Minor Prophets

We're already starting to jump time with great frequency, and events are going to get more frenetic as we begin to read the Minor Prophets (as well as the Major ones). As is my wont in situations like this, here's a timeline of the Minor Prophets,  when they prophesied and who their intended audience was. I've tagged it "Timeline" so that you can easily refer to it in the future in the LABELS tab about halfway down the right side of the page as you wish.


Jonah  770 B.C.  to Ninevah
Amos  760 to Israel
Hosea  760 - 730    to Israel
Isaiah  740 - 700  to Judah
Micah  737 - 690  to Judah
Habakkuk   630 to Judah
Zephaniah    627 to Judah
Jeremiah  627 - 580  to Judah
Daniel  605 - 530  to Judah
Ezekiel  593 - 570  to Judah
Nahum  593 - 570  to Ninevah
Haggai  520 to Judah
Zechariah  520 - 518  to Judah
Joel  500 to Judah
Obadiah  500 to Edom
Malachi  433 B.C.  to Judah 

Our Chronological Study Bible suggests that Amos was the first of the Minor Prophets, and it very well might be. We'll be spending the next 3+ months (the remainder of the Old Testament, at which time salvation unto us will come, in more ways than one...) in the prophecy section of the Bible. On the down side, some of it might be difficult to understand at times, but on the up side, it won't be 2 Kings.
