In the old 'All prophecies' thread I only posted verses dealing with end times, however, I approached Zephaniah differently because the book is short and the prophecies of end times are woven in with judgements against Israel and the nations prior to end times.
Here's a review of those posts:
Thread: All prophecies the bible says will happen in End Times are happening or close to being completed at present (Page 29) (and earlier pages)
I left off at Zephaniah with an outline chapter 3 , and verse 3:10:
Chapter 3
vv. 1-5
— Judgment on Jerusalem. Judgment is in ratio to her
privilege.
vv. 6-8
— Judgment on all nations — this is Armageddon, which
ends with the return of Christ to the earth.
III. Judgments removed; kingdom established,
Chapter 3:9-20
v. 9
— This does not mean there will be one language for the
entire world, although there may be only one language — perhaps the language on the other side of the Tower of Babel. The thought here is “pure” in the sense of the removal of the filthy, profane, and nasty
language. The “four letter words” will disappear.
vv. 10-12
— These are kingdom conditions.
vv. 13-16
— The remnant of Israel enters the kingdom. Their
attitude and speech are changed. Fear is removed. The Lord Jesus Christ reigns over them personally. This refers to the second coming of Christ.
v. 17
— This verse is the key of the book. This is the white light
in a black background. The purpose of judgment is not vindictive, but to cleanse and purify in order that blessing and goodness might ensue from the ordeal. (See author’s booklet, “The Dark Side of Love.”)
vv. 18-20
— This describes kingdom conditions.

Zephaniah 3:10 "From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, [even] the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering."
Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God"; that is, in prayer: and these are the sons and daughters of the Almighty, who are scattered abroad in the several parts of the world, and among the rest here; but as they are gathered together by Christ in redemption, so they are found out and reached by efficacious grace in calling, whether Jews or Gentiles.
Some think the Jews are here meant, even the elect of God among them, who were dispersed in several nations, and particularly in Egypt and Ethiopia; who were met with by the Gospel, and converted in the first times of it; to these Peter and James direct their epistles: and of whom, being called by grace, it is said, they: shall bring mine offering........
Revelation 15:4 "Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name?
for [thou] only [art] holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest."
