TEXT: Zephaniah 1:10-18 (KJV)
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil.
13 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
14 The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
It has been said that “Indifferent people cannot build a different world.” If you remain neutral, showing no interest in intervening for the good of your environment, you risk the grave danger of having others make unpleasant decisions for you. If we want societal changes, we must participate in collective efforts to effect the reforms we seek. Otherwise, external forces would impose on us what we do not bargain for.
God frowned at such an indifferent attitude among the inhabitants of Jerusalem during the ministry of Zephaniah some 630 years before the coming of Jesus Christ. They not only charged the Lord with indifference (“The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil,” they said), but they also slid into a life of ease after amassing silver and gold. They built houses and planted vineyards that gave them wine. They worshipped their wealth and became deaf to the call for righteousness. They were neither here nor there in spiritual matters, unaware that divine judgment was around the corner, as prophesied by Zephaniah.
Our generation has not learned from the mistakes of the people of Jerusalem. Men and women in their millions still go about with little or no concern about the warnings given by preachers of the gospel that the end is near when God will fulfill His promise, “And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity, and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible” (Isaiah 13:11).
Man’s apathy cannot in any way alter God’s resolve to punish sin, and should not stop us from our evangelistic mandate. Instead, we are to lovingly warn the middle-of-the-road people that the wages of their indifference is death. They cannot avoid being hit when the mighty hurricane of God’s swift judgment sweeps across the world.
