Sinopsis

The twelve Minor Prophets chiefly addressed God&rsquo,s covenant people between the ninth and fifth centuries B.C. One striking feature of their prophecies is how often expressions of God&rsquo,s grace and affection are embedded within scathing denunciations of Jewish stubborn waywardness. Joel&rsquo,s prophetic indictment concisely summarizes God&rsquo,s overall plan to restore the Jewish nation, to judge the wicked, and to establish Messiah&rsquo,s kingdom in the future. Scripture teaches that God&rsquo,s future plan for glorifying the Church is quite different than His agenda for restoring Israel to a position of honor and blessing. Hosea refers to this latter event as &ldquo,a door of hope&rdquo, (Hos. 2:15). In a future day, a refined Jewish nation will pass through that door of repentance and will enter the stronghold of God (Zech. 9:12). Conversely, just as Israel yearns for their door of hope, Christians are to love &ldquo,the blessed hope,&rdquo, the imminent appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Tim. 4:8)! Thus, both the nation of Israel and the Church have all their hopes in Christ!
