043. III. The Song Of Zion Redeemed (3:14-20)

III THE SONG OF ZION REDEEMED (Zephaniah 3:14-20)

Jehovah’s protecting presence with Zion (Zephaniah 3:14-15). [Sing and shout aloud for joy, O Jerusalem. Your judgments are over, your foes defeated; Jehovah, your king, is in your midst; all your troubles are at an end.

Removes all fear (Zephaniah 3:16-17). In that day Jerusalem will have no cause for fear or despondency, for Jehovah, who dwells in Zion, is mighty to deliver her out of every trouble. He will rejoice over every chance to show his love and happiness.

Restoration and glorification for the Hebrew race (Zephaniah 3:18;Zephaniah 3:20). “At that time,” Jehovah promises, “I will gather together the Israelites now dispersed among the nations, who are longing for the sanctuary and for the sacred feasts. I will then do all that I have ever promised. I will heal and restore my afflicted ones, and will make them respected and renowned wherever they have been humiliated.”]
