Excerpt

Zephaniah Chapter 1: The destruction of Judah is symbolic of the Second Coming—It is the day of the Lord’s sacrifice, a day of wrath and trouble. Chapter 2: Seek righteousness; seek meekness—Judgment will come upon the Philistines, the Moabites, the children of Ammon, the Ethiopians, and the Assyrians. Chapter 3: At the Second Coming, all nations will assemble to battle—Men will have a pure language—The Lord will reign in their midst.
