ZEPHANIAH SPEAKS OF THE TIME OF THE END

Today, as we witness the arrogance and Evil

Of godless men and women,

Let us understand their outcome before the Living God. Listen:

'I will sweep away everything from the face of the earth,'

Declares the Lord.

'I will sweep away both men and animals;

I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea.

The wicked will have only heaps of rubble

When I cut off man from the face of the earth,' declares the Lord.

(Zephaniah 1:3)

Be silent before the Sovereign Lord,

For THE DAY OF THE LORD is near.

The Lord has prepared a sacrifice

(Of all those who have rejected His Christ);

He has consecrated those he has invited.

ON THE DAY of the Lord's sacrifice

I will punish the princes and the king's sons

And all those clad in foreign clothes.

ON THAT DAY I will punish all who avoid stepping on the threshold

(The superstitious),

Who fill the temple of their gods with violence and deceit.

'ON THAT DAY,' declares the Lord,

'A cry will go up from the Fish Gate, wailing from the New Quarter,

And a loud crash from the hills.

Wail, you who live in the market district;

All your merchants will be wiped out,

All who trade with silver will be ruined.

At that time I will search Jerusalem

(And all the nations in The Time of The END)

With lamps and punish those who are complacent,

Who are like wine left on its dregs,

WHO THINK, 'THE LORD WILL DO NOTHING EITHER GOOD OR BAD.'

Their wealth will be plundered, their houses demolished.

They will build houses but not live in them;

They will plant vineyards but not drink the wine. (Zephaniah 1:7-13)

THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR—near and coming quickly.

Listen! The cry on THE DAY OF THE LORD will be bitter,

The shouting of the warrior there.

THAT DAY will be a day of wrath, A DAY of distress and anguish,

A DAY of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom,

A DAY of clouds and blackness, A DAY of trumpet and battle cry

Against the fortified cities and against the corner towers.

I will bring distress on the people and they will walk like blind men,

Because they have sinned against the Lord.

Their blood will be poured out like dust and their entrails like filth.

Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them

On THE DAY of the Lord's wrath.

In the fire of His jealousy the Whole World will be CONSUMED,

For he will make A SUDDEN END of all who live in the earth.

(Zephaniah 1:14-18)

Gather together, gather together, O shameful nation,

Before the appointed time arrives and THAT DAY sweeps on like chaff,

Before the fierce anger of the Lord comes upon you,

Before THE DAY of the Lord's wrath comes upon you.

Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,

You who do what he commands.

Seek righteousness, seek humility;

Perhaps you will be sheltered on THE DAY of the Lord's anger.

(Zephaniah 2:1-3)

Has God Almighty not warned mankind—every Nation?

YES, He has.

Did He send His Christ Jesus for NOTHING? No He did not.

God Almighty offers EVERY PERSON Salvation in His Son Christ Jesus;

ALL who are will to walk THE NARROW WAY;

ALL who are wiling to be crucified with Christ to this Wicked World

And no longer live,

But allow Christ to live in and through them.

This life that they now live they live by Faith in the Son of God

And His Power at work in them.

They have set their hearts on things above;

Their lives are hidden with Christ in God;

They have clothed themselves with the garments of Christ

And let His Word dwell richly in them.

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
