The term "Major Prophets" refers to a group of five books in the Bible that are attributed to significant prophetic figures. These books include Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel. They are called "major" not because they are more important than other prophets, but because they are longer in length. These prophets delivered messages from God to the people of Israel and surrounding nations, addressing issues like sin, judgment, and hope for restoration. Their writings contain visions, prophecies, and teachings that have had a lasting impact on Judeo-Christian beliefs and traditions.
