A Brief Overview Of The Old Testament Prophets
The history of the rise and fall of the Hebrew nation are
found in the history books (Genesis-Esther). The prophets
appeared during the days of the fall of the Hebrew nation.
At the moment of the apostasy of the 10 tribes at the close
of Solomon`s reign and Israel`s golden age the ministry of
the prophets began. The prophets gave a wake up call as
soon as people began to forget God.
