Whatever evil plot you hatch against YAHWEH, he will so completely thwart that it will not rise up a second time. They will be like drunkards from their carousing— like entangled thorns, they will be consumed as dry stubble. From you, Nineveh, came one who plotted evil against YAHWEH, a wicked, worthless strategist. YAHWEH says, “Although your enemies are many and secure in their alliances, they will nonetheless be mowed down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, my people, I will not do it again. And now I will break his yoke of bondage from your neck and tear away your shackles of Assyrian oppression.” YAHWEH has decreed against you, Nineveh: “Your dynasty is over! Every idol in the temple of your gods I will destroy, your carved and engraved idols. I will dig your grave, for you are nothing to me.” What a beautiful sight to behold— the precious feet of the messenger coming over the mountains to announce good news and to proclaim peace! People of Judah, celebrate your feasts, keep your solemn promises to God, for the wicked one will never pass through you again; he is completely cut off.

3 Days
In this 3-part devotional, Pastor Dylan Dodson teaches through the book of Nahum. This plan will encourage you to trust in God’s good judgment, even in the midst of challenging times.
A century following Jonah’s proclamation of judgment and Nineveh’s repentance, Nineveh once again fell into sin. Nahum consoles Israel by prophesying the destruction of Nineveh and all of Assyria for the devastation they brought to God’s people. The prophecies in Nahum remind us that God Himself is not aloof or disinterested; rather, He is the Lord of history. He builds and destroys empires according to His good purposes.
5 Days
Have you ever experienced a season of waiting, praying, hoping, yet not seeing? You start to wonder if God can do it. Maybe you question if you deserve the answer to your prayer. Yet something within your soul says, don’t give up. Don’t stop praying. God is working. Reading the story of Elijah, we will learn to pray with expectation until we see the cloud in the clear blue sky.
Life isn’t always fair — but God is. In the book of Nahum, God promises His people that He will deal with evil, bring justice, and restore hope. This 5-day plan will walk you through God’s justice, mercy, and holiness, and show how Jesus makes a way for us to live with peace instead of fear. If you’ve ever wondered whether God sees the wrongs in the world, Nahum is a powerful reminder that He does, and He makes all things right.
