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

0:02.0	Your future lies in 6640.
0:07.0	66 books by 40 authors, and yet we now discover it's an integrated message system from outside our time domain.
0:17.0	Welcome to 6640, the ministry outreach of Koinnea House and Koinnea Institute.
0:23.6	Today's Bible teacher is Chuck Missler, connecting the Bible to your life and the world around you.
0:29.4	In today's study, Chuck continues his teaching on the book of Sephaniah, Chapter 2.
0:47.6	Music Chapter 2 Therefore 2 Therefore as I live, say at the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
0:51.6	surely Moab shall be as Sodom and the children Ammon as Gomorrah.
0:54.1	See, they're both used idiomatically here as Proverbs, if you will. Even the breeding of the nettles and the children Ammon as Gomorrah. See, they're both used idiomatically here. It's proverbs, if you will.
0:56.4	Even the breeding of the nettles and the salt pits and the perpetual desolation,
0:59.9	the wizard of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
1:04.8	Therefore, as I live, sayeth the Lord of hosts.
1:07.8	The implication here seems to be that hard words are spoken against Israel as the Lord's
1:11.7	people are in effect spoken against the Lord himself. In other words, when you speak against Israel,
1:16.9	you're speaking against God, his people. Therefore, as I live, see, as God feels that the things
1:23.5	they've said against Israel, they have said against him personally. He's taking it personally.
1:44.3	That's the very subtle but very profound point that goes through this whole passage here. So salt pits, of course, are found in the Dead Sea, water overflows in the spring, and the salt is left by evaporation, of course. So these nations consistently opposed God's people, Moab, and there's a whole bunch of passages.
1:45.4	We don't have to go through all that.
1:48.1	And, of course, Ammon, again, all kinds of passages,
1:50.4	consistently opposed God's people.
1:55.2	Their land which for centuries had been noted for its fertility would become a desolate waste, and indeed it has been.
1:59.3	There isn't a lot of tourist groups going to see to those regions, particularly.
