About Sermons in Zephaniah, Haggai, and Zechariah

We live in an age of practical atheism where men pay lip service to God and then do as they please. Our time is marked by a failure to meet our responsibility while believing that nothing will happen—that God will not judge His church as He’s judged His people throughout history. As we know, judgment begins at the house of God because the church bears the greater burden of guilt for possessing the greater privileges of God’s covenant, grace, salvation, and courage. We must take our lesson from Jerusalem of old to whom God sent prophets like Zephaniah, Haggai, and Zechariah to remind them of their covenant responsibility to provide the standard and word to the wicked nations around them. In this volume, R. J. Rushdoony brings out the two-edged sword of God’s law-word through these three minor prophets to both warn and encourage us to greater faithfulness and ministry. Like the faithful in ancient Jerusalem, we can feel small, marginalized, and peripheral to history, but Rushdoony reminds us that our security and effectiveness are determined by the God who controls history and not the evil machinations of men. In this book is the message of hope that we desperately need right now.
