Elijah was neither a Major Prophet nor a Minor Prophet. The Major Prophets are Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. The Minor Prophets are Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. Each of these prophets has a book in The Bible named for him. (The minor prophetic books also include Daniel, Baruch, and Lamentations. The Book of Daniel contains prophesy, but Daniel did not occupy a public prophetic office. Baruch served as an assistant to the prophet Jeremiah. Lamentations laments the loss of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar.)
Elijah, however, served prominently as prophet of God Most High. Although Elijah the prophet left no written records, the great and almost unparalleled miracles and other occurrences involving him did not go unrecorded but appear prominently in 1 Kings 17--21 and 2 Kings 1--3. Elijah also occurs by name or by reference throughout later books of the Old Testament and several times prominently in the Gospels.

Nehemiah is not considered a prophet in the same way as other figures in the Hebrew Bible. He was instead a historical figure and a leader who played a key role in the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile.

∙ 13y agoNeither. The terms "Major Prophet" or "Minor Prophet" refers to the length of prophetic books found in the Old Testament. So in strict terms prophets (the people) aren't classified as "major" or "minor". While Samuel was a prophet, the two books that bear his name: 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel are not classified as prophetic books (they contain more of a narrative of the history and events during Samuel's lifetime).
Thus Samuel is neither a major or minor prophet, and neither is Isaiah. However, the book of Isaiah being a lengthy prophetic book is considered a "Major Prophet".

A minor prophet.Additional Comment:Perfectly correct answer.My point is that God calls people to be a Prophet and doesn't classify them as major or minor.
