Read Nahum 1:6 Using Other Translations
What does Nahum 1:6 mean?
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.
