The Problem of Evil has often been a source of distrust and disbelief in God. Essentially, the question ask how evil and sin can co-exist with an all-powerful, all-knowing, and good God. Thankfully, the Bible really does provide us insight into the solution. Nahum provides us such an answer. Nahum is the "rest of the story" of Nineveh, essentially Jonah, part two. 100 years later, Nahum writes about the fall of Assyria and the destruction of Nineveh. Whereas in one moment, this wicked people repents and God even uses to discipline His people (Israel), in another God vindicates Himself and Israel as punishment and wrath fall upon Assyria. It is a great reminder that God has a good and redemptive purpose in everything! God does not "pass over" our sin. There is a day of reckoning and that day will be harsh and just! It may not be in our timing, but it will be in perfect timing. Message preached on Sunday, October 16, 2022 as part of the "God In The Ruins" sermon series in the Minor Prophets.
