Jesus Christ restores a pure language to reconcile us to God to make us His people.

“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” Zephaniah 3:9

The language spoken by the Israelites before the coming of our lord Jesus Christ was impure. It was impure because they were not able to talk about Jesus Christ as the atonement for sin and the way to reconcile with God. The Jewish people felt they had an exclusive right to access God and no one else in all the world had that right. The Israelites considered themselves to be God’s people and everyone else were Gentiles and rejected by God. That language was impure and caused many divisions and discord. When Jesus Christ came, He made it possible for anyone to be become a child of God by calling on the name of the Lord through Jesus Christ for the remission of sin.

The pure language communicates the “scarlet cord” in the Old Testament to point to Jesus Christ. In fact, Moses is referred to as choosing the reproach of Christ instead of living as the grandson of the Pharoah, as quoted, “By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.” Hebrew 11:24-26

The pure language is to communicate that a Jewish person is within the heart and not based on being biologically born as a Jew, as quoted, “For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.” Romans 2:28-29

The pure language acknowledges the Gospel of Jesus Christ within the Old Testament, as was preached to Abraham as quoted, “Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” Galatians 3:7-8 

The pure language puts every person on the same level in that we all need to reconcile to God through Jesus Christ by the remission of sin. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers, the daughter of My dispersed ones, shall bring My offering. In that day you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds in which you transgress against Me; For then I will take away from your midst those who rejoice in your pride, and you shall no longer be haughty in My holy mountain.” Zephaniah 3:10-11

Every person in the world is now able to bring their offering to God by living for Jesus Christ and making Him Lord and Savior of our life. He did not come to make us live a life of shame. Jesus came to bring mercy, grace, life, and Salvation not to condemn, “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:17 Jesus came to give us a humble heart so that we are not exalted in egocentric attitudes. Those who reject the Spirit of the Dove and refuse to be considered as sheep led by the Good Shepherd (Jesus Christ) will be taken away and not have eternal life in the New Jerusalem.

 The population of the global culture are anything but meek and humble as in their spirit and attitude they boast, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with Him?” Revelation 13:4 They live for the thing giving them what to feel, think, do and say as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through the masses in every city around the world. They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. It replaces the human conscience as the traits of psychopathy flood the world. People become egocentric to empower and exalt themselves above God. They feel no remorse and no need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. They oppose, ridicule, and manipulate the presence of the Holy Spirit as they detest the life of Holiness. The world fills with anti-social activity, with no empathy for others within their superficial charm.

“I will leave in your midst a meek and humble people, and they shall trust in the name of the Lord. The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness and speak no lies, nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; For they shall feed their flocks and lie down, and no one shall make them afraid.” Zephaniah 3:12-13

Anyone who comes to God through Jesus Christ are the meek and humble people who are the remnant who remains faithful to the testimony of Jesus in a world filled with psychopathy. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13 

We speak the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, live in the truth of God the Creator, and we welcome the truth of the Holy Spirit to live and speak through us. We feed one another with the mercy, grace, Salvation and life given to us by God through Jesus Christ, and we are given peace, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27
