Reformation Orthodox Presbyterian Church

Having described a great day of the Lord, which was soon to come, eminent judgment for the rebellion of Israel, and the failed reformation of King Josiah, which would be brought to a halt due to his untimely death in battle. Zephaniah is not talking about a possible judgment. He is talking about a sure judgment and the only hope for those swelling in Israel is that through their repentance one might be hid from the wrath which was to come. In fact this seems to be a continued theme of God's calling to repentance - -Get beneath the blood-stained lintel-,- and -The rain is coming, that much is sure, so get on the boat--
