Zephaniah Chapter One

Read Today's Passage

... wow. Really, wow.

The minor prophets are filled with messages of judgment against humanity, but Zephaniah just seems to come out swinging with his oracle. I was taken aback by how fierce this judgment is. It just left me reeling. The Day of The Lord. Wow. All that destruction. All that pain and suffering. And the gold and silver could not save them. They built houses that they would not get to live in. Planted vineyards that would not produce anything for them. They would make all sorts of plans for success on earth, but not get to follow them through because God's justice was coming. Wow. Simply phenomenal. I am still reeling from this pronouncement. Were you hit between the eyes as well?
