Prophetic Authors I, II and III concentrate on what are normally called the Latter Prophets. Many of the pre-exile prophets concentrated on verbal prophecies, and were only recorded for posterity due to the faithfulness of the Scribes, who tried to record as much information as possible. But few of them, except for Moses, felt any leading to write down their prophecies for posterity. Their prophetic ministries were largely situational, and once the prophecy had been given, the prophet was on his way, moving to the next situation or location God required of them. As the Prophetic Office began to mature, it became obvious that these messages needed to go beyond merely verbal delivery, and so prophets began to either write down their revelations or have others associated with their ministries, such as Baruch, write them down for them. Fortunately for us, once Israel and Judah were threatened with destruction and deportation, it suddenly became very important to write prophetic messages down, so that the exiles could read them even in another land, and so that God's faithfulness to bring both judgment and restoration could be measured and established as accurate and true.
