Summary

Prophets to the Southern Kingdom is Chuck's commentary on the books of Joel, Micah, Zephaniah, and Habakkuk. The Prophets to the Southern Kingdom spoke many promises of Israel's return to the land, Christ's second coming and the overall time line from Babylon all the way through the Millennium. In a time of great turmoil, these men focused on the hope of the coming Messiah and His Kingdom. The book of Joel is a neglected book among Bible scholars. It's an important book because it records Israel's place in God's program: from Babylon all the way through the Millennium. Micah's message was heeded, repentance followed, and disaster was postponed for a century. Here was a prophet that changed history! One man can make a difference. Both Zephaniah and Jeremiah prophesied to a politically prospering people of coming judgment. Habakkuk means to embrace. Habakkuk's main theme is God's consistency with Himself in view of permitted evil. Why do bad things happen to good people? Habakkuk is among the last of the minor prophets to preach in Judah before the Babylonian captivity. This study contains 13 hours of verse by verse teachings. Copyright © 10-01-2010

0:52.2	Music chapter one there's something else about the structure one i want to call you or the first couple of verses is the judgment on all the earth.
0:55.5	And then the next few verses, from verse 4 of chapter 1 through the third verse of chapter 2,
1:00.7	there's judgment specifically on Judah and Jerusalem.
1:04.9	And then from verse 4 of chapter 2 through verse 15,
1:08.9	the scope swings on all the surrounding nations. But then it
1:14.0	refocuses on Jerusalem, the first seven verses of chapter 3, and then it returns to a perspective
1:20.9	of the whole earth. Now this is a construction, if you notice what I'm getting at here,
1:27.2	is that there's a correspondence
1:28.8	with the first and last topic.
1:31.2	In other words, it goes from all the earth to Judah, then it focuses on all the surrounding
1:35.4	nations to Jerusalem, then it focuses back on Jerusalem and finally on all the earth.
1:40.0	That is what is known in rhetoric as a chasmic structure.
1:45.0	And E.W. Bullinger's companion Bible outlines the whole Bible that way.
1:51.0	And on the one hand, I'm not sure it's that useful in many places.
1:55.0	At the same time, it is interesting to be sensitized to the fact there's structure as you're reading your Bible,
