The Old Testament prophets were charged with bringing God’s word to his people. Their messages particularly interpreted the political and social events that were occurring around the people of Israel and what God was doing and saying through these events. Very often these were messages that the people were less than willing to hear, with a major emphasis upon God’s judgement. The prophets combined these messages, however, with the belief that judgement would not be God’s final word and the hope that he would eventual fulfil his covenant purposes for his people and the world. During this series we will look at the messages of the Twelve ‘Minor’ Prophets and seek to discern what God is saying to our contemporary situation through them.
