Zephaniah

Cornelius à Lapide SJ · Biblical Commentary

À Lapide's Zephaniah commentary treats the Day of the Lord oracles — which gave birth to the medieval Dies irae — as the most solemn prophetic proclamation of the Last Judgment in the minor prophets. The daughter of Sion oracle (Zeph. 3:14–17) is read as a direct Advent prophecy of the Annunciation, parallel to Gabriel's greeting.
