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).

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).

A JEALOUS AND AVENGING GOD / NAHUM 1:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 1:2

 God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

A JEALOUS AND AVENGING GOD / NAHUM 1:2

“Jealous” is used here in the sense of the Lord’s eagerness and passion for protecting His people (Deuteronomy 4:24; 5:9). He would take revenge on those who opposed His Word and kingdom by justly repaying them for their rebellion and hostility toward Him and His people (Deuteronomy 32:35,41).

NINEVEH / NAHUM 1:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 1:1

The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

NINEVEH / NAHUM 1:1

Prophesying sometime between 663-612 B.C., Nahum predicted the downfall of Nineveh, Assyria’s Capital city. Nineveh had once repented of its extreme wickedness and turned to God for mercy in response to Jonah’s preaching more than 100 years earlier. However, the people had returned to their false gods and their practice of cruelty and oppression. The Assyrians had already conquered the northern kingdom of Israel and were now attacking and robbing parts of Judah. Nahum comforts God’s people by telling them that God would defend them and destroy the Assyrians. Nineveh’s fall occurred in 612 B.C., when it was conquered by a political and military alliance that included the Babylonians, Medes and Scythians.
