| | Minor prophet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A minor prophet is a book in the Minor Prophets section of the Hebrew Bible, also known to Christians as the Old Testament. | | | In the Hebrew Bible the writings of the minor prophets are counted as a single book, in Christian Bibles as twelve individual books. | | | See Major prophets for the longer books of prophecies in the Bible and the Tanakh. |

| | Theology - CLAVIS BIBLICA, THE TWELVE MINOR PROPHETS |
| | This is the shortest of all the prophets. | | | This prophet was sent to the Jews under Josiah to foretell them of their approaching captivity by the Chaldeans, on account of their idolatry, and other heinous offenses; of which he strenuously exhorts them to repent. | | | This was the second prophet sent to the Jews after their return from captivity; and he encouraged the people to proceed with the building of the temple. |

| | Minor Prophets - Part 1 |
| | The distinctive element of Hebrew prophecy, however, was the relationship of the prophet to God, the Lord of the Covenant, and to Israel, the covenant people. | | | The Hebrew prophets were very conscious of the absolute holiness (separateness) of God and his purpose for his chosen people, Israel. | | | Unlike the Priests, prophets were not a hereditary class. |

| | Remember, the Church is not in the prophets at all. | | | The prophet's chief duty was to deal with the moral and religious life of his own people during his day. | | | The prophets were men whom God raised up during the dark days of Israel's history. |

| | Book of Obadiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Obadiah is classified as a "minor prophet" in the Christian Bible due to the brevity of the writing (only 21 verses) and the content (prophetic material). | | | An Old Testament prophet was not only a person who was given divine insight into future events, but a person whom the Lord used to declare his word. | | | The earlier period would place Obadiah as a contemporary of the prophet Elisha, and the later would place Obadiah as a contemporary of the prophet Jeremiah, both of whom were prophets in the respective time periods. |

| | The Minor Prophets |
| | The study of the prophet Zechariah will show that the prophecies of coming glory for Israel are all based on Jehovah’s remembrance of His covenant. | | | Malachi is the last of the prophets of the Old Testament, and the New Testament opens with John the Baptist echoing his voice and crying out, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, as it is written in the prophet. | | | Two-thirds of the prophecy (chapters 1 and 2) is a conversation between God and the prophet. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sophonias (Zephaniah) |
| | A consolatory prophecy, or prophetic glance at the Kingdom of God of the future, in which all the world, united in one faith and one worship, will turn to one God, and the goods of the Messianic Kingdom, whose capital is the daughter of Sion, will be enjoyed. | | | The ninth of the twelve Minor Prophets of the Canon of the Old Testament; preached and wrote in the second half of the seventh century B.C. He was a contemporary and supporter of the great Prophet Jeremias. | | | It is, however, the custom of the Prophets after a terrifying warning of the judgments of Jahve to close with a glimpse of the brilliant future of the Kingdom of God, to permit, as it were, the rainbow to follow the thunder-storm. |

| | MINOR PROPHETS (This Rock: February 1994) |
| | THE twelve shorter prophetic books in the Old Testament are attributed to "minor prophets," a title which refers to the shortness of the books, which of course were written under the same divine inspiration and contain teaching which is on a par with that in the preceding books. | | | His "book" of 21 verses is the shortest of the minor prophets. | | | The prophet Nahum (in Hebrew "consoler") was a veritable consoler of Judah: In his short oracle he communicated God's message of the downfall of its greatest enemy, Assyria. |

| | Minor Prophets - introduction |
| | Prophet means "one who speaks for another." Abraham was the first person called a prophet in the Bible. | | | In the period of the kings, however, the prophets were not rulers nor generally officials in government; they were righteous men of bold and independent spirit who challenged both kings and common people to follow the right ways of the Lord. | | | As we study these pre-exilic minor prophets, the message we will hear over and over is repent, turn to God, give your heart to God. |

| | The Minor Prophets (1) |
| | Hosea was a prophet of the Northern Kingdom, Israel. | | | All of the Minor Prophets were servants of God who proclaimed His will to people in need of repentance. | | | He was not a “son of the prophets” (a professional prophet who had been trained in the schools of the prophets). |

| | They ask whether they came from the prophet who gave his name to the book or from later prophets. | | | He criticizes the prophets who give oracles for money (3:11) or tailor their messages according to their clients' generosity (3:5). | | | Although we read the canonical book through the eyes of the postxilic community of faith, who come to the fore in 7:8-20, the importance of these sections lies in the spiritual message of these prophetic texts. |

| | These three prophets are principally concerned with the status of the Temple, the new religious hierarchy, and the religious obligations of the post-exilic community. | | | It was an era of spiritual disillusionment, for the glorious age that earlier prophets had foreseen had not materialized. | | | Malachi describes a priesthood that is forgetful of its duties, a Temple that is underfunded because the people have lost interest in it, and a society in which Jewish men divorce their Jewish wives to marry out of the faith. |

| | These more or less minor prophetic voices give testimony to the seriousness with which certain circles in Jerusalem were attending to the words of the eighth century prophets a century later (and to the words of Isaiah in particular). | | | Despite the apostasy that surrounded them, and the doubts they themselves might have had about Assyrian control and influence in their region, they were still confident that Yahweh was God and the words of his prophets were true. | | | The problem that perturbs him is the divine rationale behind the raising up of a people as fierce and amoral as the Babylonians (see his critique of them in 2:5‑20) as an instrument of punishment and justice against a people better than they (1:12‑13). |

| | The prophet Hosea of Israel was a contemporary with the prophet Micah of Judah. | | | Joel is one of the prophetic books the disciples of Jesus read and prayed during the days between His resurrection, assension, and Pentecost. | | | It was actually His kindness through the prophets to first give the nation clear understanding of its transgression: the people of Israel are deeply self-serving in their vertical relationship (with God) and in their horizontal relationships (with fellow men). |

| | Chapter Twenty God Persists: Hosea, Joel |
| | Chapter 1 opens with the remarkable command of God to the prophet to go and marry a girl who would ultimately prove to be a harlot, and thus to illustrate through the personal history of Hosea the heartbreak of God when He saw the people of Israel given over to spiritual harlotry. | | | Yet in the face of this clear revelation of coming judgment, the prophet was sent also to tell the people that there would come a day when Israel would be restored and their names of reproach taken away and they would be called by all "Sons of the living God" (v. | | | Peter went on quoting from the prophet, pointing out that there would be signs in the heavens when the sun would be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the terrible day of the Lord shall come. |

| | The prophet used his marriage to Gomer and her infidelity to describe the way Israel had violated her covenant with God. | | | This prophet expressed his anxiety over the growing power of the Babylonian empire and the fact that God would allow a pagan nation to dominate His people (perhaps dated between 610586 B.C.). | | | The prophet struggles to answer the question of why God is silent when the wicked swallow up the more righteous (1:13). |

| | J N Darby Synopsis - The Minor Prophets |
| | We find thus in the prophets (taking a moral view of their subjects), first, the judgment of the people in general, the house of David being spared for a time, God raising up Hezekiah; and on this occasion the true Son of David is announced. | | | Obadiah reveals to us, not this general and public pride of the world, but the hatred to God's people which is especially seen in those who were outwardly connected with them, and who, according to the flesh, claimed a right to the inheritance of the firstborn. | | | It may have been already remarked, that the commencement of Isaiah, while speaking of the Lord Jesus, is essentially occupied with Judah, Israel, and the nations; the close of the book especially with Christ, and the consequences of His rejection by the people. |

| | The Minor Prophets (2) |
| | The work of a prophet was two-fold: 1) To call God’s people to repentance; 2) To reveal God’s future judgments and the coming of the Christ and His kingdom. | | | Micah’s prophetic ministry was during the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. | | | Five books are known as “Major Prophets.” The other twelve books are called “Minor Prophets” because their books are shorter. |

| | Chapter 17: Amos and Hosea |
| | What is significant is the impact upon the prophet of his experience with the harlotrous woman, whether she was Gomer or another, for Hosea's oracles are interspersed with references to the adultery and harlotry of Israel as symbols of apostasy. | | | NORTHERN prophecy was revived by two prophets whose oracles are included in the biblical collection often referred to as "The Minor Prophets," a reference to the length rather than the importance of their utterances. | | | The Syrians are cursed for cruelty in the seizure of Gilead, the Ammonites for viciousness in their land grab in the Transjordan, and the Moabites for the desecration of the dead (a crime not condemned by the editors of Kings when practiced by Josiah, as in II Kings 23:16 ff.). |

| | Your Rich Men are Full of Violence |
| | I like reading the prophets, not just for their passion but as a reminder that there are many moments in history when leaders -- whether they are the kings of ancient Israel or the presidents of the United States -- will have amassed such concentrated power that no challenge in the short term is possible. | | | Many in the anti-war and anti-empire movement tend toward the pacifist language of the gospels when they invoke religion, but I've always been a fan of the so-called "minor prophets" of the Old Testament, such as Micah. | | | Probably the best-known verse from Micah is: "And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" (6:8). |

| | The remaining verses in which the prophet turns on Jerusalem, warning that their priests and prophets who should be spokesmen for Yahweh were bringing a similar fate to Judah, come from the same period. | | | The message was not reassuring, for the prophet was to aid in bringing destructive judgment on the people—he was to preach a message that men would not heed; indeed, they would turn away and because of failure to heed would be destroyed. | | | The last collection of prophetic oracles from the eighth century are from Micah, the prophet of the Shephelah. |

| | Zechariah: They is one of the most apocalyptic of the prophets insofar as it contains mystic visions of the rebuilt Temple, the high priest Joshua, the davidic governor Zerubbabel and God's messianic intentions for Israel. | | | Haggai: This prophet speaks during the period of reconstruction after the exile and criticizes the leadership for neglecting to rebuild God's house. | | | Jonah: This book stands out among the prophets because it contains no prophecy directed to the reader but instead is a story about a prophet who resists God's call to deliver a message to the people of Nineveh. |
