{{otheruses}} {{summary | text=Nahum was a minor prophet of the [[Old Testament]] whose prophecies are recorded in the [[Book of Nahum]]. He wrote about the end of the [[BibleAssyria]]n Empire in a vivid poetic style. Little is known about Nahum’s personal history. His name means "comforter." He was from the town of Alqosh. He was a very nationalistic Hebrew however and lived amongst the Elkoshites in peace. His writings could be taken as prophecy or as history. One account suggests that his writings are a prophecy written in about [[615 BC]], English, King Jamesjust before the downfall of Assyria, while another account suggests that he wrote this passage as a New Year liturgy for the autumn festival just after the unfortunate downfall in [[612 BC]].}} {{overview}} {{topics}}* [[Book of Nahum]] {{opinions}} {{quotes}} {{links}}* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahum Wikipedia - Nahum] {{returnto}} [[Characters of the Bible]]
