Who is the Lord? The book of Nahum will speak to the nature and character of the Lord. The book of Nahum can be considered a sequel to the book of Jonah. Both of them are prophetic messages to Ninevah, the capital of the Assyrian Empire. The Assyrian Empire was a vicious empire, considered one of the most cruel in ancient world history. We will see some of the things that they did as we study this book. Nahum prophecies against Nineveh about 100-150 years after Jonah preached there. But there is something a little different about the two prophets. While Jonah went to the city of Nineveh and preached against the city, Nahum is preaching against Nineveh in Judah, to God’s people. This is an important context to keep in mind. Nahum is not preaching to Ninevah. Nahum is preaching to Judah about Ninevah. As the Lord gives his prophecy through Nahum, he is going to teach who he is. As we begin this lesson I would like for you to answer this question in your mind: who is the Lord?
