Nahum 1 · Grade 3
A Stronghold in Trouble
Read the Story
Nahum 1:1 calls this a revelation about Nineveh. It is the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. Nineveh was a great city that had been very cruel.
Nahum says Yahweh is slow to anger and great in power. But he will not leave the guilty unpunished. He has his way in the whirlwind and the storm. The mountains quake before him.
Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble. He knows those who take refuge in him. God tells his people he will break the yoke off them. He will burst their bonds. Nahum says, Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace!
