Dust to Glory 26

The minor prophets wrote books shorter in length, but no less colorful or dynamic

than those of the major prophets. Messages of judgment, encouragement, cursing,

and blessing fill the pages of these divine messengers. Joel warned a rebellious peo-

ple of an unstoppable invasion and spoke of the outpouring of the Spirit to come.

Micah pleaded with the people to repent of their covenant violations and to do justly,

love mercy, and walk humbly with their God. Habakkuk queried a sovereign God as

to why He allows misery to spread and the wicked to prosper. The messages of these

minor prophets are just as significant for modern believers as they were for their

original listeners. In this lecture, Dr. Sproul discusses the prophecies of Joel, Micah,

and Habakkuk.
