The Prophets Crying Out the Word of God
In-class review timeline on bottom of page 147 • Examine oldest known portrait of an Israelite on page 148 • As the kingdoms of Israel & Judah declined, prophets came forth to warn the people that they needed to follow God’s law: stop paying tribute to foreigners, stop fighting each other, worshiping foreign gods, etc. • “Non-writing prophets”: prophets whose messages were written down by others, not by themselves
The four “non-writing prophets” were: Samuel, Nathan both of whom we’ve met already; and Elijah and Elisha whom we’ll met shortly • The “writing prophets” are so-called because they have separate books of the Bible named for them: Amos, Hosea, Isaiah and Micah: • Amos was a herdsman • Hosea was a betrayed husband • Isaiah a counselor of kings • Micah was a devotee of the poor
