Understanding the Anger of God: Micah, Nahum, and Habakkuk
Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk were the last prophets to the Southern Kingdom of Judah before Judah was taken captive to Babylon. Each prophet cried out to a nation which needed to heed the Word of the Lord about judgment. Any nation, Assyria, Israel or Judah, which chose to worship idols rather than God, would be judged by God unless they turned to Him in repentance. But God would always give a warning first. In the midst of darkness there is always light. In the midst of despair there is always hope. In the midst of corruption there is always the Word of the Lord, the message of truth, because God is not silent. These three prophets will teach you how God deals with those who turn away from Him and how He gives a warning to turn to Him rather than perish.
The Good, the Bad, the Ugly: 2 Kings (21-25) and 2 Chronicles (33-36)
In the last chapters of 2 Kings (21-25) and 2 Chronicles (33-36) you’ll see worsening religious and political conditions in Judah. You will be introduced to the last kings of Judah – one the best since King David (“the Good”), the other the worst Judah ever had (“the Bad”). When God brings Babylon to judge Judah and Jerusalem for their sins, everything gets really “Ugly.” We want to present God to the world as merciful and compassionate, which He truly is. Yet because He is holy, righteous, and just, He deals severely with His chosen people, Israel, and the nations of this world when they spurn Him. You will understand more clearly God’s kindness and severity – kindness to those who continue in His kindness, severity to those who do not believe and obey. You’ll learn how God can keep you when your life combines “the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”
