Geneva Study Bible - Zephaniah 2:7

2:7 And the coast shall be for the {e} remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.(e) He shows why God would destroy their enemies, because their country would be a resting place for his Church. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Zephaniah 2:1-15

ZEPHANIAH DIVINE DEVASTATION AND PROMISE Little is known of the personal history of Zephaniah beyond the two facts in the first verse of his prophecy, the first bearing on his ancestry and the second on the period of his ministry. About fifty years have elapsed since Nahum, and Hezekiah has been succeeded by three of his descendants (see 2 Kings 20-21). Manasseh and Amon were idolatrous and wicked, but Josiah now upon the throne, is righteous and God-fearing. The story of his reign is in the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Zephaniah 2:1-15

The Candle of the Lord Zephaniah 1-3 "The word of the Lord which came unto Zephaniah" ( Zep 1:1 ). Observe that the prophets never professed to tell what word of the Lord came to anybody else. That is the vital point; that is the point which we have all forgotten. Read the introductions which the men themselves wrote: where do they find their texts? In the mouth of the Lord. When does any prophet arise to say, "I am going to preach to you to-day from the words of some other prophet?"... read more

"For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. (5) Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. (6) And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks. (7) And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Zephaniah 2:4-15

4-15 Those are really in a woful condition who have the word of the Lord against them, for no word of his shall fall to the ground. God will restore his people to their rights, though long kept from them. It has been the common lot of God's people, in all ages, to be reproached and reviled. God shall be worshipped, not only by all Israel, and the strangers who join them, but by the heathen. Remote nations must be reckoned with for the wrongs done to God's people. The sufferings of the insolent... read more

The Exhortation and the Doom of the Philistines v. 1. Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, as for a penitential assembly with earnest self-examination, o nation not desired, literally, "that does not grow pale," which till now has felt no sense of shame, v. 2. before the decree bring forth, when, according to God's plan, the day of judgment upon Judah would suddenly come, before the day pass as the chaff, coming on quickly as when the wind carries the chaff along, before the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Zephaniah 2:1-15

Meekness Saves, Pride Destroys Zephaniah 2:1-15 The nation, on the whole, had no remorse, no desire for God; but there were a few meek and lowly souls, and the hope was held out to them that they would be hidden from the coming overthrow. God discriminates in His judgments, and sends His angels to conduct Lot out of Sodom. The judgment of the surrounding nations occupies Zephaniah 2:4-15 . Philistia, Moab, Amnion, Ethiopia and Assyria, are mentioned. God never forgets the treatment meted out... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Zephaniah 2:1-15

After this declaration, the prophet uttered his great appeal, first to the nation as a whole, calling on it to pull itself together before the opportunity for repentance should pass, before the hour of judgment should arrive. As though conscious that that larger appeal would be unavailing, he turned to the remnant, to such as were the "meek of the earth," and urged them to renewed devotion. This appeal he enforced by argument, in which he again set forth the fact of the coming judgment on the... read more
