Nahum 2:8-10

Nineveh was plundered -- Nahum 2:8-10: Nineveh is pictured as a large pool of water. This was true because of the many people that were there. The cry for the people was "Stand, Stand!" Instead the people fled in fear and desperation. All hope was gone because God was against them. The pool of people was emptying. Many today are just as they were. They feel that they can ignore God and still be safe and protected from any punishment. The sad truth is that many will learn too late that they should have obeyed God. They only way to prepare for the future is to walk with God.

There was much wealth in the city of Nineveh. The invaders would plunder and take a great store of goods. The only advantage that the people of Nineveh received from the invaders stopping to plunder the city was that more of them had time to escape with their lives. "Nineveh is doomed! Destroyed! Her people tremble with fear; their faces turn pale." Nineveh was empty of inhabitants and of all its treasures. Nineveh had destroyed other cities and now they reap what they have sown.
