 | | Nahum brought his generation a message from God about his relationship with his people: God is a warrior who is coming to free his people from the oppressive dominance of wicked Assyria. | | | When we read the Book of Nahum in conjunction with the Book of Revelation, we are reminded that Jesus Christ is coming again at the end of time to put an end to all evil, whether spiritual or human (Rev 19:11-21). | | | The book begins with a hymn of praise to God the divine warrior. |

| | It is clear from Nahum's book that the destruction of the city had not yet taken place when the prophet was writing. | | | Nahum must have written his book sometime between 663 B.C. and 612 B.C. We know this since he refers to the Assyrians conquering of Thebes in Egypt, which took place in 663 B.C.

| | Spronk,Klaas (1997) Nahum Commentary |
| | The relation with cultic literature induced Humbert, who interprets the book of Nahum as a unity, to formulate the theory that it was written as a liturgy celebrating the downfall of Nineveh in a ceremony in the temple in the autumn of 612 BCE. | | | The book of Nahum is the seventh of the Twelve (`Minor') Prophets. | | | It has also been long recognized that the book of Nahum shows affinities with the language of the Psalms, especially in the first chapter (see the remarks on 1:2-9 and also 3:19). |

| | NAHUM, NRSV HEBREW BIBLE |
| | The core of the book is a superb, vivid poem (2.3-9; 3.1-3) extolling Nineveh's destruction. | | | The book and its sentiments toward Nineveh are often contrasted with those in the book of Jonah (contrast Nah 3.11 with Jon 4.11; Nah 1.2-3 with Jon 4.1-2). | | | Nahum's placement among the Minor Prophets thus seems to be chronological, directly following Micah, who was active in the late eighth century BCE. |

| | A century prior to Nahum's time Assyria had been the "rod" of God's anger (Is 10:5) against the northern kingdom, Israel, whose 10 tribes it took captive. | | | About a century and a half before Nahum, Jonah went to the city with a call to repentance, and for a time king and people alike humbled themselves before God (Jon 3:510). | | | This message assured the faithful in Judah that God was still watching over His people and that He would visit justice upon their oppressors. |

| | Nahum is primarily a book about God's justice, not about human vengeance, hatred, and military conquest. | | | Whereas Nahum focuses on the 'dark side' of God, Jonah portrays God's mercy and compassion toward the same wicked city. | | | The psalm is not a typical hymn of praise because it lacks the imperatives which are usual in the call to thanksgiving in Israel. |

| | Opinions concerning the religious significance of the Book of Nahum may differ, but from the standpoint of language and style all students assign to Nahum an exalted place among the prophet-poets of the ancient Hebrews for all are impressed with the intense force and picturesqueness of his language and style. | | | Until recently no doubts were expressed concerning the integrity of the book, but within recent years scholars have, with growing unanimity, denied the originality of 1:2—2:2 (Hebrew 2:3), with the exception of 2:1, which is considered the beginning of Nahum's utterances. | | | In view of these facts it may safely be asserted that no convincing argument has been presented against the genuineness of 1:2-2:2. |

| | The name of this prophet --- Nahum --- means "comfort, consolation." It is a shortened form of Nehemiah which means "the comfort of Yahweh." This prophet is only mentioned once in the entire Bible (Nahum 1:1). | | | The Chaldee Scriptures call him "Nahum of Beth-koshi." Most likely, though, this name refers to the place of his birth. | | | Ultimately, one must admit that the actual location of Elkosh is unknown, although it seems very likely, based upon internal evidence from the book of Nahum itself, that this prophet was a resident of Judah. |

| | Review of Julia Myers O'Brien, Nahum |
| | Since many prophetic books contain superscriptions, one expects comparable content, namely divinely inspired/authoritative words of salvation and/or judgment addressed by a real person to concrete historical situations but with a future orientation as well. | | | But that is precisely the traditional historical-critical approach that she rejects. | | | Nah 3:18 confirmed and specified this connection, but it did not come as a surprise. |
