Nahum the Nationalist – Intro

Nahum the nationalist; get’s a bad wrap with such a moniker; in a time when we are at the tipping point between globalism and nationalism, Trump politics or the Rothschild’s reign, Brexit’s stay or leave, needing wall or no wall, Yellow jackets or straight jackets…there’s no more important time to examine the words of Nahum. 1:1 The burden of Ninveh. The scroll of the vision of Nachum the Elkoshite. El is jealous, and vuvh revenges; vuvh revenges, and is furious; vuvh will take vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserves wrath for His enemies. The idea of a global society dates all the way back to the book of Genesis and the tower of Babel. You’ll never able to solve all the world’s problems by becoming as one if you don’t follow the One True Elohim. נחם nâcham’ Nun-Chet-MemSofeet; one who sighs heavily; sorrowful, carrying a sense of pity scaled with vengeance; ultimately comfort in knowing יהוה. יהוה is a nationalist: Acts 17:26 “And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek יהוה , in hope that they might grope for Him and find Him,” יהוהs nationalism triumphs (Rev 21:24). “And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.” Globalisms goal is to enable the world to live happily ever-after in man’s own created utopia completely void of יהוה and ruled by a few, and eventually by one! paving the way for the man of sin (lawlessness and rebellion) or the Antichrist to be revealed (see Rev 13). Capernaum, G2584  – the village of Nahum. A prophecy of judgement against foreign nations, all while trumpeting salvation to the people of Yah. Critics get it wrong when they view Nahum as a book about human beings….when in reality, as we’ll discover it’s a book about the nature of יהוה. Nahum, like his predecessor Isaiah was a gifted poet who portrays the total destruction of Nineveh by an anonymous enemy. He voices a universal or global relief and joy of those who’ve suffered under the oppressive system of a merciless tyrant… …and here’s the prophetic similitude: The Saints today are aware that our faith our lifestyles our families, our very national and religious fabric is being systematically unravelled by an anonymous enemy, a oppressive and merciless tyrannical system…the voice of Nahum is desperately needed…in our desperate times! We’re dealing with a shadow enemy… 1:1 The burden of Ninveh. The scroll of the vision of Nachum the Elkoshite. El is jealous, and vuvh revenges; vuvh revenges, and is furious; vuvh will take vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserves wrath for His enemies. 3 vuvh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not acquit the wicked: vuvh has His derech in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet. 4 He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers: Bashan withers, and Carmel too, and the flower of Levanon withers. 5 The mountains quake at Him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at His presence, yes, the olam, and all that dwell therein. 6 Who can stand before His indignation? And who can survive the fierceness of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by Him. 7 vuvh is tov, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those that trust in Him. Date and occasion: Nahum’s prophecy can be dated between the capture of Thebes by the Assyrian’s and the fall of Nineveh in 612BCE – in the 7th Century BCE.

Isa 13:1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. Mal 1:1 The burden of the word of
