Key Verse
“The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.”— Nahum 1:7
Points to Christ: The Righteous Judge
Patient, but not endlessly so. Mercy refused becomes judgment certain.
For the Fire Pit
Nineveh got mercy in Jonah’s day. A century later, Nineveh got Nahum. The same God who relents also reckons.
