Nachum

Nahum

YHWH is slow to anger

HaSippur

A century after Jonah, Nineveh has returned to its cruelty. This time there is no call to repent — only the announcement that Elohim's patience has a limit. The city that terrorised nations will fall and never rise again.

Key Themes
  • Elohim is slow to anger — but He does not leave the guilty unpunished
  • Oppressive empires always fall
  • Adonai is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble
