The Message of the Minor Prophets
The repentance that the Old Testament prophets preached is one of our greatest needs even now.
Hosea, the Prophet of Love
Israel is the wife of whoredom, but God loves the sinful and rebellious nation and pleads, "Return to the Lord."
Joel, the Prophet of Pentecost
"The Day of the Lord" is a phrase that Joel used to provide the best understanding of his basic message.
Amos, the Prophet of Justice
Amos answered the call of God to call others back to God and away from complacency and idolatry.
Obadiah, the Censurer of Ridicule
Because of cruelty and pride, Edom would be completely destroyed.
Jonah, the Reluctant Preacher
The book of Jonah is more than a story about a great fish, a great storm, gourds, or worms. It is a story about man's relationship with God.
Micah, the Champion of the Poor and Downtrodden
Micah presents God in a courtroom situation with a case against Israel and Judah.
Habakkuk, the Prophet of Faith
God will punish wicked Judah by even more wicked Babylon, but the righteous will live by his faith.
Zephaniah, the Preacher of Doom
Zephaniah tells what God will do because of sin, apathy, idolatry, and atheism.
Haggai, the Prophet of the Temple
The work of Haggai was to encourage the rebuilding of the temple of God in Jerusalem.
Zechariah, the Prophet of Visions
The vision of Joshua the high priest is a picture of the saint accused by the devil and still in need of grace.
Malachi, the Prophet of Preparation
Malachi was sent by God to denounce the practices that were dishonoring to God and His worship and to deliver people from abuses.
