What is the main message of Habakkuk?
Mode: Questions and Answers

Habbakuk highlights and models the significance of faithfulness and trust in God for the people of Judah in the midst of the challenge of foreign invasion and oppression (first by the Assyrians, and later the Babylonians who will be God’s instrument of deliverance from the Assyrians); the story is not over and God will restore his people, and the glory and knowledge of the LORD will fill the whole world (Hab 2:14). Reassurance: the oppressors will themselves be overthrown in time, so that the mission of God’s people to bless the nations may go forward and be fulfilled.
What is the main message of Jeremiah?
1) The sin of Judah: Forsaking the Lord and devising a religious system that epitomized disobedience.

2) Judgment: This was coming through Babylon if the people did not repent. With that said, God was ready to relent if they did repent.

3) New Covenant: Because God would work directly on the hearts of his people, religion of ritual without morality would cease.

4) The Future of Judah: This includes return from exile—exile was not the end of the story. Moreover, he saw beyond that to where the story was headed, the Messianic age during which both Israel and the nations would be blessed by as new Davidic ruler.
What is the main message of Ezekiel?
20:39-44 and 36:22-32 spell out the nature of God’s grace (in spite of repeated provocations), the new birth and its effects (no longer will God’s people presume on his forbearance), and the goal of God in saving people for himself. He will see the story through to its conclusion; do the people of Judah want to have a part in that?
What is the main message of Daniel?

– physical protection of Daniel in lion's den, fiery furnace
– Daniel's ability to interpret dreams

– repentance of Nebuchadnezzar/Darius (nations!)
What is the main message of Obadiah?
Edom is toast: The main message is God's continuing zeal for his people. Judgement upon Judah through Edom and God judging Edom.
What is the main message of Haggai?
The main message “is quite simple – the people of Judah should get back to work and finish rebuilding the temple.” The book reminds us that God's will and work must always take priority.”
What is the main message of Zechariah?
God will renew his covenant with the restored people, and be faithful to them. The promise to David (2 Sam 7) still stands – the Messiah will come. Therefore the people should take courage and have faith that God is in fact with them.
What is the main message of Malachi?
Malachi addresses the nominalism of the people of God after the revival of Haggai and Zechariah had worn off. They are not the kind of people that God delights in and makes to be a light to the rest of the world (=Day of the LORD).
What is the main message of Joel?
Yahweh’s judgment, both in its present and apocalyptic forms, is transformed into salvation when his people accept his offer of grace and return to him with torn hearts and not just torn clothing. God not only meets his people’s material needs but gives his very self as well.
