Zephaniah 1:2-3

There will come an end to grace when  Jesus returns. There will be a  judgement of those who heard the Word of God and through their actions lived them out. We are the hands and feet of the Almighty and faith without works is dead. Let it not be Lord, that we could be a stumbling block to those who have yet to meet You or to those whose faith is weak.

You alone are the salvation of the world! 

It is Your desire that everyone sees Your mercy and grace on this earth in the form of those who say that they follow You. 

We need to shine the light of Christ on the world… that is why we have been given the privilege of being here and the talents and resources to use for His purposes!

Zephaniah 1:2–3 (NKJV)

² “I will utterly consume everything

From the face of the land,”

Says the Lord;

³ “I will consume man and beast;

I will consume the birds of the heavens,

The fish of the sea,

And the stumbling blocks along with the wicked.

I will cut off man from the face of the land,”

Says the Lord.

The prophet begins this section with a general announcement of worldwide destruction and then announces Judah’s destruction specifically. Faithlife Bible.

The message of Zephaniah begins with a pronouncement of universal judgment. These words not only introduce the particular judgment that would be pronounced upon Judah, but they also speak of the final judgment that will usher in the kingdom of God on earth. Stumbling blocks here refers to idolatry, or substitutes for God in the life and affections of a person. Because there is nothing in the universe that really may be compared to the Creator, God abhors all forms of idolatry. NKJ Bible.
