Christian Ministry

 

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV

Book of Nahum (Chapter 1)

What does the U.S.A. have to do with "Nineveh"?
That which happened to "
Nineveh" is a 'type' for that which has and shall (in
a sense) happen in this Christian nation and other Christian nations.

Eccl 1:9-11
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is
that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been
already of old time, which was before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any
remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after. (KJV)


We know that the people of "
Nineveh" had been given fair warning as to that
which would become of them.
In the days of Jonah, YHVH sent Jonah to teach HIS HOLY Word of Truth to
those of "
Nineveh".
And, the people of this place repented of their idol and pagan worship,
because they understood the very clear warning that Jonah brought to them
from YHVH.
These people repented of their evil and turned their hearts and minds to
YHVH.

But, this was not to continue, because the people again returned to their
idols and pagan worship.
And, because they had received the 'very clear warning' from Jonah, they
were no longer counted as innocent. Therefore, these could be destroyed,
because they sinned again, knowing full well the consequences.

As we read the Book of Nahum, let us think of this country and what it has
become of it (the U.S.A.), to be as it was in "
Nineveh".


Nahum 1:1-15
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is
furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth
wrath for his enemies.
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the
wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the
clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan
languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at
his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness
of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down
by him.
7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth
them that trust in him.
8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place
thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction
shall not rise up the second time.
10 For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken
as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a
wicked counsellor.
12 Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus
shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted
thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in
sunder.
14 And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more
of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven
image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that
publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for
the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off. (KJV)


Nahum 1:1-15

Nahum 1:
2 God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is
furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth
wrath for his enemies.



Let us read this as it was originally written:
"
EL jealous and revengeth the LORD (YHVH). Revengeth the LORD and
furious (uwba'al) furious (cheemah).
Will take vengeance the LORD on his adversaries and reserveth he for his
enemies.
"

Let us take each of these sentences separately.

"
EL jealous and revengeth the LORD (YHVH)."

The Almighty is zealous ("
jealous") toward those who are HIS, and The
LORD GOD YHVH "
revengeth".

"
revengeth"
5358 naqam (naw-kam');
a primitive root; to grudge, i.e. avenge or punish:
KJV-- avenge (-rself,), punish, revenge (self), X surely, take vengeance.

5358 naqam-
to avenge, to take vengeance, to revenge, to avenge oneself, to be avenged,
to be punished
a) (Qal)
1) to avenge, to take vengeance
2) to entertain revengeful feelings
b) (Niphal)
1) to avenge oneself
2) to suffer vengeance
c) (Piel) to avenge
d) (Hophal) to be avenged, vengeance be taken (for blood)
e) (Hithpael) to avenge oneself

"
Revengeth the LORD and furious furious."
In taking vengeance, The LORD GOD YHVH, as MASTER/HUSBAND, will use
a great wrath/anger toward all who harm HIS.

"
Will take vengeance the LORD on his adversaries and reserveth he for his
enemies.
"

The LORD does take vengeance on HIS adversaries (specifically, the
oppressor, Satan) and reserves (keeps on guard) this, HIS Wrath, for HIS
enemies.

Nahum 1:
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the
wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the
clouds are the dust of his feet.

YHVH is not easily provoked, for HE is slow to anger. Yet, HE will not acquit
all. (The words "
the wicked" were not originally written.)

Some think that these words were simply poetic: "
The LORD hath his way in
the whirlwind and in the storm
","and the clouds are the dust of his feet."

Yet, as we have seen written, in YHVH'S Word, YHVH has made use of these
elements ("i
n the whirlwind and in the storm" and "the clouds").
We were shown how these elements (and other elements) were utilized in
Ezekiel 1.

Ezek 1:4
4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud,
and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst
thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. (KJV)

At other times, YHVH'S vehicle made it's way while covered in a cloud.

FATHER can make use of all the elements of this earth, if and when it suits
HIM.

Nahum 1:
4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan
languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.


Let us read this, also, as it was originally written.
"
He rebuketh the sea and maketh it dry. And all the rivers drieth up.
Languisheth Bashan and Carmel. And the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
"

Let us look at each sentence.
"
He rebuketh the sea and maketh it dry."
The "
sea" speaks of the 'sea of people'. When YHVH, Our FATHER, rebukes
this sea of people, they become spiritually dry.

"
He rebuketh"
1605 ga` ar (gaw-ar');
a primitive root; to chide:
KJV-- corrupt, rebuke, reprove.

1605 ga` ar-
(Qal)
to rebuke, to reprove, to corrupt


Why?
Because all the different peoples of the world have refused YHVH'S Truth,
and have taken in the ways of strange gods, and therefore, HE cause them to
become spiritually dry.

YHVH will not bless those who work against HIM.

Deut 32:1-30
1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of
my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the
small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto
our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of
truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children:
they are a perverse and crooked generation.

6 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy
father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask
thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he
separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to
the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he
led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth
abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the
increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and
oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed
of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink
the pure blood of the grape.
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown
thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him,
and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations
provoked they him to anger.




It is not only the great mixed "
sea" of people, but also, "And all the rivers
drieth up.
"
This word "
rivers" refers to "prosperity".
In many cultures, their "
rivers" were thought of as being of their gods,
therefore, thought of in the religious sense, because the rivers brought
prosperity.

But, YHVH shall dry up the people and the prosperity of these people
(people are also referred to as 'waters') of these "
rivers".

"
Languisheth Bashan and Carmel."

"
Basham" means "fruitful": It was a district east of the Jordan River known
for its fertility which was given to the half-tribe of Manasseh.

"
Carmel" means "garden-land" {plentiful}: It was the name of a hill and of
a town in Palestine.

"
Languisheth"
536 'umlal (oom-lal');
from 535; sick:
KJV-- weak.
535 'amal (aw-mal');
a primitive root; to droop; by implication to be sick, to mourn:
KJV-- languish, be weak, wax feeble.

536 'umlal-
weak, feeble
535 'amal-
to be weak, to droop, to languish, to be exhausted
a) (Qal) passive participle (used of the heart)
1) to be weak
2) to droop
b) (Pulal)
1) to be feeble or to grow feeble
2) to languish

"
And the flower of Lebanon languisheth."

The bloom of "
Lebanon" has become weak and feeble, in the manner of a
flower which has withered.

Can we begin to see that there is "
no new thing under the sun", and the
same things which said in the past concerning Nineveh, can also be said
about this country, the U.S.A.?


Nahum 1:
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at
his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

The word "
mountains" often refers to great nations, countries, governments,
their people, and their religions.
And, it is all these great nations, countries, governments, their people and
their religions who will shaken, because YHVH'S omnipotent power.
And, the weaker, lower "
hills" with their nations, countries, governments,
their people, and their religions, will faint and fade away.

"
and the earth is burned at his presence"
YHVH is a "
consuming fire". The land (haa'aarets) is consumed when HE
stands before it.
{Remember, one must be in the same dimension as YHVH, in order to stand
physically before HIM.}

"
yea, the world, and all that dwell therein"
Not only shall the "
haa'aarets" be consumed, but also, "all that is not of
GOD" shall be consumed, including earthly flesh and all things which were
inherent to this earth age.

Heb 12:1-29
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that
was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down
at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against
himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto
children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when
thou art rebuked of him:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom
he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is
he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye
bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we
gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the
Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but
he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto
them which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned
out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see
the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of
bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one
morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the
blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he
sought it carefully with tears.
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that
burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that
heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much
as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a
dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and
quake:)
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in
heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made
perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of
sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who
refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn
away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet
once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that
are shaken
, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be
shaken may remain
.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have
grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire. (KJV)

Deut 4:24
24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. (KJV)



Nahum 1:
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness
of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down
by him.


"
Who can stand before his indignation?"
YHVH'S servants can, because HE is not angry with them.
Yet, those who continue to displease Our FATHER with their unrepented
sinning will not be able to stand up against that which HE has in store for them.

"
and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger?"
Again, those who do their very best for Our FATHER, YHVH, can abide in the
burning anger YHVH can and will bring forth.
While, those who continue to transgress HIS Law, will be feel the fullness of
the fierceness of HIS anger. And, no man or beast (systems) can stay
YHVH'S Hand from dealing out exactly as these people have earned.

"
his fury is poured out like fire"
This should bring to mind the "
lightning" with it's corresponding "thunders",
and then, the "
vials" which will be poured out upon men and beasts
(governmental systems).

"
and the rocks are thrown down by him"
The word "
rock" refers to a 'refuge', a place or system which will provide
shelter for those under it's protection.
Yet, there is no earthly men's governments, nor beastly governmental
system, not even Satan, himself, the spurious "
rock", which can "hide"
those who have transgressed YHVH'S Law so grievously, therefore, they
will incur the fullness of YHVH'S Wrath.

Rev 6:12-17
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a
great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the
moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her
untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every
mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the
chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free
man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face
of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (KJV)


Remember this "
day of his wrath" is a long period of time in this earthly
dimension.
It includes the 42 months that is given in which the "
seven trumpets" were
blown.

"
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the
chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free
man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said
to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that
sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
"

Remember, this is not the "
wrath of the Lamb" (for these people knew not
The Truth, so they were blaming the "
Lamb" of doing something HE had not
done), but is a part of YHVH'S Plan.

The people, some in ignorance, often vilify YHVH and YAHSHUA, even when
they do not realize they are doing so.

As the "
seventh seal" was opened, Satan and his fallen angels were cast
into the "
bottomless pit". The time in which Satan and the evil spirits of his
fallen angels are held there, they (through their most evil spirits) cause so
much to occur in the earth. It is their evil spirits, and not YHVH'S Wrath,
which is causing the people to be pained during those 42 months of the
"
seven trumpets".

But, in the time of the "
seven thunders", it is YHVH'S Wrath that is meant to
chastise and awaken as many as will to HIS Truth.
And, it is a part of YHVH'S Wrath that will cause our enemies to attack us,
which will escalate into "
nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there
shall be famines and troubles
".


Ezek 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of
Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee
forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all
sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them
handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and
all his bands: and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that
are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come
into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of
many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always
waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all
of them.

9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to
cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time
shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to
them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls,
and having neither bars nor gates,

12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate
places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of
the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of
the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions
thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou
gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take
away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not
know it?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many
people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a
mighty army:

16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover
the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land,
that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog,
before their eyes.

17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time
by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many
years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against
the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in
that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts
of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men
that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the
mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every
wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith
the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.

22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain
upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him,
an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the
eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD. (KJV)


For, YHVH is not at all happy with the majority of HIS children who call
themselves "Christians", nor those who have prospered in this land because
of the misuse and misappropriation of YHVH'S blessings HE has provided for
this land, and through them, has prospered the world.
Although, Satan and his fallen angels (still within the "
bottomless pit") are
yet influencing many men, and the "four dynasties" even more actively
being affected by the four evil spirits from the "
bottomless pit", it is YHVH'S
Wrath which shall come upon those to whom HE has given so much.


Nahum 1:
7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth
them that trust in him.


This "
day of trouble" has direct reference to the time of the "seven thunders".
This "
day" does not speak of a 24 hour period, but a unspecified amount of
time needed to complete the "
seven thunders".

YHVH, Our FATHER, does "
knoweth them that trust in him".
HE knows the hearts of all men.

{This "
day of trouble" must occur and be completed before Satan's fallen
angels are visible in the earth, because when the fallen angels are here, that
"
short time" will be a time of "peace, peace", albeit, a false "peace".


Nahum 1:
8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place
thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

"

Who are YHVH'S enemies?
They are those who will not learn from nor take heed to HIS Great Wrath
which HE brought against them.

Some will have learned their lessons FATHER has brought forth through HIS
chastisement and the Great Wrath, HE brought upon them. Some will turn
back to YHVH.

But, many, who will become YHVH'S enemies, because they refuse to learn
from HIS chastisement and the Great Wrath HE brought upon them, shall flee
to the "
darkness" under the rocks and mountains of earthly men's (the
devastated) governments, and/or into the "
darkness" of Satan's spurious
government as they arrive in the sight of earthly flesh men.
"
there may be darkness over the land", "even darkness which may be felt"
(Exodus 10)


Nahum 1:
9 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction
shall not rise up the second time.


"
What do ye imagine against the LORD?" "he will make an utter end"
"
affliction shall not rise up the second time".

This time of HIS GREAT Wrath, which is during the time of the "
seven
thunders
", shall not occur in quite the same way ever again.

There shall never again be such devastation to the earthly flesh people and
their governments.
There shall never again be such physical wars.
This time of affliction to earthly flesh men and their governments, as the
whole world fights against each other, will never occur in the same manner
again after YHVH'S Wrath is brought forth in the "
seven thunders".


Mark 13:8
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and
there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and
troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. (KJV)


{When Satan's fallen angels arrive in the sight of earthly flesh men, and "set
up" the 'one world' 'spurious' government, it shall be a time of spiritual war
between YHVH (as HE uses HIS servants to bring forth HIS HOLY WORD of
Truth by way of HIS HOLY SPIRIT) and Satan (as he uses his fallen angels, his
servants who are of the earthly flesh, and all the deceived people).}


Nahum 1:
10 For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken
as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

These who do become so spiritually dry, shall be easily devoured by Satan's
fallen angels as they come to "save" the world, disguised as 'God's host of
angels
'.

We remember the parable YAHSHUA gave unto us:

Mark 4:13-20
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye
know all parables?
14 The sower soweth the word.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when
they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that
was sown in their hearts.
16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when
they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward,
when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they
are offended.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts
of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the
word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and
some an hundred. (KJV)


Nahum 1:11-15
11 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a
wicked counsellor.
12 Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus
shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted
thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in
sunder.
14 And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more
of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven
image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that
publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for
the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.  (KJV)


Let us look for at the history of that which happened to Nineveh.

"
There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a
wicked counsellor.
"

In the history of Nineveh, this "
wicked counsellor" was Senacherib of
Assyria (705 BC - 681 BC), the son of Sargon II (The captor of Samaria).

Yet, there is no new thing under the sun... therefore, even in this last
generations there are those who give 'wicked counsel', which is to say they counsel the people to do that which is evil and that which is worthless.

"
Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many"
Why would anyone counsel their people to do worthless, inane acts?

Well, we see it every day, as those who have great power in the earth, while
appearing friendly to all, and while promoting "
peace, peace", {even in the
face of the fact that there shall be no true "
peace" until The Messiah
comes
}, encourage and lead "
many" peoples to do these things which are
against YHVH.

Satan is the ultimate "
wicked counsellor". And, even before he and his fallen
angels are in the sight of earthly flesh men, their evil spirits are hard at work
influencing the minds of many men.

"
yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through."
Senacherib of Assyria (705 BC - 681 BC), the son of Sargon II (The captor of
Samaria) was "
cut down" for YHVH had him 'removed' quickly.


"
Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more."

This speaks of YHVH'S dealing with the children of Israel who were living in
the earthly flesh at this time.
Though he had permitted the Assyrian force to chasten Israel, "
I will afflict
thee no more
