This unveiling could only be seen by the Holy Spirit. Throughout chapter 3 is amazingly deep for the future restoration of believers.
Zeph. 3:4 shows the first period. violence is done to God's law. The second period shows the law God's word but not the Mosaic one. This time the law will not bring the curse of death. Yet look what happens under grace. v.13 they will be faithful to overcome iniquity, nor be liars, or have a deceitful tongue. Under the figure of sheep they will feed on God's word and live in his peace and rest.
Why would this be? For residents of Israel, they will have Jesus right there in their midst. 3:15. In the nations he will be in them by his Spirit. All this good thing will be after what God has determined. ch.3:8 The tribulation period will be God's wrath and indignation. see Dan.11:36 In Deut. 30:3 God has a plan never ending revealed back to Moses time. the nations will either bow or be consumed. Every knee shall bow and tongue confess Jesus Christ is Lord.
Stay with me I will make clear all I wrote soon.
In the triumphal entry Jesus was thought to be coming as king. But he was only going to the cross first. Then he would be king in the future as far as reigning on the throne. He is always the king but not reign on earth just yet. Zeph. 3:15 in that verse will not see evil no more. Anti Christ will be removed.
the captivity is also sins reign in ones life. ch. 3:20 God will gather you and make you a praise and a name among all people of the earth.
Zeph. 3:6 Miss this one? cut off nations and their towers.
Zeph. 3:9 Miss this one? then I will turn to the people a pure language.
Zeph. 3:9 Miss this one? that they all call on the name of the Lord. to serve him with one consent. (in one mind and one accord.) There is a restoration going on here. it calls for all nations. Also Israel.
God hasn't changed, he requires a pure people with a pure language. Tongues. see 3:13.
Gen. 11:4 They said, let us make a tower and a name. Zeph. 3:6
They were to scatter through the earth and had one language. They rebelled with one consent.
2Sam. 22:51 He is the tower of salvation to his king forever.
Look at this-- H3444 salvation-- Heb. Yeshuah. That is in English the tower of Jesus. Remember how Jacob saw a ladder? In Gen. 28:12 the word ladder is really a staircase. You know like the one around the tower of Babel. Did you know the United nations building is in the shape of the tower of Babel? In the USA. (nations) .
I spoke to a Arab and he understood what I was saying in tongues. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is God's way of reuniting the nations to a pure language. Babel was a wicked rebellion. Only can we be united to serve in one accord without division and holding only to the truth of God's word that is where division ends. The end of putting oneself above another must end so as to glorify Jesus only. We owe him everything.
The latter rain includes God feeding by the Holy Spirit and waters the harvest for his sickle to reap us up to heaven. W-h-a-t? Get that gift of Holy Spirit all will be clear. Today is Tuesday, this is for Wednesday service for tomorrow. This is just a outline. much more could be said.
