		"The prophet was responsible to remind his people that safety and blessedness were conditioned upon their faithful adherence to the covenant, and that this adherence involved not only doctrinal conviction but a sincere submission of their will to obey God with their whole heart and to lead a Godly life.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sophonias (Zephaniah)
		The ninth of the twelve Minor Prophets of the Canon of the Old Testament; preached and wrote in the second half of the seventh century B.C. He was a contemporary and supporter of the great Prophet Jeremias.
		A consolatory prophecy, or prophetic glance at the Kingdom of God of the future, in which all the world, united in one faith and one worship, will turn to one God, and the goods of the Messianic Kingdom, whose capital is the daughter of Sion, will be enjoyed.
		It is, however, the custom of the Prophets after a terrifying warning of the judgments of Jahve to close with a glimpse of the brilliant future of the Kingdom of God, to permit, as it were, the rainbow to follow the thunder-storm.

	Book of Obadiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Obadiah is classified as a "minor prophet" in the Christian Bible due to the brevity of the writing (only 21 verses) and the content (prophetic material).
		An Old Testament prophet was not only a person who was given divine insight into future events, but a person whom the Lord used to declare his word.
		The earlier period would place Obadiah as a contemporary of the prophet Elisha, and the later would place Obadiah as a contemporary of the prophet Jeremiah, both of whom were prophets in the respective time periods.

	Book of Micah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These figures allow a maximum period of fifty-five years for Micah's ministry, but it is not likely that he was active as a prophet during all of that time.
		He was active during the late eighth century BC; he was among the earliest of the Minor Prophets.
		Judgment in Micah is seen in destruction of Samaria, in the coming of a invader against Jerusalem, in the greedy land-grabbers loss of their land and in their being abandoned by Yahweh, in shame for the false prophets, in the siege of Jerusalem and the cleaning of the land from idolatry and militarism.

		In the period of the kings, however, the prophets were not rulers nor generally officials in government; they were righteous men of bold and independent spirit who challenged both kings and common people to follow the right ways of the Lord.

	MINOR PROPHETS (This Rock: February 1994)
		THE twelve shorter prophetic books in the Old Testament are attributed to "minor prophets," a title which refers to the shortness of the books, which of course were written under the same divine inspiration and contain teaching which is on a par with that in the preceding books.
		In this book the prophet describes his own life, surrounded as he was by moral corruption, in the form of a personal drama which represents the dramatic story of Yahweh and Israel his spouse.
		He must have begun his prophetic ministry after the exile, during the period of Persian domination, given the laxity of morals noted in the text and the continued lack of devotion on the part of priests.

		Prophets were praying men, prophets were men who worked on their knees.

		All appear to have been prophets of Jerusalem, sharing in the general theological outlook of that city. In the following comments I will focus primarily on their messages as these relate to their historical circumstances and to the legacy of hopes and prophecies of their eighth century prophetic predecessors.
		Hence, Zephaniah's prophetic activity must have occurred prior to this, although it is not impossible that he was one of those who prepared the way for these reforms.
		These more or less minor prophetic voices give testimony to the seriousness with which certain circles in Jerusalem were attending to the words of the eighth century prophets a century later (and to the words of Isaiah in particular).

		These three prophets are principally concerned with the status of the Temple, the new religious hierarchy, and the religious obligations of the post-exilic community.
		Malachi describes a priesthood that is forgetful of its duties, a Temple that is underfunded because the people have lost interest in it, and a society in which Jewish men divorce their Jewish wives to marry out of the faith.
		It was an era of spiritual disillusionment, for the glorious age that earlier prophets had foreseen had not materialized.

	Social Ethics in the Prophets
		Second, the prophets’ primary task was to call the people as a community to accountability and responsibility in their relationship with God.
		They thought the prophets were the first to express clearly a true monotheism that focused on accountability to God rather than on the magic that lay behind Ba’al worship.
		The prophets were not as concerned with pointing to the great acts of God in the past as they were using those acts of God as a basis for calling people to responsibility in the present.
