Those following the two-year Bible reading plan with me will begin reading the book of Zephaniah tomorrow, December 9. (Link to the Two-Year Bible Reading Plan Bookmarks)

Zephaniah the prophet was a descendant of King Hezekiah of Judah. The beginning of this book takes place when the very young Josiah became king. The previous king allowed much corruption and evil, so this book begins with a prophecy of serious judgement. Other nations would also be included in the judgement of God. The good news was that there would be a remnant who will trust in the name of the Lord. God would rejoice over these people gathering them from the lands where they lived in exile and bring them home. God would give them honor among the nations.
