Zephaniah 1:15-16

The time is coming, yeah nigh, the end of God’s grace and mercy extended  to man through Christ Jesus….seek Him while He still can be found. Pride and our trust in our own abilities can be the biggest stumbling stones we use to keep God out of our life. We need to humble ourselves under His hand and maybe, just maybe, we can be hidden in the troubles to come upon the earth.

The references to fortified cities and high towers speak of the extent of God’s judgment. There would be no adequate defense against the Lord’s searing judgments.

Zephaniah 1:15-16

15 That day is a day of wrath,

 A day of trouble and distress,

 A day of devastation and desolation,

 A day of darkness and gloominess,

 A day of clouds and thick darkness,

16 A day of trumpet and alarm

 Against the fortified cities

 And against the high towers.
