Minor Prophets

Welcome to a twenty-four chapter study of the Minor Prophets. The beginning chapters will have some preliminary discussions as we try to understand what kind of books and what kind of men  are in this study.

A study of the prophets, particularly the minor prophets, will enrich the life of anyone who applies himself to learn the teachings in these books. On the other hand, this study will only add to the confusion of those who want to use these writings as a basis for some speculation about the future. The prophets were primarily preachers of the word, “forth-tellers” of God’s word, not predictors or “fore-tellers” of the future. Because God had inspired them to speak, He also inspired them to predict. However, we will see that their primary message pertained to the needs of the people of their day.
