The book of Nahum announces the destruction of Assyria and reveals that God will punish all arrogant, violent and evil nations while He protects His humble and faithful people.
He is committed to justice and will not allow any arrogant, violent or evil nation to endure forever. However, while He defeats evil, He is also good and cares for the innocent. He will provide a refuge on the day of distress for anyone who humbles himself before God, believes in God's justice and trusts that in His time He will bring down oppressors in every time and place.
