Nahum

The Lord’s anger against Nineveh

Oracle – message from God

A jealous & avenging God

God is slow to anger

Bashan & Carmel – very fertile areas

You can’t safely defy God

A refuge to believers & a flood to nonbelievers

Nineveh plotted evil against the Lord

Good news for Judah

Nineveh to fall

Judah will be restored

A flood will crush Nineveh

God hates deprivation of innocent people

Assyria at the point of no return

Woe to Nineveh

Enticed by a harlot

Nineveh will have the same fate as Thebes

Learn from history, not personal experience alone

Other nations will clap their hands at Nineveh’s defeat
