Explanation of Zephaniah 2

By Rev. George McCurdy

Chapter Two - Summary of its internal meaning:

With the certainty of judgment at hand, those who have not completely hardened their hearts need to be converted. Why? If the Lord’s warning is not heeded, the evil will perish. Does the Lord want anyone to be destroyed? No. The Lord wants all to be saved. The evil will be the ones who cast themselves out of the Divine sphere. They falsified the knowledges of truth by means of reasoning and knowledge. Those who actively worked to destroy the church will utterly perish.

Some will listen. Some will be converted. The work of the faithful remnant is at hand.
