Nahum (meaning "comfort") prophesies against the cruel nation of Assyria. He reminds the people of Judah that God is in control of history and will not allow evil to prevail forever. Nahum prophesies that the Assyrian city of Nineveh will fall, which does happen in 612 B.C. Kingdoms built on wickedness and tyranny must eventually fall, as Assyria did. As you read this book take comfort that God is the Lord of history and he will have his way.
