WHY isn’t Elijah on this list???
Thank you! I have looked at three different sites/lists now and he’s not on any of them. How odd!
Elijah not mentioned probably because there is no biblical book of Elijah. Elisha, all the prophets of Judges, etc, not mentioned either.
This list seems to be the chronological order of biblical book titled by the relevant prophet
