34 for 30: Day 11 - Nahum

The Old Testament book of Nahum was written about 663-654BC by Nahum.  In its three chapters the destruction of Nineveh was described.  Over one hundred years earlier, Nineveh responded to Jonah in complete repentance.  That did not happen in Nahum's time!  This is a powerful reminder that we need to be aware of our sinfulness in respect to God's holiness.  Also, God's justice should not be overlooked.
