THE SALVATIONZephaniah 3:8-20Zephaniah 3:8 Therefore wait for me is the saying of Jehovah,For the day when I rise up to the prey;1For it is my right to gather nations together,To assemble kingdoms;To pour upon them my fury,All the heat of my anger;For by the fire of my zealThe whole earth shall be consumed.9 For then I will turn to the nations a pure lip,That they may all call upon the name of Jehovah;That they may serve Him with one shoulder.210 From beyond the rivers of CushMy worshippers,3... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Zephaniah 3:1-20

Fullness of Salvation Zephaniah 3:1-20 The sins of Jerusalem , Zephaniah 3:1-7 . Uninfluenced by judgments upon other nations, Jerusalem pursued her course, morally impure, oppressive, refusing instruction, estranged from God. Yet God still dwelt in the city which He had chosen. Morning by morning His Spirit was appealing for repentance and righteousness. Through His faithful ones He was still shedding the light and glory of a holier civilization through the community, but the population at... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Zephaniah 3:1-20

In this chapter the prophet yet more clearly set forth the sin of the people, and spoke of the hopelessness of the case from the human standpoint. This gave him his opportunity to announce the victory of God, who, notwithstanding the utter failure of His people, would ultimately accomplish the purpose of His love for them. The address opened with a declaration of woe against Jerusalem, which the prophet described as rebellious, polluted, and oppressing. In the presence of this utter... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Zephaniah 3:17

GOD’S IMMOVABLE LOVE‘He will rest in His love.’ Zephaniah 3:17 We are going to the ground of everything—of all comfort and all hope, of all affection and all happiness—when we say that God ‘rests in His love.’ God has not left us without sufficient evidence on which to rest the blessed assurance. Let us trace it. I. First, we see God in creation.—There He began to unfold His love; and this first manifestation was a beautiful world, in which everything reflected back God to Himself. God was... read more

The Future Hope Will Follow Judgment (Zephaniah 3:8-13 ). Zephaniah 3:8 “Therefore wait for me,” says YHWH, “Until the day that I rise up for a witness. For my considered decision is to gather the nations, That I may assemble the kingdoms, To pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger. For all the earth will be consumed, With the fire of my jealous wrath.” ‘Wait for me.’ There will be delay. The world will have to await His timing. But God has determined that He will one day arise... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zephaniah 3:11

In that day; when pardoned captives and dispersed ones shall return and serve the Lord with one consent, mourning for their sins, and seeking the Lord. Not be ashamed, with a shame of reproach and confusion: when sin is pardoned, and sinful hearts are purified, reproachful shame may well cease, Isaiah 54:4,Isaiah 54:5. Thy doings; which are expounded in the following words: the prophet speaks of the sins they formerly committed against the Lord. Them that rejoice in thy pride; hypocrites, proud... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zephaniah 3:12

I will also leave: the Chaldeans had spared none if the Lord had not preserved a remnant; it is he, rather than they, which did leave a remnant. In the midst of thee; to return and dwell in Judea and Jerusalem. An afflicted people; or a people of a broken spirit, a meek, humble, spirited people, instead of that proud heart which was once among them. Poor; not so much in outward respects as poor in spirit, such a people as the Lord can delight in. They shall trust in the name of the Lord; not in... read more
