Nahum

Destruction of Nineveh

The book of Nahum is devoted to a prophecy predicting the destruction of the great Assyrian city of Nineveh.  Once the dominating kingdom of the east, their laxity and laziness ultimately leads to the downfall of the great city.

Chapter 1 provides a beautiful and poetic description of the power of Jehovah - a message that all of us should heed.
