Subject: what about a Bible study??? |
Bible Note: 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 |
