It was composed during an ancient period, likely around the 7th century BC. The central theme of the book revolves around the prophecy concerning the impending destruction of Nineveh, the once-great capital of the Assyrian empire, emphasizing God's judgment against wickedness and His protection of Israel. The Book of Nahum consists of three chapters that vividly depict the fall of Nineveh. Nahum, identified as a comforter, conveys God's wrath against the Assyrians, promising their complete destruction as a response to their violence and deceitful practices. The text begins by showcasing God's power and vengeance against His adversaries, followed by a detailed account of the siege and destruction of Nineveh, where chaos and loss of strength plague its inhabitants. Lastly, Nahum warns that, despite Nineveh’s former glory and alliances, their sinful deeds will result in overwhelming disgrace and ruin, illustrating the moral decline and inevitable demise of a nation straying from divine justice.
