“The Lord is slow to anger but great in power” (1:3). Ninevah was the capital of the oppressive Assyrian Empire, known for their “endless cruelty” (3:19). Nahum calls Ninevah the “city of blood”, filled with war sounds: “the crack of whip, the clatter of wheels, galloping horses and jolting chariots” (3:2). The “piles of dead” grieved God and provoked judgment. Nahum reminded Judah that God is a “refuge” for those who trust Him, but He will not “leave the guilty unpunished” (1:3,7).

“Look, there on the mountains, the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace!” (1:15). God abhors the world’s violence and sin, and He will bring judgment. He looks for those who long for and welcome His kingdom of peace.
