Welcome to the Book of Nahum!
In this episode, Husband and Wife dive into the intriguing yet often overlooked Book of Nahum. Join them as they embark on a journey through this minor prophet's vivid imagery and fierce proclamations against Nineveh, the capital of Assyria. With their signature humor and insightful commentary, they discuss the prophet's background, the historical context of his messages, and the contradictions that arise in the portrayal of God as both vengeful and protective.
Topics Covered:
1. The Prophet Nahum: Who was Nahum and what can we glean from his life and times? The hosts explore the scant details available about this mysterious figure and his possible connections to other biblical personalities.
2. The Assyrian Threat: A look into the political landscape of Nahum's time, including the looming threat of Assyria and its impact on Judah.
3. Vengeance and Wrath: The episode features a deep dive into the themes of divine vengeance as depicted in Nahum, and how these portrayals challenge modern interpretations of a loving God.
4. Fun Anecdotes: Expect plenty of laughter as the couple shares personal stories and quirky insights that keep the discussion lively and relatable.
