Scripture:

ZEPHANIAH 2:8-3:20, 2 CHRONICLES 35:20-27, 2 KINGS 23:29-30, JEREMIAH 47:1-48:47

Don’t Be Like Them

No one can tell it anything; it refuses all correction. It does not trust in the LORD or draw near to its God.

Zephaniah 3:2

My Takeaways

Something Old

Sin ruptures my fellowship with God.

Correction restores the fellowship.

God doesn’t 

  • Approve sin, no matter who commits the sin.
  • Remove the consequences of sin, no matter how far removed those consequences are from the sin.
  • Rejoice over punishment, and judgement of sin.

All the nations choose sin over God. God made one attempt after another to another to restore the fellowship they broke, but they didn’t:

  • Heed warnings and wisdom.
  • Respond to God’s correction.
  • Trust God.
  • Draw near to God

Something New

But I will restore the fortunes of Moab in days to come. I, the LORD, have spoken!” This is the end of Jeremiah’s prophecy concerning Moab. |
Jeremiah 48:47 

I’ve always wondered about the restoration of Moab, a city that faced such horrible judgement from God because of their treatment of Israel. I’m thankful to have found this from Adam Clarke:

“Perhaps the restoration spoken of here, which was to take place in the latter days, may mean the conversion of these people, in their existing remnants, to the faith of the Gospel. Several judicious interpreters are of this opinion. The Moabites were partially restored; but never, as far as I have been able to learn, to their national consequence. Their conversion to the Christian faith must be the main end designed by this prophecy.” 

Something to do

My something to do is obvious:

  • Heed warnings and wisdom
  • Respond to God’s correction.
  • Trust God.
  • Draw near to God
