Nahum's Prophecy Against Nineveh

Nahum in his first chapter talks about God and how the Assyrians will be plotting group. He talks about how God will be taking vengeance against those who are enemies of His people. But then he talks directly to Nineveh. He talks about the destruction that is about to come about. He jabs at the cites defenses and reminds them how oppressed they really are.

Nahum drives home the guilt of Nineveh. He explains that they are prowling on the innocent and ends up killing them. Or how this city is like a prostitute who enslaves others by witchcraft. Basically they are evil! God is clearly against them in this reading. He even explains that people will clap their hands when they fall to their demise. I mean there really is no pity to be had for these Godless people.

No one cries or feels for the cruel people. Ahh, but we can know the relief that he talks about from this oppression. God will give us that relief in His own time. But be rest assured it will come to you and me!
