The first part of Chapter Three describes the spiritual abundance that will be granted to the entire nation, which comes as a continuation of to the material abundance from the end of Chapter Two. Chapter Three moves on to describe the Day of the Lord, its aftermath, and the salvation that will come to those who call out to God. 

In Chapter Four the prophet expands and interprets the vision of the Day of the Lord which was described in Chapter Three. The Day of the Lord is described as a day of judgment which will come to the natons of the world as retributon for the harm which they caused to Israel. Calamity befalls the opressors, but those dwelling in Zion are promised security and salvation.

The study guide includes explanations, guided questions, and an appendix about the Valley of Yehoshafat.
