Just how many prophets were contemporaries with Lehi and where were they?

 

Northern Israel had already been destroyed, so all of Lehi’s contemporaries would have been in the southern kingdom of Judah. We don’t have exact years for all of these prophets’ lives, but it is likely that Lehi was a contemporary of: 

 

  1. Jeremiah
  2. Nahum
  3. Zephaniah
  4. Habakkuk
  5. Obadiah 
  6. Teenage Nephi
  7. Teenage Daniel
  8. Teenage Ezekiel (source)
