Unlocking the Old Testament Part 55 - Zephaniah

David Pawson says that Zephaniah was a descendant of the last good king, but now, after evil kings, there was a boy king on the throne, Josiah. What kind of king would he become? The whole nation was in chaos, having had bad examples on the throne, and God sent Zephaniah as his prophet. His job was to try to pull the nation of Judah back to God before He would have to exile them as He had the northern 10 tribes already. Zephaniah warns the people of Judah and also the lands around them that there is coming a Day of the Lord when accounts must be settled, but there is time to repent and deflect punishment. Interestingly, God had brought the Philistines to Canaan at the same time as he had brought his chosen people - as an instrument of discipline for his people. David says it’s much better to have the discipline of our Father God now than to reap eternal punishment. Zephaniah is letting the people know that the choice between God’s justice and his mercy is theirs. God’s last word was always to choose his mercy. For all Zephaniah’s and good King Josiah’s efforts, the people wouldn’t listen.
David also has a book on this series find out more here: www.davidpawson.co.uk/search/...

Thank you very much for sharing Dr. David Pawson’s series UNLOCKING THE BIBLE, his teaching is so profound! I can’t get enough and will continue to watch all the series because It taught me a lot of things about the Prophets’ role and character, the books, every chapters and history in the Old Testaments. Its overwhelming to know God’s provision, plans. compassion, love, faithfulness, mercy and justice to all mankind from the past, present and future. As the bible says…

He does hide himself in plain sight! Word of God!

[@rye2264]

I've started from Genesis and have learned so much. The only thing is that I wish the publisher has published the series according to the order of Mr Pawson"s teachings, rather than the order of the Bible, because the teachings are in chronological order and set out the historical background of each book. It makes a lot more sense to follow the order of the teaching.

[@tsurumichan]

The LORD has impressed me to study the book of Zephaniah at this time, here I am to begin an insight
