Commentary

Commentary on Nahum 1:8

Theological / Devotional

Overrunning flood. This probably represents metaphorically the complete destruction to come to Nineveh through hostile invasion (see Isa. 8:7; cf. Dan. 11:26, 40). To all nations, modern as well as ancient, comes this same warning of punishment that will descend sooner or later upon those who exalt themselves against God (see PK 366). Nineveh’s period of probation was fast running out, and Nahum predicted a swiftly approaching destruction.

Place. Nineveh, evidently, in view of the context (see v. 1).
