Excerpt
The book of Zephaniah discusses the great and terrible Day of the Lord. The Day of the Lord will be the worst time of suffering on this planet. It is almost here! How can we know when the Day of the Lord is near? The book of Zephaniah reveals the specific sign that indicates when the Day of the Lord is very close.
The name Zephaniah means God hides or God protects. That name carries important meaning. This world is quickly entering a time when the number one concern will be a “place of safety.” People will need protection from some of the greatest horror this world has ever seen. God promises to protect or hide His loyal people during the Great Tribulation, which culminates with the Day of the Lord. This is very good news. God always provides good news that overshadows the bad news.
Zephaniah also has much to say about God’s own people—the Church. As God continues to reveal new truth from the prophets, we see that when the Church is mentioned, God is referring to His own end-time Laodiceans, or lukewarm Church, much of the time. In general, the worldly churches are lumped together with the nation of Israel. Zephaniah gives the Laodiceans grave warning concerning the Day of the Lord.
