Truth:
1. Whereas Jonah brought, or extended, God's salvation to Nineveh, Nahum brought God's judgment upon that sinful city.
2. In Nahum, we see both the fact and the cause of God's judgment on Nineveh.
3. Nahum means "comfort" and "avenge," signifying that Jehovah God comforts His elect, Israel, and avenges Israel of her enemy, Nineveh.
4. The cities of Babel and Nineveh were built by Nimrod and became the capitals of the nations of Babylon and Assyria.
5. The destruction of Nineveh is for the restoration of the excellency of Israel.
6. Gods wonderful preserving act was carried out by the locusts. God used one kind of locusts to deal with another kind of locust in order to preserve Israel.
