NOTHING CAN HEAL YOUR WOUND / NAHUM 3:19

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 3:19

 There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?

NOTHING CAN HEAL YOUR WOUND / NAHUM 3:19

Nineveh would be completely destroyed and never again rebuilt. After the city fell in 612 B.C., it became a deserted and desolate area for animals and birds (Zephaniah 2:13-15).

ARE YOU BETTER THAN THEBES / NAHUM 3:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 3:8

 Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?

ARE YOU BETTER THAN THEBES / NAHUM 3:8

Because the Ninevites believed no one could defeat them, they failed to recall how God had brought down other great cities, such as the city of Thebes in Egypt, conquered by the Assyrians in 66 B.C.

I AM AGAINST YOU / NAHUM 3:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 3:5

Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

I AM AGAINST YOU / NAHUM 3:5

Because of Nineveh’s terrible offenses against God, the Lord Himself would personally expose the corruption and deep darkness in the hearts of its residents. God declared that He would destroy them. No power on earth can protect a nation that has made God its enemy and whom God has determined to oppose. When sin reaches a certain level in any society, God will expose the people to shame by bringing down all their means of security and leaving them completely open to the consequences of their rebellion. Such a society will crumble in defeat.

PROSTITUTION … WITCHCRAFT / NAHUM 3:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 3:4

because of the multitude of the whoredoms
of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts,
that selleth nations through her whoredoms,
and families through her witchcrafts.

PROSTITUTION … WITCHCRAFT / NAHUM 3:4

Sin never exists in isolation. That is to say, one offense against God will most likely lead to another. That is because sin spreads and multiplies like an infectious disease. Not only were the Assyrians brutally cruel, but they were also extremely immoral. 

  1. From the outside, Nineveh appeared attractive. But on the inside, she was full of cult prostitution, ungodly behavior and shameful activity of all kinds. The city was also heavily involved in witchcraft, black magic (rituals done for evil purposes or to call on evil spirits) and spiritism (the belief that the living can communicate with the dead). These wicked practices allowed demons and evil spirits to control the people’s lives. 
  2. The relationship between these two elements is clear: exposing yourself to sin and its traps is the same as opening up your life to the influence and even the control by demonic spirits.

THE CITY OF BLOOD / NAHUM 3:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Nahum 3:1

Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;

THE CITY OF BLOOD / NAHUM 3:1

Nineveh is called “the city of blood” because of how it had cruelly murdered large numbers of conquered peoples.

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

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