Minor Prophets: Zephaniah - If Jesus returned tomorrow, what would that mean for you? The prophet Zephaniah referred to Jesus' return as "the Day of the Lord," and he tells us that there are only two possible fates for us when that day comes. It will be both a day of judgment and a day of salvation. Which will you experience? Depends on what you do with Jesus. If you have accepted him as your lord and savior, the Day of the Lord is a day to look forward to indeed.
