Zephaniah 2:11 (ESV Strong's)
The Lord will be awesome against them;
for he will famish all the gods of the earth,
and to him shall bow down,
each in its place,
all the lands of the nations.
God Will Famish All gods!!
These words of Zephaniah are so awesome to read. In a world that believes it has NO God and believes it can make up its own rules and laws, these words bring comfort and calm to those who believe in Him. “The Lord is awesome against them,” is Zephaniah’s message for his brothers. Judah was part of the idolatry in the world during this time, but there was a remnant of believers (chapter three) that God would bring out. God will establish His Kingdom under Christ’s rule based upon Christ’s work. In the establishment of a kingdom God will “famish” the gods of the world. Earlier the prophet told us one of those gods God will famish:
Zephaniah 1:18 (ESV Strong's)
Neither their silver nor their gold
shall be able to deliver them
on the day of the wrath of the Lord.
In the fire of his jealousy,
all the earth shall be consumed;
for a full and sudden end
he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.
The world banks on its money and power and might and God will have none of that. Our country takes great pride in our successes. But, God will bring it down because of the idolatry in our lives today. He will save a remnant of believers, but He will famish all another gods.
