From the Pulpit...

Our teacher continues explaining the text in Zephaniah 3. A judgment of great proportions will come up on the nation at the appointed time. This judgment was caused by the poor choices of the people of Israel. We gladly arrive at the section that speaks of Israel's restoration. The first item that God will restore to them is a pure language. This does not refer to Hebrew or Greek or the reversal of Babel; it refers to how they use their language, and more to the point, how their heart is constituted so that its abundance will speak out in a holy manner. See Isaiah 6.
