Zephaniah reveals that this judgment is sent by Elohim with His intent to bring correction so that His people might turn and repent and have a reverential fear of Him. (Zephaniah 3:8)
In doing so, it is His express desire that they would seek His Face and receive instruction as did King Hezekiah. He is calling forth a faithful remnant to speak with purity and honesty and to speak act on His Behalf to bring forth with clean hands His Plans to build His Kingdom.
