Nahum
Summary: Nahum is who Jonah wanted to be. Nineveh had finally pushed God to anger and it was Nahum who pronounced God's Judgment on the city and the lands of Assyria. It is not know wether Nahum wrote this before or after that fall of Assyria, but one thing can be said is that Nahum u clse name means comforter brought comfort to Judah and Israel with his words.
Things I Noticed:
1. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power.
2. The way of the Lord is in the whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
3. The mountains quake before him and the hills melt.
4. I will make your grave for you, for you are vile.
5. Behold, upon the mountains, the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace.
6. The shield of the mighty men is red; his soldiers are clothed in scarlet.
7. And all the countless whorings of the prostitute, graceful and of deadly charms, who betrays nations with her who rings, and peoples with her charms. (Milday D'Winter in Three Musketeers exemplifies this.)
Well, I finished reading our Nahum prophet. The journey continues through Matthew the tax collector who Jesus called friend, while the next prophet I will visit will be Habakkuk. Till then, Read up, Post up, and Shalom.
