NAHUM
READING PLAN + STUDY QUESTIONS
HOW TO USE
READ THE CHAPTERS IN THE BIBLE FOR EACH SESSION
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS + REFLECT ON THE READING
This study encourages going at your own pace, allowing each session to be a day, a week, or however long you need. Each session contains questions to be used for individual reflection or small group discussion.
This study was made to be used alongside Bible reading. Although we have created chapter summaries, there is no substitute for reading God's Word.
NAHUM 1-3
PROPHECIES OF THE DAY OF THE LORD + THE HOLY SPIRIT
How does Nahum’s portrayal of God’s judgment upon Nineveh shape your understanding of God’s justice?
Nahum 1:3 says that God is “slow to anger.” How do you reconcile this with the destruction described in this book?
Nahum 1:7 describes God as “a stronghold in the day of trouble.” How does this offer hope to those who take refuge in Him during difficult times?
Nineveh was once a city that repented under Jonah’s preaching but later returned to wickedness. What does this teach about the importance of ongoing faithfulness to God?
How does Nahum show that God is in control of nations and history? How can this shape our view of current events?
Nahum described Nineveh’s destruction as a result of their arrogance and violence. How does this challenge us to examine our own hearts and actions?
