Nahum 3:19
There is no easing your hurt;
your wound is grievous.
All who hear the news about you
clap their hands over you.
For upon whom has not come
your unceasing evil?
Tag: Without Christ God’s Wrath is NOT Appeased.
The book of Nahum is a prophesy against Nineveh. Nineveh was a wicked city that had brought cruel treatment to the world around it. The people of Nineveh were known for the harsh and cruel treatment of those they attacked and brutally destroyed. When Jonah went to Nineveh they repented. However, 100 years later they returned to their wicked ways and God would, finally, bring His wrath upon them. What would His wrath look like? The above verse tells us. When God’s wrath comes upon man, there is “no easing your hurt.” The wounds of God’s wrath are “grievous.” Those who hear about God’s wrath on wicked Nineveh will applause and no one will grieve its passing. There will not longer be ANY mercy. Why? Because the evil Nineveh did to others was “unceasing.” God’s wrath is unceasing. There will come a point in time when God’s mercy ends an His wrath begins. God has shown remarkable patience with Nineveh. However, there is an end of God’s waiting ... Nineveh was, in the end, cut down and everyone around her “clapped their hands” (applauded) God’s wrath.
