0:00.0	Giday, I'm Gary Stevens.
0:09.9	And welcome to the third season of the History in the Bible podcast.
0:15.2	In this final season, I explore how the Jews and the Christians constructed new religions when they were sent
0:23.9	spinning into the void after the destruction of the temple. All of the history, about all of the books
0:31.6	beyond the Bible.
0:47.4	Steve Guerra from the history in the Papacy podcast, and I present another episode in our mini-series on the 12 minor prophets of the Old Testament.
0:52.0	In this episode, we tackle Micah and Nahum. The prophet Micah warns of the
0:59.5	approaching menace that is Assyria. He alternates three prophecies of doom with three of hope.
1:07.8	He is actually the chirpiest of the minor prophets. His prophecies of hope have long been cited by both Jewish and Christian authors to comfort the faithful.
1:18.6	The book of Nahum is only three chapters long.
1:23.6	Nahum's book is a short frothing boast about the destruction of Assyria.
1:30.3	After the Prophet Obadiah, Nahum is the least popular book in the Bible.
1:36.3	The book does not appear in the annual reading cycles of either Christians or Jews.
1:41.3	No one loves no.
1:52.7	Welcome back to another exciting and wonderful and glorious collaboration between the history in the Bible podcast and the history of the papacy podcast. And today we are continuing our
2:00.7	series on the 12 minor prophets but as we've been saying
2:05.0	all along there's nothing minor about them today we are charging ahead and talking about two
2:12.1	more prophets named Micah and Nahum and Gary's going to be the one who sets us up on how to tell them,
2:19.5	say their names in Hebrew.
2:22.3	We suggest you go back and re-listen to our introduction episode and the previous episodes in this series,
2:30.5	but you can also enjoy Micah and Nahum on their own merits if you just happen to be particularly
2:37.0	interested in them.
