  • Nahum1 Mb Final
    “The one thing I ask of the Lord - the thing I seek most - is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in his temple.” Psalm 27:4 DELIGHTING in the LORD BIBLE STUDY SERIES Introduction to Nahum DELIGHTING IN THE LORD WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY Author: There is not much known about the prophet Nahum other than he came from the town of Capernaum. “Naum” means Nahum and “Caper” means town. So “Town of Nahum” is its name (Ido Keynan). Nahum was also a prophet of God. He prophesied the fall of Nineveh, which happened in 612 BC. It is believed that Nahum was living in Judah during the reign of Manasseh (695-642) and Josiah (640-609). His name means “comfort” or “compassion”. Nahum’s words would not have been a comfort to Nineveh but they most certainly would have been to Judah and others who suffered persecution from the Assyrians. Date and Location The book of Nahum is believed to be written between 663-612 BC. Bible Knowledge Commen- tary says that “Because Nahum does not mention the Medes or Babylonians, he probably wrote this prophecy before 645 BC. In Nahum 3:8-10 the historical event of Thebes’ captivity (Capital of Upper Egypt) by Ashurbanipal of Assyria in 663 BC is mentioned as a past event. This helps to date the prophecy. It had to have been written after 663 BC. King Josiah was most likely the King of Judah during the time of Nahum’s prophecy.

  • Nahum Background
    (7) Minor Prophets, jrg Nahum Background As I go over Nahum there is one question I want to think about as this will be a point of discussion. How does Nahum’s message apply to us in today’s world? Nahum - this Hebrew name translates to “counselor” or “comforter”. Little is known about Nahum. He is identified as an Elkoshite. The where about’s of “Elkosh” are not known. Scholars speculate on various ancient middle east locations but there is no consensus. One mentioned in several sources was Capernaum, which means “the village of Nahum” on the Sea of Galilee. Nahum was an exceptional writer using a poetic structure, eloquence, and dramatic, descriptive language in powerful ways to convey a hopeful message to Judah and the wrath of God upon Nineveh/Assyria. Among the twelve minor prophets he is dubbed the Poet Prophet. Historical Context: When was this written? Scholars estimate Nahum was written between 663 and 612 BC. This 40 year window was derived from statements in the book of Nahum. He mentions Thebes (No Amon) in Egypt falling to the Assyrians (663 BC) in the past tense, so it had already happened. The future destruction of Nineveh is described as coming. Nineveh was destroyed in 612 BC. Nahum most likely was living in Jerusalem and may have witnessed Sennacherib, King of Assyria attempt to destroy Jerusalem in (701 BC). His prophecy had to be before 612 BC. The Oppressors - Assyrians. They were the first ancient middle east super power. Assyrian kings were brutal to the people they conquered.

  • Hosea an Inspiring Quote the Book of Hosea Who Wrote This Book?
    Hosea The prophet Hosea in the 8th century BCE protested violently against Israelite religious practices. An inspiring quote “For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings” (Hosea 6:6). The Book of Hosea Hosea came from the north and preached at the same time as Amos. He discovered the tenderness of God through personal experience. He loved his wife, although she behaved badly towards him; through his love he succeeded in restoring to her the feelings she had had when she was young. This is how God loves us: not because we are good, but so that we can become good (Hosea 1-3). The book begins with God’s command to Hosea to marry an unfaithful wife who he loved passionately and the first few chapters describe what happened when he did so. Chapter 4 onwards contains a range of messages from God via Hosea, first to the people of Israel (chapters 4-11) and then to the people of Israel and Judah (chapters 11-14), about the anger God felt because of their betrayal of him through injustice, corruption and their worship of other gods. Woven between these messages of doom are some messages of hope, pointing to what God’s people can look forward to beyond the times of trouble. Who wrote this book? The author is announced as Hosea in verses 1:1-2. He was a prophet to the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Hosea, in Hebrew, means salvation but Hosea is popularly termed “the prophet of doom”.

West Abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology in the Divinity School of Duke University 2017 i v Copyright by Jacob Onyumbe Wenyi 2017 i v Abstract With its description of God as wrathful and vengeful and its graphic depiction of war and violence, Nahum has often been treated as a dangerous book, both in church settings and in academic circles. This dissertation is an effort to confront violence, both in my community and in the book of Nahum. It is a contextual reading of Nahum against the background of the wars that have plagued my country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo since the early 1990s. It argues that Nahum’s description of God and its depiction of war scenes were meant to evoke in seventh-century BCE Judahite audiences the memory of war and destruction at the hands of the Assyrians.

HUDDLESTUN, College of Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina I. INTRODUCTION WELL before the advent of modern biblical criticism, translators and interpreters of the Hebrew text puzzled over the identi˜cation of noå-åamon in Nahum 3:8–9. In the Septuagint, confusion over how to translate the opening words of verse 8 (hAtet´tbÿ minnoå- åamon) is evident in what appear to be multiple renderings, some of which may have origi- nated as glosses.1 In rabbinic tradition, No-Amon is interpreted as the Delta city Alexandria, a rendering adopted and defended by Jerome in the Vulgate.2 With one or two exceptions, * Portions of the following were delivered in a tion with Notes and Commentary (repr.

  • The Twelve Prophets Amos Through Malachi: Major Teachings of the Twelve Prophets
    The Twelve Prophets Amos through Malachi: Major Teachings of the Twelve Prophets Blair G. Van Dyke and D. Kelly Ogden Blair G. Van Dyke teaches in the Church Educational System and is an instructor of ancient scripture at BYU. D. Kelly Ogden is a professor of ancient scripture at BYU. The writings of Amos through Malachi are frequently skirted as blocks of scripture to be quickly dealt with toward semester’s end after the “important” writers of the Old Testament have received more careful and thoughtful treatment. Such a course is lamentable because these prophets consistently prophesied in days of great wickedness among God’s people—when they indulged in priestcraft, sorcery, and idolatry and when they mistook outward symbols of covenants for heartfelt, sincere worship. In this regard, the parallels between their days and ours are striking. Following a brief introduction to the writ- ings of these twelve prophets, this article will explore some of the major teachings within their historical and spiritual context. We anticipate that this will lead to a greater desire and a greater capacity to integrate into religious education the principles of the gospel contained in the writings of the twelve prophets. The Book of the Twelve Anciently, the writings of these twelve prophets1 comprised one book known as the Book of the Twelve and were included in the Old Testament canon as such. The earliest acknowledgment of the signifi- cance of their writings comes from the Wisdom of Jesus, Son of Sirach, a book written early in the second century BC and now included in what we call the Apocrypha.
