In this study Mr. Smith continues in the minor prophets. He points out that Nahum can be viewed as a continuation of the prophecy of Jonah. Nineveh repented when Jonah came to them. God later used them to punish Israel, but they carried the punishment far beyond what God wanted. So about 100 years after Jonah, God used Nahum to announce the destruction of the city of Nineveh. Mr. Smith points out several things in Nahum's prophecy that explain how such a powerful city was destroyed.
