Zephaniah
Zephaniah was a prophet who lived in Judah during the reign of King Josiah. He prophesied that God would punish Judah for its sins, but also that God would eventually restore the nation to its former glory. Zephaniah's name means "Yah has concealed," and he is often depicted as a young man with a hidden face. This may be a reference to the fact that Zephaniah's message was not always popular, and he may have been forced to hide his true identity in order to avoid persecution. However, Zephaniah's message was ultimately one of hope, and he believed that God would ultimately bring about a new era of peace and prosperity for Judah.
