Nahum 1:1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

The name 'Elkoshite', probably used to distinguish him from others with the same name who may have lived back in his day.

Nahum 1:2.God is jealous and revenges.(?). God revenges and is furious taking vengeance on his adversaries and he reserves wrath for his enemies.

Nahum 1:3 God is slow to anger and great in power and will not at all acquit the wicked who are steeped in their wickedness.(1Timothy 4:2). God has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

In other words, the true God of all creation and of all love, is in complete control, even though we may not see it that way. If God is in control of all, surely this includes also the evil?

Genesis 15:16.

Nahum 1:6 Who can stand before his indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire and the rocks are thrown down by him.

2Timothy 2:15,16,19.

Nahum 1:8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

Clarke's Commentary: 'But with an overrunning flood', Bishop Newcome thinks this may refer to the manner in which Nineveh was taken. The Euphrates overflowed its banks, deluged a part of the city and overturned twenty stadia (an ancient Roman unit of length, equal to about 607 feet {185 meters} from which comes the word stadium) of the wall, in consequence of which the desponding king burnt himself and his palace with his treasures. ...Diodor, edited by Wessel, page 140, library ii, section 27. Like today, most of the controllers and rulers are not sane. These psycopaths and sociopaths are the ones most people trust.

Nahum 1:13 For now will I break his yoke from off you and will burst your bonds in sunder.

Nahum 3:1 Woe to the bloody city!.(Nahum 1:1 above)).it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departs not.

Comprised with.JFB Commentary:."the prey departs not", that is, Nineveh never ceases to live by rapine. The Hebrew verb is transitive, 'she (Nineveh) does not make the prey depart', that is, she ceases not to plunder.

Nahum 3:3 The horseman lifts up both the bright sword and the glittering spear and there is a multitude of slain and a great number of carcases and there is no end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses.

Nahum 3:4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that sells nations through her whoredoms and families through her witchcrafts.

They even killed people if there's selfish advantage to be gained, like today with the covid con's nonsense many fell for.

Nahum 3:7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee and say, Nineveh is laid waste, who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

Nahum 3:8 Are you better than populous No.(this city also mentioned in Jeremiah 46:25; Ezekiel 30:14), that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea and her wall was from the sea?

Nahum 3:9 Ethiopia.(Genesis 10:6).and Egypt were her strength and it was infinite; Put and Lubim.(Libya).were thy helpers.

Nahum 3:18,19 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria. Your nobles shall dwell in the dust. Your people is scattered upon the mountains and no man gathers them. There is no healing of your bruise. Your wound is grievous. All that hear the bruit.(repeated news).of you shall clap the hands over you, for upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually?
