“How can a holy God use a sinful nation to accomplish His purposes?” That’s the question the prophet Habakkuk struggles with in this section of God’s Word. Discover there is no sin in questioning God and also learn why God permitted evil in Habakkuk’s day and ours, too.

As Habakkuk’s complaints and questions continue, God answers on a grander scale than the prophet can imagine, and in ways that likely won’t please him. Watch the rise of Babylon as we learn more about the unfortunate consequences ahead if God’s people continue with their wicked ways.

“What are you doing about evil?” In our last study, God’s response to this question wasn’t what Habakkuk was hoping for. So, instead of giving up, the prophet asks Him new and bigger questions. How will God respond? Will Habakkuk be satisfied? What do the answers mean to us today?

“Why doesn’t God do something about evil?” That’s the question Habakkuk asks God in this poetic Old Testament book. Discover God’s answer as Israel’s burden unfolds and the prophet’s faith is deepened.

We don’t have to look beyond our own community to see the suffering in this world. But God sees it, too—and He is doing something about it. When we say God is sovereign, it means these issues are safe in His hands. That’s the message we learn from the prophet Nahum. As we study the sins and destruction of Nineveh, we’ll realize even now how God is moving against evil in our world today.

Is our nation like Assyria? In Nahum, chapter 3, we’ll examine the indicators like a deceitful government and news media, a false sense of security among people, and a growing interest in witchcraft and the occult. While the indicators may not be in our favor, Dr. McGee encourages us to intercede for our nation before the Father.

Trace it through history—people who turn their backs on God are eventually brought to their knees. As we follow the destruction of Assyria, we’ll learn how a once great and cruel nation was brought to judgment and simply wiped from the face of the earth. It’s a solemn lesson we would be wise to heed.

Correctly understanding and interpreting the Bible adds depth and beauty to our understanding—and to do it incorrectly leads to wrong assumptions and false doctrine. Learn more about the judgment of the Assyrians and the important connection between the books of Nahum and Jonah.

How can you refute those who say the Bible is full of errors? Nahum has the answers. Discover striking evidence that will boost our assurance that God’s Word can be trusted and help us understand how the book of Nahum holds a key to interpreting the entire Word of God.

Although the people of Nineveh ultimately repented and God did not destroy them as Jonah had warned, it’s now 100 years later. The people of Nineveh have forgotten the mercy of God and are back to their treacherous ways. How will Nahum handle them? Will he destroy their idols? Will they repent? Will God save and restore them? Will He save us when we sin?
