Zephaniah
"I will stretch out My hand against Judah"
Text: Zephaniah 1:4
THE FIRST JUDGMENT
The first word of judgment was directed against Jerusalem, Judah! This word had to be carefully understood in the context of the reign of Josiah.
“I will stretch out My hand against Judah,
And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
I will cut off every trace of Baal from this place,
The names of the idolatrous priests with the pagan priests-”
Zephaniah 1:4
