Had to read up a bit on Nahum as its not real intuitive to me. My general findings... its a book written about the fall of Ninevah in a poetic style. History class would have been more interesting if it had been written like this. I'll give it that.

Appearances of wealth and prosperity are rarely telling the whole story. It's a gift these prophets have to see the world the way God wants us too. I spent the past few days backpacking with some of my boys. Stripped of modern civilization it doesn't take long to see how many distractions we have from important things.
