Bible Study, Zephaniah

In this study Mr. Smith continues his Bible study series on the minor prophets by looking at the book of Zephaniah. This book is similar to the book of Joel with its main focus being on the future day of the lord. Zephaniah explains who will be punished in the day of the Lord and why. He also tells us how to escape this punishment and then ends his book with a very encouraging message that shows what the world will be like afterwards as a result of the Day of the Lord.
