Zephaniah....to the future!

Jesus clearly declared after the resurrection of His plan to come back.  He stated that we would not know the day or the hour.  His discourse in (Mattthew 24) about the end times is very instructive.  There are also prophesies about the universal peace He will establish on the earth.  Consider Zephaniah:

Zeph. 3:19     Yes, at that time
    I will deal with all who oppress you.
    I will save the lame and gather the outcasts;
    I will make those who were disgraced
    throughout the earth
    receive praise and fame.
20     At that time I will bring you back,
    yes, at the time I will gather you.
    I will give you fame and praise
    among all the peoples of the earth,
    when I restore your fortunes before your eyes.
    The LORD has spoken.

The Lord has promised to return and restore the fortunes of His people!  Praise God!
