The Bible is simply a love letter compiled into sixty-six books and written over a period of sixteen hundred years by more than forty authors living on three continents. Although the authors came from different backgrounds, there is one message, one theme, one thread that runs throughout the entire Bible from the first book, Genesis, to the last book, Revelation. That message is Gods redeeming love for mankind-a message that is as relevant for us today as it was two thousand years ago.The five books of The Major Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel) cover a significant time span and present a wide array of messages. Isaiah spoke to the nation of Judah about 150 years before their exile into Babylonia and called them to be faithful to God. Jeremiah cried out to those same people on the brink of that exile and pleaded for their repentance. Lamentations, written by Jeremiah, presents a dirge as Judah went into exile. The last two major prophets, Ezekiel and Daniel, spoke and wrote to the people in exile, encouraging them to remember that God was still in control and would eventually restore the spiritual fortunes of His disciplined nation.Three of these five books are quite long, and all of them can, at times, be difficult to understand. However, the time and effort invested in striving to understand these writings will pay huge dividends. It has been said that no other section of the Bible offers such a majestic and highly exalted picture of God. His sovereignty is mind-boggling. His glory is breathtaking. And in reading these books, our faith finds new depths of confidence.Get ready to meet the God of the prophecies and to be amazed at the prophecies of God as they unfold in these first five prophetical books.
