Imagine a society where the rich squeeze every penny out of the poor. The powerful oppress the weak. The spiritual leaders walk it two worlds—on the one hand they give lip service to the Lord and behind closed doors they bow to idols. Nations are in turmoil. There is a near-constant threat of war and shifting alliances on every side. The faithful are few and scattered, wondering if God notices the downward slide into chaos, wondering what he is going to do about it. …I bet you didn’t have to do too much imagining to picture such a world. In many respects it is the world we are now in. It is the world of God’s people during the time of the kings of Israel. How would and will God respond? The prophets had a consistent message: while the Lord is patient he will act in judgment against those who refuse to repent and bring salvation for his own.
