Shame, fear and destruction will come to Nineveh: the same shame, fear and destruction that she has meted out to her neighbor nations. Why should the God of Israel waste time sending this message from his prophet? He cares about Nineveh, and showed that care by sending Jonah. But this time, there appears to have been no repentance. Nineveh got hers. How many times has the LORD sent his word to us, pleading for us to repent? We cannot escape Jesus Christ. He will either be our Savior or our judge.
LORD, renew our minds, so that we respond to your word. May we be like Jonah’s Nineveh, not like Nahum’s Nineveh.
