They are called “minor,” but their messages are anything but small. The twelve Minor Prophets, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, delivered some of the most powerful, poetic, and penetrating words in all of Scripture. They spoke during times of crisis, called nations to repentance, foretold the coming of the Messiah, and revealed the heart of a God who is both just and merciful.
Though their books are brief, their impact is immense. Hosea lived out a parable of God’s faithful love. Jonah learned that God’s mercy extends even to Nineveh. Micah proclaimed the birthplace of the Messiah. Malachi prepared the way for the coming of John the Baptist and, ultimately, Jesus Christ. These prophets challenged kings, confronted hypocrisy, and offered hope to a people longing for restoration.
But how well do you know these often-overlooked books of the Bible? Can you name the prophet who was swallowed by a great fish? Do you know which prophet saw a valley of dry bones come to life? What about the prophet who declared, “The righteous shall live by his faith”?
