III. APPLICATIONS
1. What does the book of Nahum teach
about God?
2. What place does righteous wrath have
in the life of a Christian? What are your
reactions to these comments:
Surely there is a place for a book like
Nahum even in the revelation of Grace.
Instead of taking the Book of Nahum
out of the Bible, we had better leave it
there. We need it. It reminds us that
love degenerates into a vague di usion
of kindly feeling unless it is balanced
by the capacity of a righteous
indignation. A man who is deeply and
truly religious is always a man of
wrath. Because he loves God and his
fellow men, he hates and despises
inhumanity, cruelty and wickedness.
Every good man sometimes prophesies
like Nahum.17
3. How may the Gospel be likened to news
about the downfall of one’s enemy? (Cf. Nah
1:15 and Rom 10:15.)
