Nahum,
like Jonah, was
a messenger of God
to Nineveh.
More than a century before Nahum’s mission, the people of Nineveh repented of
wickedness and received mercy from God
after the warning of Jonah. Nahum came to the powerful Assyrian capital
with a similar message, but this time God’s wrath would not be turned away.
Nahum graphically describes the fall of Nineveh. About two decades
later, the Babylonians
and Medes took
the city in a siege and destroyed it. It eventually fell into complete ruin.
