OF THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET
Z
E P H A N I A H
THIS
prophet is placed last, as he was last in time, of all the minor prophets
before the captivity, and not long before Jeremiah, who lived at the time of
the captivity. He foretels the general destruction of Judah and Jerusalem by
the Chaldeans, and sets their sins in order before them, which had provoked
God to bring their ruin upon them, calls them to repentance, threatens the
neighbouring nations with the like destructions, and gives encouraging
promises of their joyful return out of captivity in due time, which have a
reference to the grace of the gospel. We have, in the first verse, an account
of the prophet and the date of his prophecy, which supersedes our enquiry
concerning them here.
