Zephaniah  

1:18, 2:3,11 

NIV 

18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the Lord's wrath. In the day of jealousy the whole earth with be consumed, for he will make a sudden end of all who live on the earth.

3 Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, 

you who do what he commmands.  

Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps 

you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord's anger.

11 The Lord will be awesome to them when he destroys 

all the gods of the earth. Distant nations will bow down to him, all of them in their own lands.

OBSERVATIONS

* What the people trusted in will not save them

*The Lord's wrath is sudden and fierce

*Actively seek the Lord- Seek his righteousness 

and humility to be saved

*The people of the earth will be AWE- struck when the Lord easily destroys the objects of their worship and devotion

*People across the world will bow to the Lord, who is God Almighty!

APPLICATION

BE ON GOD'S SIDE- ABANDON WICKEDNESS!!!
