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 der das Meer schilt und trocken macht und alle Wasser vertrocknet. Basan und Karmel verschmachten; und was auf dem Berge Libanon blüht, verschmachtet.
5 Die Berge zittern vor ihm, und die Hügel zergehen; das Erdreich bebt vor ihm, der Weltkreis und alle, die darauf wohnen.
6 Wer kann vor seinem Zorn stehen, und wer kann seinen Grimm bleiben? Sein Zorn brennt wie Feuer, und die Felsen zerspringen vor ihm.
7 Der HERR ist gütig und eine Feste zur Zeit der Not und kennt die, die auf ihn trauen.
8 Er läßt die Flut überher laufen und macht derselben Stätte ein Ende, und seine Feinde verfolgt er mit Finsternis.
