Summary: Zephaniah preached during a time of religious revival in Judah. But the religious zeal was shallow and inconsistent. The people had rid their homes of idols, but had not done the same in their hearts. Zephaniah warned them that God did not take sin lightly and would punish those who practiced sin.
