Conclusion:

So let me ask you this morning, dear Conqueror’s Class member…how does all this apply to you and me today?

And what can you and I learn from this little book of only three chapters called The Book of Nahum?

Well, first, we can see that Sin really is a serious matter to God, and it should be a serious matter to each of us today as well!

Secondly, we should see that God does indeed judge sin and NO ONE GETS AWAY WITH SIN!

Thirdly, we need to remember that our human strength and ingenuity is no match for God’s Holy and Righteous Judgment!

And lastly, we must understand and never forget that God’s Judgment for sin is SURE!
