One of the most awesome descriptions of the wrath of God in judgment found anywhere in Scripture appears in the opening verses of Zephaniah . The totality of the cosmos shall be consumed in his burning anger . The very order of creation shall be overturned . One of the most moving descriptions of the love of God for his people found anywhere in Scripture appears in the closing verses of Zephaniah . God and his people attain heights in the ecstasy of love that are hard to com- prehend .
