Prophetic literature refers to a genre of writing found primarily in the Bible, particularly in the Old Testament. It includes the messages and visions of prophets, who were believed to be chosen by God to convey divine guidance, warnings, and predictions about the future. Key books in this genre include Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. These texts often address social justice, moral behavior, and the consequences of turning away from God. Prophetic literature serves to inspire faith, encourage repentance, and provide hope for restoration, emphasizing the relationship between the divine and humanity throughout history.
