Who were the prophets? The Minor Prophets

About this episode

Dan and Paul conclude their series on the prophets by exploring the minor prophets and their themes.

Dan and Paul conclude their series on the prophets by surveying the “minor prophets” as the intentionally arranged “Book of the Twelve,” noting editorial links between books and recurring themes. They explain how prophets spoke to real historical audiences (both before and after the Babylonian exile) while also pointing beyond their own time. Key themes explored include covenant faithfulness, fruitfulness, the “day of the Lord” as justice and restoration and promises of a coming deliverer highlighted especially in Zechariah and Micah.
