The prophet who announced Nineveh's final judgment — no second chances this time
A prophet who delivered an extended poem about the coming destruction of Nineveh, Assyria's capital — over a century after Jonah had preached there and they'd repented. They'd since returned to violence and cruelty. Nahum is one of the most vivid descriptions of divine judgment in the Bible, and also a reminder that extended mercy has limits. Nineveh fell to Babylon in 612 BC, just as he predicted.
