Nahum Intro - EasyEnglish Bible 2024（EASY）

IntroAbout the Book of NahumIn this book, Nahum tells the people in Nineveh that God will punish them.Nineveh was the capital city of Assyria. At that time, the people in Assyria were very rich and powerful. They were also very cruel. They were enemies of God's people in Israel and Judah. They attacked God's people and the people of other countries.God had already sent the prophet Jonah to warn the people of Nineveh. Those people believed Jonah, and they decided to obey God. So God did not punish them at that time.But then the people did wrong things again, so God was angry with them again. Nahum told them that God would punish them for all the wrong things that they had done.After Nahum said these things, Babylon's army did come and destroy Nineveh. This happened in about 612 BC.
