Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Zephaniah's 'great day of the LORD is near' is among the most concentrated 'day of the LORD' oracles and feeds the same prophetic reservoir behind v.8. The volume is low because Paul names no specific feature of Zephaniah's day, but the motif's availability is high.
Low confidenceSupplementary witness to the 'day of the LORD' background behind 'the day of Jesus Christ.' Lower than Joel/Amos because the verbal contact is generic; included for recurrence of the motif.
