Bible Mastery V: The Twelve Minor Prophets — Hosea Through Malachi

About This Course

Bible Mastery V: The Twelve Minor Prophets — Hosea Through Malachi is a deep, Scripture-first study of the final twelve books of the Old Testament. Students learn each prophet in historical context and trace the great themes that connect the collection: covenant unfaithfulness, judgment, mercy, the day of the LORD, the remnant, justice, true worship, Messianic promise, restoration, and the kingdom of God.

What makes this a Bible Mastery course

One hundred eight substantial lessons require an open King James Bible. The course does not treat the Minor Prophets as twelve disconnected collections of famous verses. It places them on the biblical timeline, examines complete KJV main passages, compares inspired New Testament fulfillments, studies difficult texts honestly, and trains students to separate SOURCE, OBSERVATION, CONCLUSION, and UNCERTAINTY.

TrueWords+ position: The King James Bible is the Scripture text throughout. Salvation has always been by grace through faith, not by law-keeping, national identity, ritual, turning from sins as a saving work, or a separate prophetic salvation plan. The course recognizes Old Covenant and New Covenant distinctions without forcing a dispensational system onto the prophets. It preserves eternal security, genuine human responsibility, the Trinity, and careful post-tribulation gathering language where relevant. It rejects Calvinistic determinism, Oneness theology, date-setting, newspaper exegesis, prosperity-gospel misuse, and manufactured certainty about disputed dates or prophetic details.
