The LORD reminds Israel of the love He showed to them as their Father, when He brought them out of Egypt, led them with love to Mount Sinai, and fed them in the wilderness. Despite the LORD's great love, however, Israel only runs farther away from their God to idols. The LORD promises that His judgment will come through the Assyrian army, and yet, even then, He promises His compassion will call His people back to Himself. St. Matthew quotes from this section of Hosea to show how Jesus has done those things that Israel did not do, and Jesus has done them perfectly in our place to be our Savior.   Rev. Dustin Beck, pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warda, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Hosea 11:1-12:1.  To learn more about Holy Cross Lutheran, visit holycrosswarda.com. “Majoring in the Minors” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Micah, and Nahum. Although the books of these prophets are shorter, the Word of God they preached was important in the years leading up to the coming of the Christ, and that Word remains important for the Church today. Just as we still need to listen to their call to repentance over our idolatry, so we still need to heed their call to trust in the Savior, Jesus.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

A @Christadelphians Video: ##SummaryThe study focuses on King Hezekiah's response to the Assyrian threat led by Rabshakeh, delving into his preparations and spiritual leadership during a national crisis. Hezekiah's strategic actions included fortifying Jerusalem and encouraging the people to trust in God, drawing on scriptural references to inspire confidence. Rabshakeh's speeches aimed to undermine this trust through psychological warfare and misinformation, but Hezekiah's steadfast faith ultimately shone through. The narrative highlights the importance of spiritual guidance and the power of silence in times of crisis.Highlights

Featured Teacher: Daniel Christensen Psalm 76 reveals how God creates peace not through negotiation but through devastating power. Like Reagan's "peace through strength" policy that ended the Cold War, God doesn't merely defend His people—He destroys their enemies so thoroughly they can never rise again. This psalm, likely commemorating God's supernatural slaughter of 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night, shows God as a Lion making His lair in Zion, establishing a divine "kill zone" around His people. The shocking truth: human wrath becomes divine praise, as even our enemies' rage serves God's glory. True security comes not from a tame God, but from an untamed Lion who fights for us.

Known as the 'King of the World' and the last great king of Assyria, Ashurbanipal bestrode the ancient Mesopotamian world as a warrior but also a scholar, ruling the great Assyrian empire at the height of its power.In this episode, Tristan Hughes is joined by Assyriologist Dr Selena Wisnom to uncover the dual legacy of this fearsome conqueror and passionate intellectual. From brutal military triumphs to the vast Library of Nineveh - packed with texts on medicine, mathematics, law, and literature - they explore how Ashurbanipal turned his capital into the greatest empire and the greatest knowledge hub of the ancient Mesopotamian world.MORERise of the Assyrians:https://open.spotify.com/episode/3Y3JdYSZ1nJ3cBXa91YzrI?si=56553edc20b0406fThe Scholars of Assyria:https://open.spotify.com/episode/5sM9ODjMw2f0JqfpsKNLoD?si=ec06ab7a656548f6Presented by Tristan Hughes.

In this episode of Oldest Stories, we explore the later reign of Tiglath-Pileser III, one of the most transformative kings of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. By the late 8th century BCE, Assyria's power seemed unstoppable, yet beneath the victories lay structural weaknesses.We examine four key failures that reveal how the empire actually worked:The eastern provincial revolts of 737 BCE, exposing the limits of Assyria's new provincial system.The failed Assyrian siege of Tushpa, capital of Urartu, and what it taught about siege warfare and logistics.The Babylonian crisis of the 730s, where Chaldeans, Arameans, and internal rebellions undermined Assyria's southern policy.The succession struggle following Tiglath-Pileser's death, setting the stage for Shalmaneser V and the rise of Sargon II.Along the way we look at Assyrian reforms, deportation policies, eunuch officials, Assyrian-Babylonian relations, and Urartian resistance. We also discuss how propaganda, letters, and oracles shaped royal decisions, and why even the greatest reforming king of Assyria faced real limits to his power.If you are interested in Ancient Mesopotamia, Assyrian history, Babylon, Urartu, Neo-Assyrian military reforms, biblical history, or the geopolitics of the ancient Near East, this episode will give you an in-depth, historically grounded perspective.I am also doing daily history facts again, at least until I run out of time again.

In this program, Tania Nissan discusses the French production documentary "Return to Babylon," the third and final episode featuring Homer Abramian, and a feature about the historic meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

In this final episode, Mr. Abramian reflects on his efforts over the past ten years to establish Cyrus Online University. He explains that he chose the name in honor of King Cyrus the Great (600–530 BC), renowned for his knowledge and fairness. However, Mr. Abramian expresses deep disappointment that no Assyrian organisation supported his vision to include an Assyrian faculty in this university. His goal was not only to teach the Assyrian language, but also to preserve and promote Assyrian literature, art, history, traditions, and customs.

As Hosea preaches from his marriage to an adulterous woman, he speaks against the spiritual adultery Israel has committed against the LORD by their idolatry. Although the LORD was always the source of all Israel's good gifts, they failed to realize this and foolishly looked to Baal for blessing. In response, the LORD promises that He will take such blessings away and make the Promised Land a wilderness. Through the coming Assyrian conquest of Samaria, the LORD will show Israel the futility of trusting in idols with the goal of drawing Israel back to Himself.  Rev. Ben Dose, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Algona, IA and St. John Lutheran Church in Burt, IA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Hosea 2:1-13.  To learn more about Trinity and St. John Lutheran, visit trinityalgona.org and stjohnsburt.org. “Majoring in the Minors” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Micah, and Nahum.

Tania Nissan is the coordinator and facilitator for the French-Assyrian documentary Return to Babylon, which will be screened at Hoyts Cinema in Wetherill Park. She spoke to SBS Assyrian about the film's story and what audiences can expect. Tania believes the documentary will leave lasting emotional memories, as it reflects on the experiences of an Assyrian-French family revisiting their homeland through powerful storytelling.

Micah 5:1-6 "Now muster your troops, O daughter of troops; siege is laid against us; with a rod as they strike Israel on the cheek. But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days. Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor shall give birth; then the rest of his brothers shall return to the people of Israel. And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God. And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth. And he shall be their peace. When the Assyrian comes into our land, and treads in our places, then we will raise against him seven shepherds and eight princes of men; they shall shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod at its entrances; and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian when he comes into our land and treads within our border."

The Assyrians are coming.This causes a devastating civil war between the northern and southern states, and a total capitulation in Jerusalem to Assyrian idolatry.

We sit down with Professor Berel Dov Lerner, finalist for the Rabbi Sacks Book Prize, to explore his phenomenal book Human–Divine Interactions in the Hebrew Scriptures: Covenants and Cross-Purposes. With a background in philosophy, Prof. Lerner examines how God's project—creating a worthy world—intersects with humanity's project of making life in this world more livable. How do divine and human interests become intertwined? How does God take human concerns into account? And how do we, in turn, project our own moral frameworks onto God, expecting to relate to Him on our terms? Our conversation ranges widely: from negative theology to the Ramḥal's vision of humanity's role in drawing divine abundance into the world through covenants and moral action. We ask whether God's plan would be acceptable if it belonged to a human being, and we explore how the Flood and Sodom narratives reveal God “tying His hands” with moral imperatives. Why does God honor His covenant with Avraham even when Sodom fails to uphold the Noahide baseline? And how does the Berit Ben HaBetarim (Covenant of the Pieces) differ from other, more reciprocal covenants? We tackle imitatio Dei (imitation of God) in the context of Korah's rebellion, and Rambam's provocative claim that we must emulate the God of nature—not the God of history—while still confronting the reality of destruction in the natural world. Prof. Lerner offers a close reading of the seemingly genocidal command to wipe out Amalek, revealing that it may not mean what it appears to. We turn to Jonah's inner conflict—his fear for Israel's future under Assyrian oppression—and consider whether God's use of the kikayon plant is a moment of divine sarcasm. Finally, we grapple with the Akeidah: Why does Avraham argue for Sodom but not for Yitzḥak? And what does his silence tell us about the real nature of this test? Tune in for Prof. Lerner's surprising take.---*This episode is dedicated to the refua shelema of Sarah Miriam bat Tamar, Binyamin ben Zilpa, and our dear friend Yaakov ben Haya Sarah Malakh---• Bio: Dr. Berel Dov Lerner is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Western Galilee College in Akko, Israel.

Chris White, with Bible Prophecy Talk Podcast, continues his 11-part series on “The Islamic Antichrist Theory” as he discusses, from the biblical text, why he believes this theory is inaccurate. Today, in Part 4, Chris focuses on the theory that the Antichrist would be an Assyrian. This view is primarily developed from Isaiah 10 and a passage in the book of Micah.  Using a contextual and exegetical approach to scripture, Chris explains why he thinks this view is artificially contrived.

The signs, visions, and prophecies included into today's reading span from the death of King Uzziah into the beginning of Ahaz's reign, who continues the lineage of Davidic kings. In chapter 6 we get an awe-inspiring sneak peek into the throne room of God. Isaiah senses that he is unfit to be in God's presence, but an angel approaches to cleanse him in a unique way. After this, the Lord God commissions Isaiah to be his messenger. In chapter 7, Isaiah prophesies to King Ahaz of a virgin who conceive and give birth to a son and name him Immanuel. This prophecy had an immediate fulfillment, as a statement about the amount of time which would pass between then and the invasion of the Assyrian king, but it has it's ultimate fulfillment in the birth of Christ.Isaiah 6 - 1:06 . Isaiah 7 - 4:16 . Isaiah 8 - 9:44 . Psalm 128 - 14:10 . Psalm 129 - 15:00 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Podcast link: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/0rxAKr2uJVbThe companion volume to The Earth Chronicles series that reveals the identity of mankind's ancient gods• Explains why these “gods” from Nibiru, the Anunnaki, genetically engineered Homo sapiens, gave Earthlings civilization, and promised to return Zecharia Sitchin's bestselling series The Earth Chronicles provided humanity's side of the story concerning our origins at the hands of the Anunnaki, “those who from heaven to earth came.” In The Lost Book of Enki we now view this saga from the perspective of Lord Enki, an Anunnaki leader revered in antiquity as a god, who tells the story of these extraterrestrials' arrival on Earth from the planet Nibiru.In his previous works Sitchin compiled the complete story of the Anunnaki's impact on human civilization from fragments scattered throughout Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Hittite, Egyptian, Canaanite, and Hebrew sources. Missing from these accounts, however, was the perspective of the Anunnaki themselves. What was life like on their own planet? What motives propelled them to settle on Earth--and what drove them from their new home? Convinced of the existence of a lost book that held the answers to these questions, the author began his search for evidence. Through exhaustive research of primary sources, he has here re-created tales as the memoirs of Enki, the leader of these first “astronauts.” What takes shape is the story of a world of mounting tensions, deep rivalries, and sophisticated scientific knowledge that is only today being confirmed. An epic tale of gods and men unfolds, challenging every assumption we hold about our past and our future.

In this message, Pastor Jim explores the leadership of King Hezekiah and what it looks like to align our lives with God as ultimate reality. Jim shows how worship and obedience help life “fit together,” even when counterfeit pieces try to slip in. Walking through 2 Kings 18–20 and 2 Chronicles 29–32, he traces Hezekiah's reforms, the Assyrian threat, a shocking illness, and Isaiah's encouragement to trust God's promise and power. Jim reminds us that faithfulness does not guarantee a painless life, but it does anchor us in the presence of God. The message culminates in how Jesus is the better Hezekiah, whose third-day victory frees us to live as temples of the living God and to worship in everyday life.

God does His best work in what we think is ________________.[2 Chronicles 33:7-9] Manasseh even took a carved idol he had made and set it up in God's Temple, the very place where God had told David and his son Solomon: "My name will be honored forever in this Temple and in Jerusalem--the city I have chosen from among all the tribes of Israel. [8] If the Israelites will be careful to obey my commands--all the laws, decrees, and regulations given through Moses--I will not send them into exile from this land that I set aside for your ancestors." [9] But Manasseh led the people of Judah and Jerusalem to do even more evil than the pagan nations that the LORD had destroyed when the people of Israel entered the land.Sometimes transformation begins when everything else ________________ ________________.[2 Chronicles 33:11-13] So the LORD sent the commanders of the Assyrian armies, and they took Manasseh prisoner. They put a ring through his nose, bound him in bronze chains, and led him away to Babylon. [12] But while in deep distress, Manasseh sought the LORD his God and sincerely humbled himself before the God of his ancestors. [13] And when he prayed, the LORD listened to him and was moved by his request. So the LORD brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh finally realized that the LORD alone is God!Rock bottom is often where _____________________ begins.[2 Corinthians 5:17] This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun![Romans 7:18-19] And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can't. [19] I want to do what is good, but I don't. I don't want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.Change requires ___________________.[1 John 1:9] But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.God transforms the person who ____________________.[Ephesians 4:22-24] throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception.

What do mass deportation, smashed testicles, and elite boarding schools have in common? In this episode, we take a hard look at the shockingly effective—and horrifyingly brutal—bureaucratic machine that powered the Neo-Assyrian Empire.With the rise of Tiglath-Pileser III in the 8th century BCE, Assyria transformed into one of the most ruthlessly efficient states the ancient world had ever seen. At the center of it all? Castrated boys turned bureaucrats—eunuchs molded through violence, trained in literacy, logistics, and loyalty, and unleashed across the empire as obedient tools of imperial administration.We dig deep into the Musharkisu, Assyrian deportation policy, and the Sha Reshutu, the near-invisible palace institution that raised and trained eunuchs. Along the way, we confront the politics of mass resettlement, the logic of destroying elite bloodlines, and the strange fate of disabled foreign boys who became indispensable civil servants.This isn't a story of ancient gender theory or Orientalist decadence. It's the story of state-sponsored brutality, administrative genius, and how the Assyrian Empire created a class of men without legacies—only loyalties.

The event will take place on Sunday, 17 August 2025, at the Ur-Ashur Club. In his address, Mr. Abramian will explore the critical missteps made by early Assyrian leadership and reflect on the valuable lessons they offer. His presentation aims to inspire the younger generation to understand the past in order to build a more informed and resilient future—one that does not repeat the errors of history.

The Assyrian Democratic Movement, in collaboration with the Assyrian Organisations Alliance, will commemorate Assyrian Martyrs Day on Thursday, 7 August, at the Assyrian Cultural and Sports Club. This solemn occasion honors the memory of those who sacrificed their lives for the Assyrian cause. Invitations have been extended to representatives across all levels of government, including local, state, and federal Members of Parliament. Mr. Emmanuel Sada, representing the Assyrian Democratic Movement, spoke to the program and emphasized the enduring significance of this day for the Assyrian community—both as a tribute to the fallen and a reminder of the resilience of a people striving to preserve their identity and rights.

What does this perspective mean to you, and how might it change the way you read the Bible? Nahum's prophecy against Nineveh comes 100 to 150 years after Jonah's. How does the contrasting message between these two prophets reflect God's justice and mercy? In what ways did Nahum emphasize both God's power and his goodness? How do you see these two aspects of God in your own life? The description of Nineveh's fall is vivid and devastating. Why do you think the Bible includes such detailed imagery when depicting the consequences of turning away from God? Jesus' statement in John 5:39, "You study the Scriptures diligently... yet the Scriptures point to me," is highlighted in the episode. What are the risks of focusing on religious rules without embracing the person of Jesus? The host mentions that some people missed God's love because they were consumed with control, rules, and judgment. What are some modern-day examples of missing God's love in similar ways? How does Jesus' healing at the pool of Bethesda challenge the religious leaders' views on the Sabbath? What message do you think Jesus was trying to convey through this act? The prayers at the end of the episode emphasize being instruments of peace, forgiveness, and love. How can these prayers inspire the way you interact with others today? The episode encourages listeners to recognize God's love already present in their hearts. What practices or habits can help you become more aware of God's love in your everyday life? Reflecting on today's readings and the discussion, how can you move from simply knowing about God to truly experiencing and living in God's love? Feel free to use these for group discussion or personal reflection! Absolutely!

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible! Today, Hunter, your host and Bible reading coach, invites you to join him as we journey through some powerful passages: Isaiah chapters 36 and 37, Psalm 76, and 1 Peter chapter 1. In this episode, we'll encounter the dramatic story of King Hezekiah's faith in the face of overwhelming odds, discover the assurance and majesty of God celebrated in the Psalms, and be encouraged by Peter's message of hope amid trials. Whether you're facing your own challenges or simply seeking a moment of peace and inspiration, Hunter reminds us that while trials are a part of life, God's strength, joy, and love are always available—waiting to help us flourish. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's be renewed by the living Word together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: There are trials ahead, but there is strength for the trial—and joy beyond that. First Peter 1:6 says, “So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while.” Trials are certain. And sometimes the “little while” doesn't seem that little, does it? We all go through trials. No one is exempt. We all face hard times—really hard times. We've all gone through a pandemic, for crying out loud. And yet our hope lies in the promise of hope and even joy beyond that. Unfortunately for many of us, the trials of this life can lead to despair and defeat. The walls of our souls begin to crumble under the weight. Hezekiah was tempted to crumble in fear and defeat. He could see the circumstances and the outcomes of all those other kingdoms that had crumbled when facing the overwhelming terror of the Assyrian king and his armies. But instead of crumbling, Hezekiah turned to God. He didn't go to Egypt for help, he didn't try to manipulate his way out by surrendering or offering some tribute, and he didn't give in to despair. No—instead, he trusted God. And God gave him the victory. But that victory took some time. Isaiah told him that it would take three years, but to hold on, because there would be joy ahead. He let him know that the first year would be hard, very lean—the people would eat only what grows up by itself. The second year, it would be a little easier—they would eat what sprang up from the first growth. But in the third year, they would see a breakthrough. In that third year, they would plant crops and harvest them. They would tend vineyards and eat their fruit. Those who escaped the ravages of the siege, who endured the hard times and had gone through the trials, would put roots down in their own soil. They would grow and flourish. There it is. We're all going to go through hard times, but there's strength available in the trials, and beyond that, there's joy. It may take some time—it may take a season or several seasons—but if we lay out our hearts before God and trust him, we can find the strength we need. If we believe him that these trials are for a season, then we can also find joy. Our roots will grow down into the soil of his faithfulness, and we will flourish. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my sons. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Gracious and everlasting God, you have brought us through the shadow of night into the promise of a new day. You go before us with your mercy, sustain us by your grace and keep us from wandering paths of fear or pride. Let every word we speak and every step we take be formed by the goodness of Christ. O Lord, gather your people far and near. May every tribe and tongue come to know your peace. Let justice roll like a river and healing flow where there has been division. Pour out your spirit upon all flesh and bring us closer to the day when your kingdom comes in fullness through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.   OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
