The Prophet Zephaniah’s Prayer

In this episode, we will experience and learn about Zephaniah and his prayer. The scriptures and the commentary reminds us that Zephaniah was a minor prophet a contemporary of King Josiah of Judah. His name means “God has hidden.” Zephaniah is used of God to proclaim the approaching divine judgment. The commentary reminds that he warns Israel and the other nations in the area with a burning fire as he purifies them from sin, evil, and violence. He ministers in optimism to those that have carried the burden of reproach they shall become a name and a praise and the people shall not see evil any more. This experience in God causes us to encounter this phenomenal prayer to God and in and through Zephaniah’s prayer, this is how we encounter the divine fact that our God is a warrior who saves and He rejoices over us with shouts of joy!
