The first 39 books of the Bible are called the Old Testament. 12 of those books are called the nor Prophets (because the books are small). Zephaniah is the ninth of the 12.
Zephaniah speaks of the Day of the Lord more than any other prophet; although Joel is a close second. The Jews thought of the Day of the Lord as a time for rejoicing because God would finally judge their enemies.
