"I will restore to the peoples a pure language"

Text: Zephaniah 3:9

FUTURE HOPE OF RESTORATION

Mercifully, God also revealed His future plans of restoration. Judgment is not all that God has planned. There is yet hope!

“For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language,
That they all may call on the name of the LORD,
To serve Him with one accord.”
