Old Testament Survey
FOR FURTHER STUDY
1. The title "the King of Israel" is used for God only twice in the Bible. Zephaniah uses it in the Old Testament (Zephaniah 3:15). Nathaniel, a disciple of Jesus, used it in the New Testament (John 1:49).
2. Zephaniah calls the judgment he describes "the day of the Lord." He uses this title seven times. (See Zephaniah 1:7,8,14,18; 2:2-3.)
This is what we learn about the day of the Lord:
-It is at hand: Zephaniah 1:4,7,14
-Even the mighty will be brought low: Zephaniah 1:14
-It is a time of darkness, terror, wrath, desolation: Zephaniah 1:15
-It is a time of alarm: Zephaniah 1:16
-Judgment will come upon sin: Zephaniah 1:17
-It will be accompanied by great signs in nature: Zephaniah 1:15
-It is the day of the Lord's anger: Zephaniah 1:2-3
-It falls upon all creation: Zephaniah 2:1-15; 3:8
