Micah, Nahum, and Zephaniah condemn corrupt leadership, injustice to the poor, and worship of false gods. Habakkuk reminds all to rely on God, who will punish the evil and defeat chaos.

Download or read book Prophecy The Minor Prophets written by Harold Lerch and published by Word to the World Ministries. This book was released on 2024-03-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the last in a series of four books about prophecy. This volume is about the often-overlooked minor prophets. In reality, they include very interesting information about events that happened after their time and events still in our future. Amos, Hosea, Micah, and Nahum wrote in the Eighth and Seventh Centuries BC [Before Christ] about coming judgment. Joel, Jonah, Zephaniah, and Habakkuk wrote in the Ninth through Seventh Centuries BC about faith and repentance. Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi wrote in the Eighth and Seventh Centuries BC. Haggai’s ministry was to scold the returned exiles for their delay in rebuilding the Temple and to encourage them to set to work. Zechariah predicted the second coming of Christ, His reign, His priesthood, His kingship, and more. Malachi is the final prophet with the last message of the Old Testament. It includes the hope in the prophecy of John the Baptist's ministry. This series is contained in four books. The whole scope of prophecy must be considered in determining the meaning of any particular passage. Therefore, a reading of all four books will greatly improve understanding. This volume includes a bonus chapter— The Book of Revelation.

Download or read book Minor Prophets written by and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the language of the Bible, "prophecy" has quite a broad meaning, but refers, primarily, to the idea of "speaking in the name of God". The entire Old Testament could be said to be prophetic, but some books carry the names of twelve "minor" prophets - a distinction based on their length. Not all of them easy to date, the authors and editors of these books in the "roll of the twelve prophets" lived at times between the eighth century and second century BC.
Download or read book Reconsidering the Book of the Four written by Nicholas R. Werse and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many scholars recognize literary similarities between Hosea, Amos, Micah, and Zephaniah, defining the compositional relationship between these texts remains a matter of debate. Following the scholarly trajectory of exploring the compositional relationship between the Twelve prophets, several scholars argue that these four prophetic texts formed a precursory collection to the Book of the Twelve. Yet even among advocates for this ‘Book of the Four’ there remain differences in defining the form and function of the collection. By reexamining the literary parallels between these texts, Werse shows how different methodological convictions have led to the diverse composition models in the field today. Through careful consideration of emerging insights in the study of deuteronomism and scribalism, Werse provides an innovative composition model explaining how these four texts came to function as a collection in the wake of the traumatic destruction of Jerusalem. This volume explores a historic function of these prophetic voices by examining the editorial process that drew them together.
Download or read book Amos Hosea Micah written by Philip J. King and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eminently qualified to write this groundbreaking book, Philip King is known as both an archaeological and biblical authority. Defining biblical archaeology as the "process of correlating archaeological evidence with the biblical record," he sees the function of this discipline as the illumination of the events recorded in the Bible in order to clarify the text. In Amos, Hosea, and Micah, King offers an enlightening and elegant commentary on the eight-century prophets from an archaeological perspective.
Download or read book Prophets III written by William Angor Anderson and published by Liguori Catholic Bible Study. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surrounded by military and political threats, the people of Israel were led into dangerous alliances and war. Survivors were subjected to steep taxation, exile, intermarriage, and more, and loyalty to God diminished. With the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians, all faith seemed lost. Enter the minor prophets, bringers of oracles, parables, and poems named "minor" not for their lack of significance but for the briefness of their texts. Like Jonah in the fish, they confess sin and foresee judgment but emerge from the darkness to tell of forgiveness, restoration, abundant blessings, and salvation. Like the Temple, which was rebuilt, the loyalty of the Lord will grow and prosper.

Download or read book The Books of Joel Obadiah Jonah Nahum Habakkuk and Zephaniah written by John D. W. Watts and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1975-05-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The six Old Testament books dealt with in this volume of the Commentary are part of a larger unit originally copied on one scroll and called, for the sake of simplicity, the books of the twelve or minor prophets. The prophetic visions, liturgies and oracles contained in the twelve books were collected over a period of more than 300 years and given their final shape not earlier than the middle of the fifth century BC. In his opening chapter Dr Watts provides the historical and liturgical background to the books and discusses the nature and role of prophecy in worship. In the style established for the series, the NEB translation of the text then follows, divided into brief sections alternating with sections of commentary. The results of Old Testament scholarship and modern theological though are conveyed to the student and the layman in simple language.
Download or read book The Twelve written by Bob MacDonald and published by Energion Publications. This book was released on 2019-05-03 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How will we think about the twelve? Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi are considered a single book in the Hebrew canon. They are the third section of the prophets, the second major division of the Hebrew Bible. We can hear in the music, the words of Amos, and his contemporary, Hosea, whose child was named Not-My-People, yet he sings about the count of the children of Israel as the sand of the sea. And Micah sings, like his contemporary, Isaiah, of swords into plowshares. Zephaniah chants about the unclean bird and the porcupine, stopping over in the capitals of Nineveh. And thinking of that great city, who can forget the lilt of the Jonah cantata once it has been heard? The Twelve is volume 4 of the series, The Hebrew Bible and Its Music.

Download or read book The Minor Prophets Vol 2 written by Edward Bouverie Pusey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Minor Prophets, Vol. 2: With a Commentary Explanatory and Practical, and Introductions to the Several Books; Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi Micah, according to the title which he prefixed to his prophecy, was called to the prophetic ofiice somewhat later than Isaiah. His ministry began later, and ended earlier. For Uzziah, in whose reign Isaiah began to prophesy, was dead before Micah was called to his office and Micah probably was called away early in the reign of Hezekiah, where as some of the chief public acts of Isaiah's ministry fell in the 17th and 18th years of the reign of Hezekiah. Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, had doubtless been withdrawn to their rest. Hosea alone, in grey-haired might, was still protesting in vain against the deepening corruptions of Israel. The contents of Micah's prophecy and his relation to Isaiah agree with the inscription. His prophecy has indications of the times of J otham, perhaps also of those of Ahaz; one signal prophecy, we know historically, was uttered in the reign of Hezekiah.
