🔥 The
Story of Nahum — God’s Justice Against Nineveh
Part One: A
Message of Judgment
Nahum prophesied against Nineveh, the
capital of Assyria, known for cruelty and oppression.
“The Lord is a jealous and avenging God; the
Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath.”
The city had terrorized other nations,
including Israel, and God promised that their time of punishment had come.
Part Two:
The Fall of the Wicked
Nahum described Nineveh’s destruction vividly:
- Walls
broken
- Soldiers
defeated
- People
fleeing in fear
God’s power is unmatched, and no nation can
escape His justice.
“The shields of the soldiers are red; the
warriors are clothed in scarlet.”
God ensures that evil is punished, and
oppression is not left unchecked.
Part Three:
Comfort for God’s People
Though Nahum’s message is one of judgment, it
also brings comfort to those who trust God:
- Israel
could see that God protects the faithful
- Oppressors
would not prevail forever
- God’s
justice reassures His people
“The Lord is good, a refuge in times of
trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him.”
Even in difficult times, God is a stronghold
for those who rely on Him.
Part Four:
Lessons from Nahum
Nahum teaches us:
- God is
just and punishes wickedness
- Oppression
and cruelty will not go unnoticed
- God is
a refuge and protector for those who trust Him
- Justice
and mercy are both expressions of God’s character
