Nahum 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

Nahum 1:6

Who can stand before his indignation?
&c.] No creature whatever; no man nor body of men; not Nineveh, and the inhabitants of it; nor the whole Assyrian empire: and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger?
not the great men of the earth; not kings or generals of armies; not kingdoms and nations, ever so numerous and powerful; but all must be consumed by him, who is a consuming fire; see ( Jeremiah 10:10 ) ( Revelation 6:15-17 ) ; his fury is poured out like fire;
or like metal that is melted by fire, and poured out by the force of it; or like fire of lightning poured out of the heavens, which is quick, powerful, and penetrating, and there is no resisting it: and the rocks are thrown down by him;
by the Lord, by his wrath and fury; kingdoms that seemed as strong and immovable as rocks and mountains are thrown down; as such have been by the force of fire bursting from the midst of them, as Etna, Vesuvius, and others.

Nahum 1:6 In-Context

4 Egli sgrida il mare, e lo fa seccare; ed asciuga tutti i fiumi; Basan, e Carmel ne languiscono; ne languisce parimente il fior del Libano.
5 Egli fa tremare i monti, e struggere i colli; e la terra, e il mondo, e tutti i suoi abitanti son divampati dalla sua presenza.
6 Chi durerà davanti alla sua indegnazione? e chi starà fermo nell’ardor della sua ira? il suo cruccio si spande come fuoco, ed egli fa scoscendere le rocce.
7 Il Signore è buono; egli è per fortezza in tempo di distretta; ed egli conosce quelli che sperano in lui.
8 Ma egli farà una final distruzione del luogo di quella, con inondazione che non potrà esser sostenuta; e tenebre perseguiranno i suoi nemici.
