Nahum Part IX: The Death of Assyria (3:14-19)

At the height of Assyrian power, when they had conquered Thebes, forced Tyre to surrender, subdued Babylon, and plundered Susa, Nahum stood up and prophesied their complete destruction. Today we’ll be looking at the final piece of Nahum’s prophecy, the third taunt song of chapter three. In this video we will discuss the following topics: The spiritual symbolism of water. The futility of defying Yahweh. The connection between Nineveh and God’s promise to Abraham. Shepherds vs the Good Shepherd. The fatal wound of the Assyrian and it’s connection to the beast in Revelation 13. How the Assyrian, the king of Tyre, and the king of Babylon serves as models of Satan and the antichrist. We will also have a lengthy discussion about demon locusts and their king, Gog. This will take us into Ezekiel 38-39, Joel 1-2, Amos 7, and Revelation 9. Within this discussion we will explore Nahum’s mention of the “sun rise” and how later biblical authors expanded this concept into a full blown Messianic title. And when Jesus arrived on the scene, his interactions with the demonic was in fulfillment of these prophesies. Please like, share, and subscribe to help the channel grow! God Bless!
