“Woe to the Bloody City”
Nahum 3
Cliff Blair
The prophet Nahum vividly depicts the impending destruction of the city of Nineveh for its relentless violence, lies, and sorcery. Despite Ninevah having repented in Jonah’s time, the city reaps what it sowed through its barbarism in Nahum’s era. Nahum presents a choice to all of us: the Ninevah of Jonah or Nahum. Not in history or geography, but in Christ or not.
