Zephaniah Introduction

Zephaniah.

This prophet, a contemporary of Jeremiah, exercised his ministry during the reign of Josiah. It was a time of revival (2Ki 22), but the captivity was impending, nevertheless, and Zephaniah points out the moral state which, despite the superficial revival under Josiah (Jer 2:11-13), made it inevitable.

Zephaniah is in four parts:

  1. The coming invasion of Nebuchadnezzar a figure of the day of the Lord, Zep 1:1 - 2:3.
  2. Predictions of judgment on certain peoples, Zep 2:4-15.
  3. The moral state of Israel for which the captivity was to come, Zep 3:1-7.
  4. The judgment of the nations followed by kingdom blessing under Messiah, Zep 3:8-20.
