Nahum 1:
God is jealous, avenging, and
he avenges his foes. God is slow to anger, great in power, and the guilty
never goes unpunished. God is good and is a great refuge for those who
trust in him. God will end Nineveh with an overwhelming flood because it
plots wickedness and evil against God. God is going to destroy their idols and
leave no descendants to bear their name because they are vile. Judah must
rejoice because the wicked and godless will never invade again. Nineveh
was part of Assyria, who was one of the oppressors of Judah, and after God used
Jonah to forgive them for their wickedness they went back again to doing evil
even against God.
Nahum 2:
An attacker advances against
Nineveh, but God will restore Judah from its ruin. Nineveh will prepare
for war with its best warriors, but they will stumble, the gates open, and their
palace collapse. Nineveh will be emptied of all her treasures and all its
citizens exiled as slaves (about 200 years after Jonah). Could it be that African slavery was a result
of our disobedience and wickedness towards God? |

Nahum 3:
Woe to
Nineveh the city of blood. It is never without victims, lies, or plunder.
There will be corpse all over the land because of their lust for harlots, as
well as enslaving nations for prostitution and peoples by her witchcraft. God is
going to show Nineveh's shame and nakedness to the world so that all will flee
from her disgrace. Nineveh was not greater than Thebes, which was
surrounded by the Nile River for defense and also had Egypt, Sudan/Ethiopia (Cush),
Put, and Libya as her allies, and yet was taken captive and exiled. Everyone who hears the fall of Assyria
& its capital,Nineveh, will clap their
hands at their fall because they all felt its cruelty.
