Nahum
| |||||||
Nineveh was a city build to last. Surrounded by high walls, fortified with two hundred towers, encircled by a deep moat, it was truly an invincible and impregnable fortress -- or so the Ninevites thought! But according to the prophet Nahum, the proud city and its inhabitants would be powerless to stand before God's coming wrath. In the 150 years since Jonah's remarkable revival, the people of Nineveh has returned to their defiant, immoral ways. Nahum's preaching is not a call to repentance (like Jonah's), but a decree of death for an evil people who have "worn out" the patience of God.
