Nahum, Habbakkuk, Zephaniah - Come Follow Me with Sam

 Welcome!

Nahum

Nineveh being destroyed is a type of the last days

Habakkuk

Habakkuk's discussion is on why bad people are allowed to prosper against the enemies. The short of it is God says its a bad deal all around. The long of it is actually quite profound.

Zephaniah

Zephaniah is a mind preparation for the second coming

Throughout all of this, Paul is guided by the spirit what he must do.
