I AM AGAINST YOU / NAHUM 2:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 2:13

Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.

I AM AGAINST YOU / NAHUM 2:13

It was God Himself who stood opposed to Nineveh. Their brutality, cruelty and inhumane acts had been so extreme that the almighty God of the universe declared war against them. The opportunity for them to repent and turn to God for mercy was past. They would now receive the torture and grief they deserved (Revelation 18:6-8).

THE LIONS’ DEN / NAHUM 2:11-12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 2:11-12

Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid? 12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.

THE LIONS’ DEN / NAHUM 2:11-12

The Assyrians had unmercifully attacked, robbed and totally destroyed other nations, much like lions that kill and tear apart their prey. The Assyrians showed no compassion or mercy for the people. Now they would be attacked, conquered and killed without mercy (Nahum 2:10). Jesus teaches His followers about this principle when He said, “all who draw the sword will die by the sword” (Matthew 26:52; Revelation 13:10).

ITS WATER IS DRAINING AWAY / NAHUM 2:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 2:8

But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.

ITS WATER IS DRAINING AWAY / NAHUM 2:8

Some interpret this as a picture of the people fleeing from the city, like water rushing out of a large container.

THE RIVER GATES / NAHUM 2:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 2:6

The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.

THE RIVER GATES / NAHUM 2:6

These gates apparently are the floodgates or dams that controlled the Khoser River, which ran through the city. They may have been closed to gather a large body of water and then suddenly released with tremendous force to damage the walls of the city.

HE SUMMONS / NAHUM 2:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 2:5

He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.

HE SUMMONS / NAHUM 2:5

“He” is probably the Assyrian king, calling on his soldiers to resist the attackers.

SHIELDS OF HIS SOLDIERS / NAHUM 2:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 2:3

The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.

SHIELDS OF HIS SOLDIERS / NAHUM 2:3

The appearance of the attackers (Nahum 2:1) would cause much fear.

GOOD NEWS / NAHUM 1:15

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 1:15

 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

GOOD NEWS / NAHUM 1:15

This passage is similar to the passage in Isaiah 52:7.

  1. The good news for Judah was that the Assyrians would be completely destroyed so they could no longer attack their cities. 

In the same way, New Testament preachers, missionaries and anyone who spreads the message about forgiveness and new life through faith in Christ are also bringing good news. In fact, this is the greatest news we could receive because it announces freedom from the bondage of sin and Satan’s power. It also provides the opportunity for peace and eternal life with God (Romans 10:15, which uses the image in this passage to make the pint about messengers of the gospel of Christ). At a time in the future that is determined by God, sickness and sorrow will be totally removed from the presence of God’s people, the ungodly world will be destroyed, and Satan will be thrown into the fiery lake for eternity (Revelation 19-21).

PLOT AGAINST THE LORD / NAHUM 1:9

(KJV) Nahum 1:9

What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

PLOT AGAINST THE LORD / NAHUM 1:9

The Assyrians were plotting ways to destroy the city of Jerusalem and the nation of Judah, but God would not allow their plans to be carried out.

THE LORD IS SLOW TO ANGER / NAHUM 1:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 1:3

The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

THE LORD IS SLOW TO ANGER / NAHUM 1:3

God is extremely patient because He wants to give sinners time to repent (2 Peter 3:9) – to change their attitude toward Him, admit their sin, turn from their own ways and follow His purposes. However, there is a limit to His kindness and patience. Those who stubbornly continue in their own way will finally face His justified anger and judgment (Romans 11:22).
