Replacing The Hall of Presidents, The Hall of Prophets will be a great new audio animatronics show at Miracle Kingdom at Bible World. The show building will be updated to reflect more of an ancient auditorium that fits in well with the nearby The Haunted Palace. Prophets are messengers of God. God has called these people throughout history—both in the New Testament and the Old Testament. This show will focus on the Old Testament prophets. The prophets are grouped into two sets—the 4 major prophets and the 12 minor prophets. The distinction is based primarily on how long their book is in the Old Testament. The 4 Major Prophets are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel. They will be the main speakers in the show, and also the ones with the most personality. A lot of the show writes itself with quotes from their writings. The show will progress from warnings of Israel to prophecies that get fulfilled by Jesus to prophecies of the Holy Spirit. Warnings of Israel Jonah: “‘Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed,’ when the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small put on sackcloth…When God saw by their actions how they turned by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out” (3:4b-5, 10). Amos: “‘Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord God, “When I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water, But rather for hearing the words of the Lord” (8:11). Baruch: “Israel…you have forsaken the fountain of wisdom! Had you walked in the way of God, you would have dwelt in enduring peace. Learn where prudence is, where strength, where understanding; that you may know also where are length of days, and life, where light of the eyes, and peace” (3:12-14). Hosea: “Return, O Israel, to the LORD, your God; you have collapsed through your guilt…Straight are the paths of the LORD, in them the just walk, but sinners stumble in them” (14:2, 10). Obadiah: “On Mount Zion there shall be a portion saved; the mountains shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall take possession of those that dispossessed them” (v. 17). Nahum: “See, upon the mountains there advances the bearer of good news, announcing peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah, fulfill your vows!…The LORD will restore the vine of Jacob, the pride of Israel” (2:1a, 3a). Prophecies of Jesus Haggai: “Greater will be the future glory of this house than the former, says the LORD of hosts; and in this place I will give peace, says the LORD of hosts” (2:9). Micah: “But you Bethlehem-Ephrathah, too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel; whose origin is from of old, from ancient times” (5:1). Zephaniah: “Show for joy, O daughter Zion! Sing joyfully, O Israel! Be glad and exult with all your heart, O daughter Jerusalem!…The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a mighty savior” (3:14, 17a) Zechariah: “Rejoice heartily, O daughter Zion, shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem! See, your king shall come to you; a just savior is he, meek and riding on [a donkey], on a colt, the foal of [a donkey]…His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth” (9:9-10). Isaiah: “See, my servant shall prosper, he shall be raised high and greatly exalted. Even as many were amazed at him—so marred were his features, beyond that of mortals his appearance, beyond that of human beings...He had no majestic bearing to catch our eye, no beauty to draw us to him. He was spurned and avoided by men, a man of suffering, knowing pain, Like one from whom you turn your face, spurned, and we held him in no esteem. Yet it was our pain that he bore, our sufferings he endured. We thought of him as stricken, struck down by God and afflicted, But he was pierced for our sins, crushed for our iniquity. He bore the punishment that makes us whole, by his wounds we were healed. We had all gone astray like sheep, all following our own way; But the LORD laid upon him the guilt of us all. Though harshly treated, he submitted and did not open his mouth; Like a lamb led to slaughter or a sheep silent before shearers, he did not open his mouth. Seized and condemned, he was taken away. Who would have thought any more of his destiny? For he was cut off from the land of the living, struck for the sins of his people. He was given a grave among the wicked, a burial place with evildoers, Though he had done no wrong, nor was deceit found in his mouth. But it was the LORD’s will to crush him with pain...My servant, the just one, shall justify the many, their iniquity he shall bear. Therefore I will give him his portion among the many, and he shall divide the spoils with the mighty, Because he surrendered himself to death, was counted among the transgressors, Bore the sins of many, and interceded for the transgressors” (52:13-14; 53:2b-10a; 53:11b-12). Malachi: “There will arise the sun of justice with its healing with its healing rays” (3:20b). Habbakkuk: “The just man, because of his faith shall live” (2:4). Prophecies of the Holy Spirit Joel: “I will pour out my spirit on all mankind” (3:1). Ezekiel: “I will take you away from among the nations, gather you from all the foreign lands, and bring you back to your own land. I will sprinkle clean water upon you to cleanse you from all your impurities, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. I will give you a new heart and place a new spirit within you, taking from your stony hearts and giving you natural hearts. I will put my spirit within you and make you live by my statutes, careful to observe my decrees. You shall live in the land I gave your fathers; you shall be my people, and I will be your God” (37:24-28). Daniel: “The wise shall shine brightly like the splendor of the firmament. And those who lead the many to justice shall be like the stars forever” (12:3). Jeremiah: “The days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers the day I took them by the hand to lead them forth from the land of Egypt…But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD. I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my people…All, from least to greatest, shall know me, says the LORD” (31:31-34a).
