God treated them equally , they are called major and minor prophets according to their books.
Answer 1By studying the minor prophets you can gain a better picture of how God dealt with His people and learn about God's nature and character. A common theme of these prophets is God's desire for Israel to turn to Him and respond to His warnings.Answer 2The only difference between the minor and greater prophets is that the minor prophets say less. Their prophecies are no less valid or important. Therefore, any value you can get out of studying the greater prophets can be applied to studying the minor prophets.

The minor prophets (minor because their books are short, while the major prophets books are long).
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.
In the Bible, the distinction between Major and Minor Prophets is based on the length of the prophetic books rather than the significance of the prophets themselves. Daniel is considered a Major Prophet not necessarily because of his qualifications, but because his book is longer and more extensive in content compared to the books of the Minor Prophets. Similarly, Hosea and Zechariah are classified as Minor Prophets because their prophetic books are shorter in length. Each prophet was called by God to deliver His message to the people, regardless of their classification as Major or Minor Prophets.
