Nahum

Subtopics

The prophet Nahum predicts the fall of Nineveh in the mid-7th century BC, several decades before the city actually fell in 612 BC. When he prophesied, the Neo-Assyria Empire was at the height of its power ... Nineveh is going to fall because Israel's God, Yahweh, has declared it to be guilty, and he has arrived in his terrifying might to carry out its punishment. Yahweh controls the destinies of all nations; he holds all nations accountable for their actions; and he will ultimately right all wrongs. The people of Israel, who had been crushed by the mighty forces of wicked Assyria, needed to know these truths (Dr. David Dorsey, in his book The Literary Structure of the Old Testament, page 305).
