KEY VERSE: The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen – Zephaniah 2:11
TEXT: Zephaniah 2:7-15 (KJV)
7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the Lord their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
9 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
10 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the Lord of hosts.
11 The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.
12 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh 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 cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds; for he shall uncover the cedar work.
15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
In the 19th century, cannibalistic tribes in the Pacific region worshipped cruel gods, offering human sacrifices. When missionary John Hunt arrived, he faced extreme danger. Yet, the chief of the tribe turned to Christ in 1854, renouncing his old gods. Soon, entire villages burned their idols and embraced Christianity, leading to a national revival.

Zephaniah foretold in this passage, that even “the isles of the heathen” would worship God. The specific transformation of the Pacific island proves that no culture is beyond God’s reach—He famishes false gods and establishes true worship. Over time, the gospel has faced fierce opposition in many nations and communities in the world. History has, however, recorded that time and time again, beyond the Bible stories like the encounter between Israel’s Ark of God and the Philistines’ Dagon, Prophet Elijah and the worshippers of Baal, idols and the gods of this world will continue to fall before the Almighty God, to buttress the efficacy of the gospel message.
Israel had suffered cruel persecutions from heathen nations as a result of their continual disobedience to God. They had been made to pass under the rods of the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Medo-Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans. And of late, antiSemitic sentiments have rocked the world so much with dire consequences. The idolatrous nations have continued to claim their triumph over the elect of God. Some even boast of overrunning the lifesaving and everlasting gospel. But God has always proved them wrong as He remains the only true God. His Church has remained firmly built upon the Rock that is Christ, which no gate of hell has neither the audacity nor capacity to conquer.

The people of God must rejoice and march on confidently knowing that God will yet glorify Himself in His faithful and forthright children who will not cave in at the aggression of opposers of their faith in the true and the living God. The enemies of God will bow to the majesty of the Almighty. And in the regeneration, the ferocious biters today will be bitten by the just retribution of the Omnipotent.
THOUGHT OF THE DAY
Rejoice! The Church militant will be the Church triumphant!

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
