Discuss Zephaniah 3 Page 2

For then I will change the language of the peoples to a pure language, So that all of them may call on the name of Jehovah, To serve him shoulder to shoulder.’

Religion was never meant to be divided. There is one God, and he intended for us to worship him in ONE accord, one language, so that all people on this earth can serve "Shoulder to Shoulder".

Irene, I read the whole chapter,V16"slew all the children,from 2yrs.old and younger"Why do you think"and younger"is there?No where does this verse say he was 2.If scripture doesn't say he was 2,neither should you.( Proverbs 30:6, Tim.3:16, , 2 Peter 1:20, Zephaniah 3:20.
Rebuke from a friend is better than a kiss from an enemy. I contend for God's truth.

Verse 17 The Lord will joy over us with singing - wow wow and another wow

V. 9 (last half) - "..... that they may call upon the Name of the Lord, to serve Him with ONE consent." Acts 2:38; Acts 7:59 (and saying, Lord JESUS.....). Stephen called GOD - Jesus; just as Thomas did in Jn.28:20 - my LORD and my GOD; he said this to - Jesus. He was a Jew, just like Jesus; Jews did NOT believe in plural gods. Nor did Jesus rebuke Thomas.

PARADOX. REJOICE AND BE GLAD OH ZION FOR THY REDEMTION DRAWETH NEIGH UNTO THEE ! GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY YAHWEH IN AND THROUGH HIS SON WHO LIVES AND REIGNS NOW AND FOREVER MORE AT HIS RIGHT HAND CHRIST YESHUA JESUS GLORY AMEN AND AMEN INDEED ! ELIJAH IS NEIGH UNTO THEE GLORY TO GOD AMEN ! SHALOM ! SHALOM ! SHALOM ZION AMEN AND AMEN INDEED !

Very enlightened, truth I always knew we were part of Israel. HALLELUJAH! Nina.

Zephaniah 3 v 20 is a powerful verse that God is an unchangeable changer,that whatever unpleasant situation is around us,God will turn to testimonies without delay

Man says that the ten tribes are lost,but the bible says that they are beyond the rivers of Ethiopia. They are in Africa,plain and simple. Zephaniah 3 : 10. Isaiah 11: 11 . I thank GOD for telling us where the true Israelites are HALLELUYAH aLSO Isaiah 11 : 12 says Juda is dispersed to the four corners of the earth. The bible tells us where all twelve tribes are.

17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Wow! Rejoice means spinning, jumping, dancing. God rejoices over us. He sings over us, He dances over us. Not only that he quiets us in His Love. God really does love us.

Nataleigh - another commentary explains it like this: The Sun of Righteousness is Jesus Christ and it is in reference to the millenial reign of Christ after the anti-christ has been done away with. In Jeremiah he references Jesus as our Righteousness and in other passages Jesus is referred to as our sunrise.

God’s desire has always been to provide righteousness to those who trust Him (e.g., Genesis 15:6). On some occasions, God’s people were said to be “clothed in righteousness” ( Job 29:14; Psalm 132:9; Isaiah 61:10), and here in Malachi 4:2 God’s people will see the Sun of Righteousness Himself rising over the world. It’s a picture of the future millennial reign of Jesus Christ. The darkness of the Antichrist’s reign will vanish, and the light of God will take its place. It’s a new day dawning; God’s people will revel in their freedom like gamboling calves leaping from their stalls ( Isaiah 65:17-25; Hosea 14:4-7; Amos 9:13-15; Zephaniah 3:19-20).

I hope this helps some. Good question though as it invokes one to research the phrase and hence we all learn from it.

In 70AD when the Southern Kingom of Israel was forced out of Israel, they fled into Cush (what is moden day East, South and Central Africa) This entire land was the Land of Ethiopia - look up old maps of the continent. Way before Africanus named the land Africa it was CUSH & EGYPT. However these ISraelites fled and have since then been nourished and continue to live in Africa, and it is pretty clear that the Most High will himself bring these Israelites back to their homeland. This was previously the land of the Hamites and it will be given back to the Hamites as scripture tells us. Remember though that this is not just spiritual - it is a fact. The Israelites disobeyed God's laws and he punished them by sending them off to Captivity,losing their identiy (hence being called the lost sheep) and being tredded upon and being called all sorts of names as the prophets prohesied. In the end times, the Most High will redeem them when they start to turn back to him.(Imagine this! All this time I thought the Jews were white) The Twelve tribes of Israel are waking up and are scattered through out the whole earth ...I am reading scripture more and more these days to find out the fulfilment of these Prophecies.

Not Jews, but the Israelites, the daughters of Ethiopia is where you will locate her, beyond the rivers, Nile, his daughters, dispersed throughout the entire world. So misused and abused, she is still seeking the Father of Heavens, her arms are out to him, even today!

If God has a name then why do some bibles choose to leave it out?

We are living in this sinful world and that men just do what they want. The Lord is not happy about it. He will clean up this world with fire and He will establish a new earth gathering both the remnants and the outcasts of Israel and Jesus will be the good shepherd. Praise His Holy Name. Thank you Jesus for Your death and we may have eternal life.

I strongly believed that those who obediently serve their God, He will not despise. The Almighty God Loves those who hear His word and take His warning seriously. God is God, What He said He will do, that is what He will do. So as many who taught that there is no God, they deceive themselves and I count them as fools.

This is exciting indeed but our call to righteousness is now, it is not something that is coming in the future. halleluYAH!!!

The LORD will restore a pure language, so that the people will call on the LORD with one consent. Praise God no more problems with interpretation because of all the translations. Jesus will rejoice over Israel with singing, and the poor, as well as the afflicted will put their trust in the LORD. The Messiah will bring justice to the nations, and ever lasting righteousness.

His name is Yahuah

His son's name is Yahusha (Yahua yesha, Yahuah saves)

So, Jesus is the servant son of the almighty and did only do his fathers will and work. God was in his son and reconciled the world unto himself.

Salvation is of the father, done through his son J.C. (Yahusha ha Machiach) whom god made both His Anointed and Lord.

Thanks

This is so exciting. Not only will the Lord do no iniquity, the one who has God in its midst will also not be able to do unrighteousness.This means that we shall be able do do things right and also do right things at all times. halleluyah!!!
