1 | what about a Bible study??? | Bible general Archive 2 | strts | 122503 | ||
Thank you both for your responces, and I agree with both. I have read the OT many times and there are HUGE portions that leave me scratching my head at best... I was thinking possibly looking into the minor and major prophets, no little task. It seems that MOST of the stuff in these books just completely baffles me, mainly who were they speaking to, why, what was going on....... If someone has a good idea of where to start? I was thinking some personal reading maybe 1-3 chapters and then Q and A.... In love Mike |

Hi Mike, I agree, the OT books are not easy to study!! In general, the books you mentioned contain prophecies about Jesus, and the destruction of Jerusalem, and the end of the times.. I believe we really need God's guidance for this; I usually tell Him I am 'scratching my head' and wait on Him to answer my questions... Which He lovingly does, always. :-) It usually helps to read them in light of the NT, for the OT and the NT are closely connected, and cannot really be studied separated from one another. Maybe start with Micah, it is not too long and I think it gives a really good overview of the general ideas in those books. It has helped me a lot, at least. Possibly the NIV will not be too difficult to read; http://biblegateway.com also gives explanations to some words you might not understand. Wishing you all the best... Blessings, Zsuzsi |
