Summary: Joel, Obadiah, and Malachi are prophets of both God's judgment and God's promise of hope. While Joel points to the universal scope of God's judgment as he likens it to an army of locusts, he also promises that God will pour out his Spirit on all flesh. Obadiah delivers a message to Edom, the enemy of Israel, who will be brought low by God's consuming fire, yet he also describes restoration and deliverance for God's people. Malachi brings God's judgment home--to Israel herself. But at the same time he predicts the coming of a Messiah who will lead the people to a realization of all their hopes and dreams.
