What’s the Difference Between the Major Prophets and Minor Prophets?

Are the major prophets more important than the minor prophets? That’s a common question asked and the answer is clear: not at a all. The division between Major and Minor Prophets is very old and was based strictly on the length of the books. Since biblical books were written on scrolls, they had a size limit. Because the writings of all twelve Minor Prophets fi t well on one scroll, they became one unit. Apart from being shorter, the Minor Prophets are the same type of prophetic literature as the Major Prophets.

5 Main Reasons Why You (and your small group) Should Study the Major Prophets:

Why should Christians today read, study, and be concerned with the message of each of these books?

• They anticipate the coming of the Messiah, who has saved us from evil, made a new relationship possible between God and us, and given us a new heart.
• They call God’s people to trust in God’s care and provision and remind us that he is able and willing to come through for us.
• They call God’s people to repent from ignoring, challenging, and disobeying God.
• Their words and actions instruct us about the ways in which God deals with his people.
• By seeing the world from God’s perspective and understanding the ways in which God deals with his people, we become better equipped to discern our times and understand God’s will for the church today.
