Good Morning. Although the city of Nineveh repented when God sent his message through Jonah, they eventually went back into apostasy. Through the prophet Nahum God provide information regarding the destruction of this city by the Babylonian. Here God is reminding us, through his actions against Nineveh that those of us who continue to disobey His instructions will eventually receive the consequences of our actions. In verse 7 of chapter 2 the word of the Lord said, “And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts..” Matthew Henry in his commentary on this text said, “The queen shall fall into the hands of the enemy (v. 7): Huzzab shall be led away captive; she that was established (so some read it), thought herself safe because she was concealed and shut up in secret, shall be discovered (so the margin reads it) and shall be led away captive, in greater disgrace than that of common prisoners; she shall be brought up in a mock state, and her maids of honour shall lead her, because she is weak and faint, not able to bear such frights and hardships, which are doubly hard and frightful to those that have not been used to them; they shall attend her, not to speak cheerfully to her and to encourage her, but murmuring and moaning themselves, as with the voice of doves, the doves of the valleys (Eze. 7:16), noted for their mourning, Isa. 38:14; 59:11. They shall be tabering upon their breasts, beating their own breasts in grief and vexation, as if they were drumming upon them, for so the word signifies. 2. The inhabitants, though numerous, shall none of them be able to make head against the invaders, or stand their ground.’ I pray that we will not find ourselves in the same position as the Queen of Nineveh but that we will allow the Lord to take control of our lives so that He can mold us and fashion us in accordance with His will. Take My Life and Let It Be - https://youtube/watch?v=HU9Pi4g_3No have a blessed and Holy Spirit-filled day.
