Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ

The prophecy of Nahum ends with the Lord twice proclaiming some of the most terrifying words that you would never want to hear in your life. “I am against you.” The Lord says this against Nineveh in Nahum 2:13 and Nahum 3:5. The third chapter of Nahum is going to show us what this means for the Lord to be against you. Further, Nahum is going to tell us why the Lord is against them.

God sends a storm to spiritually awaken his wayward prophet. However, Jonah ignores the storm, ignores the message of the storm, and ignores the solution to the storm. The sailors challenge Jonah for running from the presence of the Lord. Jonah’s solution is not to repent, confess his sin, pray, or lift any finger toward God. Rather, Jonah instructs the sailors to throw him into the sea. Jonah would rather die by drowning in the sea than return to the Lord. So the sailors throw Jonah into the sea.
