Zephaniah (Sophonias)
The Prophet Zephaniah ministered during the reign of King Josiah (640–609 B.C.). His prophecy can be divided into three main sections:
- Chapter 1: A proclamation of God’s judgment upon Judah, centered on the coming Day of the Lord, which is near and approaching swiftly.
- Chapter 2: God’s judgment is extended beyond Judah to the surrounding nations.
- Chapter 3: A message of comfort and consolation is given to those who patiently wait for the Lord and faithfully serve Him together in unity.
