There shall be another, a false messiah also riding on a "white horse"(Satan,the false-christ) (Rev. 6:1), who will appear before the Faithful and True Messiah comes and he will claim that it is he who is the true messiah and he shall successfully deceive the whole world by his signs and wonders into believing his Big Lie
The great Book of Zephaniah is about the warning to all nations of the Great Day of the Lord, the return of Yeshua Messiah, who shall come with His saints and subdue all nations and set up the just and righteous Kingdom of God upon Mt. Zion. The apostle John gives us a "picture" of that Great Day when the King of kings and Lord of lords returns and subdues all nations and establishes His righteous world rulership on earth, i.e. the Kingdom of God!"The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly." (Zeph. 1:14)
There shall be another, a false messiah also riding on a "white horse" (Rev. 6:1), who will appear before the Faithful and True Messiah comes and who will claim that it is he who is the true messiah and he shall successfully deceive the whole world by his signs and wonders into believing his Big Lie (2 Thes. 2:9-12)! Such will precipitate the fury of God's wrath to be poured out at the sound of the 7th Trump.Rev. 19:11
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war.
There will be "fire in His eyes" all right when Jesus Christ returns and as we noted in our previous studies He shall utterly "consume" with that fire all that is evil and wicked and EVERY knee shall bow before Him. It is important to note that the subject being discussed here in Rev. 19 is the coming of Jesus Christ to judge and subdue (make war) and to rule all nations henceforth "with a rod of iron" (vs. 15). To that end, ALL the kings of the earth shall submit their crowns to the King of kings (He shall wear them ALL) who in turn shall give those crowns to the saints of the most high who shall enforce His Word among the nations... He knows who! Perhaps your name is on one of those crowns! Rev. 5:10 "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth."[12]His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
[13] And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
These are the saints of the Most High who are clothed in righteousness! Rev. 19:8 "And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints."[14]And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
The "sharp sword" is His Word which proceeds out of His mouth: Rev. 1:16 "...and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength." To rule with a "rod of iron" simply means that His Word will be "strictly adhered to" during the Millennium, i.e. communism, socialism, and liberalism will not be allowed to flourish.[15] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.[16]And He hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
As it written, the announcement of this change of government SHALL BE "proclaimed to all nations" before that Great Day by God's elect when they are delivered up, those "Hidden of Yah" (Zephaniah). Joel gives us some more details of that proclamation that shall go forth to the nations of the coming kingdom, of "He who shall come to judge and make war":
"Jehoshaphat" (Jeho-shaphat) means "Jehovah-judges", or "Yahveh pronounces sentence". We just read that the nations shall be gathered in the Valley of Jehoshaphat, that Valley of Decision, and they SHALL HEAR the "Decisions of the Judge"!Joel 3:9-14
Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: [10] Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. [11] Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. [12] Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. [13] Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. [14]Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
And though as we also just read "their wickedness is great", and therefore many leaders shall not heed the warning, nevertheless before that gathering in the valley of decision the good news that the Kingdom of God is coming, i.e. the gospel of the kingdom (coming), shall be proclaimed (heralded as a trumpet) "in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:14)".
Yes, Jesus Christ will usher in that glorious time we call the Millennium when justice shall be executed and His truth shall flow as a river of living water unto all nations. However, it is also written that on that glorious day He returns there be a great cleansing, a tremendous thumping, as His feet touch down upon the Mount of Olives and it splits asunder (Zech. 14:4). Remember, Jesus Christ told His disciples as He departed from the temple in Jerusalem that when He returns "there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down (Luke 21:6)". That is because that great city of Jerusalem shall have become the seat of the abomination of desolation, the one who has come claiming he is the messiah and claiming that the "city" belongs to him. The truth of the matter is, as the capital of Babylon the Great it shall have "become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird (Rev. 18:2)". Woe to that great city!
Therefore that city shall be given the final warning, the final witness, the final "woe" as recorded here in Zephaniah. It shall even be in the street (open square) of that polluted city that the two witnesses shall lie three days prior to the return of the King of kings. Rev. 11:8 "And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom [idolatry, spiritual perversion] and Egypt [oppression, spiritual captivity], where also our Lord was crucified [i.e. Jerusalem]."
And now the proclamation to Jerusalem, that filthy and polluted (Sodom), oppressing (Egypt) city!
What a sad state of affairs this great city of Jerusalem has become! It is made even more sad by the fact that our Father personally and affectionately chose this location as His favorite spot in all the earth and it shall yet become the headquarters of the universe for all eternity (Rev. 3:12, 21:2). To that end, it would serve one well to read the 16th chapter of Ezekiel before completing this final chapter in Zephaniah to understand the tenderness of how our Father took Jerusalem, a city who had an unclean birth, and cared for her and then took her to wife as His own. And now just look at her! She is filthy (spiritually) and unholy and polluted, and she is poised and ready to receive the false messiah, the false cornerstone of the temple (Satan standing in the holy place), an abomination indeed!Zeph. 3:1
Woeto her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
Note: If you follow the current events in the Middle East you know that there have been two attempts recently by the Temple Mount Faithful to lay a "cornerstone" on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem for a third temple. Watch, watchmen!
She has committed every abominable act under the sun, including killing the prophets and the Son of God, but she will NOT hearken to the voice of God. Oh how our Father wished she would![2] She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
Luke 13:34
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
Her leaders stalk about like roaring lions seeking to devour everything and everyone, just like their father (1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.") And her "judges" are like wolves, who are most ravenous at evening after being foodless all day, who so thoroughly consume their prey they do not even leave a few bones to chew on the next day! Such is the picture of the spiritual desolation ultimately caused by the leaven, the doctrine, of the scribes and Pharisees! That is why Christ warned us to "Beware"! Watch whose "bread" you eat! Matthew 16:6 "Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."Zeph. 2:3
Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
Her religious leaders have also gone the way of their father. Like father, like son! Here is what Christ said to scribes and Pharisees: John 8:41 "Ye do the deeds of your father... [44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."[4] Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
Their father, the devil, both polluted the sanctuary and did violence (better translated "corruption") to the law of God in the first age and there is nothing new under the sun, i.e. in this earth age!
Mountains are symbolic of nations (even governments) and the "stones of fire" are the children of God (God is a consuming fire - Heb. 12:29) represented by those 12 stones the Levitical priests wore in their breastplates. You will find in Ezek. 28:13 that Satan ALSO wore those stones for they are all listed there as "his covering", i.e. something he wore! That's right, Satan was once a high priest among our people and he walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire! He is soon coming to walk up and down and stand in the midst of those stones, even the temple of God, once again!Ezekiel 28:16
By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence [corruption], and thou hast sinned [chata = "drawn away" God's children]: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
We just read Satan's sentencing from the Supreme Judge and his sentence reads DEATH, "To be executed in the lake of fire! No appeal!" In other words, Satan has been sentenced by God to PERISH, to be totally consumed, to be turned to ashes whereby he shall cease to exist (see next verse). That is why he is called the "son of perdition", the son who will perish! This same fate (perishing, not frying forever) awaits all the incorrigibly wicked, i.e. those who believe not Christ, at their judgment at the end of the Millennium.[17] Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.[18]Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
Of course the alternative to perishing is to believe the Son of God and receive eternal life. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Otherwise, just like the son of perdition you shall be consumed in the lake of fire and "never shalt thou be any more"!
Our Father is completely just and fair! He is not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). Therefore understand that if He did not bring the wicked and the unjust to judgment, He Himself would commit iniquity. This He will not do![19] All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. (perish)
God will not do iniquity by letting their unrepentant sins go unpunished. That would be wrong, indeed!Zephaniah 3:5
The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring His judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
I believe there is enough documented historical evidence from two earth ages to make the case, don't you?[6] I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
You would think they would get the message and heed the warning! Surely! But NO! Well, after the final proclamation goes forth from the two witnesses they will not be able to say, "Gee, I didn't know. Talk to my attorney!" Sorry! See you in the Valley of Jehoshaphat![7] I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
Dr. Bullinger points out in the Companion Bible (pg. 1274) that this verse actually contains ALL the letters of the Hebrew alphabet including the five final letters! "This implies that the verse takes in the whole purpose of Jehovah concerning Israel.", he writes.[8]Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey [enemy]: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
And so it does, for the Plan of God is being worked out here on this earth as His children walk "under the sun", i.e. in temporary flesh bodies, wherein the "fruits of their spirit" are manifested (made known, brought forth) in the flesh and cast upon others which in the case of the wicked may inflict great pain and cause suffering and even death, yet without destroying the soul. For you see, when Jesus Christ returns and "utterly consumes all things from off the land (Zeph. 1:2)", i.e. ends this flesh age, He will at the same time destroy Babylon the Great and end the confusion of the Tower of Babel and turn the people to a pure language.
This means more than just turning the people back to the language of the angels, even pure Hebrew, but it means to give them "clean lips" (from the Word of God) that "they may all call upon the name of the LORD to serve Him with one consent".[9] For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
This is the good news... no, the great news, the promise written throughout the scriptures by all the prophets of the restoration of His scattered people! This happens during the Millennium which begins on the Great Day of the Lord's return. And you know what....?[10] From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
"The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly." (Zeph. 1:14)
So many Christian preachers and teachers shy away from teaching the "negative" part of God's plan, even claiming publicly before the world that they do not know "why" God allows "bad things" to happen in the world.And though they may be well intentioned and are basically good people, they have failed to see His great purpose in the lessons and the "tribulations" of this "temporary" flesh age because they have failed to study His Word line by line in place of teaching the vain (empty) traditions of men which provide no meat for understanding. They therefore do not really know the "Love" of God which involves even severe chastisement at times, for the GOOD of His children because He loves them. As it is written in 2 Pet. 3:9, it is His desire that NONE should perish, but that all should come to repentance.All that many people know about the fear (reverence, i.e. love) of God is the sugar sweet "little baby Jesus" stuff they are taught, the "just have love in your heart and be sweet as pie to everyone". They are taught the "precepts of men" and church traditions and so their "hearts", i.e. their minds, have been removed from Him, from the Word of God. Though they say "Lord, Lord" and "Praise the Lord", they are ignorant of the knowledge of His Word!
Yet even so, they are still without excuse of basic understanding because even nature itself teaches that we must go through the night, the appointed time of darkness, before the light begins to dawn! That's right, the night comes first, "And the evening and the morning were the first day". Unfortunately, it seems that most men must first go through a storm before they can appreciate the beautiful sunshine. Nevertheless, that which "seems" grievous, even chastisement, even the chastisement of the great spiritual tribulation of the king of Babylon, shall yield fruit...nay...the peaceable fruit of righteousness...unto them which bore the chastisement. In other words, AFTERWARD many shall learn their lessons and shape up! THAT is a GOOD THING. That is love:Isaiah 29:13
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men.To that end, every one of the prophets of God who have foretold us of the captivity and the tribulations and the famines and the pestilences, etc., etc., to befall our people have also given us the GOOD NEWS of the promise of His salvation and the restoration of His people when the kingdom of God is established upon Mt. Zion. The plan is written! The end has been declared from the beginning!Hebrews 12:11
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.[12] Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees.
Here then is the great prophet Zephaniah's (Hidden of Yah) declaration of the good news for Mt. Zion and the city of Jerusalem, the future seat of the eternal Kingdom of God.
There will be a cleansing in Jerusalem and upon Mt. Zion (Luke 21:6). God will clear out, take away out of the midst of her, the arrogant and the proud, i.e. there will no longer be pride or haughtiness including that abominable one and his cronies standing on God's holy mountain claiming that city is his! Hit the road, jack! The saints are movin' in!Zeph. 3:11
In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.The afflicted ones, God's elect who are delivered up (Mark 13:9-12), shall be blessed indeed, for they shall be established on Mt. Zion. Matthew 5:10 "Blessed are they which are persecuted (afflicted) for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." In other words, the haughty and the proud will be destroyed and cast out of that bloody city and replaced with God's elect, even those who were delivered up and withstood the spiritual onslaught and great affliction. They are the humble, which is what "poor in spirit" means. They are those who grieved, as in lamented, over the sins of the great city! They are those strong Christian soldiers who even now stand up in the face of men, yet are meek before their God in whose POWER they are made strong![12] I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.Yes, the afflicted and the poor, those who "trust in the name of the LORD", shall He leave in the midst of Mt. Zion when He sets up His kingdom.
And they shall reign in that kingdom as kings and priests of the Most High throughout the Millennium: Rev. 5:10 "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." (See also Rev. 20:6.)Matthew 5:3
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.They that mourn for truth and justice to prevail shall be comforted when the King of kings comes and pours out His wrath and executes His justice in all the earth, ridding that seething cauldron, that city of transgression, of all the arrogant and haughty and proud![4] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.Jesus Christ came at His first advent as the Lamb of God to shed His blood and pay the price on the cross and open up salvation to ALL nations and peoples and kindreds and tongues. However, He is coming at His second advent as the mighty King of kings and Lord of lords to subdue all nations and execute justice (avenge righteousness) in the Valley of Jehoshaphat (Joel 3). Both His advents are recorded in Isaiah 61:2, the first half of which Christ read in the temple (Luke 4:17-20) before He closed the book and sat down, for it alone applied to the first advent. The second half of the verse which applies to His second advent shall be fulfilled when He returns on that Great Day of the LORD! Isaiah 61:2 "To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn."
Wow, that is quite an inheritance, isn't it? Romans 8:17 "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."[5] Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.The remnant are God's elect who even now "feed and lie down" in His green pastures (His Word), afraid of nothing and no one! How so? They trust in the Lord their God!Zeph. 3:13
The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.The victory is ours! And as it is written, it shall be a time of great rejoicing when the King of kings returns! The city of our God shall be cleansed and filled with the righteousness of the saints! Sing, rejoice, O daughter of Zion!Psalm 23:1
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.[2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
[3] He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
[4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
[5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
[6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
God's elect who know that the end as been declared from the beginning rejoice with all their heart even now!Zeph. 3:14
Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.The false king, that "Malcham" we read about in chapter one, even Satan as antichrist, shall be cast out when all the "stones" of that idolatrous temple are destroyed on that Great Day when the true King of kings, the King of Israel, even Jesus Christ, returns! You shall NO MORE, from hence forth, see evil in that great city![15] The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, He hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.By the way, do you know where Malcham will be cast? As it is written in Rev. 20:2, Michael shall bind him and place him in the pit during the Millennium and as it is written in Isa. 14, people will walk by and "look upon him narrowly", i.e. look down upon him, and marvel and say "Is this the man who deceived the nations?"
That's right! He is NOT a god! He never was!Isaiah 14:15
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.[16] They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms?
Micah 5:9 "Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off." There shall be nothing to fear because the Mighty King shall be in our midst (next verse)!Zeph. 3:16
In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.Almighty God, the Savior of His people, will rejoice over His children and over the city He so loves. Yes, the LORD God loves to sing! Have you not read that the psalmist David was a man after His own heart (Acts 13:22)?[17]The LORD thy God in the midst of theeis mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in his love, He will joy over thee with singing.At the sound of the 7th Trump He will gather them that are "sorrowful for the solemn assembly", which would better be translated "afflicted for (because of, during) the appointed time", i.e. who suffered the reproach, bore the burden during that season, that final season of the generation of the fig tree![18] I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden."That time" is the subject of this Book of Zephaniah, even that Great Day of the return of the Prince of Peace, the Savior, and the Redeemer of His people who were driven out and scattered among the nations and orphaned and widowed and made lame (halteth)! It shall come to pass through the "wondrous works of God", even after the manner of plagues of Egypt (see Habakkuk), that ALL nations shall come to know that He ALONE is the LORD God, the great "I AM", and there is NONE OTHER! And that holy nation of His people Israel, whom He shall gather upon Mt. Zion, shall once again become a shining light unto ALL the world.[19]Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.What is really exciting about all this is that you and yours of this generation of the fig tree shall witness His glorious return and SEE the restoration of the Kingdom of God upon this earth. As it is written in the next verse, He shall turn back the captivity of our people and He shall do it right "Before Your Eyes"!
Yes, the Great Day of the Lord draws nearer and nearer. What a glorious day that will be for His children who love and serve Him for they shall be "Hidden of Yah", hidden under His wings of protection as the great eagle fluttereth over her young (Deut. 32:11)! In other words, God's wrath will not be poured out on His children who love and serve Him for He is not angry with them. But what a shameful day, a day of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, it will be for His enemies and yes, even for ALL those who follow after the false king, Malcham![20] At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.Where will you be on that great day? The choice is yours! Do not be deceived by Malcham when he arrives at the sound of the 6th Trump. Wait upon the Lord, trust in Him, stay in His Word, eat only from His Green Pasture (His Word) and you shall NEVER be ashamed!Zeph. 1:14
The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.May God richly bless you and strengthen you in His WordJoel 2:26
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.[27] And ye shall know that I AM in the midst of Israel, and that I AM the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
