Just before God promised to “give to peoples the change to a pure language,” he warned: “‘Keep yourselves in expectation of me,’ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘till the day of my rising up to the booty, for my judicial decision is to gather nations, for me to collect together kingdoms, in order to pour out upon them my denunciation, all my burning anger; for by the fire of my zeal all the earth will be devoured.’” —Zephaniah 3:8.
Upravo prije nego što je Bog obećao da će ‘promijeniti narodima jezik u čist jezik’, upozorio je: “ ‘Stoga me očekujte’, riječ je Jehovina, ‘do dana kad ću ustati na plijen, jer je moja sudska odluka da skupim narode, priberem carstva, da izlijem na njih svoju tužbu, sav svoj gorući gnjev; jer će oganj moje revnosti proždrijeti svu zemlju’ ” (Zefanija 3:8, NW).jw2019 jw2019
