God May Be Totally Different From How You Imagined Him To Be
John 15:14-15
Zephaniah 3:17
A rapturous description of the love of God for his people.
This verse is the John 3:16 of the OT.
The Hebrew behind “he will quiet you with his love” was translated by the KJV, “he will rest in his love.”
The reading of the text has been understood and interpreted in various ways: (1) because of his love, the Lord will keep silent regarding his people’s sins; (2) the Lord’s love will be so strong and deep as to hush motion or speech—there will be silent ecstasy; and (3) the Lord’s silence is due to his planning of good deeds toward Israel
The last three lines should be taken together.
The general sense of the verse is plain: God’s delight in those whom he has redeemed
Robertson explains the meaning in the following way: “he will be quiet (over you) in his love.... To consider Almighty God sinking in contemplations of love over a once-wretched human being can hardly be absorbed by the human mind.”
But that is exactly the point of the verse—God delights in you
