NAHUM BIBLE STUDY CHAPTER THREE
THE CITY OF BLOOD. 
Nineveh is called “the city of blood” because of how it had cruelly murdered large numbers of conquered peoples. ​
PROSTITUTION...WITCHCRAFT. 
Sin never exists in isolation. That is to say, one offense against God will most likely lead to another. That is because sin spreads and multiplies like an infectious disease. Not only were the Assyrians brutally cruel, but they were also extremely immoral. 
  1. From the outside, Nineveh appeared attractive. But on the inside she was full of cult prostitution, ungodly behavior and shameful activity of all kinds. The city was also heavily involved in witchcraft, black magic (rituals done for evil purposes or to call on evil spirits) and spiritism (the belief that the living can communicate with the dead). These wicked practices allowed demons and evil spirits to control the people’s lives. 
  2. The relationship between these two elements is clear: exposing yourself to sin and its traps is the same as opening up your life to the influence and even the control by demonic spirits. 
I AM AGAINST YOU.   
Because of Nineveh’s terrible offenses against God, the Lord Himself would personally expose the corruption and deep darkness in the hearts of its residents. God declared that He would destroy them. No power on earth can protect a nation that has made God its enemy and whom God has determined to oppose. When sin reaches a certain level in any society, God will expose the people to shame by bringing down all their means of security and leaving them completely open to the consequences of their rebellion. Such a society will crumble in defeat. ​
ARE YOU BETTER THAN THEBES. 
Because the Ninevites believed no one could defeat them, they failed to recall how God had brought down other great cities, such as the city of Thebes in Egypt, conquered by the Assyrians in 66 B.C.
NOTHING CAN HEAL YOU WOUND 
Nineveh would be completely destroyed and never again rebuilt. After the city fell in 612 B.C., it became a deserted and desolate area for animals and birds (Zephaniah 2:13-15)
​Reflection Questions on Nahum
  1. How does God act and why is this comforting for believers (Nahum 1)?
  2. Explain how a jealous God can be seen as a good God. 
  3. How does Nahum’s writing add a sense of suspense in Chapter 1 regarding the object of God’s wrath? (Hint: 1:8)
  4. What are the reasons for God’s wrath on Nineveh in Chapter 3?
  5. Why is God so angry with the Minor Prophets? Almost every book speaks to God’s wrath on a people or group of peoples. How would you explain this to a non-believing friend?
  6. Thus far, is your life more like (a person that studies the word) or (a person whose study of Scripture compels him to act) Explain. 
  7. Identify areas in your life that have changed because of exposure to God’s word, and list a few of your spiritual goals.​
A Nahum Prayer
By: LIFE WITH GOD’S GRACE AND TRUTH 
LORD God, King of the earth,
You have created all peoples
and reign over all the nations
that inhabit this earth.

When the nations rage
and put themselves forward as mighty,
You still have the final word,
promising to put all the prideful in their place.

Although tempted to trust in our own strength,
we turn to You, even as the psalmist says,
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God’ (Psalm 20:7).

Teach us to live with trust
in light of the prophet Nahum’s words,
“The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him” (Nahum 1:7).

All this we pray, through Jesus Christ,
to whom, with You and the Holy Spirit
be all honor and glory, now and forever.
Amen.

    ​All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
