The Prophets

The prophets can be some of the least-read and least-understood books in the Bible. They can feel strange,

intense, uncomfortable, and hard to understand. But the prophets were not just men who predicted the

future. They were men who refused to edit the truth. They spoke for God during seasons when God’s

people were drifting, compromising, ignoring truth, and refusing to repent. Their messages were often

hard, but their purpose was not to push people away from God. Their purpose was to call people back to

God. The prophets remind us that God does not stay silent when His people drift. His warnings are not

proof that He is done with us. His warnings prove He loves us enough to come after us.
