The Major Prophets are 'ahead' of the Minor Prophets only because of the length of their books. Their specific messages are not any more important than those of the the Minor Prophets; they simply have longer inspired, canonical messages. Some of the Minor Prophets, particularly Amos, lived before such Major Prophets as Jeremiah. The Book of the Prophet Isaiah also apparently comprises the oracles and messages of three prophets in succession, contributing to its length.Open in Google Docs ViewerOpen link in new tabOpen link in new windowOpen link in new incognito windowDownload fileCopy link addressEdit PDF File on PDFescape.com
There is no specific number mentioned in religious texts. Different prophets are associated with different messages and teachings that have been written down by their followers in various books and scriptures.
These books in the Old Testament are called the Prophets. There are the major prophets and the minor prophets. The major prophets are: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel. The minor prophets are: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. The Major Prophets are called "major" because their books are longer and the content has wide, even global implications. The Minor Prophets are called "minor" because their books are shorter and the content is more narrowly focused.

Both major and minor prophets were chosen by God to deliver His word to the people.
