Scripture Focus

2Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD's anger come upon you.

3Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.

Zephaniah 2:2-3

Biblical Context

The verse urges preparation before God's decree and day of anger. It invites the meek to seek the LORD, righteousness, and meekness so they may be hidden in that day.

Neville's Inner Vision

Zephaniah's decree and the day of the LORD are not external events to fear, but inner shifts your consciousness awakens to. The command to seek the LORD, especially the meek of the earth, invites you to turn your whole attention inward to the I AM within. To seek righteousness and meekness is to cultivate a steady state of right relation—integrity and gentle power that does not lash at appearances but presides over them in awareness. When you hear you have wrought His judgment, understand you are simply seeing inner judgments and choosing to revise them. The day of the LORD's anger arises when you forget your unity with God; by remaining in the inner LORD you may be hid from that anger, protected by the state you inhabit. Your imagination creates experience; therefore, adopt the assumption that you are already aligned with the LORD—meek, righteous, and knowing yourself as the I AM. Persist in that conviction until it feels real, and observe how the outer becomes a reflection of the inner.
