NahumMinor Prophets—Old Testament

Author: Nahum

When It Happened: 664–654 BC

Chapters: 3

Key People: Nahum, People of Nineveh, Assyrians

Summary: God spared Nineveh when they repented in the days of Jonah. However, within 100 years, Nineveh had once again become a wicked and evil city. The Assyr-ians were fiercely conquering the nations around them. God sent Nahum to tell the wicked Assyrians that they would be destroyed because of their cruelty, sin, and idol-atry. That would soon come to pass through the Babylo-nians who would wipe out the Assyrians. God’s judgment would be accomplished.

About God: God is slow to anger. But He is a jealous God and will eventually defend His honor and His people for His name’s sake and for His glory.
