G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Zephaniah 1:1-18

The first movement of the prophecy is the prophet's declaration of the coming judgment of Jehovah. This he announced in general terms, then described more particularly its procedure and character. This description opened with a comprehensive announcement, "I will utterly consume all things from off the face of the ground, saith Jehovah." Zephaniah then showed that to be a description of the creation in so far as it had become evil: man and the sphere of his dominion, the stumbling-blocks,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Zephaniah 1:7-18

The Day of YHWH Against Judah and Jerusalem (Zephaniah 1:7-18 ). Zephaniah 1:7 ‘Hold your peace at the presence of the Lord YHWH. For the day of YHWH is at hand. For YHWH has prepared a sacrifice. He has sanctified his guests.’ All are to be silent in awe in the presence of the Lord YHWH (compare Habakkuk 2:20; Lamentations 3:26; Zechariah 2:13; Revelation 8:1). The title the Lord YHWH is a favourite one of Ezekiel. It stresses His overlordship. ‘For the day of YHWH is at hand.’ This phrase... read more

Zephaniah 1:2-Job : . The Doom of Judah and Jerusalem. Zephaniah 1:2-Joshua : . Riding as it were on the crest of a tidal wave of destruction, which sweeps off man and beast from the face of the ground, Yahweh stretches His hand against Judah and Jerusalem, the centre of the world’ s offence, to cut off the priests and worshippers of Baal, together with all such as prostrate themselves before the host of heaven, mingle the worship of Yahweh with that of Molech, or otherwise prove traitor to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zephaniah 1:11

Howl, cry aloud, and bitterly, ye inhabitants of Maktesh: some read it appellatively: the mortar in which of old, before the corn-mill was known and used, they did pound and beat their corn for bread; they also pounded spices. Others say it is the lower town, or valley of Cedron in Jerusalem, a deep valley that surrounded the mountain of the temple, to which, fancied like a deep mortar, they gave the name Maktesh. All the merchant people; who were wont either to lodge in this place when they... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Zephaniah 1:1-18

ZephaniahShall we turn now in our Bibles to the book of Zephaniah. The opening verse tells us that,This is the word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, who was the son of Gedaliah, who was the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah ( Zephaniah 1:1 ).Now, of the minor prophets we really have very little of their background. For some reason we have more of Zephaniah's background than any of them, as he gives his lineage. He takes his lineage actually back to... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Zephaniah 1:1-18

Zephaniah 1:1 . The Word of the Lord came to Zephaniah. The glorious person of Christ, the Word and Wisdom of God; so indeed is the oft-repeated gloss of the Chaldaic in all the book of Chronicles, when a prophet was sent to warn and reprove the land of Israel. The name given to him by his parents, “the secret of the Lord,” might seem to have been an augur of his divine call. Zephaniah 1:2-3 . I will utterly consume man beasts birds and fishes. It was known to the ancients that birds... read more
