What's in a Name? The Prophets

Looking through one of my Bibles the other night I saw these definitions for the major and minor prophets, in the old testament. They were in red writing/brackets under the name of the book. I found the definitions amazing especially in light of the prophecies and teachings they gave.

Isaiah - Jehovah is salvation
Jeremiah - Jehovah Exalts
Ezekiel - God Strengthens
Daniel - God is Judge
Joel - Jehovah is God
Amos - Burden Bearer
Obadiah - Servant of Jehovah
Jonah - Like a Dove
Micah - Who is like Jehovah?
Nahum - Compassionate
Habbakuk - Wrestle with Doubt, Embrace
Zephaniah - Hidden of the Lord
Haggai - Festival of the Lord
Zechariah - God remembers
Malachi - Messenger of the Lord


Do you have the definitions for any of the other prophets?

Blessings
Dave

Yes, there are countless more Dave. I find it interesting that the Hebrew names all had a very special meaning. And it makes very interesting reading when you substitute the meaning of a name in the place of a name when you are reading it. Perhaps I will post some examples later in another thread.
