Lesson 7: Nahum and Habakuk

Nahum and Habakuk help us understand that even if judgment on God's enemies seems delayed, in the plans and purposes of God, it is always at the right time. Nahum prophecies about the coming destruction of the nation of Assyria. Nahum reveals that God's authority is over all nations. Sin provokes his justice, and he brings judgment for his glory, and the good of his people. Habakuk demonstrates the response of the righteous as they live in the midst of sinful people and await God's judgment. The righteous live by faith.
