The Lover and Defender of Israel | Nahum 2:1-7 | Week 9
For the next four weeks, we are going to be reading a PROPHETIC NEWSPAPER! Typically, newspapers report events that have already happened in the past, but since God is outside of space and time, the future can be written as if it has already happened. Chapters 2 & 3 provide more specific details and descriptions of the attack and plundering of Nineveh. Now Nahum 1:15 is actually the beginning of chapter 2 in the Hebrew Bible, and it reminds us of WHY God is stepping in to personally execute judgment on the Assyrians…He loves Israel! God has made promises to Israel that He must keep because of His own character – He is faithful – He cannot lie. This is an extremely comforting truth even for us!
