If there is any doubt that universal and complete disaster will sweep across the entire world because of sin, if there is any doubt that the "end of the world" will one day come upon us, the book of Zephaniah should remove that doubt. No one will escape, not even one, except those who repent and follow God. We know from the clear teaching of the New Testament that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (see Romans 8:1). This is because our condemnation has already been transferred to Jesus when he died in our place. But all those who are not sheltered in Jesus will know the fury of God's wrath when the world as we know it comes to an end.
