CONTEMPORARIES: Presumptively Nahum and Jeremiah (earlier ministry).
KEY THOUGHT: Jehovah is "in the midst" and can be depended upon to act in accord with His character.
OUTLINE:
The Day of Jehovah's judgment--"in the midst for judgment"(3:5) 1:1-3:7
The Day of Jehovah's restoration--"in the midst" for deliverance(15, 17) 3:8-20
