Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah : God's Just Demands

These prophets were writing in the time period 7th to 8th Century BC although Nahum, Habakkuk and Zephaniah all were writing towards the end of the 7th Century BC. Micah is the oldest prophesy here, he was a contemporary of Isaiah. Jonah came in between at the start of the 7th Century.The major prophetic themes of the destruction of Israels enemies, the judgement of God upon Israel when she turns from him and the peace that would result from living in harmony with God, are all here. There are also Messianic and future prophetic themes such as the eternal reign of a King from the line of David Micah and the destruction of Jerusalem Zephaniah. This fascinating period of Bible history is full of drama, wisdom and insight.
