Zephaniah 1:14 is an interesting verse and much more than it appears in our Bibles. You see it reads in our bibles, “The great day of the Lord is near; it is near and hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter; there the mighty men shall cry out.”
Ah but see some Hebrew scholars have notes that the phrase “there the mighty men shall cry out,” can be rendered more accurately “The mighty man is the Nazarene,” and it is this interpretation that has caused many to believe that this is a Messianic prophecy spoken of in Matthew 2:23, where we are told that Jesus “dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.”
Yes there is noise in the day but let’s call out to the ONE known as the Nazarene!!
