---Typology for the deliverance of the remnant from spiritual Babylon---
"After allowing approximately two hundred years of powerful Assyrian kings and rulers, God announced through Nahum His 
plans to judge the city of Nineveh. While the book as a whole clearly shows God’s concern over sin, His willingness to punish those guilty of wickedness, and His power to carry out His desire for judgment, it also contains rays of hope shining through the darkness. Most significant, the people of Judah would have immediately taken hope in the idea that Nineveh, their primary oppressor for generations, would soon come under judgment from God. Also, a small but faithful remnant in an increasingly idolatrous Judah would have been comforted by declarations of God’s slowness to anger, His goodness and strength, and His restorative power."
---To the Remnant---
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;
and he knoweth them that trust in him.
---To spiritual "Babylon" (Assyria)---
And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee,
that no more of thy name be sown:
out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image
and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile
---To spiritual "Babylon" (Assyria)---
And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee,
that no more of thy name be sown:
out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image
and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile
Nahum 1:7,14
