The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)
Zephaniah wrote the book of Zephaniah to warn Israel and all nations of the judgment of God.
The title "the King of Israel" is used for God only twice in the Bible. Zephaniah uses it in the Old Testament (Zephaniah 3:15). Nathaniel, a disciple of Jesus, used it in the New Testament (John 1:49).
Zephaniah calls the judgment he describes "the day of the Lord." He uses this title seven times. What we learn about the day of the Lord in Zephaniah is that it is at hand, (Zephaniah 1:4, 7, 14). Even the mighty will be brought low by it (Zephaniah 1:14). It is a time of darkness, terror, wrath, desolation (Zephaniah 1:15). The day of our Lord is a time of alarm (Zephaniah 1:16). Judgment will come upon all sin (Zephaniah 1:17). It will be accompanied by great signs in nature (Zephaniah 1:15). It is the day of the Lord's anger, (Zephaniah 1:2-3) that shall fall upon all creation (Zephaniah 2:1-15; 3:8).
