Earlier we stated that ancient Nineveh is in ruins today, as prophesied by Nahum. The following is a link that you might find interesting.

Zephaniah is an excellent example of the layering of Biblical prophecies. There is an immediate literal fulfillment of the prophecy, which is symbolic of a future fulfillment of that same prophecy. These prophecies are spread throughout the book of Zephaniah. For example, the judgments of Philistia, Moab, Ammon, Cush, and Assyria were literally fulfilled when the Babylonians invaded the entire area in the 580s BC. The future fulfillment will take place during the wrath of God when God pours out His judgment on these same countries (See Chapters 17- 20 of the book THESE LAST DAYS ). God’s people will then inherit this land during the millennium (See Chapters 21-24 of the book THESE LAST DAYS). It’s ironic (at least from the human point of view) that God uses Ammon and Moab as places of safety for His people during the time of His wrath.

Zeph 2:10
This is what they will get in return for their pride, for insulting and mocking the people of the LORD Almighty.

There is an unbelievable verse in today’s reading.
Zeph 3:17
The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."

Can you even begin to imagine God singing??? Yet Zephaniah tells us that He does! He takes delight in us and rejoices over us. AMAZING!
