Creation is the work of God's fingers (Ps.8:3)...punishment
of the wicked the work of God's Hand (Ps 39:10)...
salvation the work of God's Arm (Ps 77:1).
Nahum 1
This book was written about 150 years after the
book of Jonah. Try to get the meaning of it. One
view, we see that it is about the city of Nineveh...
but the whole story is a type of what is going to
happen to this same enemy in a still future day.
Nah 1:7 What a wonderful promise! May we lay hold
of it.
Nah 1:15 We also find this verse in Is.52:7,
speaking of the beautiful feet of the Lord. Nahum
means "the Lord's affliction"; and in
verse 9 we see that His "affliction shall
not rise up the second time." The Lord's
work on the cross was completed once and forever.
Now connect this with Gen. 41:52.

Each day has its work, its warfare, and its wants;
we should therefore bear in mind every morning: I
rise to work for God, to war against all that
opposes God, and to obtain a supply of grace for
all my wants from God.
Nahum 2
We read about the city of Nineveh, that had been
spared at the time of Jonah. But now, about 150
years later, the city has gone back to idol
worshipping. God is very angry with this city.
And Judah was equally guilty of idolatry.
Nah 2:6 The river may be the Tigris river. The
dams would be broken.
Nah 2:7 "Huzzab", is a symbolical name
for Nineveh. We hear a great deal about Iran and
Iraq, that is where that city was. Those
countries will be some of the enemies who will
attack Israel in the Tribulation.
Nah 2:8-13 Refer to God's punishment that would
soon take place for their great wickedness. (Today,
the world is becoming even more wicked and
violent, so let us be as separate from it as
possible.)
Chap. 3:8 Probably refers to Egypt... "whose
rampart was the sea", or the river Nile.
