Prophets, Next...

I do intend to finish the story we left off, halfway through, with 2 Kings 18 etc...

But I see we've already reached Isaiah, putting us out of strict chronological order.

That order is a bit elusive, and I'm not a competent authority on it. Trying to google this, I get chronologies by Swedenborg and a group of atheists... which are actually in fair agreement so far as they overlap.

I am proposing (& open to correction) that after we finish Isaiah's first appearance here, we go on in this order:

Jonah (fictitious but quite relevant to prophecy in general)
Amos
Hosea
Joel
Obadiah
Micah
Isaiah
Nahum
Habakkuk
Zephaniah
Jeremiah
Ezekiel
Daniel (fictitious, later, but set about this time)
Isaiah (2nd etc)
Haggai
Zechariah
Malachi.

Suggested changes?

Fair enough. We could easily speak up and try to put passages in context if we do encounter reasons from specific texts in Kings and Isaiah to think that specific passages speak to earlier or later times.
