NAHUM 2

NINEVEH WILL BE COMPLETELY DESTROYED 

Nahum tells of the destruction of Nineveh, where the city will be overthrown, the people slaughtered, and their belongings plundered. Because the Assyrians have oppressed God’s people, God will have vengeance over Israel’s oppressors.

God previously allowed the Israelites to suffer for their rebellion, but here God will conquer the violent nation persecuting them. Although this chapter reveals a wrathful and vengeful side of God’s character, God remains faithful in working together all things for the good of those who love him. God uses Assyria’s downfall to redeem His chosen people, the Israelites.
