The author gives, first, the detailed panorama of the historical situationin Juda in VII century BCE and, second, describes the reforms of Josiah.As regards the exact dating of the life and activity of the prophet Zephaniahthere are three main options. One group of scholars puts it at the verybeginning of the reign of the king Josiah, so immediately after 640 BCE.The others prefer the time that followed the very beginnings of the reformmovement, mentioned in the Second Book of Chronicle, so in the decadebefore the culmination of the reform activities of Josiah. The third groupputs the message of Zephaniah in the period after 622 BCE, suggestingthat the prophet strongly supported the king. The first two solutions seemto be the most reasonable.

The article constitutes an analysis of the motif of the day of Yahweh in the Book of Zephaniah. God’s anger, a crucial element of that day, may be interpreted as a metaphor for God’s mercy. The starting point for the verification of this hypothesis is the exploration of the semantic fields employed in the descriptions of the day of Yahweh in the Old Testament. Then, the historical-salvific background for the motif of God’s wrath is outlined. Situating God’s anger in the context of the covenant and Exodus helps pinpoint the function of the metaphor of anger in the message of God’s mercy.
