Deaf Devo - The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, iowa, United States for Saturday, 8 July 2017 "Minor Prophets (1)" Bible Reading: Hebrews 1:1-4
Hebrews 1:1 In days gone by, God spoke in many and varied ways to the Fathers through the prophets. 2 But now, in the acharit-hayamim, he has spoken to us through his Son, to whom he has given ownership of everything and through whom he created the universe. 3 This Son is the radiance of the Sh’khinah, the very expression of God’s essence, upholding all that exists by his powerful word; and after he had, through himself, made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of HaG’dulah BaM’romim.[Hebrews 1:3 Psalm 110:1]
4 So he has become much better than angels, and the name God has given him is superior to theirs. [Complete Jewish Bible]
-------
With this devotion, we begin a series based on the Minor Prophets in the Old Testament. The Minor Prophets are the last 12 books in the Old Testament - Hosea through Malachi. These books of prophecy are called "minor" because they are shorter in length than the Major Prophets books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel and Daniel. All of these books of prophecy are important to help us understand God's message.
All of the Minor Prophets books have the same basic message: 1) An explanation of sin and judgment; 2) A warning about God's judgment; 3) A call for repentance; and 4) A promise of future redemption.
It is important for us to study these 12 books. They help us understand how much God hates sin and how much He loves us. Our Bible verses for today remind us that long ago, God spoke through His prophets. But now God speaks to us through His Son, Jesus Christ. Obey and follow Him today!
"In the past God spoke to our people through the prophets. He spoke to them many times and in many different ways." [Hebrews 1:1]
PRAYER: God, thank You for Your Word which shows me how to live. In Jesus' name. Amen.
