UNCERTAINTY IS UNAVOIDABLE

Nahum 1:1-8 (NASB) – 1 The pronouncement of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite: 2 A jealous and avenging God is the Lord; The Lord is avenging and wrathful. The Lord takes vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserves wrath for His enemies. 3 The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. In the gale and the storm is His way, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet. 4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither, the blossoms of Lebanon wither. 5 Mountains quake because of Him, and the hills come apart; Indeed, the earth is upheaved by His presence, the world and all the inhabitants in it. 6 Who can stand before His indignation? Who can endure the burning of His anger? His wrath gushes forth like fire, and the rocks are broken up by Him. 7 The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who take refuge in Him. 8 But with an overflowing flood he will make a complete end of its site, and will pursue His enemies into darkness.
