西番雅書1:7-9

1:7 你要在主耶和華面前靜默無聲，因為耶和華的日子快到。耶和華已經預備祭物，將他的客分別為聖。

1:8 到了我─耶和華獻祭的日子，必懲罰首領和王子，並一切穿外邦衣服的。

1:9 到那日，我必懲罰一切跳過門檻、將強暴和詭詐得來之物充滿主人房屋的。

Be silent before the Lord God!

For the day of the Lord is near;

the Lord has prepared a sacrifice

and consecrated his guests.

  And on the day of the Lord's sacrifice—

“I will punish the officials and the king's sons

and all who array themselves in foreign attire.

  On that day I will punish

everyone who leaps over the threshold,

and those who fill their master's house

with violence and fraud.

    在西番雅書中最重要的一個詞就「耶和華的日子」，這是指耶和華審判的時候！正如基督徒等候「耶穌再來」，可以完全得贖的日子！

    對於世人耶穌基督的再來猶如世界末日，但對基督徒而言卻是榮耀的日子，因為在那一天上帝要讓我們與基督一同做王！
