The message of Obadiah is given to Edom, a country which was made up of descendants of Esau, who was the twin brother of Jacob.
Jacob is also called Israel and is the ancestor of the Jewish people.
When foreign armies attacked Israel, the people of Edom did not come to their aid, but instead took many things that had belonged to them.
Obadiah said that God would destroy the Edomites because of this.
The Edomites lived in a city that was protected by mountains.
They also had other nations who were their allies in warfare.
They were proud of their wise leaders.
None of these things could protect them from defeat.
Obadiah said that God would give Israel back some lands including the land of the Edomites.
Edom no longer exists as a country.
Part of what was Edom is now in the kingdom of Jordan.
The ruins of their capitol city Petra is a tourist attraction.
We don't know much about who Nahum was.
His name means "comforter", and he was from the town of Elkosh or Alqosh (Nahum 1:1), which may have been a town of northern Galilee.
He was a Hebrew and may have written from Jerusalem a short time before the downfall of Assyria
Nahum wrote about the final destruction of Nineveh, the capital of the great Assyrian empire.
Ashurbanipal the king was at the height of his glory.
Nineveh was a large city, and was then the center of the civilization and trade of the world.
Jonah had given a warning, and Nahum was followed by Zephaniah, who also told about (Zephaniah 2:4–15) the destruction of the city.
The book of Jonah shows us that God had a loving concern for the people of Nineveh, while Nahum tells about the righteousness and justice of God.
He says God will punish the Assyrians because of "their cruelty" (Nahum 3:19).
Nineveh was burned by fire around 625 BC, after which the Assyrian empire soon came to an end.
That made big changes in the political and commercial fate of many in Asia.
Chapters two and three tell about the final fall of Nineveh, which took place in 612 BC.
Nahum tells about a war and how Nineveh's army tries to stop the invaders.
Nahum uses poetry to write as if he were in the battle, giving commands to the soldiers.
He uses irony by mentioning the lion as an Assyrian symbol of power; Nineveh is the strong lion with a den full of dead prey but will become weak like the lion hiding in its den.
The book ends with a song about the soon destruction of Nineveh and the death of the Assyrian people and end of the once great Assyrian rulers.
Nahum shows God to be slow to anger, but that God will by not ignore the guilty but will bring them to justice.
God is presented as a God who will punish evil, but will protect those who trust in Him.
Scholars believe it was written by Micah the prophet, about 700 years before Jesus was born.
Chapter 1 verse 5 says Micah was from Moresheth (a town in southern Judah).
He lived during the reigns of Yehotam, Ahaz and Hezekiah, roughly 750–700 BC.
During this time, after a long period of peace, Israel, Judah, and the other nations of the region were threatened by the Neo-Assyrian empire.
Micah warns that there would be a military defeat as punishment for worshiping idols and treating poor people badly by the powerful.
This happened to the kingdom of Israel (Samaria) in 721 and to the kingdom of Judah (Jerusalem) about 100 years later.
The book contains three cycles of warning about punishment and promise of restoration.
Bethlehem Ephrathah, you are one of the smallest towns in Judah, but out of you I will bring a ruler for Israel, whose family line goes back to ancient times. (
chapter 5 verse 2, Good News version).
A man’s enemies will be those of his own household. —
Matthew chapter 10, verse 36
He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? (
American King James Version)
The Book of Joel is part of the Jewish Tanakh, and also the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.
Joel describes a plague of locusts in Palestine.
It is hard to know when the Book of Joel was written since the events told about could have happened at any point in time between 850 and 400 BC.
Most modern students of the Bible believe the locusts were real insects that destroyed the crops, leaving the people hungry.
Others think they are a picture of big armies that will invade the land and destroy.
They can also be both things, one past, the other future.
Joel calls on the leaders and people to turn from their sins and ask God to forgive them.
God promises to do that both at that time and in the future whenever similar punishments are needed.
Peter, one of Jesus' followers, talked about some verses from Joel to describe what happened on the day of Pentecost when Christians believe that the Holy Spirit was given and Christians talked about Jesus in languages they had never learned.
This led to many people becoming Christians.
This is found in the Book of Acts in the New Testament
The book was written roughly between 760 and 720 BC and is about a man who was told by God to marry a woman who would not live with him as she should have done.
Even though Hosea brought her back to his house and had some children with her, she kept leaving him and going away to other men.
Hosea was told that his story was a picture of the way God's people treated God, by going after other gods (idols) even though God wanted them to stay with Him and love Him.
The Book of Haggai is a book of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) and of the Old Testament, written by the prophet Haggai.
It was written in 520 BCE, some 18 years after Cyrus had taken the kingdom of Babylon and made a law in 538 BCE, so that the captive Jews could return to Judea.
Cyrus also wanted the temple in Jerusalem to be built, so that the worship there could be begun again.
Haggai told the people to begin to rebuild second Jerusalem temple.
Haggai said that a recent drought was because of the people's refusal to rebuild the temple, which he sees as key to Jerusalem’s glory.
He said that Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, was the Lord’s chosen leader.
Haggai writes that three weeks after his first warning, the rebuilding of the Temple began on September 7 521 BCE. "
They came and began to work on the house of the LORD Almighty, their God, on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year of Darius the King.
This is in Chapter 1 verses 14 and 15.
The Book of Ezra says that it was finished on February 25 516 BCE "The Temple was completed on the third day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius." (
Ezra Chapter 6, verse 15) After this Haggai said that God would bless the people. (
Chapter 2, verse 18-19) The book ends by telling about the future downfall of other kingdoms.
The Book of Habakkuk is the eighth book of the 12 minor prophets of the Hebrew Bible.
It is thought to be written by the prophet Habakkuk, in the late 7th century BC.
In the first part of the book Habakkuk is talking with God about why people are allowed to do evil things.
God tells him that He is going to allow the army from Babylon to come and defeat the people of Israel.
This is to punish them for their sins of turning from God and treating people badly.
Habakkuk then asks God why he would use the evil nation of Babylon to punish His own people.
God replies that the people of Babylon will also later be punished.
In the end Habakkuk accepts God's actions as good and responds with faith.
Several verses in the book are well known.
Chapter 2, verse 4 says "the just shall live by faith".
This verse was used by  Saint Paul in two of his letters and also by the writer of the letter to the Hebrews in the New Testament to show that we are accepted by God when we have faith in Him and this leads to right living.
At the end of Chapter 3, Habakkuk states that even if all his crops and animals die and he is left poor, he will be glad in God who saves him.
This is similar to what Job said when bad things happened to him.
The Book of Ezra is a book of the Bible in the Old Testament and Hebrew Tanakh.
It details the return of the Jewish people from their exile in Babylon in the second half of the sixth century BC and the struggles they had.
These include having to rebuild their previously destroyed temple and people failing to obey Jewish religious commandments.
Ezra and Nehemiah
The words that start Nehemiah 1:1, "The words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah", shows that Ezra and Nehemiah were at first two different works.
However, they were put together as one in the earliest Hebrew manuscripts.
Josephus and the Jewish Talmud talk about the book of Ezra but not a different book of Nehemiah.
The oldest manuscripts of the Septuagint also treat Ezra and Nehemiah as one book.
Origen (A.D. 185–253) is the first writer to treat the books as different works.
He called them I Ezra and II Ezra.
In translating the Latin Vulgate, Jerome called Nehemiah the second book of Esdrae (Ezra).
The English translations by Wycliffe (1382) and Coverdale (1535) also called Ezra "I Esdras" and Nehemiah "II Esdras".
The same separation first came out in a Hebrew manuscript in 1448.

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) is the British record industry's trade association.
Its membership comprises hundreds of music companies including all four 'major' record companies (Warner Music Group, EMI, Sony BMG, and Universal Music Group), associate members such as manufacturers and distributors, and hundreds of independent music companies representing literally thousands of labels.
Sales certificates
The British Phonographic Industry awards certificates for music releases in Britain.
The level of the award varies depending on the format of the release and the number sold.
BPI certificates are not automatic; the record company must pay a fee to the BPI and they carry out an audit into the release in question.
Certificates are usually awarded on the basis of the number of units the release has shipped, rather than the number it has sold.

A gramophone record (or just record) is a type of analog storage medium.
It stores recorded music (or other sounds).
It was popular during most of the 20th century.
Gramophone records are played on a phonograph ("record player").
A gramophone record is a flat disk that is usually made of plastic.
The sound is recorded on a very fine line or groove which goes around and around in a spiral from the outside edge of the disk to the center.
The phonograph plays the sound with a needle that touches the groove.
A record usually has different music on each side.
When made of vinyl they were also known as vinyl records.
Most music made in the 20th century used this format.
Thomas Edison made early phonographs in the 1870s.
He originally used tin foil to record the sound.
Soon wax cylinders were used in place of the tin foil.
The cylinders could be taken off the machine and put back on without destroying the recording.
Although discs were made as early as 1888, it was not until 1902 that discs became more popular than cylinder records.
Discs were first made of a shellac mixture, and later of polyvinyl chloride, often abbreviated as "vinyl".
Singles usually carried only one or two songs or recordings.
EPs (extended play records) carried from three to five songs.
Albums carried many more recordings; a dozen was normal, or from 30 to 45 minutes of playing time.
These formats are still used today, with digital recordings, and playing time for singles and albums has grown considerably.
Vinyl records lost popularity but never went out of production.
Now, in recent years vinyl is gaining popularity, while CD record shops have gone out of business, more and more vinyl only record shops are opening.
CD and other digital formats have a much higher objective sound quality (closeness to the original) than vinyl, but many argue the higher subjective (heard by the ear) sound quality of vinyl compared to newer formats.
This higher subjective quality comes from changes to the sound caused by the record cutting and pressing process.
Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks (originally called Mainstream Rock Tracks) is a ranking in Billboard of the most-played songs on mainstream rock radio stations, a category that includes stations that play primarily rock music but are not modern rock (that is, "alternative") stations, which are counted in the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Sabelianism is a position in Christian theology.
It is against to the idea of the trinity, but embraces Morpheus.
Sabellianism is also known as modalism, modalistic monarchianism, or modal monarchism.
Basically, the teaching says that God has three masks, and humans see him in three different ways, but he is in fact only one.
Those in favor
Historic Sabellianism taught that God the Father was the only person of the Godhead, a belief known as Monarchianism.
One author has described Sabellius' teaching: The true question, therefore, turns on this, viz.,
what is it which constitutes what we name ‘person’ in the Godhead?
Is it original, substantial, essential to divinity itself?
Or does it belong to and arise from the exhibitions and developments which the divine Being has made of  himself to his creatures?
The former Sabellius denied; the latter he fully admitted.
Modalists say that the only number given to God in the Holy Bible is One.
Christian texts do not explicitley talk about God being three.
The number three is never mentioned in texts talking about God.
The number three is the number that is central to the word "Trinity".
There is one text known as Comma Johanneum which may be an exception to this.
The comma Johanneum is a disputed text passage in First John.
The text is mainly known from the King James Version of the Bible and some versions of the Textus Receptus.
It is usually not included in modern critical texts.
Modalism has been mainly associated with Sabellius, who taught a form of it in Rome in the third century.
Hippolytus of Rome knew Sabellius personally and mentioned him in the Philosophumena.
He knew Sabellius disliked Trinitarian theology, but he said Modal Monarchism  was the heresy of Noetos, not that of Sabellius.
Christians in Cyrenaica liked Sabellianism, and converted to it.
Demetrius, Patriarch of Alexandria, wrote many letters to them arguing against this belief.
It is important to note that our only sources available for our understanding of Sabellianism are from people who opposed it.
Scholars today do not agree what exactly Sabellius or Praxeus taught.
It is easy to think Tertullian and Hippolytus misrepresented the opinions of their opponents.
Tertullian seems to suggest that the majority of believers at that time favoured the Sabellian view of the oneness of God.
Epiphanius (Haeres 62) about 375 AD notes that Sabellius still had many followers, both in Mesopotamia and at Rome.
The second general council at Constantinople in 533 AD declared the baptism of Sabellius to be invalid, which indicates that Sabellianism was still around.
Its position today
Sabellianism has been rejected by the majority of Christian churches in favour of Trinitarianism.
This was done through the Athanasian Creed, which says that God is three distinct persons.
Each one of the three is equal to the others, and eternal in the same way than the other two.
Michael Servetus and Emanuel Swedenborg were scientists of the 16th and 17th century.
Some of the tests thy have written seem to suggest that they were in favor of Modalism.
Neither of the two describes God as appearing in three modes.
Both describe him as the One Divine Person, Jesus Christ, who has a Divine Soul of Love, Divine Mind of Truth, and Divine Body of Activity.
Jesus merged his human form with the divine.
By doing this, he  became entirely One with His Divine Soul from the Father in such a way that the persons could no longer be kept apart.
Oneness Pentecostalism teaches that the Father (a spirit) is united with Jesus (a man) as the Son of God.
However, Oneness Pentecostalism is very different from Sabellianism, because it rejects sequential modalism.
They teach that God was fully God and fully man.
Oneness Pentecostalism and Sabellianism can be compared to each other, because they are both Notrinitarian.
There may be several differences between both positions though.
What did it really teach?
It is difficult to find out what Sabellianism really taught, because all that is left today are the texts of those who were against it.
The following excerpts which demonstrate some of the known doctrinal characteristics of ancient Sabellians may be seen to compare with the doctrines in the modern Oneness movement:
Sabellianism was doctrine taught by a sect of the Montanists.
Cyprian wrote of them "How, when God the Father is not known--nay, is even blasphemed--can they who among the heretics are said to be baptized in the name of Christ only, be judged to have obtained the remission of sins?" (
Cyprian, c. 250, W, 5.383,484)
In 225 AD Hippolytus spoke of them saying "Some of them assent to the heresy of the Noetians, affirming the Father Himself is the Son."
Victorinus had this to say of them "Some had doubts about the baptism of those who appeared to recognize the same Father with the Son with us, yet who received the new prophets."
Saballianism was also referred to by the following Church fathers:
Dionysius (c.200-265 AD) wrote "Those baptized in the name of three persons...though baptized by heretics..shall not be rebaptized.
But those converted from other heresies shall be perfected by the baptism of the Holy Church." (
St. Dionysius, Letters and Treatises,p.54).
"Sabellius...blasphemes in saying that the Son Himself is the Father and vice versa." (
Dionysius of Rome, c.264,W, 6.365)
"Jesus commands them to baptize into the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--not into a unipersonal God." (
Tertullian, C. 213,W,3.623)
Sabellianism teaching of Modalism and singular name baptism was also accompanied by glossolalia and prophecy among the abovementioned sect of Montanists.
In 225 AD Tertullian speaks of "those who would deserve the excellent gifts of the spirit--and who...by means of the Holy Spirit would obtain the gift of language, wisdom, and knowledge."
It is reported that Sabellians experienced glossolalia and baptized in the "shorter formula" because of their denial of the Trinity. (
J.H. Blunt, p.332,Heik,p 150, kelsey, pp.
40,41).
Tritheism is the belief that there are three distinct, powerful gods, who form a triad.
Generally three gods are believed to have separate powers and separate supreme beings or spheres of influence but working together.
In this respect tritheism differs from dualism, which typically envisages two opposed Divine powers in conflict with one another.
Ironically, there is no group that claims to believe in or teach tritheism; the term is solely used as an accusation against others, somewhat similar to the usage of the word cult, in accusing a group of holding an alternate or distorted view of the Christian doctrine of Trinity.
The main branches consider tritheism heretical.
Jeremiah Chapter 1, verses 1 to 3 says that the book is "the words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah".
Jeremiah is seen clearly as a real person, talking to his scribe Baruch about his role as a servant of God who had bad news for the people.
His book is a message to the Jews in exile in Babylon, saying that the disaster of exile is God's response to Israel's pagan worship.
The people, says Jeremiah, are like an untrue wife and children who act badly.
This made God punish them, but He will also welcome them back if they change their ways.
Jeremiah began began his work in the thirteenth year of king Josiah (about 627 BC) and finished in the eleventh year of king Zedekiah (586 BC), when Jerusalem went into exile.
During this period, Josiah reformed their religion, Babylon destroyed Assyria and Egypt briefly made Judah their subject.
Then Babylon defeated Egypt and made Judah their subject (605 BC).
Judah revolted several times and after the final time, Babylon destroyed Jerusalem and its Temple and took away its king and many of the leading people in 586 BC.
Jeremiah 13:1–11: He wore a linen waistband, buried it and later got it again.
Jeremiah 16:1–9: He didn't get married or go to funerals or happy events.
Jeremiah 19:1–13: He bought a clay jug and the broke it in front of the religious leaders of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 27–28: He wore an ox yoke which was later broken.
Jeremiah 32:6–15: He bought a field for seventeen silver coins.
Jeremiah 35:1–19: He gave wine to the Rechabites, a tribe who lived in tents and didn't drink wine.
Jeremiah's name is found in the Chronicles and the Book of Ezra, both written after the exile.
He said that the exile would last 70 years.
This was mentioned in the Book of Daniel.
The Book of Lamentations (Eikha, ʾēḫā(h)) is a book of the Bible Old Testament and Jewish Tanakh.
It is traditionally read by the Jewish people on Tisha B'Av, the fast day that commemorates the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem.
In Western Christianity, readings and songs from the book are used in the Lenten religious service known as Tenebrae (Latin for darkness).
In the Church of England, readings are used at Morning and Evening Prayer on the Monday and Tuesday of Holy Week, and at Evening Prayer on Good Friday.
The book has been thought to be the work of Jeremiah by Jews from 200 B.C. and by Christians from 400 A.D.  The book itself does not tell who wrote it, so the author is uncertain.
It is a series of sad poems about the destruction of Jerusalem.
Beginning with the reality of disaster, Lamentations ends with the thought that God may have finally rejected Israel (chapter 5:22).
The poet says that this suffering is a just punishment, still God is held to have had choice over whether to act in this way and at this time.
Hope arises from remembering God's past goodness.
The poem says that the mercies of Yahweh (the God of Israel) never end, but are new every morning (3:22–33).
The book was written in Hebrew.
That language has 22 letters in its alphabet.
Each of the verses in chapters 1, 2 and 4 start with the next letter of the alphabet.
In Chapter 3 groups of 3 verses also start with the same letters.
That is why chapters 1,2 and 4 have 22 verses and chapter 3 has 66 verses.
Chapter 5 also has 22 verses, but does not follow the method of using a different letter for each verse.
This type of structure is called an acrostic and may have been used as an aid to memory.
The Book of Ezekiel, Hebrew: ספר יחזקאל , is a book of the Hebrew Bible and of the Old Testament.
It is named after the prophet Ezekiel.
It belongs to the Nevi'im (Prophets) and consists of 48 chapters.
The book begins with a vision of beings with 4 heads surrounded by rings adorned with eyes.
Then, God appears to Ezekiel and instructed him to warn the Israelites who at the time, were religiously rebellious.
Another well known dream that the prophet saw was a valley full of dry bones that came to life when the prophet spoke to them.
This was to show that God would bring life back to the people who were being punished by being taken captive by Babylon These two stories have been made into songs.
The book says that Daniel is its writer in several places, such as 9:2 and 10:2.
Jesus warned his disciples about coming events when he talked about " 'the abomination that causes desolation', spoken of through the prophet Daniel".
The book was probably completed shortly after Cyrus captured Babylon in 539.
The Book of Daniel has two main parts.
Chapters 1-6 tell stories about Daniel and his three friends who were taken from the land of Israel to Babylon.
They were told to stop worshiping their God and instead follow the gods of Babylon or the king.
When they would not obey, God saved them by doing miracles The two most well known of these stories are when three of Daniel's friends are put in a hot furnace, but are unharmed when a forth man appears to help them.
Another story is about Daniel being put into a den of lions because he would not stop praying to his God, but the hungry lions did not eat him.
Daniel said that God had "shut the mouth of the lions".
We get the English saying, "He saw the handwriting on the wall" from another story in Chapter 5 where the king was having a party and a hand appeared and wrote some strange words on the wall.
Daniel was able to tell the king that this meant that he was about to be killed and another king would take his place.
We use this phrase "handwriting on the wall" to mean that someone sees that something bad is about to happen or something good is about to end.
The second part of the Book of Daniel (Chapters 7-12) tell about dreams and visions that Daniel had that told about world history and also about things that would happen in the future.
The main point of these visions was that God would win out over all of the kingdoms of the world.
Many things that Daniel saw are later mentioned in the New Testament book of Revelation.
In Chapter 9 Daniel tells of 70 weeks that were about the future.
Bible scholars believe that each week represents 7 years and so it refers to 490 years, (70 times 7 years).
Daniel says that after that time Messiah would be "cut off".
Christians think this may refer to the time Jesus was killed.
Understanding the detailed meaning of the 70 weeks prophesy has puzzled many Bible scholars and there are many opinions.
The Book of Amos is one of the books of the Nevi'im (Hebrew: "prophets") and of the Christian Old Testament.
Amos is one of the minor prophets.
Amos lived during the time of two other prophets,Hosea and Isaiah, around 750 BC while Jeroboam was king of Israel and Uzziah was king of Judah.
Amos lived in the kingdom of Judah but preached in the northern Kingdom of Israel.
He wrote about social justice, God's power, judgement and eventual restoration.
The message is harsh, but Amos wrote some of the most poetic parts of the Bible.
The book has 9 chapters.
In the first chapter Amos says that God will punish many of the nations around Israel.
Then in the second chapter he uses similar words to say the Judah and Israel will also be punished.
The rest of the book tells the reasons for that punishment before ending with a promise that Israel would then be restored.
Chapter 5 verse 24, "But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream."
This verse was often quoted by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr..
Chapter 6 verse 1, "Woe to you who are at ease in Zion,(Jerusalem)."
This is a warning to those who think they are safe from God's judgement because things are going well at the present.
