Dust to Glory 25

The last twelve books of the Old Testament are known as the minor prophets. They

are known as minor, not because they are less significant, but rather because they are

shorter in length. The minor prophets delivered powerful messages from God to His

wayward people. The prophet Amos focused primarily on the justice of God with less

attention on God’s mercy. The prophet Hosea focused primarily on the mercy of God

with less attention on God’s justice. Both of these prophets transmitted the Word of

the Lord to the people and pleaded with them to return to the faith of their fathers.

In this lecture, Dr. Sproul discusses the prophecies of Amos and Hosea.
