Nahum, chapter 3, verse 6, I will throw filth
on you and make you vile and set you up as a
spectacle. Here, God's revenge will not be in
a secret place or without everyone knowing. It
will not be at the end of life by sending them
to hell. It will be a spectacle. They will look
and see something totally out of place as if
one who was... seemingly prosperous and victorious
is ruined in a very public way. It isn't going
to be nice or gentle. It isn't going to be pleasant
for sure. The more you've gotten away with publicly
not following God, the more the public humiliation
when he takes his vengeance. The media doesn't
like to play their part in this. As much as they
love to show ruin, they are not quick to give
God glory. Even the church is extremely cautious
to recognize his action in this way because everyone
wants to think of God as a giant teddy bear God.
But God will not be mocked. He can, and when
it's appropriate, does bring people down. He
can do it publicly, and when people deserve it
for their evil, he doesn't have to be nice about
it. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
His wrath is just as real as his love.
