A Commentary on The Minor Prophets

Hosea Joel Amos Obadiah Jonah Micah Nahum Habakkuk Zephaniah Haggai MalachiDavid Pawson looks at the messages of these so-called minor prophets and says: I do not like that term. To God all prophets are important whether they speak a little or a lot. Even if God only gave you three words for somebody else that is prophecy. You dont need to do it at length for fifty years as some prophets did. There are some prophets in the Old Testament who only speak once and then as far as we know they disappear; but they have given a message from God. This is all a prophet is: someone who has heard a message and passes it on to the right people. It is such a simple ministry. You dont need to be theologically educated; you dont need to be a public speaker. In fact God seems to entrust this ministry to those who dont have a gift of oratory. It is exciting to hear ordinary folk who would never be able to get up into a pulpit and preach a sermon hear from God and pass on a word from him.
