To the people of Judah, distressed by changing political realities, it seemed that God had lost control of the situation--if he'd ever had it in the first place. Zephaniah warned of imminent judgment but also pointed to hope close at hand: God is both Judge and a Refuge from judgment. In Haggai's day, God's struggling people needed to reorder their priorities and invest themselves in building the Lord's house. Haggai declared that God's renewed presence in their midst would bring renewed blessing. When doubt of the Lord's love and watchfulness led the people into sin and distress, Malachi addressed their concerns and failings one by one. God would not abandon those who feared him, despite a history of rebellion against him. Practical, devotional, and expositional, this commentary delves into the ways these three prophets point us to the sufferings of Christ, the forgiveness of God, and anticipated glories to come.
Zephaniah, Haggai, Malachi is a wonderful book. It makes these books easy to read and understand for the common person. It makes it very relevant to today and that is what so exciting it also represents their prophetic writings of the foretelling of CHRIST which when HE arrived the Jews did not see - their eyes were closed, but the Gentiles took all HE said and did as a sponge. They knew who HE truly was, some Jews did accept who HE was but not many, and that broke HIS heart - for those where HIS beloved children - the chosen - but HE came to seek and save the lost - and HE did - for I am one... I received a copy of this book from the Publisher an Netgalley; all the opinions expressed in this review are all my own.
