Old Testament Minor Prophets Mnemonic
Jun 22nd, 2008 by Ben
I can never remember the order of the ‘minor’ prophets in the Old Testament. And looking a book of the Bible up using the contents page, whilst at theological college, is not the best look ; ).
Here’s a mnemonic I’m finding helpful as I preach through Jonah (and thus have a good reason to finally learn the order):
“How jaded are our juvenile minds, never having zeal, having zero motivation.”
Catchy, if a bit negative.
And here are the books in order, for practice:
Hosea
Joel
Amos
Obadiah
Jonah
Micah
Nahum
Habakkuk
Zephaniah
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi
