The Old Testament closes with "The Twelve," a dozen short books that declare "the word of the Lord" to his people by his prophets. The prophets shed light on the sinful practices of God's people and called them back to obedience to his Word. They warned the people of coming judgment, and they reminded the people about the character of God and urged them to trust him with all their hearts. And the prophets anticipated the coming Messiah: “To him all the prophets bear witness...” (Acts 10:43).
