Nahum 1:7-8

Divine Protection is only found in Jesus.

These are troubling times. I pray for the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. But I also know that His return is delayed by God’s love for His creation. He doesn’t want any one to perish without the chance to accept His salvation. Pray for His will, not ours, to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

The Hebrew term, for He know those who trust in Him, denotes the sense of protection or providence He provides.

Archaeological excavations have shown that Nineveh was partially destroyed by floodwaters from the Tigris River. Faithlife Bible.

For the righteous, this is the best news of all. Because we know that the Lord is good, we can endure the tribulations of life. The judgment of the Lord will be inescapable. 

The word flood is both a poetic term for overwhelming devastation and a specific reference to the actual manner of Nineveh’s fall. It is believed that the invaders of Nineveh entered the city through its flooded waterways. NKJ Bible.

7 The Lord is good,

A stronghold in the day of trouble;

And He knows those who trust in Him.

And darkness will pursue His enemies.
