Is it the final judgment?
How do we best answer the Dispensational claim that 3:14-20 is a millennial prophecy?

"How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked... but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night." -Psalm 1:1a,2

John Gill states the passage is meant to encourage Jerusalem and not be afraid during their tribulations. It serves to remind them the Lord thy God is with them and is mighty! Though this passage doesn't specifically say "Day of the Lord", the term "That Day" often alludes to the day Christ will return.

This biblical phrase can refer to any unusual time that God displays His sovereignty over human powers and plans. The prophets of the Old Testament sometimes used this phrase to refer to a past judgment, a present experience, or a future event (Lamentations 1:12; Joel 1: 15). sometimes the people thought the Day of the Lord only as a time of salvation and light, but it was also a time of judgment and darkness (Amos 5 18-20)

In the New Testament letters, this phrase points to Christ's victory over evil at His coming. The coming Day of the Lord emphasizes that His return will include punishment for the wicked and deliverance for the righteous. Most often, the phrase (Day of the Lord) implies God's sovereign right to judge all humanity as the Holy Lord.

In His Grip,

So this "day" that Zeph. speaks of through-out the book isn't a specific day, but rather any time the Lord visits for judgment/deliverance?
