John 12:42–43
Man worries about what their religious leader will do to them.

Comments on the
John Section

John 12:42–43
⁴²Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: ⁴³For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

This story is prophesying that men already in “good standing” in Church will always worry about what their Church leaders and Church friends will do and say.

When the prophet shows the fulfilling of the Holy Spirit with the Seven Spirits of God, their mind will immediately go to, “What will the Church think about this?”
