Guiding Questions: Zephaniah 2

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. What might be done in order to avoid “God’s wrath”?
  2. According to Zephaniah 2:4 what will become of Philistia?
  3. And, in Zephaniah 2:5 who are the “cretim”?
  4. Will the “sea peoples” escape “God’s wrath”?
  5. According to Zephaniah 2:8-9 why will Moav and Amon be destroyed?
  6. In Zephaniah 2:9 reference is made to “God’s nation”; to which group is this reference?
  7. As to Assyria, the major imperium, what is to become of it (Zephaniah 2:13)?
  8. How does Zephaniah 2:15, in some respects (especially its conclusion) recall the kinot of Tisha B’Av, albeit it does not refer either to Israel or Judea?
