Rev. Andrew Jagow, pastor at Bethany Lutheran Church in Alexandria, VA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Zephaniah 2:4-15. Zephaniah looks toward each point of the compass in order to proclaim the Word of the LORD to the nations around Judah. To the west, the LORD tells the Philistines that the day of the LORD will bring desolation. To the east, the LORD condemns Moab and Ammon for their prideful boasting against His people. To the south, the LORD tells the Cushites that they will be slain by the sword. To the north, the LORD proclaims that Assyria’s claim of divinity will bring about complete destruction. The LORD speaks to these foreign nations because He loves all mankind and desires all sinners to be saved through repentance and faith in His Son Jesus Christ. This truth comes through in Zephaniah’s words concerning the remnant of Judah and the people from every nation who will come to bow down in faith before the LORD.
