Minor Prophets

The Minor Prophets are like a collection of short stories found in the Bible. Each story is written by a different person called a prophet, who was like a messenger from God. These prophets lived a long time ago, but they had important messages to share with the people of their time.

Even though they’re called “minor,” these prophets aren’t any less important than the other prophets in the Bible. The name simply refers to the fact that their books are shorter than some of the others.

These stories are about God’s love for his people and how he wants them to live good lives. They also warn about the consequences of not following God’s ways. Sometimes the prophets spoke about events that were happening in their time, like wars or natural disasters. Other times, they talked about things that would happen in the future.

Each prophet had their own style and way of speaking. Some wrote poems, while others told stories or used vivid imagery. But they all had the same goal: to help people understand God’s message and live according to his will.

Reading the Minor Prophets is like taking a journey through history and learning about the challenges and triumphs of God’s people. It’s also a reminder that God is always with us, guiding and protecting us, even when times are tough.
