I Read...

I read a part of a book that dealt with the Bible prophecies. This part of the book helps us to put trust in God’s promises. Like it took, for example, the city of Nineveh. This city was known for its cruelty and great power. But, God saw that they were wicked. These people would skin their victims alive and they would cut their body parts and sacrifice them alive. So, He sent the prophet Nahum to tell them to turn away from their bad course. If they didn’t listen then God told them, “ Nineveh…, a sword will cut you off… There is no relief for your catastrophe.” They did listen and they stopped practicing this cruelty. Yet, as the time went by they came back to their old ways. At this, in 632 B.C.E the Babylonians, Scythians and Medes besieged Nineveh. The floods destroyed its great walls. Making it easier for the enemies to attack them. So, in the end I learned that God keeps his promises. Therefore, we can fully trust that His word will not return to Him without results.
