The Hebrews came to the earth flowing with milk and honey, as God had promised. To keep the Word of God in effect, the Lord is choosing people to be His emissaries, acting as prophets. They are men of great intimacy with God, for they hear his instructions and sometimes repressions and pass them over to the people. But the rebelliousness, since more than 3 thousand years ago, already accompanied the Jews.
In Deuteronomy, chapter 31, verse 14, the Lord announces to Moses that he will soon die and asks him to call Joshua in the Tent of Meeting, as will be the case after his departure for Glory. In this conversation, God warns Joshua that the Israelite people will embrace corruption, worshiping strange gods, forgetting the Lord. Because of this, many tragedies will strike them.
It is in this style that God will come in contact with the prophets in the following centuries until the day comes when Jesus Christ will be sent into this world to make the perfect sacrifice. Something no man, since Adam, has been able to do, because of sin. Christ was the perfect lamb without any blemish. Used by God to defeat Satan forever.
In these centuries until the birth of Jesus Christ, in the year 1 of our era, no one could get in touch with God except through the prophets. There were those whose books are in the holy scriptures (Zephaniah, Haggai, Malachi, Samuel, Obadiah, Joel, Isaiah, Micah, Nahum, Daniel, Hosea, Ezekiel, Habakkuk and Jeremiah, Joshua, Nehemiah among others) and the anonymous ones , but which served as channels with God.
