Michael speaks with Dr. Mark Chavalas about the book of Obadiah. As always, the historical context Dr. Chavalas brings helps us to wrap our minds around the bigger picture.
Michael teaches an overview of the book of Obadiah. We don’t know a lot about the prophet Obadiah or the exact timeframe in which this was written, but we know a lot about his message. It’s very clear.
Michael teaches an overview of the book of Amos, perhaps the oldest book of the Minor Prophets.
Amos prophesied during a period of national optimism in Israel… But below the surface, greed and injustice were festering.
The prophet Amos strives to remind God’s people who He is, what He has promised, and to contend that He will indeed do as He said.
He is unchanging and His Word is sure.
Michael teaches the first apocalyptic text in the Bible, the book named for Daniel: the exile whose pious life in among a pagan culture drew attention from his enemies and favor from His God.
