Nahum 1 · Grade 4

Slow to Anger, Great in Power

Name Date

Read and Think

Nahum 1:1 calls this a revelation about Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. Nineveh was the capital of Assyria, an empire that had hurt many nations. This book announces that God would bring its cruelty to an end.

Nahum begins by describing God. Yahweh is jealous for his people and will judge his enemies. He is slow to anger and great in power, and he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. He has his way in the whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. The mountains quake and the earth trembles at his presence.

In the middle of this mighty picture comes a gentle verse: Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knows those who take refuge in him. To his suffering people God promises, I will break his yoke from off you. The chapter ends with a messenger on the mountains who brings good news and publishes peace. Judah can keep its feasts again.

Nahum 1 · Grade 5

Good News on the Mountains

Name Date

Read and Think

Nahum 1:1 calls this book a revelation about Nineveh and the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. The book of Jonah showed God's mercy to Nineveh when it turned from evil; Nahum shows God's justice when cruelty continues. Both reveal the same God.

Nahum opens with a hymn about God's character. Yahweh is a jealous God who avenges wrong. Yet verse 3 balances this: Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. These words echo God's description of himself to Moses. Creation responds to him: the sea dries up, the mountains quake, and the earth trembles at his presence. Who can stand before his indignation?

Then verse 7 offers comfort: Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him. The same power that judges the oppressor protects the oppressed. God tells Judah, I will break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart. The chapter ends with joy: behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Isaiah 52:7 uses the same picture, and in the New Testament, Paul quotes it in Romans 10:15 about those who preach the gospel.

Show What You Know

  1. How do Jonah and Nahum show two sides of God's character?

  2. How does verse 3 balance God's patience and justice?

  3. Why is verse 7 a comfort in this chapter?

  4. Where does the New Testament use the picture of feet bringing good news?
