Nahum 3:3-4

Beware of the seductiveness of wealth and security. The parameters of this world drawn by evil’s close proximity will entice you to care about yourself, (your children, your family, your Church, your nation) only....God never intentioned it to be that way. Jesus was given as a light to all people so that all could be saved. He came with shouts of “Peace, peace to the people on earth”. 
 A Blessed Christmas to everyone near and far.
Horses and chariots were instruments of war. Verse 3 describes the horrors of the nation’s war machine, which resulted in countless corpses.
Harlotries refers to paganism. Any worship of gods other than the God of Scripture is an act of spiritual prostitution. Nineveh was so adept at pagan practices that the city earned the descriptive title, the mistress of sorceries.
Nahum 3:3-4
3 Horsemen charge with bright sword and glittering spear. 
There is a multitude of slain, 
A great number of bodies, 
Countless corpses— 
They stumble over the corpses— 
4 Because of the multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot, 
The mistress of sorceries, 
Who sells nations through her harlotries, 
And families through her sorceries.
