Nahum

Nahum introduction

Nahum was a minor prophet whose prophecy is recorded in the Tanakh, the Old Testament. His book comes in chronological order between Micah and Habakkuk in the Bible. Nahum's name means "comforter" or “Consolation” or “Consoler”, and he was from the town of Elkoshite, "God the ensnarer".^[1]

There is a question as to the time and purpose of this writing. There are those who suggest that his writings are a prophecy written in about 615 BC or they may be an historical account written as a liturgy just after its downfall in 612 BC to remind people lest they forget. The form we now have may be both the result of the Prophecy and subsequent recorded final writing of an earlier prophecy.

He supposedly preached during the reign of King Manesseh, an evil kings in Judah’s long history. Not only did the king need to learn the lessons of being a good king and the people needed to repent of their idolatry in a nation that had completely turned its back on The Way of God. So, this would mean Nahum was written near the end of the Assyrian Empire, and its capital city, Nineveh.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag and conquering the northern kingdom of Israel and exercising their power over Judah in the south (2 Kings 17:1–6; 2 Kings 18:13 through 2 Kings 19:37).

A great deal of confusion has followed the interpretations of Nahum by men like Calvin. God has created a cause and effect universe and tyrants would have no power to wreak their havoc if the people had not already rejected the way of God and His righteousness as they had done in 1 Samuel 8. Charles L. Taylor, Jr. writes "it is one of the world’s classic rebukes of militarism…. All tyrants are doomed. They make enemies of those whom they attack and oppress; they become corrupt, dissolute, drunken, effeminate; they are lulled into false security… ". ^[2]

This first show introduces this Conversation with God through Nahum to understand the burden^[3] of Nineveh^[4] from that poet and his vision to know the Truth.
Philippians 3:20 "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:"
Facts matter if you are not a mental bigot. The singularity of creation and the magical process of life and how does it relate to the body of Christ and the burden of Nahum. What and who is YHVH. The law of God is built into creation and becomes the moving force of cause and effect in the universe and in our own life. How do they communicate?
Spiritual leverage of light among those who sit in darkness. Is the Holy Spirit living in your living temple, your body of cells? Forgiveness heals spiritual trauma and heals life.

Hidden meanings in the poetry of Nahum and the world at that time. And how the comforter will guide you if you follow His mandates. Lies become the law of the fearful mind. Eyes to see and ears to hear but those of little faith need evidence from Numerous scientists. Understanding the cause and effect built into the universe which you are snared in can make you a prophet from Elkoshite. Lies of the Assyrians are contagious in our times and seeing the truth begins with humility. Idolatry of nations and whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, and the mistress of witchcrafts is essential to understanding the messages of Nahum to our own time. Covetous practices mandates that you become merchandise and curse children in God's cause and effect universe.

Summaries of chapters

Summary of Nahum Chapter 1

At the core of the power of tyrants like Cain, Nimrod, Babylon, Assyria, Pharaoh, Caesar, and FDR is rooted in the power of contract. Nineveh^[4] Those contracts we see were of the spirit of the Asuras and Assyria. They like the merchants of men are established by a "cognizable" participation in covetous practices of a society at the expense of neighbor and a freedom of choice while they curse children through debt being slothful in the ways of faith, charity, and hope which is love.

Built into the Natural Law exists what is called Divine Will that puts into motion a cause and effect from which there is no escape and metaphorically called the wrath of God.

You, your choices, are the cause but the effect, which is a whirlwind, will come as a flood. There is no escape. It will eventually break the yoke but also the system, the world orders, including the simulated monetary system itself. If you will not repent you may go into the grave with those systems as they fail. Darkness will pursue everyone who seeks to live without faith and love.

But there is hope that bringeth good tidings, and peace if you Repent if you keep thy solemn feasts which is a daily ministration of Pure Religion through charity and the perfect law of liberty.

Summary of Nahum Chapter 2

Something has come that divides and scatters the people^[5] which was seen in the story of Nimrod and Babylon.^[4] We are warned to watch the way and strengthen our loins.^[6] This is done by living by the ways of love, charity, and hope., not force, fear, and fealty under Assyrian contracts which ruins^[7] and empties^[8] the fruit of vine.^[9]

They cast their wealth away^[10] and the lion's prey on society.^[11] And God will not hear them because they will not hear the cries of one another so that the "the sword shall devour thy young lions".^[12]

Without Repentance and a return to a daily ministration of Pure Religion through charity and the perfect law of liberty the people will be devoured and ruined.

Summary of Nahum Chapter 3

The whoredom with the strange woman was a form of whoredom that brings whips and chariots. The witchcraft was associated with what was called sorcery which was associated with the metaphor of something the deceptive and seductive that was in turn associated with of idolatry or in the New Testament Witchcraft.

God will expose the face behind the curtain/skirt "and I will shew the nations thy nakedness which is the lack of authority and the shame of their kingdoms. What was once great will be "laid waste" and will not find the "comforters".

Though she was strong "she went into captivity" and the swarms of office eat her up. "Thy shepherds slumber" because you whored after the king of Assyria. Thy people are scattered upon the mountains because they have forgotten the bands of liberty and desired the bands of bondage that come with the wages of unrighteousness.
