God doesn't ignore injustice—He sees it all and will ultimately act to make things right. Nahum's powerful prophecy about the fall of Nineveh shows us a God who is patient yet powerful, offering comfort to His people who were living under oppression.

• Nahum's prophecy focuses on Nineveh's coming judgment after they returned to evil ways
• God had sent Jonah to Nineveh generations earlier, and they initially repented
• Assyria was known for brutality, terror tactics, and cruelty toward other nations
• Nahum describes God as both slow to anger and committed to justice
• Three specific prophecies were fulfilled exactly as Nahum predicted—floodwaters breaking the city, unprepared leaders, and destruction by fire
• Nahum's vivid, poetic imagery paints God as a storm, showing His power over nature
• The message offers comfort by showing God sees injustice and will address it
• The ultimate good news isn't just that evil is punished but that God offers refuge
• We can trust God to make things right rather than seeking revenge ourselves

Join us next week as we explore the book of Zephaniah, which offers a message about coming judgment but also beautiful pictures of God's joy over His people. Share this episode with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe on YouTube so you don't miss what's next.
