2012 Reading Through
The Bible Blog

Nahum – August 3

8/3/2012

2 Comments

 
Nahum prophesies against Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, about 100 years after Jonah had seen the city repent and turn from their sin, and in about 50 years after the prophecies the city was destroyed. As Nahum 1:3 says, “The LORD is slow to anger” but, “will not at all acquit the wicked.” The LORD was glad to relent of the disaster planed for them when they repented, but they had quickly gone back to their old ways. Nineveh had gone back to its idolatry and sorcery; Nahum 3:1 says it was a “bloody city” and goes on to say, “It is all full of lies and robbery. Its victim never departs.”  The last verse of the book lets us know that everyone who hears the news of its destruction would be happy because their wickedness (violence) had affected every nation.

So glad God is slow to anger, and gives time to people and cities to repent. Important scripture to keep this in mind when praying.

True, Moses interceded for Israel with this truth.
