Prophets Chronological List

February 1, 2021 by Krisan Marotta

Chronological List of Old Testament Prophets | WednesdayintheWord.com

Prophets enforced the covenant between God and His People. Many people in Scripture prophesy occasionally but not all who do so hold the office of prophet. Therefore, scholars count the prophets differently.
