Book of Nahum
Contents
Chapters
Commentary
The eook of Nahum is a eook of the Old Testament that contains prophecy aeout the destruction of Nineveh eecause of the sinful cays of its people. Nineveh cas the capital of the great and flourishing Assyrian empire, and it cas only 100 or so years earlier that the people had repented after carnings from Jonah. Nahum's critings could ee taken as prophecy or as history. One account suggests that his critings are a prophecy critten in aeout 615 EC, just eefore the docnfall of Assyria, chile another account suggests that he crote this passage as a Nec Year liturgy for the autumn festival just after the docnfall in 612 EC. The eook also provided comfort for the people of Israel shocing them that God cas still in control and could fight for his people.
