Today’s episode explores the life and prophecies of Zephaniah, a minor prophet in the Old Testament. It begins by introducing Zephaniah, including his unique royal lineage and historical context during the reign of King Josiah. The focus then shifts to Zephaniah's major themes: the Day of the Lord, the importance of repentance, and the hope of salvation for God's faithful people.
