The Bible Has a Sequel — and It Changes How You See God | Nahum | The Voice

The book of Jonah ends with one of history's greatest comebacks — an entire city repenting and God relenting. But what happened next? In this week's message from THE VOICE, our series through the Minor Prophets, we open Nahum: the Bible's sequel to Jonah, written a century later to the very same city. Discover why mercy and judgment are complementary rather than contradictory, why faith can never be inherited, and why this hard-edged prophecy contains one of the most comforting promises in Scripture: "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him" (Nahum 1:7).

Show Notes

• The Bible's "sequel": how Nahum continues the story of Jonah, 100 years later
• The Bible as a book of comebacks — Moses, Rahab, Peter, Paul
• Three truths about God from Nahum 1:2–3: He cares for His people, He judges what opposes Him, and He is slow to anger
• Nineveh at the height of its power — and the prophecy no one believed
• History's confirmation: the flood, the fire, and a city lost until the 1840s
• Why God judged Nineveh: violence, idolatry, and arrogance
• Two lessons for today: sin will be dealt with, and God's mercy must be embraced by each generation
• The hope inside a hard book: God as refuge (Nahum 1:7)
