In 1997, creator Joss Whedon revisited a screenplay that had previously been adapted into a relatively forgotten horror-comedy film: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Dissatisfied with how the film turned out, Whedon developed his own version of the story as an allegory for the "horrors" of growing up. For seven years, Buffy and her friends (the Scoobies) battled demons, both of the metaphorical and literal kind and, along the way, took part in a series that defines the term "cult classic."

A study of the Minor Prophets is a study of God in motion. The men sent to preach to Israel, Judah, and even Kingdoms around them, did so with a two-fold message.

It was up to the prophets to press the sinners in their audience to heed the warnings of the first message so that they could enjoy the blessings of the second.
