Prophets set in the time of the Kingdoms: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah
Throughout these events, God was warning, reminding and imploring the people to change their behaviours through messengers, the prophets. The prophets were critical of not only incorrect religious practices, but of social practices as well as people became greedy, self-centred and dismissive of the needs of others.
Prophets set in the Exile: Ezekiel, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi
These last few texts all come towards the end of the Old Testament narrative, lamenting the loss of Jerusalem and then looking forward to the time when Israel/Judah would be restored. They don’t really add anything to our narrative, but rather ‘flesh out’ the experiences of the people as they go through their time of exile and hope for return.
