The Book of Nahum

February 09, 2025

Passage: Nahum

Nahum was a prophet—someone God chose to tell people His
messages. Nahum’s name meant “comfort”—and the messages
Nahum took to the people of Judah brought comfort to the people.
Nahum lived in Judah during the time of good kings and bad
kings. The bad kings led the people to worship idols (other gods)
rather than God. The people became disobedient and forgot about
God’s commandments.
Nahum loved God. He knew that God is good and would not
allow people to continue to disobey His laws.
Nineveh was a city filled with disobedient people. Once another
prophet had warned the people in Nineveh to stop disobeying
and start following God. And the people did for a while. Then they
started disobeying again.
So, God sent Nahum to the city of Nineveh to warn the people
again.
Nahum told the people that God is good and strong. God loved
the people, but He could not allow them to keep on disobeying
Him. God was angry with the people. He would have to punish
them.
Nahum told the people they must listen and obey.
“God is good,” Nahum said to the people in Nineveh. “He cares
for the people who come to Him for help.”
