Turn and seek the LORD now before the "decree", i.e. the heralding that the great Day of the Lord is coming, comes to pass and all those remaining "dry bones" are blown away like chaff. You see, when Jesus Christ comes at the sound of the 7th Trump and pours out His cup of wrath, the door to the great wedding feast shall be shut and none shall enter in at that time.The choice is all yours from this day forward! [2] Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.
Remember the name "Zephaniah" means "Hidden of Yah"? To be "hid" in the day of the LORD's anger is simply to be spared from His wrath which as we have already learned (Nah. 1:2) is reserved for His enemies, not His children who love and serve Him. We also already learned that the gods of money and gold and silver cannot save a soul from His fierce anger and there is no place to hide from His candles, i.e. the Light. But even more importantly, do you remember what we learned from king Hezekiah, "Strengthened of Yah", who called a gathering, an assembly of our people to come and keep the Passover in the second month, even after it was past the time to keep it in the first month? IF our people turn to their loving Father, He will stop the clock, turn back the "shadow", and open His arms and protect His children as an eagle fluttereth over her young (Deut. 32:11). The choice is all yours from this day forward![3] Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
His Word is His Voice, the voice of the true Shepherd, not some man in some church! You "see", one must "know His voice" before He can even be obedient, right (Jn. 10:4)?Deut. 4:29
But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek Him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.[30] When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
He is merciful indeed and His promises are sure and He loves His children very much![31] (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) He will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which He sware unto them.
In our next study we will learn that the strongholds of the "migratory ones", the kentites, shall be forsaken and made a complete and utter desolation at the sound of the 7th Trump!
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
