Nahum

Nahum lays out the final word for the city of Nineveh.  Not too long ago, Jonah had declared God's intention to destroy the city because of their sins.  The city repented and God relented from the evil He had intended for them.  However, the city soon found themselves back in the ways which placed them under God's wrath to begin with.  God would not tolerate sin, no matter how much the people tried to show some form of "repentence".  The city and nation of Assyria would find themselves on the receiving end of God's justice and wrath.  Their destruction was certain and would take place without mercy or restraint.  History shows that, just as God stated, the Babylonians overran the Assyrians and the city of Nineveh fell.
