Was Nehemiah a major or minor prophet?

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.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
