Nahum: When God Judges Evil | Video DevotionalSample

Prepare Your Heart

Welcome to Nahum: When God Judges Evil. Before you journey through the book of Nahum, watch the short overview video below. Nahum’s prophecy warns that Nineveh, the brutal capital of Assyria, will face God’s unstoppable justice. The book of Nahum reveals that God will bring justice against evil and comfort to his oppressed people. When enemy nations rise up against God's people, God rises up against those nations. Evil will be judged by evil until Jesus comes to end all oppression forever.

Reflect

Next, we invite you to read a central part of the book of Nahum. Nahum 1:7-8 shows us that God's justice and mercy go hand in hand—while he brings destruction to the oppressors, he also provides refuge for those who trust in him. This passage reminds us that no earthly power can stand against God's judgment, yet for those who take refuge in him, there is good news: peace is coming, and the chains of oppression will be broken forever.

What's Next?
