We begin the prophecy of Nahum

The book of Tobit mentions the prophecy of Nahum, so we will now study through this short prophetic book. Here are some questions to start with:
  1. What is a the job of a true prophet of the Lord?
  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?
  3. Similarly, how is the Lord being a stronghold important to the situation in Nineveh?
  4. Is this first chapter a prediction type of prophecy?
Let's tackle these and other questions on Thursday morning.
