In Zephaniah 2 we see The North being the most sinister region - for out of the north will come the anti-messiah. For where did Lucifer himself boast that he would sit? Upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. Today north of Israel we have the nations gathering around the Crimea, seeking to control the gas and oil fields of Europe - the key to the EU's very economical survival.
Zeph 2:1 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, O nation without discipline; 2 Before the decree comes forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of vuvh comes upon you, before the Yom of vuvh’s anger comes upon you.
3 Seek vuvh, all you meek of the earth, who have done His mishpat of Torah; seek tzedakah, seek meekness: it may be that you shall be hidden in the Yom of vuvh’s anger.
Oh יהוה how can we be saved from such a universal judgment?
יהוה wants to gather us to guard us and hide us from calamity.
Religion wants to seduce us with tales of flight and fancy – pre tribulation rapture and evasion of biblical reality… where in their mind tomorrow will be just like today.
Isa 56:12 Come, let’s get wine, let’s guzzle strong drink. Tomorrow will be like today, only even better!”
4 For Azah shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up. 5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of Crete! The word of vuvh is against you also; O Kanaan, the land of the Plishtim, I will even destroy you, that there shall be no inhabitant.
If we seek יהוה and repent then we’ll yield 3 fruits:
humility: 1Pe 5:6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of יהוה , so that He may lift you up at the appropriate time. 1Pe 5:7 Cast all your worries on Him, for He cares for you. 1Pe 5:8 Stay alert! Watch out! Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, searching for someone to devour.
obedience: Isaiah 58:2 Yet they seek Me day to day and delight to know My ways, as if they were a nation that did right, and had not forsaken their Elohims commandments. They ask Me for righteous judgments; they delight in the nearness of יהוה.”
righteousness: Matt 22:37 Yahusha spoke these words, Thou shalt love יהוה thy elohim with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the teachings of “Moshe and Zephanyah”.
1 Cor 1;25Because the foolishness of יהוה is wiser than men; and the weakness of יהוה is stronger than men.26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But יהוה hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and יהוה hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath יהוה chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Messiah Yahusha, who of יהוה is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the master.
Matt 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mat 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
v.41: Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
6 And the seacoast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks. 7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of Beit Yahudah; they shall feed there: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for vuvh their Elohim shall visit them, and turn back their captivity.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moav, and the reviling of the children of Ammon, by which they have reproached My people, and magnified themselves against their border.
9 Therefore as I live, says vuvh tzevaoth, the Elohim of Yisrael, Surely Moav shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of weeds, and salt pits, and a waste forever: the remnant of My people shall plunder them, and the remnant of My people shall possess them.
A redeemed remnant priesthood will conquer, reign, and rule over all the sons of Edom, Moab, and Ammon.
Jer 1:14 Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land….4:6 for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Lucifer and his minions plan an evil from the north יהוה has other plans Jer 31:8 speaks of the New Covenant people of יהוה: Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
The gospels confirm it: Lk 13:29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of יהוה .
10 This shall they have in return for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of vuvh tzevaoth.
11 vuvh will be a fright to them: for He will destroy all the melechim of the earth; and men shall worship Him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the seas.
12 Yes Ethiopians also, you too shall be slain by My sword. 13 And He will stretch out His hand against the north, and destroy Ashshur; and will make Ninveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness. 14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the pelican and the owls shall lodge in the upper tops of her columns; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in her gates: for He shall uncover the cedar foundations and lay them bare.
Nineveh attributes the glory of יהוה to herself “and said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me.”
Isa 45:5 I am יהוה, and there is none else, there is no Elohim beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me…18 I am יהוה ; and there is none else…21 no Elohim else beside me; a just Elohim and a Saviour; there is none beside me.22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am Elohim, and there is none else.
15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her lev, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! Everyone that passes by her shall whistle and shake his hand.
יהוה cannot let such a claim go unchallenged! Is Nineveh’s challenge one that we hear echoed in the corridors of power and supremacy today?
…for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. Rev 18:23.
Are these godless socialists that try to sway the tide in their heathen direction any different than that of Nineveh?
Isa 2:12 For the day of יהוה tsâbâ’/of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low…17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and יהוה alone shall be exalted in that day.
