I was doing research into the number of the antichrist and it led me to this chapter; the sum of 1-36 is 666, and Zephaniah is the 36th book of the bible. This Chapter has 18 verses in it; 6+6+6 is 18, and speaks about discusses God destroying those who are not his. My favorite of these verses is verse 12:
"And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil."
The candles are the 7 spirits of God, also referenced in revelation; the Lees is the dead yeast at the bottle of wine, which i find a perfect analogy for those who searched after other doctrines -wines-, and are finished in their searching for God and truth, and have made their wine -doctrine- fully spoiled.
"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." ( Revelation 13:18)
