    Announcement of Total Judgement

    "God is angry. Everyone is so wicked that He vows to totally destroy the earth. The mention of man and beast, birds and fish, etc. emphasize how thorough the destruction will be. It will be like in the days of Noah. Notice that this is the reversal of creation. The order of creation was fish, birds, beasts and man. Here we have the opposite order"("Bible.org").

    Judgement on Idolators in Judah

    "Q: In Zeph 1:4, why did God cut off the worship of Baal?
    A: The Lord despises the worship of idol gods. Since this is the case, it does not make much sense for believers to have any idols in their homes" ("Bible Query from Zephaniah").

    The inescapable day of the Lord's wrath

    The day of the lord's wrath has finally arrived and the Lord will show no mercy: "I will bring distress on men so that they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the Lord; and their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung" (Zeph 1:17).

    God's Judgement on the nations

    Now the Lord is going to do the same sort of judgement with the enemies of Judah: "Gather yourselves together, yes, gather, O nation without shame...Seek the lord all you humble of the earth who have carried out his ordinances; seek rightousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden in the day of the Lord's anger" (Zeph 2:1-3).

    Redemption of the Remnant

    After all of the hardships God wants to rejoice with his people: "The word picture in Zephaniah 3:17 is full of emotion. God the Father is the One who holds His daughter Jerusalem and sings joyfully in her presence. Just as a loving parent cradles a child and sings out of love, so God’s song over His people is born of His great love. After a time of hardship, our loving Lord dries His people’s tears, comforts their hearts, and welcomes them to a new world"("gotquestions.org").
