An historical sketch of an ancient Israelite Prophet: Zephaniah
Timeframe:
The prophet Zephaniah proclaimed his prophecy to the people of Judah during the reign of King Josiah, approximately 640-600 B.C.
Family:
Zephaniah was known to be a descendant of King Hezekiah.
Mission:
Seeing the idolatry that had spread in the holy city during the reign of King Manasseh, Zephaniah denounces the "rebellious and polluted city," and her fallen princes, and her gluttonous judges, and her false treacherous prophets and her profaned priests. He announced that after a period of chatisment, there would be rejoicing, peace, security.
