Brief Summary of The Book of Nahum

A century before Nahum preached in the streets of Nineveh, Jonah

preached repentance in Nineveh, the capital of Assyria. Those people repented
and were spared but during the time of Nahum Nineveh would not repent.
Nineveh fell into Babylon in 612 B.C. just a few years after Nahum’s warning.

The Book of Nahum is a vivid prediction of the fall of Assyria capital

Nineveh; they were one of the most ancient warlike heathen nations. Nahum’s
purpose was to comfort his people who were being harassed by Assyria and to
warn Assyria that they will soon meet God’s hand in destruction.
