We don’t have to look beyond our own community to see the suffering in this world. But God sees it, too—and He is doing something about it. When we say God is sovereign, it means these issues are safe in His hands. That’s the message we learn from the prophet Nahum. As we study the sins and destruction of Nineveh, we’ll realize even now how God is moving against evil in our world today.

Is our nation like Assyria? In Nahum, chapter 3, we’ll examine the indicators like a deceitful government and news media, a false sense of security among people, and a growing interest in witchcraft and the occult. While the indicators may not be in our favor, Dr. McGee encourages us to intercede for our nation before the Father.

Although the people of Nineveh ultimately repented and God did not destroy them as Jonah had warned, it’s now 100 years later. The people of Nineveh have forgotten the mercy of God and are back to their treacherous ways. How will Nahum handle them? Will he destroy their idols? Will they repent? Will God save and restore them? Will He save us when we sin?

Jonah’s message to Nineveh revealed the love of God, and Nahum’s message reveals his justice. As we learn that God is patient and slow to anger, we’ll also learn that when He punishes countries and evil doers, it’s really out of love.
