INTRODUCTION: Well, we had come to the halfway mark in these 12 minor prophets, we took a little intermission and now we are in book 7. And by this time we are becoming used to going to the very first verse of the book, where, in numerous books, we get very important introductory information. And although we do not get anything regarding the dates when this book was written, we do get some very important information. Nahum 1:1 says, "The burden against Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite."
The information of this book was received as a vision by a man by name of Micah. The name Micah means 'consolation.' That may give us an important clue as to the purpose of this book as we will see later. I understand that Elkosh was a small town in the Galilee area. By the way, the Sea of Galilee for a good number of recent years was suffering for water. When we were there a few years ago I was amazed at how low it was. Well, it has received an abundance of water and is now at a safe level again. Elkosh was in the Galilee area.
