Nahum Bible Study Resources

October 9, 2020 by Krisan Marotta

Nahum Bible Study Resources | WednesdayintheWord.com

Study questions, maps, charts, outlines, and links to help you study the Old Testament book of Nahum.


Jump to: Background; ** Maps; ** Key Words; ** Encyclopedias; ** Commentaries; ** Articles; ** GotQuestions ** Next **


Basics

  • Nahum means “comfort” or “consolation” and is a short form of Nehemiah (“comfort of Yahweh”).
  • There is no mention of any kings in the introduction, so the date of Nahum’s prophecy must be implied by historical data.
  • The message of judgment against Nineveh portrays a nation of strength, indicating a time prior to her fall in 612 BC and probably before the death of Ashurbanipal in 626 BC, after which Assyria’s power fell rapidly.
  • Nahum mentions the fall of Thebes in 663 BC (Nahum 3:8–10) at the hands of Ashurbanipal, which appears to be recent, suggesting a date during the reign of Manasseh (ca. 695–642 BC; cf. 2 Kings 21:1–18).
  • In 612 BC the Tigris River overflowed its banks and destroyed part of Nineveh’s wall. As a result, the Babylonians invaded through the breach, plundered and burned the city.
  • Battle of Nineveh (Wikipedia)

Simple Outline

  • 1:1-15 – Nineveh’s doom declared
  • 2:1-13 – Nineveh’s doom described
  • 3:1-19 – Nineveh’s doom deserved

Jump to: Background; ** Maps; ** Key Words; ** Encyclopedias; ** Commentaries; ** Articles; ** GotQuestions ** Next **


Basics

  • The repentance of Nineveh probably took place during the reign of Ashurdan (773-755 BC).
  • After repenting due to the preaching of Jonah, the city stood for another 150 years until the Babylonians rebelled against the Assyrians in 636 BC and conquered Nineveh in 612 BC.

Jump to: Background; ** Maps; ** Key Words; ** Encyclopedias; ** Commentaries; ** Articles; ** GotQuestions ** Next **


Basics

  • Obadiah probably lived in and ministered to the southern kingdom of Judah. Some think Obadiah was a contemporary of Elisha.
  • There are 13 Obadiah’s in the Old Testament.
  • Obadiah prophesied that Edom would be cut off forever. Edomites disappear from history with the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

Edomites

  • Edomites are descendants of Esau who lived in the mountianous area of Seir, south of the Dead Sea.
  • The Edomites were bitter enemies of the Jews.
  • Edom refused Moses’ request to allow the Israelites to pass through their land on the way to Canaan.
  • They opposed Saul and were subdued by David.
  • They fought against Jehoshaphat and rebelled against Jehoram.
  • In the 5th Center BC, the Nabateans forced the Edomites to leave their native country. The Edomites moved to the souther part of Palestine and became known as the Idumeans.
  • Herod the Great was an Indumean. He became King of Judea under Rome in 37 BC and ordered the killing of the male infants in Bethlehem in an attempt to kill the Messiah.
  • The Idumeans aided the rebellion of Jerusalem against Rome and were defeated along with the Jews when Titus conquered Jerusalem in 70 AD.

Joel Bible Study Resources | WednesdayintheWord.com

Study questions, maps, charts, key words, history, background, outlines, and links to help you study the Old Testament book of Joel.


Jump to: Background; ** Maps; ** Key Words; ** Encyclopedias; ** Commentaries; ** Articles; ** GotQuestions ** Next **


Basics

  • Author: Joel
  • Date: Unknown.
  • Possible Dates: a) Early Preexilic: Some think Joel was an early prophet to the southern kingdom of Judah during the reign of King Joash (835-796 BC); b) Late Preexilic (609-586 BC); or c) Postexilic (515-350 BC).
  • The Hebrew Canon places Joel among the minor prophets after Ezekiel & Hosea and before Amos.
  • The Greek canon places Joel after Daniel and Hosea and before Amos.
  • I suspect the dating is ambiguous because Joel is relevant to any time of lament or trouble.
  • Joel tells the nations that even though some disasters have struck, it is not too late to repent.

Outline

  • Chapter 1:1-5 – A plague destroys the land
  • Chapter 1:6-2:27 – Vision of the invading army
  • Chapter 2:28-3:21 – Future judgment and deliverance

Purposes:

  • To warn Judah of the coming Day of the Lord when judgment will get worse for Judah and the nations of the world.
  • To urge Judah to repent of their sins.
  • To proclaim a future time of complete restoration.
