Faithful Defender: A Four Week Study In Nahum - Paperback

by Parker Bradley (Author)

Nahum is an interesting prophet who, like Obadiah, directed his message to a powerful neighboring kingdom bent on the destruction and abuse of God's people. His prophecy was not just an encouraging message to the beaten-down people of Jerusalem, it was God Himself standing against that abuse and working on behalf of the disheartened to bring an end to that suffering.

Nahum gives us a look at something many may have trouble with at first-the wrath of God. What we will do in this study is see how the good character of God remains unchanged and is expressed even in times of His terrible wrath. To those who benefitted from and furthered the abuse of God's people, His wrath against them would be frightening and final. But to those who called out to God for His help and His hand of rescue, God's wrath was nothing less than great comfort to them in His victorious opposition to brutal and bitter injustice.

A key feature of this study is our "No-Wrong-Answers" discussion questions. You do not need to have prior knowledge of the the Minor Prophets to journey with them in our studies. These twelve books are among the least known books of the Bible for many Christians. No worries! We will focus on the most important thing- what God is saying to us today through these awesome prophets. So read through and jot your thoughts down if you'd like, but come to your group ready to talk about and discuss how Nahum's message speaks to you today.
