—Nahum 1:1-8
by: Grace Crouch.
Nahum’s prophecy against Nineveh was given about 150 years after Jonah’s prophecy. History tells us that Nineveh’s fall did eventually happen after this prophecy. God had previously showed compassion to Nineveh, when all of the people turned from their sins, repented, and changed their ways. There is a hint to this same character of God in verse 7, even in the midst of prophetic condemnation. Though wickedness abounds around us, God is our stronghold in the day of trouble. A day of judgment comes for the world, but He knows those who take refuge in Him.
