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

Zephaniah 1:1-6The word of the Lord which came unto Zephaniah.The WordI. THE DISTINGUISHING CAPACITY OF MAN, AND THE WONDERFUL CONDESCENSION OF GOD.1. The distinguishing capacity of man. To receive the word of Jehovah. To receive a word from another is to appreciate its meaning. The word of the Lord comes to every man at times,--comes in visions of the night, comes in the intuitions of conscience, comes in the impressions that nature makes on the heart.2. The wonderful condescension of God.... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Zephaniah 1:2-18

THE DAY OF JEHOVAH A DAY OF TERROR ONLY ONE WAY OF ESCAPE, Zephaniah 1:2 to Zephaniah 2:3. The prophecy of Zephaniah opens with the announcement of a world judgment (Zephaniah 1:2-3); the heaviest blow will fall upon Judah and Jerusalem for their deeds of violence and their religious apostasy (Zephaniah 1:4-9). The prophet pictures the execution of judgment (Zephaniah 1:10-11), and chapter 1 closes with a vivid picture of the terrible day of Jehovah, which “is near and hasteth greatly”... read more

4. Stretch out mine hand To smite (Isaiah 5:25; Isaiah 9:12 ff.). Equivalent to “turn my hand against” (see on Amos 1:8). Judah,… Jerusalem Zephaniah prophesies concerning the southern kingdom; the northern kingdom was destroyed a century before his day. Remnant of Baal Literally, remnant of the Baal. The translators of LXX. have been influenced by Hosea 2:17, “the names of the Baalim”; at any rate, there seems insufficient reason for doubting the originality of the present Hebrew... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Zephaniah 1:4-9

Judgment upon Judah and Jerusalem, Zephaniah 1:4-9. The judgment will be particularly severe upon Judah and Jerusalem (4), because they “have not sought Jehovah nor inquired after him”; instead, they have practiced idolatrous rites of various kinds (Zephaniah 1:4-6). In Jerusalem the ungodly nobles will suffer the most, because they are arrogant and have practiced oppression, violence, and deceit (Zephaniah 1:7-9). read more
