Nineveh Revisited… After Jonah

A devotional reflection from my Bible reading today using the “Necessary Food” Bible reading plan: 1 Chronicles 11:1-47; Proverbs 25:15-28; Nahum 2:1-13; Acts 2:14-41; Hebrews 13:20-25

I’m reading the short prophecy of Nahum in my Bible reading today…

It’s always interesting to me that one of the greatest, most dramatic revivals in human history took place in Nineveh under the prophetic preaching of Jonah… REVIVAL! … And then a rather short time later, JUDGMENT! (Prophesied by Nahum) … Reminds me of the revival history of America in many ways (in fact, we should learn from this scenario!!). The impact of turning to God in revival must be sustained!

This “tidbit” from Nahum especially impressed me this morning… The Lord speaks through Nahum and says… “YOUR ENEMY is coming to crush you Nineveh! Man the ramparts! Watch the roads! Prepare your defenses! Call out your forces!” (Nahum 2.1)

The question is… WHO IS THEIR ENEMY?

“I AM YOUR ENEMY!” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies (Nahum 2.13). Wouldn’t want to be in their shoes, would you?!
