The book of Nahum announces the destruction of Assyria and reveals that God will punish all arrogant, violent, and evil nations while protecting his humble and faithful people.

He is committed to justice and will not allow any evil nation to endure forever. Though God will destroy evil, he makes clear his deep care for the innocent. He will provide a refuge on the day of distress for anyone who humbles himself before God, believes in his justice, and trusts in his plan to bring down oppressors in every time and place.
