Zephaniah Overview
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
Zephaniah is often an overlooked book in the Bible that predicts the destruction of Judah because of their idolatry and lack of repentance. The book is divided into three chapters and uses powerful Hebrew poetry and metaphors to warn of the impending judgment that is coming. Despite punishment and warnings, the remnant of Israel will serve the Lord with pure speech and righteousness, and Gentiles will become worshippers and offer spiritual sacrifices.
