Prophetic Study

​ A Pure Language
 
Zephaniah 3:8-9
 
Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.
 
The prophet Zephaniah comes forth as a judgment prophet just as the prophet Jeremiah had been. He chooses Zephaniah and states what He is going to do and why. The people have already been warned. The people have been introduced to Jesus Christ. They know the Word. They know the precepts. They have been given the prophetic and the Lord has pleaded with His chosen. He mentions three types of people: those that have turned their back, those who have not sought the Lord, and those who have not inquired of Him. Meaning, those who know the way of holiness and choose to go another way, those who refuse to surrender, repent, and recognize that Jesus is Lord, and those who know to seek but don't want to pray to be kept in these last days to know the will of God for their lives. The Lord is moving by His Spirit. Are you moving by His Spirit? There is an appointed time for all things. The day of the Lord is at hand.
 
The people have gone on their own. They doubt the Lord that He will move in circumstance within their hearts. They assume the Lord will neither do good or evil. Like He will just everyone continue to go on its own and He will not move. The Lord is near and those who were wise in their own and did their own will cry bitterly. The day of the Lord concerning the children of disobedience is a day of wrath and trouble. The Lord said hide yourself in Him. Hide yourself in His Spirit. Hide yourself in his righteousness. Hide yourself in His mercy because you will not be able to stand in the midst of Lord's judgment and His fierce anger.
 
However, to the remnant of His chosen, He says wait. There is turmoil. There is chaos. There are people being pulled to and fro. The adversary is attempting to disrupt effective communication processes. This person misunderstood you and that person misunderstood and all you were trying to do was help. When you have the mind of Christ and move by His Spirit, the Spirit searches the deep things of God, comparing spiritual with spiritual. He says wait on Him for He will gather the nations and His kingdom is everlasting. He will recompense them that trouble His chosen. He will cast out His enemies and He will return to His people a pure language and that the servants of the truth will call upon Him in unity and to serve with one consent. It's no more I can't believe you said that. That came out wrong. You misunderstood what I was trying to say. That's not how I meant that. Oh Lord Jesus help me. They don't get it. I know you sent me but they are not receiving you. He is purifying His body. He has bid His guests he has urged His people to get their life together and put on holiness that their garments are found appropriate when He returns. The Lord says you're not going to be ashamed. His remnant may be afflicted and poor, but His people will put their trust in Him. My remnant will not fear the adversary. They will rejoice in my love. There will be no more reproach. I am the Lord and I am in the midst of thee. I will take away thy judgments. Your sin and your iniquity will I remember no more. #trust #seek #pray #praise
