Zephaniah 3:15-17
15 The Lord has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; You shall see [fear] disaster no more. 16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. 17 The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”
15 The Lord has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; You shall see [fear] disaster no more. 16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. 17 The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”
Because God is with and in us who have believed in spirit and in truth, we do not fear the disaster of condemnation or hell any longer. So we can take heart and do valiantly in His gladness and peace through Christ. He does rejoice with singing, as he angels when we are saved from the grip of sin and come to new life in Him. He is the Lord and King over more than just Israel; the promise to Abram is for all nations, and He rejoices over us all.
