Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the major prophets and minor prophets?+

The division is based on the length of their written books, not the importance of their messages. The major prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel) have longer books, while the minor prophets (the remaining twelve) have shorter books. Both groups delivered crucial messages from God to Israel and the nations.

Did Old Testament prophets always predict the future?+

No, while some prophecies concerned future events, many prophets primarily delivered messages about present conditions, calling people to repentance, judgment, or faithfulness. Prophecy in the Old Testament involved forth-telling (declaring God's will) as much as foretelling (predicting future events).

How did people know if a prophet was speaking God's truth?+

God provided tests for true prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:22, stating that if a prophet's predictions did not come to pass, the person was not speaking God's word. Additionally, true prophets' messages would align with God's character and previously revealed Scripture, and their lives would demonstrate genuine faith in God.
