Fri.’s Devo - Nahum

Read: Nahum 1:1-3:19; Revelation 8:1-13; Psalm 136:1-26; Proverbs 30:7-9 Nahum's name means "comforatble." This describes the people of Nineveh and their sin. They were comfortable in their sin and saw no reason to repent. Nahum was sent to Nineveh to proclaim its destruction for its sin. This time, they would not repent like they did in Jonah’s day. This time God was bringing his judgment down on them. They had oppressed other nations as well as Israel. They were violent and bloodthirsty. They were a city of murderers and liars. God was going to destroy Israel and Judah also but He would rebuild them. Nineveh would be destroyed. In Revelation the seventh seal was broken. Silence fell in heaven for about a half of an hour. The seven angels who stood before God were given seven trumpets. Another angel came to the golden altar of incense in heaven to offer the prayers of God’s people to God. The angel then filled the incense burner with fire and threw it down on the earth. It hi as thunder and lightning and a terrible earthquake shook the earth. The seven angels with the trumpet blew their trumpets one at a time. The first one blew and hail and fire missed with blood ws thrown down on the earth and one third of the trees burned and all the green grass. The second one brought fire on the sea and one third of all things in the sea died and one third of the ships. The third trupet brought down a great star which fell on the fresh water making it bitter The fourth angel blew and on-third of the sun . moon. and stars became dark A warning was given by an eagle that terror beyond terror would come through the last three angels.
