“The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.”
Nahum 1:7 NKJV
The people of Israel had been oppressed yet again by a foe and had turned back to the Lord. God promised them that He knew which of them trusted Him and promised to take care of them in the day of trouble. The day, in question, He would irradicate the foe that had been oppressing the people was promised to be a horrific one. The verses surrounding this promise, detail the absolute destruction of Israel’s foes. God promises to do the same for us. At the end of the age, God will put an end to all evil left on this earth. God will separate the good people from the bad people at the final judgment, and if you’re covered by the blood of his son, Jesus, then you will be able to be spared from the wrath that is to come. Anyone that is left will be thrown into the lake of fire and destroyed If you trust and obey Him He will be your stronghold protecting you from the wrath enacted on evil at the end of the age. As well as this He will be your help in this life as well. You need not worry about this life or the next because you can rest knowing that God is looking after you.
