What does Zephaniah teach about God's judgment?

Answered in 1 source

Zephaniah reveals that God's judgment is certain and serves both to expose sin and to lead the elect to His mercy (Zephaniah 1:2-6).

The book of Zephaniah emphasizes the inevitability of God's judgment upon sin and rebellion against Him. In Zephaniah 1:2-6, the prophet announces God's purposes to destroy the earth and cleanse His people by exposing their guilt. This judgment is not arbitrary; rather, it functions as a means to bring awareness of sin and a resulting need for God's mercy. For the elect, this leads to a deep reliance on Christ's sacrifice as their source of salvation amidst the wrath to come. God's judgment ultimately serves to highlight His unchanging love and grace for those He has chosen.
