Ancient Prophets Study Worksheet
Read: Prophets and their world
Ancient Israel and Judah were small kingdoms in the eastern Mediterranean region. Their neighbours included powerful empires such as Assyria and Babylon. People known as prophets spoke publicly about religious and community life. They warned rulers and ordinary people when they believed society was acting wrongly. Many prophetic messages criticised unfair treatment of the poor, dishonest trade, and leaders who abused their power. Some also challenged people who performed religious ceremonies but ignored justice in everyday life. Prophets did not all speak in the same way: Amos is associated with demands for justice, Hosea used marriage as a metaphor for a relationship with God, and Jeremiah is often called the “weeping prophet”. Isaiah’s writings include the image of a “suffering servant”. Assyria conquered the northern kingdom of Israel in 722 BCE. Later, Babylon conquered Judah and destroyed Jerusalem’s temple in 586 BCE. These events brought political upheaval and displacement. Prophetic writings help historians investigate beliefs and concerns in the ancient world, though they are religious texts and should be read with that context in mind.
