"Before 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.
Seek 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
The chapter before this was talking about destruction and burning, and so I really liked turning the page to find this... a good warning about how to possibly avoid some of the doom predicted in the last days, which I think comes down to being part of the solution rather then being part of the problem, right? If we do the Lord's work and seek the good in the world, promote good and help others, rather than seeking to get ahead by stepping on other people or similar strategies, then "it may be" that we will be hid when God makes an end to the evil. ... But if not, even if we die tragically, let's remember that God still and always has a happy ending in store for us, and everyone that is willing to seek him and to be the good in the world. Death is no permanent ending for us, and God always keeps his promises. We just need to work on keeping ours, and helping to make the world a better place.
