This Week's Reading: Nahum; Habakkuk; Zephaniah
Come Follow Me Insight #1
Nahum’s name means “consoler.” He must have been a consoling prophet for the Israelites. He didn’t point out their own sins, but focused on the downfall of their enemies! That must have been a nice break for them. (Source)
Come Follow Me Insight #2
The words of Habakkuk parallel those of Joseph Smith in Liberty Jail. They both cried out, “O Lord, how long. . . ?” (Habakkuk 1:2 and D&C 121:3)
Come Follow Me Insight #3
Just how many prophets were contemporaries with Lehi and where were they?

- Jeremiah
- Nahum
- Zephaniah
- Habakkuk
- Obadiah
