God Instructs Habakkuk to write down what he hears on tablets, more than likely tablets of stone. I wonder what has happened to these tablets and if they are preserved buried somewhere in the middle east. The idea of justification by faith is addressed in verse 4, Thus showing this isn't just a New Testament concept.

In this freestyle session I Wrap up the book of Habakkuk chapter 1

In This episode I explore the question, what did the Babylonian kings know about Gods use of them as the hand of his judgment?

no big description just hear me out

How much do we actually believe and trust God? Next Time you pray ask yourself do you actually trust and have faith in the fact that this prayer can absolutely be answered. Not that we can claim it will be answered that would put us in the all-knowing category, that belongs to God alone. Whether it is in God's will to take our life in the direction of our prayer request is known by God not us, our knowledge is after a thing not before.

When you sin what do you do next? This is a fairly simple question or it should be. I have personally for years gone through this back and forth and it can be very tumultuous. The tendency is to give up and this is the exact point of sin to bring death and destruction. We can't walk in darkness and claim fellowship with God, We also can not fall into the trap of thinking we will never have to confess sin and repent.

In come the Chaldeans, namely Nebuchadnezzar God's vessel for judgment upon the nations. The level of violence and brutality was turned up considerably under Neo Babylonian rule, which was more than likely unexpected by the inhabitants of the world.

Why was it such a surprising thing for God to tell Habakkuk to prophesy of the rise and take over of the Chaldeans via Babylon their seat of power? The Babylonians with help from the Medes sacked Assur the spiritual seat of the Assyrian empire and then Nineveh the very seat of Assyrian power. To this point, Babylon was a proxy kingdom with puppet rulers put in place by the kings of Assyria and posed no credible threat.

The Prophet Habakkuk was grieved at what he saw both from the Assyrian empire and the southern kingdom. He wants to see God intervene, and wonders why Gods hand has been stayed for so long.

Not 100% But definitely better than I was

Today I cover my second substack article about those who walk away from the faith

Calling all The soldiers in Gods army not to be cliché but the battle is on. Whatever holds you back, whatever hinders you lets all pray together and get to work. I have in my few short years on this planet not seen so many people with so many questions on eternal issues. Being representative's of God We should definitely be at the forefront of this war and battle for truth.

In a Seemingly odd turn of events God has a conversation with Jonah. In this conversation the mercy and long suffering nature of God is on full display.

Why did the ninevites repent so seemingly quickly? why was Jonah so convinced that they would repent thus causing him to flee? I asked these questions and pose some possible answers in this episode.

God often brings the wisdom of the world low with very simple thing's. In this episode I make a loose connection to the books of Jonah referencing Balaam from numbers chapter 22. Also in this episode I bring to bear a current topic in the big picture of a greater biblical idea.

These are just some of my fleeting thoughts loosely connected through the book of Jonah thus far.

we see in the book of nahum what happened to Assyria after they went back on their word to God and returned to violence. Could it be that this would have been the fate of Assyria roughly 100 years earlier had they not listened to Jonah. How differently would things have played out? and what happened to Assyria eventually? int this episode I cover these question's.

Jonah goes to the city of Nineveh and preaches to the great city. The people in an odd turn of events (humanistically speaking) repent without hesitation. This seems to be a stark contrast from what is going on in Judah and Israel, and seems to be very similar to the gospel being accepted by gentiles more readily than the jews during the time of Christ.

It is sometimes thought that belief in the Bible and its instruction is without reason. Jordan Bernt Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist who has been making the rounds of philosophical debate among the prominant thought circles of this age. He has been increasingly interested and intrigued by the Bible and its validity. Now let it be known that he could denounce the Bible and everything tomorrow, and that would not change the solid foundation upon which the Bible stands( It is true from cover to cover). I do this only to encourage those either young and or weak in their faith that what you believe is not foolish, what you trust is not unreasonable, And the God you serve isn't imaginary.

https://brooknom.substack.com/p/can-you-trust-it So I have decided to enter the realm of articles particularly concerning the biblical. I can not promise you these articles will be any good. I have no idea if my thoughts will translate well to written form, or if I can properly articulate my thoughts in that way. What I wish to do is to permeate as many spaces as I possibly can across the internet with biblical reasoning.

Who was king of Assyria during the time of Jonah. In this episode I cover this with some historical context to the best of my ability. My thoughts on this are not to be misconstrued as dogma I do however believe I am correct on this matter.

Just some thoughts on mister west

What is it about peripheral issues that take us so far off the mark. is it that we loose focus, is it that these things drain and steal our attention. in This short episode I explore this Idea through the lens of my limited understanding.

There is a spiritual battle that rages on in the mind of people. C.S Lewis did a very good job in the screw tape letters theorizing what that battle looks like.

Jonah chapter 2 contains within it the tail of the hypocrisy of humanity. We want for others the opposite of what we want for ourselves, We want mercy while proclaiming judgment on all others. This chapter also highlights our willingness to recognize Gods mercy in the face of our sin and disobedience, while calling others into condemnation.
