Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between major and minor prophets?+

The division is based on the length and scope of their written prophecies, not their importance. The Major Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel) have longer, more detailed books, while the Minor Prophets (Hosea through Malachi) have shorter prophecies. All prophets were equally important in God's plan and message.

How did the prophets receive God's messages?+

The prophets received God's messages through various means including visions (seeing images or scenes), dreams, audible voices, and symbolic sign acts. The phrase 'the word of the Lord came to' a prophet indicated direct divine communication. These experiences were understood as genuine encounters with God's Spirit.

What time period did the Old Testament prophets minister?+

The Old Testament prophets ministered across several centuries, from the 9th century BC (early prophets like Elijah and Elisha) through the 5th century BC (later prophets like Malachi). The writing prophets whose books are included in the Bible primarily ministered between the 8th and 5th centuries BC, spanning the Assyrian captivity of Israel and the Babylonian captivity of Judah.
