Nahum KJV

1 month ago
22

Destruction to Nineveh (and at large the empire of Assyria) has come. Nineveh, a city of violence, idolatry, and pure evil has finally been judged by the Lord. Nahum the prophet declares this before God's people. Back in the book of Jonah we see how God had mercy on Nineveh by sending them a prophet to declare a prayer of repentance, but now this city of evil has met the extent of God's allowance of time to stop their evil ways. Ironically, let's remember now, that many prophets ago, such as Isiah and Jerimiah, God was calling the Isrialites out for the same wicked ways. So maybe, God relaid this message of destruction of Nineveh to Juda not only to uplift the broken hearts that had suffered under the affliction of Nineveh, but also to show how God could have done the same things to them.
Let God have mercy on whom He chooses, but we should not take his mercy or grace for granted (Romans 9:15). This should be an example to us about how we are all worthy of the same destruction, and so we should not look on the fall of others and rejoice but praise the Lord for his grace to not take us out in the same way. As the scriptures say; do not rejoice in the destruction and downfall of your enemies (Proverbs 24:17-18). Likewise, Jesus said to "love thy enemies" (Matthew 5:43-44).
