ACROSS
1   A prophet who predicts the impending destruction of Nineveh and salvation of Judah
3   Hosea's wife

10   One way which people in the ancient world understood that gods communicated with people
11   The prophet who interpreted dreams, had a lion's den experience and wrote about three men who did not die when they were thrown into a roaring fire
12   The prophet of Pentecost; he forsees the outpouring of God's Spirit on all people
13   In saying that several foreign nations will be judged for their hostility toward God and His people, this prophet speaks much of "the Day of the Lord"
15   The shortest book in the Old Testament who says that God will punish the people of Edom; he forsees that God will ultimately bring an end to hatred and pride in the world
16   The missionary book of the Old Testament which closes with God's speech in which God asks the prophet if He should not show concern for the people of Nineveh; God's compassion for a sinful world is a key theme in this book
