An Old Testament prophet of Galilee who recorded his prophecies sometime between 642 and 606 B.C.

The book of Nahum: Chapter 1 speaks of the burning of the earth at the Second Coming and of the Lord's mercy and power. Chapter 2 tells of Nineveh's destruction, which is a foreshadowing of what will come in the latter days. Chapter 3 continues to foretell Nineveh's miserable destruction.
