Today: [Nahum 1] The Christian’s Response in Time of Judgment. Nahum ch. 1 describes a time of ultimate judgment for the Assyrian empire that took the northern kingdom into captivity. During this time he cautions the Jews not to rejoice over the destruction of Assyria, but to maintain solemnity before God and to keep their own vows of obedience to Jehovah. This is a timely study for those of us who follow after God in the midst of a season when ungodliness is being so exposed and dealt with in popular culture.
