God's Word: Nahum by ric gustafson
The author of this book is Nahum the Elkoshite. The book was written between 663 and 612 BC. The book talks about how powerful wicked Nineveh will fall before God's judgment. Nineveh was the capital of the Assyrian Empire. Nineveh was targeted for judgment by God. This is because of it's sins of idolatry and cruelty. Nahum's prophecy came true when the Babylonian Empire overran Nineveh in 612 BC.
Nineveh repented because of Jonah. A century later, it was to experience the full consequence of it's sins.
