We study Nahum's prophecy, the third chapter. Here are some questions to consider:- The Lord considers Nineveh a bloody city. Is there any city on Earth today that you consider to be a bloody city? Is it like Nineveh?
- How can a nation like Assyria enslave another nation by prostitution? What kind of prostitution would that be?
- Same question, regarding witchcraft: What kind of witchcraft can enslave a nation and end with bloody subjugation?
- The prophetic word compares the ruin of Nineveh to what action in verses 5 and 6?
- Does the Lord expect Nineveh to get a dose of its own medicine, regarding its earlier conquest of No-ammon a.k.a. Thebes on the the Nile?
- How does the last verse, 3:19, relate to the book of Tobit?
