Abstract

Those who investigate the harmony that exists between Nahum’s prophecy and Nineveh's exit from history will be deeply impressed with the truth that the Old Testament prophets were guided, not by Ahnungsvermoegen, that ability to anticipate which keen-minded students of human affairs sometimes show, but by a divinely inspired prophetic genius. The composite picture which secular history draws of the last days of Nineveh shows in many particulars an amazing agreement with Nahum's prophetic delineation.
