The Purpose of the Prophets

In this three-volume series, Pastor Melissa Scott, Ph.D. teaches on the purpose of the prophets.  From the well-known to the obscure, all of them were courageous, tenacious people who did not give up when their faith was tried.  They brought sins to light, corrected kings, and directed people back to the Lord.  All of them spoke the unpopular truth, no matter the consequences.

God revealed Himself in the Old Testament through prophecy and miracles.  He put His power, His presence, and His will on display to show people He was God, so they might turn to Him.  He used the prophet Elisha to make sure that His will would be carried out by Hazael and Jehu, to wipe out evil people.  No two servants of God are the same, except in their faith; Elijah and Elisha performed similar miracles, for a different purpose. 2 Kings.

Obadiah is a small book with only 21 verses, but it has a much larger message.  Through the prophet, God tells what will be done to the Edomites, who scoffed at His people and did not value the things of God.  This book applies to the time when it was written and to a future time when those who refuse to repent and turn to God will be forever cut off from His presence. Obadiah. VF-2540.

The prophecy of Joel describes a famine and devastation sent by God to wake the people up and bring them to repentance.  It affected every aspect of life, from the livestock to the crops that made the offerings and worship practices possible.  While Joel’s prophecy speaks to the people in his day, it also speaks to us in the present, who are living in a very evil time.  It also speaks of the future, when divine retribution will be meted out on “the day of the LORD.”  Although the circumstance...

God told the prophet Hosea to marry a whore to symbolize the spiritual infidelity of Israel.  In their prosperity, the people had failed to give God thanks and had worshiped idols.  God still loved them, but He said that if they would not repent, they would not be His people and would not obtain mercy.  But in a future time, they will be His people once more and obtain mercy, and Christ will be their King. Hosea. VF-2542

The prophet Amos speaks of God’s judgment against the northern kingdom of Israel.  God spelled out their sins in great detail and warned them that their punishment was coming quickly.  History shows us that God kept His word.  While there is very little hope in the book of Amos, there is a promise that in a future time, the scattered people of Israel will be brought back and Christ will dwell in their midst.  The lesson for us today is this: don’t keep pushing the limit with God, because at s...

God sent Jonah to a foreign kingdom with this message, “Turn back to God now! Judgment is coming.”  Miraculously, they listened and did just that.  This is the same message that needs to be preached to our entire government and all of America.  If the president’s spiritual advisors and those with a platform start saying, “Repent! Believe in Jesus Christ and repent of your sins,” we might have a chance. Jonah. VF-2545
