Justice

One of our questions last week was about God's vindication:

2. We know that Nahum prophesies about Nineveh -- but not in chapter 1. How does the Lord taking vengeance in general -- e.g., Nahum 1:2 -- bear on the situation in Nineveh?

Len had this to say in answer: The Lord works His justice from time to time and will do so again.

This is a good way to view this part of Nahum's message. It jibes with the general jobs of the true prophet, to speak a prophetic word from the Lord and sometimes to predict things to come.
