Nineveh will experience destruction, annihilation, destroyed! Nahum 3:11-13

Good morning my fellow Christians! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
     Do you carry the title "Christian" lightly -- oh, yes, I am a Christian.  Or do you carry it in a way pleasing to God - Yes, I AM a CHRISTIAN, I would like to invite you to church!  Hmmmm!
   Nahum 3: 11 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
 Nineveh will share in the same destruction as she delivered to No-amon (Thebes); and since Nineveh showed the same character as that of Egypt, her destruction will be equally as bad.
   Thou also shalt be drunken - could refer to the drunken orgy the nobles were having, but some authorities refer to it as the drunkenness that results from having drunk the cup of God's wrath.
   Thou shalt be hid -- from God's wrath Nineveh will go into extinction.  This is true until the 19th century archeological discoveries brought to surface some of the marvel of her past.
   Thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy -- this is in exact opposite of Thebes that Nineveh ravaged; Nineveh will find no strength, no help, no allies.
     12 All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
    This verse simply describes the ease in which the city will fall.  Just like a fig tree that, when shaken, easily gives up their rip figs.  The strongholds, or defenses of Nineveh fall into the hands of the Medo-Babylonian army.
    13 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
    The terror brought by the hordes of the invading army caused the hearts of the men to be faint like women.  This is not derogatory toward women, but you have to remember the era of the prophet.  The women were helpless victims of warfare and this is how helpless the defenders were before the onslaught of the invaders. The result?
    The gates of they land shall be set wide open -- so the enemy had easy access through the breach in the wall (a 5 mile section) and entered easily.  The invaders destroyed by fire what the overflowing waters of the Tigris did not destroy.  Wow!  A coincidence?  I don't think so......God was angry, mad.  And if God ain't happy, ain't nobody going to be happy.  Love you all.
  In Christ's Love and Grace
