Daily Reflection - 12 December - Zephaniah 2:1-7

Jude Sat Sep 07, 2019 2:41 am

1Gather together, gather together, O nation without shame,

2before the decree is born – the day shall pass on like chaff – before the burning wrath of יהוה comes upon you, before the day of wrath of יהוה comes upon you!

3Seek יהוה, all you meek ones of the earth, who have done His right-ruling. Seek righteousness, seek meekness, if so be that you are hidden in the day of wrath of יהוה.

4For Azzah is abandoned and Ashqelon laid waste, Ashdoḏ is driven out at noonday and Eqron is uprooted.

5Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, the nation of the Kerĕthites! The word of יהוה is against you, O Kena‛an, land of the Philistines, “And I shall destroy you, so that there is no inhabitant.”

6And the seacoast shall be pastures, shepherds’ meadows and enclosures for flocks.

7And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Yehuḏah. They shall feed their flocks on it, at evening they lie down in the houses of Ashqelon. For יהוה their Elohim shall visit them and turn back their captivity. ZEPHANIAH 2:1-7 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR

1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;

2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord's anger come upon you.

3 Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord's anger.

4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.

5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the Lord is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.

6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.

7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the Lord their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity. ZEPHANIAH 2:1-7 King James Version - KJV

1 Gather yourselves, even gather you, O nation not worthy to be loved,

2 Before the decree come forth, and ye be as chaff that passeth in a day, and before the fierce wrath of the Lord come upon you, and before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you.

3 Seek ye the Lord all the meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment: seek righteousness, seek lowliness, if so be that ye may be hid in the day of the Lord’s wrath.

4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon desolate: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.

5 [Woe] unto the inhabitants of the sea coast. the nation of the Cherethims, the word of the Lord is against you: O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee without an inhabitant.

6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds and sheepfolds.

7 And that coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah, to feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they judge toward night: for the Lord their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity. ZEPHANIAH 2:1-7 Geneva Bible 1599 – GNV

May Yah bless and keep you ALL safely abiding under the Shadows of His Mighty Wings. If you have not yet repented, I ask that you repent immediately. Turn to our Heavenly Father through His Beloved Son Yahusha Messiah (Jesus Christ). Please consider doing this immediately, for as we know the world is soon coming to a close. It is during this time that we will need Yah's full divine protection for what is to be unveiled. I believe that it was through obedience that Noah had such great faith; this in essence was what saved him and his family from the flood. As a follower of the Holy Messiah (born again Believer; a former Roman Catholic of 46+ years) there is so much to gain in doing so. My soul is richly blessed by the gems of truth revealed to me by my beloved Heavenly Father, Abba, and I have no regrets repenting of my past ways. Blessings! ~ Judy Velez

THE PSALMS

1Elohim is our refuge and strength, A help in distress, soon found.

2Therefore we do not fear, Though the earth reels And mountains topple into the heart of the seas.

3Let its waters rage, foam; Let mountains shake with its swelling. Selah.

4A river whose streams Make glad the city of Elohim, The set-apart dwelling of the Most High.

5Elohim is in her midst, she does not topple; Elohim does help her when morning turns.

6The gentiles shall rage, Reigns shall topple; He shall give forth His voice, The earth melts.

7יהוה of hosts is with us; The Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ is our refuge. Selah.

8Come, see the works of יהוה, The ruins He has wrought on the earth,

9Causing all fighting to cease, Unto the end of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the chariot with fire.

10Be still, and know that I am Elohim; I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth!

11יהוה of hosts is with us; The Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ is our refuge. Selah. PSALM 46 Institute for Scripture Research – ISR
