Minor prophet books were shorter, but definitely just as important as the major prophet books like Isaiah and Jeremiah. The problem with prophets…then and now is that you can always find a “prophet” who tells you what you want to hear. Old Testament prophets were preachers who said what God told them to. They motivated God’s people in the present more than predicting the future. And they were more concerned about revealing God than future events.
