Everything's beautiful!
As Nahum closes his vision from the Lord we get a picture of what would become of Nineveh. Nineveh historically was one of the most barbaric and degrading places against human beings. Even in the middle of this the Lord extended grace and mercy thru Jonah. But Nineveh continued in their ways: Pride, rebellion, and wickedness.
Nahum ends with, "There is no relief for your breakdown, Your wound is incurable. All who hear about you Will clap their hands over you, For on whom has not your evil passed continually?" Nahum 3:19
Solomon writes in Ecclesiastes 3, "There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven-" Ecc 3:1
The good that's done will be rewarded as the evil that's done will be judged. Even though it's hard to fathom there is an appointed time for everything. Eventually the veil will be lifted and we will see everything is beautiful in its time. In the Lord's faithfulness and righteousness we will see fully as He sees. May this draw us to worship the Lord for who He is.
