Zephaniah | Chapter 3:1-7 Pt. I ~ Episode 977:
The Lord has repeatedly been talking; to give opportunity to submit to His Lordship, and enter into Covenant Relationship with Him. He does address the issue; lovingly and directly: You were rebellious and you were oppressing people; but turn, obey His voice, receive correction, put your trust in Him, and draw near to God. The articulation of what they were doing wrong is just an exposure of what was happening in their private lives, or how they were carrying themselves. And the Lord is still just saying turn and repent.
