The Old Testament tells us about these holy servants of God and some of them have been immortalized through the various Books of the Scriptures that bear their name. Of the Prophets whose names are used as titles of the Books they, their followers or some scribe or writer, have written, there are four [4] who are considered as major prophets and twelve [12] called minor prophets according to the length of the Books that bear their names.
