|

|
|
is placed last, as he was last in time, of all the minor prophets
|
|||
|
|
before the captivity, and not long before Jeremiah, who lived at
|
|||
|
|
the time of the captivity. He foretels the general destruction of
|
|||
|
|
Judah and Jerusalem by the Chaldeans, and sets their sins in order
|
|||
|
|
before them, which had provoked God to bring their ruin upon them,
|
|||
|
|
calls them to repentance, threatens the neighbouring nations with
|
|||
|
|
the like destructions, and gives encouraging promises of their
|
|||
|
|
joyful return out of captivity in due time, which have a reference
|
|||
|
|
to the grace of the gospel. We have, in the <scripRef id="Zeph.i-p2.2" osisRef="Bible:Zeph.1.1" parsed="|Zeph|1|1|0|0" passage="Zep 1:1">first verse</scripRef>, an account of the prophet and the
|
|||
|
|
date of his prophecy, which supersedes our enquiry concerning them
|
|||
|
|
here.</p>
