Commentary on Zephaniah 2:7

Theological / Devotional

Coast. This will be given to the “remnant” of Judah when they return to their land (see Obadiah 17-20).

Visit. Here the purpose of God’s “visit” is for good and blessing (see on Ps. 8:4 ; 59:5). The prophet expresses a firm confidence that his people will be restored from the Babylonian captivity, and evidently considers the overthrow of Philistia as preparatory to that event.
