Prophets of God
I am going to skip some cards and come back to them because of the long time period this covers. The prophets of God took place from around 740 B.C. to 433 B.C.
God gave prophets to Israel to warn them of the consequences of their sin, should they persist in their rebellion. The prophets were people who spoke for God. God gave them His clear word, and they would communicate that word to the Israelites.
Prophets had two categories; major and minor. Here is a list of some of the prophets:
Joel, who prophesied to the Northern Kingdom around 835 B.C.
The king at that time was Joash, who was only a boy.
Hosea, who prophesied to the Northern Kingdom around 760-720 B.C.
The king during this time was Jeroboam II. Hosea prophesied through the reign of Hoshea.
Amos, who prophesied to the Northern Kingdom around 760 B.C.
The king at this time was Jeroboam II.
Micah, who prophesied to the Northern Kingdom around 737 - 690 B.C.
He was prophesying along with Isaiah.
Isaiah, a major prophet who prophesied around 739 B.C., whose prophesy was mainly given to Judah, which was the Southern Kingdom.
Nahum, who prophesied against Ninevah around 650 B.C. Jonah had prophesied in Ninevah about 200 years prior to Nahum.
Zephaniah, who prophesied around 640 B.C., against Judah.
This took place during the reign of Josiah.
Habakkuk, who was concerned about God's justice. The wicked Babylonians were about to destroy Judah. This occurred around 609 B.C.
