Interesting Find

During my morning reading time I came across this passage in the bible. Being that it relates directly to what we are studying in the book of John. I figured I'd share it with you all. In the book of Zephaniah there is reference or a prophecy on Christs evening trial and also how he will be judged and swept away before dawn by the corrupt leaders of Jerusalem. Leaving no trace of their prey(Jesus).It also states that they are like lions hunting for their prey. That is how they looked for Jesus when Judas led them to him at night! Check it out I was pretty excited when I read it.

Zephaniah

CHAPTER 3

Jerusalem’s Rebellion and Redemption

1 How terrible it will be for rebellious, polluted Jerusalem, the city of violence and crime. 2 It proudly refuses to listen even to the voice of the Lord. No one can tell it anything; it refuses all correction. It does not trust in the Lord or draw near to its God.
3 Its leaders are like roaring lions hunting for their victims—out for everything they can get. Its judges are like ravenous wolves at evening time, who by dawn have left no trace of their prey. 4 Its prophets are arrogant liars seeking their own gain. Its priests defile the Temple by disobeying God’s laws. 5 But the Lord is still there in the city, and he does no wrong. Day by day his justice is more evident, but no one takes notice—the wicked know no shame.
