Hosea was a prophet of God in the Bible. His book is the first of the twelve Minor Prophets in the Old Testament. As a contemporary of the prophet Isaiah, Hosea ministered primarily to the northern kingdom of Israel in the eighth century BC, during the reigns of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah of Judah, and Jeroboam II of Israel (Hosea 1:1). Such a lengthy ministry—60 or 70 years—makes Hosea one of the longest-serving prophets in the Bible
Thanks for the twelve reference a word used throughout to signify the full authority of God .

Do the new testament prophets represent the major prophets as a witness to what you call minor ?

- For me, there is no difference!
- A prophet of Yah.weh is aprophet of Yah.weh!

- Four Truths About the Minor Prophets - - Clear Creek Resources​

Thus, the minor prophets, twelve books in all, are named so because they are comparatively short, not because they are of lesser importance. The major and minor prophets are collectively known in the Hebrew Bible as the Latter Prophets (or Writing Prophets, because they authored their own works).

- Major prophet - Wikipedia​


What is the difference between major and minor prophets?

The term "major" has nothing to do with the achievement or importance of the prophets, rather with the length of the books. In comparison to the books of the Twelve Minor Prophets, whose books are short and grouped together into one single book in the Hebrew Bible, these books are much longer.


- A Commentary on the Book of the Twelve: The Minor Prophets​


What do the minor prophets have in common?

At the very least, these books all share the same interest in judgment resulting from the broken Sinai covenant, as well as the hope of future restoration in a new covenant relationship.26 jun 2018

Sorry about the rambling it helps me think . I think LOL

I was thinking more of twelve being used to represent the whole or the authority of whatsoever is in view in a parables.Twelve tribes, twelve loafs, twelve apostles ,twelve wells of water, twelve pillars etc

I would think if any division it would be from the old testaments prophets and new.The time of the first century reformation came.The end of KIngs in Israel a pagan foundation . Restoring the order of Judges prophets sent out with the gospel as apostles. . prophets men and women from all the nations of the world spoken of in Joel repeated in Acts.

The gospel explosion Jew and Gentile prophets declaring prophesying the good news as one Christian bride.

Acts 2: 15-17 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

The old signified testament after Elijah who was and then was not there . . a picture of the rapture on the last day under the Sun ,

Possibly the transfer with John as the key called the greatest

John 1:21-23 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias

(Or as said the word of God using Elias to signify represent the power of the word )

Mathew 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Mathew 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

All the prophets and the law or the prophets that bring the book of the law the Bible God's living word

Moses used to represent the law and Elisa to represent the prophets again together represent the word (singular) of God (sola scriptura) the armor of God

Peter errored, he attributed the two witnesses that declared God has spoken (prophecy )

Peter looking to venerate thier flesh not understanding the parable.

Many times "to the law and prophets" or to Elisa and Moses used to indicate the living word of God as witnessed of two .the one good witness of God .And it was very good.

Matthew 17 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. .

In Isaiah 8 there were some that tried to commune with dead relatives or highly honorable sinners using a idol image like that of Rachel who hid it from her father.

Below the word Seek necromancy (Hebrew Dardash) is used in two ways like a two sided coin one side God the pther ceasre inspiration of the god of this world .
Seeking our Father in heaven or seeking after disembodied workers of familiar spirit god's earthly inspired of the devil

There he brings in the law signified by Moses and Elisa the prophets . calling the two. . . the light of the gospel . .sola scriptura (No patron disembodied saints)

Isaiah 8: 19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?To the law (Moses) and to the testimony:(prophets Elisa ) if they speak not according to this word,(one) it is because there is no light in them

.
- They had the prophets, we have God's word!
- But they keep turning the Bible into a hamburger people go to the fastfood to buy!
- When we look at the world today, it is like Israel in the past!
- Israel used to going wrong, the world is used doing it now!
- Completely away from Yah.weh!
- A dead end!
- So many religions for a dead end!
- They don't come from Yah.weh!
- Like in the past!
- Human cooking!
- Not Yah.weh's table!
- Who is studying the Bible regularly and daily?
