The biblical books of Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel, and 1 and 2 Kings make up the former prophets. These books give a broad sweep of ancient Israel’s history, from Joshua going to the Promised Land all the way to the captivity of Israel and Judah. The name “former prophets” is deceptive—they are actually the earlier prophets, but still prophets with a prophetic message for us today. These books are not merely history.
God is determined that we understand the former prophets in this end time just before Jesus Christ returns. Christ is our chief cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20). What does He have to say about the former prophets?
