For the sake of finishing our discipline of scripture memory through the Bible within the year, we will not include all of the prophets.
While each of the prophetic books is significant in it's own right, we find they all pretty much have the same basic ingredients: (1) warning of impending judgment because of the nations’ sinfulness; (2) a description of the sin; (3) a warning of the coming judgment; (4) a call for repentance; and/or (5) a promise of future deliverance.
The twelve books referred to as "minor prophets" are minor only in that they are each much shorter than the prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel (called “major prophets”).
Ultimately, God’s purposes would be fulfilled by the sovereign work of God in the lives of His people.
