How to find prophecies of Messianic Kingdom among the minor prophets
I want to give a short lecture overviewing the minor prophets including highlighting their prophecies about a Messianic hope and kingdom.
I've tried numerous searches in Logos for both overview and kingdom prophecies, but topic searches yield nothing and sentence searches tend to find a huge number of Bible texts that have the literal words of my search rather than something like Google's ability to suss out the overall intent of the entire search phrase. So I was wondering if anyone has an idea about forming a good search for this topic.
Since I may not have the appropriate resources for what I want, does anyone have suggestion of one that will give me an overview of the Minor Prophets including a list of kingdom prophecies? Hopefully something not too expensive?
Have a great day,
jmac
