After Israel's fall, God cried out with strong pleas and warnings for Judah's repentance. Judah had brief periods of spiritual renewal, but always returned to idolatry and rebellion. Finally, her judgment was inevitable and God sent a flurry of prophets to warn the people to repent and return to Him. Four prophets wrote the following five books before and immediately after Jerusalem's destruction and the people's exile to Babylon. It was only 136 years after Israel's destruction that Judah herself was destroyed. NAHUM (662-657 BC) again warned Nineveh, Assyria's capitol, of their impending judgment. They had heeded Jonah's message and repented 125 years earlier, but had returned to wickedness. God graciously gave them another 45-50 years after Nahum preached, but their destruction finally came in 612 BC. ZEPHANIAH (621-612 BC) preached a strong message of righteousness and prophesied judgment for Judah and her enemies. He also spoke of Israel's glorious restoration. HABAKKUK (607-598 BC) reported that God would use the wicked Babylonians to punish Judah. This evoked the discussion of why God would use a nation that was even more wicked than Judah to punish and destroy it. JEREMIAH (628-560 BC) described in detail the destruction of Judah, Egypt, Babylon, and Judah's other neighbors. He was deeply affected by the messages he had to deliver, but wrote little to offer the people hope. LAMENTATIONS (586-581 BC) is a collection of five elegies of Jeremiah expressing great mourning and sorrow for the irrecoverable loss of the temple and Jerusalem.

James K. Crews, B-Th, MA-Th is an ordained minister who has served as Bible teacher, church leader, missionary, international conference speaker and academic dean of a Bible college. He's done all those things, but he's just a follower of Jesus, a man who has spent his life studying God's Word and getting to know Him. He has assembled his lifetime of learning to create the Study Guides for LIFE to point believers toward Jesus so they can also know Him and make Him known. His theology is thoroughly conservative, evangelical, charismatic and Wesleyan. His study guides strive for unity in the body of Christ and a dependency on the Scriptures rather than denominational dogma. With theology degrees from both the Independent Assemblies of God and a conservative Baptist seminary, he strives to expand the readers' awareness of biblical issues. He directs them to the Scriptures and the father-heart of God to understand what the Bible says, what it means and how to apply it in their own lives.
