Unlocking the Old Testament Part 55 - Zephaniah

David Pawson says that Zephaniah was a descendant of the last good king, but now, after evil kings, there was a boy king on the throne, Josiah. What kind of king would he become? The whole nation was in chaos, having had bad examples on the throne, and God sent Zephaniah as his prophet. His job was to try to pull the nation of Judah back to God before He would have to exile them as He had the northern 10 tribes already. Zephaniah warns the people of Judah and also the lands around them that there is coming a Day of the Lord when accounts must be settled, but there is time to repent and deflect punishment. Interestingly, God had brought the Philistines to Canaan at the same time as he had brought his chosen people - as an instrument of discipline for his people. David says it’s much better to have the discipline of our Father God now than to reap eternal punishment. Zephaniah is letting the people know that the choice between God’s justice and his mercy is theirs. God’s last word was always to choose his mercy. For all Zephaniah’s and good King Josiah’s efforts, the people wouldn’t listen.
David also has a book on this series find out more here: www.davidpawson.co.uk/search/...

    Thank you very much for sharing Dr. David Pawson’s series UNLOCKING THE BIBLE, his teaching is so profound! I can’t get enough and will continue to watch all the series because It taught me a lot of things about the Prophets’ role and character, the books, every chapters and history in the Old Testaments. Its overwhelming to know God’s provision, plans. compassion, love, faithfulness, mercy and justice to all mankind from the past, present and future. As the bible says… Isaiah 46: 9- 10 👉 Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’ Thanks again and may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all. 🙏🏻✝️💟🌹

    I've started from Genesis and have learned so much. The only thing is that I wish the publisher has published the series according to the order of Mr Pawson"s teachings, rather than the order of the Bible, because the teachings are in chronological order and set out the historical background of each book. It makes a lot more sense to follow the order of the teaching.

    I'm so glad that I listened to this to end my celebration of the Luni-solar calendar sabbath today. To hear David Pawson sing is a warm burst in my heart. To hear the slightly out of tune voice of my grandmother and to feel the vibration of her chest as I rest my head there in her arms. The love of many are waxing cold...still the Christ is the same yesterday today and forever. Christ Jesus, Yahusha Hamashiach, Yeshua, Emmanuel, Misindisi because a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet. 💙🌹💙 Big shout out for Andrew Murray's books Humility and Like Christ and Absolute Surrender. Pearls in a sea of misdirections. The dying to self and letting Him live through us is the true narrow path. May the most High, the creator of all things, So nini na nini, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob bless the truth seekers and the sabbath keepers. And the word became flesh...🙏💜🙏💜🙏

    I am loving David’s teachings One correction I might add is that he said in the first 2 minutes of this teaching that Hezekiah was the last good king of Judah. That is incorrect*: Josiah was the last good king of Judah (3 kings after Hezekiah) - see 2 Kings 23:25 “Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, nor did any like him arise after him.” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭23‬:‭25‬ ‭ESV‬‬ *unless David meant that until the time of Zephaniah (& the good king Josiah) , the last good king they had was Hezekiah. They had subsequently experienced 55 horrible years under the reign of Manasseh, and 2 years under the evil king Amon.

    😂😂 He said "He came to Jesus and his troubles began"................ that was 1947 when he was 17. He experienced baptism in the Holy Spirit much later in 1964 and .....and His troubles got worse .....and "in the last 5 years things got even more difficult " That was from 1990 - 1995 These videos were recorded in 1995 some 40 years after David got baptised/filled with the Holy Spirit for the very first time He was/is an incredible man of God

    And because of this CRITICAL ROLE GOD has established, its VERY IMPORTANT that the conflict is not aggravated for political gains, its needs to be a TRUE GAUGE not a FALSE REPORT! That's why it's very important to establish some level of Peace with each other so it can be communicated when a Political Conflict is occurring or if it's a REAL WARNING from God! Its not something to play with for political, religious or monetary gains
