The prophet Joel was sent to proclaim God’s judgment upon His Old Testament people for their idolatry. He predicts a “locust” plague that will devastate the nation. But with the judgment the LORD also offers an invitation and a call to repentance to His sinful people. Our summary verse is from Joel 2:32: “Whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” – (NKJV)

The prophet Obadiah was sent to the foreign nation of Edom to announce God’s judgment on them because of their wickedness toward Israel and Judah. This points us to the final day of Judgment which is coming for all of us. This serves as a warning to us in our day as well. Our summary verse is from Obadiah 1:15: ““As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head.” – (ESV)

2 Kings continues the history of the nations of Israel and Judah and reveals the power of the true God for blessing and judgement. We see an example of this as we look at good king Hezekiah and the ministry of Elisha, and two instances where the power of the LORD was clearly on display for the purpose leading all people to know Him as the only true God and Savior. Our summary verse is from 2 Kings 19:19: “Now therefore, O LORD our God, I pray, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the LORD God, You alone.” – (NKJV)
