Los cinco libros de Los Profetas Mayores (Isaías, Jeremías, Lamentaciones, Ezequiel Y Daniel)cubren un período significativo y presentan una amplia serie de mensajes. Isaías habló a la nación de Judá alrededor de 150 años antes de su exilio a Babilonia y les hizo un llamado para ser fieles a Dios. Jeremías clamó a ese mismo pueblo cuando estaban al borde del exilio, implorándoles por su arrepentimiento. Lamentaciones, escrito por Jeremías, presenta un canto fúnebre al ir Judá al exilio. Los dos últimos profetas mayores, Ezequiel y Daniel, hablaron y escribie- ron para el pueblo en el exilio, animándolos a recordar que Dios seguía aún en control y que finalmente restauraría la fortuna espiritual de Su disciplinada nación.Tres de estos cinco libros son bastante extensos y a veces, todos ellos, pueden ser difíciles de entender. Sin embargo, la dedicación en tiempo y esfuerzo para tratar de entender estos escritos pagará grandes dividendos. Se ha dicho que ninguna otra sección en la Biblia ofrece una figura de Dios tan majestuosa y altamente exaltada. Su soberanía es increíble, Su gloria es impresionante, y leyendo estos libros, nuestra fe encuentra nuevos niveles más profundos de confianza.
