However, Amos and other prophets include Israel as an enemy of God, as Israel is guilty of injustice toward the innocent, poor, and young women.

Jeroboam's reign was also the period of the prophets Hosea, Joel, Jonah and Amos, all of whom condemned the materialism and selfishness of the Israelite elite of their day: " Woe unto those who lie upon beds of ivory ... eat lambs from the flock and calves ... sing idle songs ..." The book of Kings, written a century later condemns Jeroboam for doing " evil in the eyes of the Lord ", meaning both the oppression of the poor and his continuing support of the cult centres of Dan and Bethel, in opposition to the temple in Jerusalem.

The earliest mentions are in the prophets Amos ( possibly ) and Hosea ( certainly ), both active in 8th century BCE Israel ; in contrast Proto-Isaiah and Micah, both active in Judah at much the same time, never do ; it thus seems reasonable to conclude that the Exodus tradition was important in the northern kingdom in the 8th century, but not in Judah.

The answers were recorded in the works of the prophets Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Second Isaiah, and in the Deuteronomistic history, the collection of historical works from Joshua to Kings: God had not abandoned Israel ; Israel had abandoned God, and the Babylonian exile was God's punishment for Israel's lack of faith.

While most prophets had heroic names ( e. g., Isaiah means " God has saved "), Jonah's name carries with it an element of passivity.

Rava states in the Babylonian Talmud that although Ezekiel describes the appearance of the throne of God ( Merkabah ), this is not because he had seen more than the prophet Isaiah, but rather because the latter was more accustomed to such visions ; for the relation of the two prophets is that of a courtier to a peasant, the latter of whom would always describe a royal court more floridly than the former, to whom such things would be familiar.

Jews and Christians consider the Book of Isaiah a part of their Biblical canon ; he is the first listed ( although not the earliest ) of the neviim akharonim, the latter prophets.

The term " Minor " relates to the length of each book ( ranging from a single chapter to fourteen ); even the longest is short compared to the three major prophets, Isaiah, Ezekiel and Jeremiah.

The name Emmanuel ( from the Hebrew words: א ֵ ל ’ El, i. e. ' God ' and ע ִ מ ָּ נו ּ i. e. ʻImmānū, ' with us ') is related to Isaiah 7: 14 and is one of almost a dozen cases in his Gospel where while discussing Jesus as the fulfillment of prophecies, Matthew points back to one of the prophets.

Let Marcion then exhibit, as gifts of his god, some prophets, such as have not spoken by human sense, but with the Spirit of God, such as have both predicted things to come, and have made manifest the secrets of the heart ; let him produce a psalm, a vision, a prayer -- only let it be by the Spirit, in an ecstasy, that is, in a rapture, whenever an interpretation of tongues has occurred to him ; let him show to me also, that any woman of boastful tongue in his community has ever prophesied from amongst those specially holy sisters of his.

The New Testament addresses the same point of a false prophet predicting correctly and Jesus predicted the future appearance of false prophets, affirming that they can perform great signs and miracles.

Deane and J. R. Thomson write this valid conclusion, “ The Book of Obadiah is occupied with one subject – the punishment of Edom for its cruel and unbrotherly love conduct towards Judah ...” One can link this idea of punishment to one of the major prophets “ Ezekiel ” who “... interprets the exile to Babylon and the destruction of Jerusalem as deserved punishments for the sins of those who themselves committed them .” Verses 3-7 in Obadiah explain to the reader the reason for the punishment theme, “ Confidence in one ’ s power, intelligence, allies, or the topographical features of one ’ s territory is often mentioned as an attribute of those who foolishly confront the Lord and are consequently punished .” Although destruction is vital to understanding Obadiah, it is of note to understand the destruction being a consequence of action.
