Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three prophets – Joel, Nahum, and Malachi – speak to the challenges of their own day. Joel, following a locust plague, confronts the people of a bigger impending catastrophe that they could avoid if they return to God with prayers. As such, amid pain, he offers hope. Nahum depicts the wrath of God against an oppressive country. Although God is slow to anger, he will pursue his justice against oppressors. This instills faith in troubled times as God is, forever, the refuge to his people. Malachi calls the people to honor the unchanging God who continues to care for them, even if they have fallen short in many ways. To honor God means knowing and walking with him in words and in deeds. Serving him is a great privilege. He will refine those who are serving him with his divine unwavering love.

Download or read book Joel Obadiah Malachi written by David Weston Baker and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2006 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These three short prophetic books of the Old Testament each contain a dual message. On one hand are messages of impending judgment---for all peoples on the Day of the Lord, for an enemy of Israel, and for Israel herself. On the other hand are messages of great hope---of the pouring out of God's Spirit, of restoration and renewal, and of a coming Messiah. Placing judgment and hope together in such a manner may seem paradoxical to a contemporary mindset. But the complete message of these prophets gives a fuller picture of God---who despises and rightly judges sin and rebellion, but who also lovingly invites people to return to him so that he might bestow his wonderful grace and blessings. It is a message no less timely today than when these books were first written, and David W. Baker skillfully bridges the centuries in helping believers today understand and apply it. Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. They focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable---but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps bring both halves of the interpretive task together. This unique, award-winning series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into our postmodern context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it speaks powerfully today.

Download or read book Commentary on the Books of Joel Obadia Nahum Haggai and Malachi written by Claudius Brown and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The books of Joel, Haggai, Obadiah, Nahum, and Malachi are part of the Old Testament in the Bible and are known as prophetic books. Each book addresses different historical contexts and contains messages from the respective prophets. Here's a brief overview of what each book deals with: Joel: The book of Joel focuses on the theme of judgment and restoration. It begins with a description of a devastating locust plague and calls for repentance. Joel sees this plague as a warning of the Day of the Lord, a future time of divine judgment. He urges the people to turn back to God, promising restoration and blessings for those who repent. Haggai: Haggai was a prophet who spoke to the Jewish community in Jerusalem after their return from exile in Babylon. The book of Haggai addresses the people's indifference towards rebuilding the temple. Haggai calls for a renewed focus on rebuilding the house of God, encouraging the people to prioritize their spiritual responsibilities. He promises that God's presence will return to the temple and bring blessings to the people. Obadiah: The book of Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament and contains a message of judgment against the nation of Edom. Edom was a neighboring nation of Israel that had a history of hostility and aggression towards Israel. Obadiah's prophecy declares that Edom will be brought low and held accountable for its actions. It also includes promises of restoration for Israel in contrast to the fate of Edom. Nahum: Nahum prophesied against the city of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire. The Assyrians were known for their cruelty and oppression, particularly towards the Israelites. Nahum predicts the downfall of Nineveh and the end of Assyrian dominance, bringing comfort to the oppressed. The book highlights God's justice and the eventual deliverance of those who suffer under oppressive powers. Malachi: Malachi is the last book in the Old Testament, and it addresses the spiritual and moral decline among the people of Israel after their return from exile. Malachi rebukes the priests and the people for their corrupt practices, such as offering blemished sacrifices and neglecting their religious duties. The book emphasizes the importance of true worship and genuine repentance, and it concludes with the promise of the coming of the Messiah. These books contain a mix of messages of judgment, restoration, repentance, and promises of future blessings. They provide historical context and spiritual guidance to the people of Israel during different periods in their history.

Download or read book Reading Nahum Malachi written by Steven Shawn Tuell and published by . This book was released on 2015-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nahum-Malachi, the last six books of the Christian Old Testament, span the period from the end of the Assyrian empire in the 7th century BCE to the fall of the Neo-Babylonian Empire and the emergence of Persia in the 5th century BCE. But these books also have a collective identity as the latter half of the Book of the Twelve-the ancient Jewish and Christian designation for the so-called "minor" prophets. This commentary maintains a balance between reading each of these six books in its own historical and social setting and considering the interrelationships and canonical functions of these books within the Book of the Twelve as a whole. Jesus ben Sirach wrote that "the Twelve Prophets . . . comforted the people of Jacob and delivered them with confident hope" (Sir 49:10). This commentary, following ben Sirach, proposes that the theme of the Book of the Twelve is a comforting word of hope and deliverance.
