THE MINOR PROPHETS An Introduction

What do you think about when you hear “Minor Prophets”? Does something like this come to mind?

Romans 15:4 “For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All scripture is breathed out by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”

IV. How can I better understand them? 1.Seek to understand the political, social, and religious settings of the times. 2.Consider God’s relation to the “heathen” (any nation that is not Israel). 3.Note any teaching regarding the Messiah and His coming Kingdom. i.The immediate mission of most prophets was to save God’s people from idolatry and wickedness. ii.Following that, they were sent to announce God’s judgment. iii.Many prophets left a message of hope of the coming Messiah.

V. Why should I study the Minor Prophets? In the Minor Prophets we can learn about… A.The nature of God- His holiness, justice, righteousness, and mercy. B.The workings of God- as He dealt with nations, brought judgment upon the guilty, saved His people, foretold of hope to come. All of this can help us in our relationship with God today, and can give us comfort and hope as we are rminded that He is in control
