MBM-UK - Weekly studies

This week we look at the beginning of chapter 1 and discover some major differences in the text between the Hebrew and English. We look at the potential conflict between the verses in Zephaniah and the Covenant of Noach and how this is resolved. Notes are available at www.mbmukfamily.com

We begin our study of the book of Zephaniah. This week we look at the significance of Zephaniah's name and how the phrase "the Day of Lord" is understood within the context of both the Hebrew scriptures and the Apostolic writings. Notes are available at www.mbmukfamily.com.

In the final part of our study we take a more detailed look at some of the references that are being made in Habakkuk's prayer considering the importance of looking back at the events of the past and seeing how the faithfulness of GOD has brought about salvation and redemption thereby giving us hope for the future as we see events unfold.

This week we begin to look at chapter 3 of Habakkuk where we begin to see the final prayer of the prophet. We discuss how the prayer is linked to Psalm 7 and the need for the believing community to address the issue of repentance when assumptions are made about what they believe HaShem should do based on their own views rather than faith in the Holy One's purposes.

This week we conclude the second chapter of Habakkuk. We look at the connection with the account of Noach and the cursing of Canaan and how this ties in with the passage. We also discuss the future elements of the prophecy regarding the nations and what it means for us as we examine our own conduct and how we participate in aspects of the world, particularly social media. Notes are available on the podcasts page at www.mbmukfamily.com

In this study we continue to look at the laments that are set out in chapter 2 and the Messianic implications that are beyond the context of the historical events.

This is the second part of the Friday study. This next section looks at the importance of the beam as the connection between us and heaven, and us and our brother. We see some fascinating elements that connect to the time of Pesach, the blood and the High Priest's garment on Yom Kippur. Notes can be found at www.mbmukfamily.com

In the fourth part of our study of Habakkuk, we begin to look at the passage where the "woes" are being proclaimed by HaShem. We consider these in their historical context and in the modern day. This study is recorded in two parts as we took a brief pause to look at some video. Part 2 can be listened to separately. All notes are available at www.mbmukfamily.com

This week we look at the beginning of the second response that Habakkuk receives from GOD. We also discuss Habakkuk's preparation for that response and how it informs us regarding our expectation of the outcome of events based on our own biases rather than the outcome of GOD's will and intention.
