Nahum Chapter 3 – Commentary and Explanation Photo by  Marek Studzinski  on  Unsplash Alright, here we are— Nahum chapter 3 . The final chapter in the book of Nahum. And man, it's heavy. It’s like a thunderstorm that just won’t let up until every drop has been poured out. If you’ve read the previous two chapters, you already know this prophecy ain't some light bedtime story. It’s fierce. It’s raw. It's God letting loose His judgment on Nineveh , the capital of Assyria —a city that was once strong, proud, and terrifying to everyone around. But now? Now it's headed straight for destruction. So let's buckle up and walk through this chapter. There's a lot to take in. The imagery? Intense. The message? Unmistakable. The God behind it all? Righteous and holy, and He ain't turning a blind eye to evil. Verse 1 – “Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery; the prey does not depart.” Boom. First verse hits like a sledgehammer. Nahum doesn’t ease...

  Nahum Chapter 2 – Commentary and Explanation Photo by  Marek Studzinski  on  Unsplash So here we go—Nahum Chapter 2. This chapter is one of those dramatic, heavy, almost cinematic parts of the Bible. It’s like reading an ancient war movie scene, complete with soldiers, shields, and city gates crashing down. But it’s not just about physical war. It’s about God’s justice, His control over nations, and how He doesn’t forget the violence and cruelty of evil empires. If you’ve ever felt like the wicked always get away with it, Nahum 2 might hit you right in the heart. Because it reminds us that judgment might take time, but it’s coming. Let’s break this chapter down verse by verse, and unpack all the emotion, intensity, and truth it holds. Verse 1: “He who scatters has come up before your face. Man the fort! Watch the road! Strengthen your flanks! Fortify your power mightily.” Okay, this verse jumps right in, doesn’t it? “He who scatters”—now that’s a poetic way o...

  Nahum Chapter 1 – Commentary and Explanation Photo by  Marek Studzinski  on  Unsplash Alright, so today we’re diving into Nahum chapter 1 , and let me tell you—this little chapter packs a serious punch. You might miss it if you're just skimming through the minor prophets, but this book? It's anything but minor when it comes to what it reveals about God. Nahum starts off strong, right out the gate, with a vision that shows us God's power, His wrath, His justice, and—yep—His goodness too. Let’s break it all down, verse by verse. Verse 1 – The burden against Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. We begin with the word burden . That word isn't just some poetic start. It means heavy message—a judgment coming down like weight. This message is for Nineveh , the capital of Assyria, which had a brutal reputation for violence and oppression. They were a military powerhouse, ruthless and feared. But now, the tables are turning. Nahum, the prophet from...

Introduction to the Book of Nahum – Commentary and Explanation Photo by Marek Studzinski on Unsplash Whew, here we go again. Another minor prophet, another explosive message from God. And this one? It’s fierce. It’s poetic. It’s sharp like a sword cutting through injustice and pride. We’re diving into the book of Nahum . One of those books you might accidentally flip past without noticing, tucked in near the back of the Old Testament. Just three short chapters. But don’t let its size fool you—Nahum packs a punch that echoes through history. Nahum’s message is all about judgment , justice , and God’s righteous wrath —but also about comfort for the people of God. It’s a tale of two cities, really: Nineveh , the mighty capital of Assyria, and Jerusalem , under pressure, battered, tired. One’s about to fall hard. The other is about to breathe a sigh of relief. Let’s walk slowly, chapter by chapter, but first... let’s take a big-picture look. Who was Nahum? Well, the Bible doesn’t t...
