Notes: January 30, 2009 – The Book of Nahum

The burden of Ninevah (Nahum 1:1).

Do you remember Jonah? The city which had been granted repentance soon returned to its wicked ways.

The beautiful preacher (Nahum 1:15; Romans 10:15)

Nahum 2

Get ready, Ninevah, for the conquering Medes and Babylonians.

If God is against you, how can you stand? (Nahum 2:13; Nahum 3:5)

Nahum 3

Ninevah was a wicked place, full of

  • lies (v 1)
  • robbery (v 1)
  • whoredoms (v 4)
  • witchcraft (v 4)

History worth remembering (v 8-10)

A world-wide economy cannot save a wicked nation (Nahum 3:16, 19)
