It is impossible seriously to peruse this collection of prophetic writings (the minor prophets) without discovering the Omniscient Eye to which all future events, with the most minute of their attendant circumstances, are present; the Omnipotent Arm, which, in the most difficult cases, secures the accomplishment of the divine purposes; the glorious attributes of Jehovah as the Moral Governor of the universe, and the special Friend and Protector of His people; the deep depravity of the human heart; the multiform phases of moral evil; and the just retributions which befall mankind in the present state of existence. These, and numerous subjects of a kindred nature, furnish abundance of matter "profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness," which, while it is able to make men "wise unto salvation, thru faith which is in Christ Jesus," is also admirably fitted to make the man of God "perfect, thoroly furnished unto all good works." 2 Tim. 3: 15-17.—E. Henderson, D.D.
