Nahum is a prophesy against the city of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria. As my Old Testament professor, Dr. Betts, said, "This is the prophesy that Jonah wanted to preach!" The message is Assyria will be destroyed, like they did to the northern tribes of Israel, and everywhere else they went, and Judah will not have to worry about them any more. In this book, we see the Lord's wrath is real, and even though He is patient and longsuffering, there is a day when His patience will end in His time not ours. He does keep His promises, both the ones to bless and the ones to judge.
