Only Hope: Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands.

Zephaniah 2:1-15
Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands.
Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord’s anger.
The land by the sea will become pastures having wells for shepherds and pens for flocks. That land will belong to the remnant of the people of Judah; there they will find pasture. In the evening they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon. The Lord their God will care for them; he will restore their fortunes.
Against Moab and Ammon, Cush and Assyria.
This is the city of revelry that lived in safety. She said to herself,  “I am the one! And there is none besides me.” What a ruin she has become,  a lair for wild beasts! All who pass by her scoff and shake their fists.
The only hope for GOd's people is to seek him and begin living by his standards. If they do not, they will share the fate of the nations around: Philistia to the west: Moab and Ammon to the east: Ethiopia to the south; Assyria to the north.
Why?
God is righteousness, when we do not turn to the Lord, God's wrap pour upon the earth no one can escape.

國民在聖經中指外邦人，稱以色列人為國民，表示他們已經和外邦人一樣。
不要以為主的日子還久，在神的烈怒臨到前趕快悔改。
把握悔改的路。接著講到摩押、亞捫、非立士人都要受到審判，運外邦人都要受審判，何況以色列人。
悔改的人要來審判這些人，即我們未來也要與耶穌來審判世人。審判外邦人，同時也得到外邦人的地士。神所做的所有事都是為神選民的益處。詩篇中：他的慈愛永遠長存
神卻不容許他的百姓過度受審判、受難，太過份在加害神的子女是神所不允許的。
四圍列邦都要受到審判。成為野生動物棲息之地，極荒涼之地。沒有人可以說： 教會沒有我不行的，這是傲慢。

How?
Praise the Lord and seek the Lord, humble myself and obey what the Lord commands.
