| | Book of Zephaniah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The superscription of the Book of Zephaniah attributes its authorship to “Zephaniah son of Cushi son of Gedaliah son of Amariah son of Hezekiah, in the days of King Josiah son of Amon of Judah” (1:1, NRSV). | | | The prophetic book of the Bible attributed to Zephaniah occurs ninth among the twelve minor prophets, preceded by Habakkuk and followed by Haggai. | | | Zephaniah also draws upon the emerging idea that Yahweh is quite different from the regional or tribal gods of the surrounding nations. |

| | The superscription identifies the author as Zephaniah ben-Cushi and, indeed, as "Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah" (1:1). | | | The purpose of Zephaniah in writing his book, as already in his preaching, was to bring the people of Judah to repentance (2:1-2) and so, in accord with the efforts of Josiah the King, to a reformation of the life of the nation. | | | Thus, the Book of Zephaniah, in the final form passed down to all ensuing generations, came into existence, in all probability, circa 630 B.C. The occasion was quite possibly the conversion of King Josiah to the One True God with consequent proposals of a national reformation. |

| | Isaiah the prophet, to whom Zephaniah frequently alludes, rebuked the king: "Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD" (2 Kings 20:17). | | | The story of the flood in Genesis, for example, is an extended chiasmus with Genesis 8:1 at the center, bringing into emphasis the main point of the story: God's grace to Noah. | | | The central and most emphatic portion of the book is the call for repentance (2:1-3). |

| | Commentary on The Prophecy of Zephaniah |
| | Zephaniah finishes with the promise of restoration of the people of Israel, which will make them a witness to all the world of God’s power and goodness, for their captivity will be reversed. | | | So the message of Zephaniah is one of judgment that is coming, both in the near future and the far future, and of how God will use it to call out a people for Himself who will be purified through the afflictions they endure, and who in the end will rejoice in His presence. | | | Zephaniah, although speaking of a soon coming event, may well have patterned his description on descriptions of both past prophecies relating to the near future, and those referring directly to the eschatological day of Yahweh (e.g. |

| | The authenticity of every verse in Zephaniah 2 and 3, and of several verses in chapter 1, has been questioned by one or more scholars, but the passages rejected or questioned with greatest persistency are Zephaniah 2:1-15 (especially Zephaniah 2:8-11); Zephaniah 3:9-10, Zephaniah 3:14-20. | | | The name "Zephaniah" (tsephanyah; Sophonias), which is borne by three other men mentioned in the Old Testament, means "Yah hides," or "Yah has hidden" or "treasured." "It suggests," says G. Smith, "the prophet's birth in the killing time of Manasseh" (2 Kings 21:16). | | | The title (Zephaniah 1:1) places the prophetic activity of Zephaniah somewhere within the reign of Josiah, that is, between 639 and 608 BC. |

| | Zephaniah means "hidden of the Lord" and the prophet is speaking as if he were a representative of the remnant of faith---those relatively few people who will remain true to God and be faithful to his word through the time of trouble that is to come upon the earth. | | | And it is about these people that the book of Zephaniah is written, and especially of that coming day, the day of the Lord, which is vividly described by the prophet. | | | Luke tells us that Jesus went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and he was given the book of the prophecy of Isaiah to read. |

| | The name Zephaniah could mean "Yahweh hides", and may thus reflect the terror in the days of Manasseh, at the time of Zephaniah's birth. | | | However, some scholars have noted that the text mentions "the remnant of Baal", in 1:4, which suggests that the reforms had already come, but failed, in that a remnant of Baal worship still persisted. | | | Most scholars prefer a date before Josiah's reform in 621 BC, because Zephaniah spends the book denouncing such syncretistic practices as Baal worship and child sacrifice, which had become more widespread in Israel since Manasseh's reign. |

| | The day of Yahweh notion as found in Amos 5:18-20, Isaiah 2:6-22, and Zephaniah 1:14-2:3 is a prophetic expression signaling the impending destruction of God's own people. | | | Typical of most other Judean prophets, Zephaniah's words cover these three main topics: condemnation of Judah and Jerusalem for religious sins, condemnation of foreign nations (including Philistia, Moab, Ammon, Ethiopia, and Assyria), and promises of salvation for God's people. | | | The people will see clouds and fire, effects that in the past signaled the protective presence of God, but this time God would be active to punish them. |
