God… spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets.
Holy men of God spake
as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Beginning at Moses and all the prophets.
The major prophets are the long books of the prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel. Lamentations is Jeremiah’s. They are major by length, not by rank. God spoke by them. They named judgment, the captivity, the Messiah, and the day of the Lord. Isaiah saw the throne and the Servant. Jeremiah named the seventy years. Ezekiel spoke by the river Chebar. Daniel read the years and saw the kingdoms. The minor prophets are the shorter books. The word is the same.
