Feb. 27, 2010 – Nahum 2:11 – 3

At Mass the other day we had a reading from Jonah about Nineveh and how they repented.  Today we read about what happens when they don’t repent.  The introduction says this was the prophecy of its destruction in 612 BC.  I couldn’t find a time when Jonah was to have taken place. 

The part I did find interesting was in 3:5 when it says “I am come against you”.  I had to read that a couple of times because it didn’t sound correct.  Then I realized it was God saying His name.  It made more sense then.
