A.J. Higgins gives a brief overview of the Minor Prophets (Hebrews 1:1), addressing their historical context, purpose, audience, and defining characteristics. Higgins examines the length and preservation of the prophetic writings on a single scroll, the historical timeline spanning the United Kingdom, the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah, the Babylonian captivities, and the post-exilic restoration under the Medo-Persian Empire. He further explores the specific historical audiences and messages of individual prophets, including Jonah, Nahum, Obadiah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, while highlighting broader theological themes such as divine judgment, national accountability, the consequences of idolatry, and the spiritual priorities of the restored remnant.
