Nahum Chapter Three: The Cause of Nineveh’s Comeuppance

June 26, 2019 by Kreig Durham

Curt & Kreig conclude their study of Nahum with chapter three. They see how God gave ample reasons for the “why” of the destruction of Nineveh. Slave trade, senseless violence against the children of their enemies, and more played large parts in the ultimate downfall of Assyrian capital. Nahum succinctly answers the question of why Nineveh would “henceforth receive their comeuppance.”

Chapter three also details the fallout from Nineveh’s destruction. Their mighty warriors would flee, the line of kings would be cut off, and their people would be scattered among the nations. To rub salt in the wound, the Bible prophesied that none of Assyria’s neighbors would pity their downfall. No one would show any sympathy for the destruction of this abusive empire.

And of course, it wouldn’t be The Bible Burrito without a handful of references to nerd culture. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Chronicles of Narnia, and Avengers: Infinity War’s Thanos all come up during this chapter breakdown. As a bonus, if you’re a fig lover, there’s even some fun fig trivia for you in there!

UPDATE: We wanted to clarify that there is actually a city near the site where Nineveh stood: Mosul, Iraq. However, the ruins of the city went undiscovered for centuries, and the city was never actually rebuilt, so our statement about the permanence of the destruction does still mostly stand true.

1 John 3:11-24: Love is (Not) a Dagger
byCurt & Kreig

Chapter 3 of 1 John concludes with a case study of love. What is love? What does it look like? We dive into the second major theme of this letter: God is love. And because God is love, He expects His children to be examples of true love. From extreme examples of hatred like Cain to more reassurances about our relationship with God, we explore this fascinating passage.
