Jews regard the Book of Daniel as a Book of History, but Christians categorise it as a Major Prophets book. Biblical scholars say that the book was really written in the second century BCE and contains no genuine prophecies. Biblical scholars say Daniel was not a real person.

Elijah was neither a Major Prophet nor a Minor Prophet. The Major Prophets are Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel.

(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

what qualified Daniel to be with the major prophets and Hosea and Zechariah to be minor prophets?

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.
