Zephaniah is a book of the Bible that is seldom read. However, God gave Zephaniah insight on what will happen when the day of the LORD is near.

The word of the Lord which came to Zephaniah 1:14 -19

The great day of the Lord is near; (the Lord has spoken). It is near and hastens quickly (quicker than we think). The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter; (a resentful, angry feeling towards God's word) There the mighty men shall cry out. (power comes from God not our own arrogance, experience, or strength.
 
That day is a day of wrath, (righteous judgment).A day of trouble and distress, (everyone who does evil will suffer trouble and distress). A day of devastation and desolation, (infrastructure destroyed and people dying young). A day of darkness and gloominess, (mental illness and anxiety. A day of clouds and thick darkness, (God's word is hidden in thick darkness to unbelievers).
 
A day of trumpet and alarm (ignoring God's warnings). Against the fortified cities (relying on military power for protection). And against the high towers (thinking there is safety in modern buildings or bomb shelters).
