ZEPHANIAH— THE PROPHET WHO DECLARED GOD’S JUDGMENT AND RESTORATION(Part 1)

(July 09, 2025) Dr Jim McClure shares deep insights regarding the book of Zephaniah…

Have you ever wondered what God is like?

In his book The Knowledge of the Holy the theologian  A.W. Tozer wrote, ‘What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.’ 

That statement is very challenging to us because our perception of God and His values by which we live will have a significant influence on our character and behaviour and consequently on our relationships with others. Clearly, therefore, what we think of God is of great significance.

Another viewpoint was given by C. S. Lewis in his book The Weight of Glory in which he expressed this opinion, ‘How God thinks of us is not only more important, but infinitely more important. Indeed, how we think of Him is of no importance except in so far as it is related to how He thinks of us.’

However, rather than being ‘unimportant’ it is, in fact, a hidden gem but admittedly it can be difficult to follow without knowing the following underlying facts.
