One thing that helps us in interpreting books of Scripture is realizing that the book’s writer was not writing when the action of the book was taking place, but later, and often to a new generation.

It is often thought that there is either election or there is free will. They are both operative in the salvation of every individual who comes to believe in Jesus.

In Nahum & the other prophets, we see cosmic language to indicate a major transition from one kingdom to another.

Nahum is about the fall of the Assyrian Empire in 612 B.C. Nahum uses mostly figurative language to describe it.

Nahum writes to encourage God's people of the impending doom not of them, but of their longtime troubler, Assyria.

The Bible is our sole & adequate guide for faith & life, a Micah summary, and an introduction to Nahum.

How seeing first Micah’s message to his people helps us understand Jesus.

Understanding how the prophets speak & use images.
