Podcasts about lord zephaniah

Yesterday in reading the chapter in Peter we could have noted that Peter also wrote, “you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets …” [2 Peter 3:2]. Now we are currently reading the short prophecy of Zephaniah. His message starts “The word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah …” It is God revealing the future to him  and through him to us.    His first chapter is about “the great day of the LORD” [Zephaniah 1:14] and of course a day of God's judgements was soon to come on Jerusalem in the next generation or two  but this prophecy, while including predictions about that tragedy, so much deserved because of their spiritual failures, goes on to look beyond this to an ultimate day when, says God, “I will bring distress on mankind, so that they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD … In the fire of his jealousy, all the earth shall be consumed” [Zephaniah 1:18].     This reminds us that Peter wrote that the “heavens and the earth which now exist are stored up for fire” [2 Peter 3:7]. Now “fire” is used as a means of getting rid of that which is bad, a cleansing, leading to renewal. We know how the bushfires in this country lead to a cleansing and renewal of growth.     In today's chapter God in Zephaniah has a powerful message for us. “Before the decree takes effect (today, here and now) before there comes upon you the burning anger of the LORD. Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden in the day of the anger of the LORD.” [Zephaniah 2:2,3]      To that message we can add what John writes in our New Testament reading, “all that is in the world  the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of possessions  is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” [1 John 2:16,17]

Open Door Church is in the One Single Story sermon series. Pastor Stephen Mizell preaches out of the book of Zephaniah on the three things that will be seen on the Great Day of the Lord. One Single Story September 3, 2023 Pastor Stephen Mizell Open Door Church, Edenton, NC

Through Zephaniah, God warns the world of the judgment that will come. This is serious, but the good news is, God loves to save! Outline Context (1:1) God's sweeping judgment (1:2-7) because of his people's sin (1:8-2:3) because of the world's sin (2:4-3:8) Singing for God's Salvation! (3:9-20)

Sing, Daughter Zion; shout aloud, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm. On that day they will say to Jerusalem, “Do not fear, Zion; do not let your hands hang limp. The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you but will rejoice over you with singing.” “I will remove from you all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals, which is a burden and reproach for you. At that time, I will deal with all who oppressed you. I will rescue the lame; I will gather the exiles. I will give them praise and honor in every land where they have suffered shame. At that time, I will gather you; at that time, I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes,” says the Lord (Zephaniah 3:14-20). Overall, Zephaniah's prophecies are a lament. There is not much good in Israel. Nor does he prophecy good things for Israel. Yet, his book ends inviting God's people to rejoice. Suffering and pain are ahead of her, so how can she rejoice? Because after her punishment God will act to heal her. Through the lens of the New Testament, we see that Jesus acted just as God promised. Let's have a look. First, God will pardon Israel for her sins. Much of the book explores God as Israel's judge. His people are guilty of breaking covenant. Zion was a rebellious, polluted, and oppressing city (3:1). That forgiving sin is central to Jesus' mission is clear from the outset. The angel said to Joseph, “you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Several times in his ministry, Jesus heals people with the words, “Your sins are forgiven” (Luke 5:23, 7:48). Christmas is only an empty holiday filled with trivialities if there is no sin to forgive. Our joy will be empty and vague if we cannot rejoice in being forgiven sinners. Second, God comes to Israel as the Divine Warrior to defeat all her enemies. “Never again does Israel need to fear any harm,” says Zephaniah. Jesus's first disciples portray him as this Divine Warrior, though he defeated the principalities and powers who ruin human life in a most unexpected way. “Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through His death He might destroy the one holding the power of death— that is, the Devil— and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death” (Hebrews 2:14-15). Third, Zephaniah says, “The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you” (15,17). In the dark days, God seemed absent. But God will return to his people. We see here hints of Jesus name, Immanuel. Paul wrote that once we were "without hope and without God in this world" (Ephesians 2:12). But now in Christ Jesus we who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ (13). Jesus gives us his Holy Spirit so that he is with us all the time. Indeed, God is with us, Immanuel. Fourth, God comes acting as Israel's shepherd. He deals with the wolves and false shepherds who oppressed his flock and he “rescues the lame and gathers those who have been scattered.” Picking up this image, Jesus says he is the Good Shepherd who gathers all his lost sheep into the fold (John 10:14-16). We witness Jesus doing this very thing with incredible tenderness. Finally, the shame of God's defeated people will be replaced by “praise and honor in every land where they were put to shame.” In every way, God will come and “restore your fortunes.” Paul writes, “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6-7). Some of this we already experience today, but much of it is still waiting for us. Already now, in Christ we can know the forgiveness of our sins; we can experience Jesus gathering us into the fellowship of his people. We'd love to connect with you so you can know more about these things. Like Israel, we are invited to rejoice not only in what we have now, but in what God is still preparing for us. For us Christmas is more than just looking back to Jesus' birth. It is also looking forward with expectation to his return and the fulfillment of all these promises.  

Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the Lord (Zephaniah 2:3). We pray that none shall perish.

In this episode of Pray the Word on Zephaniah 2:3, David Platt provides a sobering reminder of how we are to seek the Lord. 

Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 2:12, “We exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.” As Christ-followers we are called into Christ's kingdom and are submitted to his kingship, therefore we are charged to walk in a manner worthy of God. We are called to live our lives in faithful obedience to the King, in an effort to represent him properly before the watching world. Let's pursue this together as the body of Christ, and let's grow in this endeavor as we study this book of Scripture at Verse By Verse Fellowship.

Our youth need Godly examples. 2. The world needs people who commit to seeking after God. 3. The world needs people who respond to God's Word.

“The Day of the Lord” Zephaniah 1-3 1) On the Day of the Lord, God will come in Judgment 6 and those who turn back from following the Lord, who do not seek the Lord or inquire of him. 7 Be silent in the presence of the Lord God, for the day of the Lord is near. Indeed, the Lord has prepared a sacrifice; he has consecrated his guests. Matthew 24 21 For at that time there will be great distress, the kind that hasn't taken place from the beginning of the world until now and never will again. 22 Unless those days were cut short, no one would be saved. But those days will be cut short because of the elect. 23 “If anyone tells you then, ‘See, here is the Messiah!' or, ‘Over here!' do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Matthew 24 29 “Immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the peoples of the earth will mourn; and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. 2) All have sinned against the Lord, but Repentance is still possible 1 Gather yourselves together; gather together, undesirable nation, 2 before the decree takes effect and the day passes like chaff, before the burning of the Lord's anger overtakes you, before the day of the Lord's anger overtakes you. 3 Seek the Lord, all you humble of the earth, who carry out what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be concealed on the day of the Lord's anger. Judgment against the Nations 4 For Gaza will be abandoned, and Ashkelon will become a ruin. Ashdod will be driven out at noon, and Ekron will be uprooted. 5 Woe, inhabitants of the seacoast, nation of the Cherethites! The word of the Lord is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines: I will destroy you until there is no one left. 6 The seacoast will become pasturelands with caves for shepherds and pens for sheep. 7 The coastland will belong to the remnant of the house of Judah; they will find pasture there. They will lie down in the evening among the houses of Ashkelon, for the Lord their God will return to them and restore their fortunes. 8 I have heard the taunting of Moab and the insults of the Ammonites, who have taunted my people and threatened their territory. 9 Therefore, as I live — this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel — Moab will be like Sodom and the Ammonites like Gomorrah: a place overgrown with weeds, a salt pit, and a perpetual wasteland. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the remainder of my nation will dispossess them. 10 This is what they get for their pride, because they have taunted and acted arrogantly against the people of the Lord of Armies. 11 The Lord will be terrifying to them when he starves all the gods of the earth. Then all the distant coasts and islands of the nations will bow in worship to him, each in its own place. 12 You Cushites will also be slain by my sword. 13 He will also stretch out his hand against the north and destroy Assyria; he will make Nineveh a desolate ruin, dry as the desert. 3) God demonstrates His grace by Restoring His people to Himself 1 Woe to the city that is rebellious and defiled, the oppressive city! 2 She has not obeyed; she has not accepted discipline. She has not trusted in the Lord; she has not drawn near to her God. 3 The princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are wolves of the night, which leave nothing for the morning. 6 I have cut off nations; their corner towers are destroyed. I have laid waste their streets, with no one to pass through. Their cities lie devastated, without a person, without an inhabitant. 7 I said: You will certainly fear me and accept correction. Then her dwelling place would not be cut off based on all that I had allocated to her. However, they became more corrupt in all their actions. 8 Therefore, wait for me  — this is the Lord's declaration — until the day I rise up for plunder. For my decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, in order to pour out my indignation on them, all my burning anger; for the whole earth will be consumed by the fire of my jealousy. 9 For I will then restore pure speech to the peoples so that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve him with a single purpose. 10 From beyond the rivers of Cush my supplicants, my dispersed people, will bring an offering to me. 11 On that day you will not be put to shame because of everything you have done in rebelling against me. For then I will remove from among you your jubilant, arrogant people, and you will never again be haughty on my holy mountain. 12 I will leave a meek and humble people among you, and they will take refuge in the name of the Lord. 13 The remnant of Israel will no longer do wrong or tell lies; a deceitful tongue will not be found in their mouths. They will pasture and lie down, with nothing to make them afraid. 14 Sing for joy, Daughter Zion; shout loudly, Israel! Be glad and celebrate with all your heart, Daughter Jerusalem! 15 The Lord has removed your punishment; he has turned back your enemy. The King of Israel, the Lord, is among you; you need no longer fear harm. 16 On that day it will be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear; Zion, do not let your hands grow weak. 17 The Lord your God is among you, a warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will be quiet in his love. He will delight in you with singing.” 18 I will gather those who have been driven from the appointed festivals; they will be a tribute from you and a reproach on her. 19 Yes, at that time I will deal with all who oppress you. I will save the lame and gather the outcasts; I will make those who were disgraced throughout the earth receive praise and fame. 20 At that time I will bring you back, yes, at the time I will gather you. I will give you fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes. The Lord has spoken.

Be Silent Before the LORD Zephaniah 1:7-11 Wednesday Night Bible Study 10-14-20

Study Notes Ed Underwood Zephaniah: Judgment and Deliverance in the Day of the Lord “Be alert before the Lord God, for the Lord’s day of judgment is almost here.” (Zephaniah 1:7) The seventeen Books of Prophecy record the messages of the writing prophets (those whose messages are preserved in writing) God raised up to speak for him following the ministries of the prophets Elijah and Elisha. The failings of the Divided Kingdom Era prompted God to speak to Israel in the north and Judah in the south. They continued to speak to God’s people for over 400 years, including the exile to Babylonia and the return to the Promise Land. (1 Kings 12-Esther) The prophets spoke for God to His people concerning the enforcement of terms of their covenant relationship with God. Each spoke to a specific generation of Israel or Judah to enforce the conditional covenant (Mosaic) in the context of the unconditional covenants flowing from the Abrahamic Covenant. Their message can be summed up in these sentences: You are mine! (Unconditional covenants, Romans 11:29). Walk with me and I will bless you. Walk away from me and I will call you back to myself through loving discipline (Conditional covenant, Romans 9-11). Zephaniah was the great grandson of godly King Hezekiah of Judah. His name, “Yahweh hides,” probably means that he was one of the descendants of David hidden from the atrocities of evil King Manasseh. As royalty, Zephaniah lived in Jerusalem and spoke primarily to the leaders and the privileged of Jerusalem during the reign of his relative, King Josiah. The prophet spoke to Judah during a time of relative peace and top-down reform under Josiah. However, the fifty years of enforced idolatry and gratuitous injustice and immorality had entrenched the Judean society in wickedness and rebellion against God. King Josiah’s reforms failed to penetrate the culture, and the Babylonians were emerging as a powerful enemy. God sent Zephaniah to tell Judah to embrace Josiah’s reforms in their hearts. He warns them of the coming Day of the Lord—a phrase repeated 23 times in only 3 chapters! Obadiah and Joel introduced the concept of the Day of the Lord, but Zephaniah speaks more of the ultimate Day of the Lord when God will destroy His enemies, remake creation, and keep all of His promises to Israel and Gentiles who trust in Him. The Day of the Lord is any “day,” or time, in history when God intervenes dramatically to control human events. “Zephaniah’s purpose was to announce coming judgment on Judah in the Day of the Lord. However, he said that judgment would extend to all the nations of the earth, indicating that the Day of the Lord would also bring deliverance of Israel and the Gentiles.” (Charles H. Dyer, The Old Testament Explorer, p. 809) This little book is a grim reminder to those who oppose God that He is not ignoring their callous rebellion. But it also offers great hope to all who trust in the God of Zephaniah: Zephaniah: Rejoice in the assurance of the coming Day of the Lord! The Lord Jesus alluded to this Minor Prophet on two occasions (Matthew 13:41; 24:29) to connect Zephaniah’s Day of the Lord with His Second Coming. I. JUDGMENT IN THE DAY OF THE LORD: The prophetical oracle begins with an awesome statement of God’s coming judgment upon all the earth because of the sins of humanity. The Day of the Lord will come with wrath and irrevocability, and God will have the last word. (1:1-3:8) JUDGMENT ON THE WHOLE EARTH AND JUDAH: God vows to make an end to both humanity and the animal world (1:2-3). Zephaniah then concentrates on the judgment of Judah (1:4-18), listing some of her offenses. Judah is poisoned with idolatrous priests who promote the worship of Baal and nature. Her leaders are completely corrupt. However, by His grace, Yahweh appeals to His people to repent and humblethemselves to avert the coming disaster before it’s too late (2:1-3). (1:4-2:3) JUDGMENT ON JUDAH’S NEIGHBORS AND JERUSALEM: Like Amos before him in the north, Zephaniah pronounces God’s coming judgment on the nations that surround Judah (2:4-15). Then he turns his attention to Jerusalem, the city of his ancestor, David (3:1-8). Like the pagan nations around her, Jerusalem “is disobedient; she refuses correction. She does not trust the Lord; she does not seek the advice of her God” (3:2). (2:4-15) II. DELIVERANCE AND BLESSING IN THE DAY OF THE LORD: Zephaniah assures his readers who trust in His God that the Day of the Lord isn’t all bad news. God’s dramatic intervention in history will bring deliverance and blessing to those who turn to God. (3:9-20) A. FUTURE BLESSINGS FOR GENTILES: With imagery from humanity’s original rebellion at Babel, Zephaniah looks forward to the time when human language will become a unifying factor and God’s people will gather from all nations to worship Him. (3:9-10) B. FUTURE BLESSINGS FOR ISRAEL: The remnant of Israel will be gathered, redeemed and restored. They will rejoice in their Redeemer, and He will be in their midst. (3:11-20) ZEPHANIAH AND YOU: The Day of the Lord is a consistent theme of the Bible. I believe Zephaniah speaks of several “days” of the Lord. The day of judgment when the Babylonians would take Judeans into captivity and the day of blessing when God returned them to the Land. The future day of judgment for Israel during the Great Tribulation and its day of blessing during the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ. However, the most specific Day of the Lord Zephaniah pictures and Jesus and the Apostles spoke of is the coming Day of the Lord when God will destroy sin by recreating the heavens and the earth after the Millennium. 2 Peter 3 is the “Zephaniah of the New Testament.” Just as in the days of Zephaniah, doubters and critics will always say that prophecies concerning the Day of the Lord are invalid because God hasn’t intervened in human history as dramatically as the writers of Scripture predict (2 Peter 3:1-10). Don’t make that mistake! Just as He did at His Incarnation, Jesus will show up again. He will fulfill every Biblical prediction concerning His Second Coming. Just as in the days of Zephaniah, God’s people are given something to do until the Day of the Lord arrives. For us, it is to join God in His relentless pursuit of those who need to turn to Him (2 Peter 3:8-9). This is a great motivator for us! We can become part of the answer to our Breakthrough Prayer to bring us 250 more who are folded into our redeemed community. Please pray for the privilege of reaching just one who is outside of the grace and mercy of God in your world by name. Just as in the days of Zephaniah, our society is irreversibly polluted by injustice and rebellion against God. The solution isn’t top-down through reform and legislation. This doesn’t mean we’re not politically astute and active. It means that our hope isn’t in America; it’s in our God. Our sin, the sin of humanity is too severe to be “fixed” by earthly reform. God will have to intervene by recreating everything to erase the impact of our sin. The only deliverance from sin is through Jesus’ work on the Cross. The only final solution for sin’s stain on Creation is the Day of the Lord. Messiah: Jesus associated Zephaniah’s day of the Lord with His second advent, making it clear that He is the One who will fulfill the great promises of the prophet.

The Lord Will Save (PM). Series: The Day of the Lord (Zephaniah). Type: Sermon

The Lord Will Save (PM). Series: The Day of the Lord (Zephaniah). Type: Sermon

"THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD" 15th Yesterday in reading the chapter in Peter we could have noted that Peter also wrote, "you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets …" [2 Peter 3:2]. Now we are currently reading the short prophecy of Zephaniah. His message starts "The word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah …" It is God revealing the future to him ­ and through him to us. His first chapter is about "the great day of the LORD" [Zephaniah 1:14] and of course a day of God's judgements was soon to come on Jerusalem in the next generation or two ­ but this prophecy, while including predictions about that tragedy, so much deserved because of their spiritual failures, goes on to look beyond this to an ultimate day when, says God, "I will bring distress on mankind, so that they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD … In the fire of his jealousy, all the earth shall be consumed" [Zephaniah 1:18]. This reminds us that Peter wrote that the "heavens and the earth which now exist are stored up for fire" [2 Peter 3:7]. Now "fire" is used as a means of getting rid of that which is bad, a cleansing, leading to renewal. We know how the bushfires in this country lead to a cleansing and renewal of growth. In today's chapter God in Zephaniah has a powerful message for us. "Before the decree takes effect (today, here and now) before there comes upon you the burning anger of the LORD. Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden in the day of the anger of the LORD." [Zephaniah 2:2,3] To that message we can add what John writes in our New Testament reading, "all that is in the world ­ the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of possessions ­ is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." [1 John 2:16,17]

Encouragement for the listener that now is the time to turn, repent, surrender, accept the Lord before punishment falls --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tasteandsee/support

Zephaniah spoke against the practice of worshiping other Gods along with the real God. We cannot live with one foot in the faith and one in the world. The emphasis is on turning back towards the Lord in repentance knowing that He delights in us.
