Book of Nahum: God a strong refuge Book of Nahum - Falling of 'the other' walls in the Old Testament The refuge of Nineveh falls, refuge in God remains A review of some key and interesting archeology finds concerning the fall of Nineveh with a flood, fire and fallen wall The father of Nebechadnezzer lay siege to Nineveh but only for 3 months The rivers overflowed, a 2.5 mile stretch of the city walls fell, the foundations undermined There was indeed flood. There was fire and the King put much of his treasures in his palace and burned it, so there was indeed fire all as Nahum said would happen. Sand and pebbles found in the archaeological ruins of the city attest to a flood along with the witness of Greek historians who also claimed the same Nahum warned the city of Thebes they feel secure surrounded by water to protect themselves but they will fall and so Nahum wrote long before the fall of Thebes. Another word that came to pass centuries later. The phrase 'how beautiful on the mountains are those who bring good news' occurs both in Isaiah and Nahum and quoted in Romans. The tomb of Nahum the Elkashite is said to be in AlQosh, Iraq https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSK_zMZXZws
