What attributes of God are described in Nahum's prophecy?

Answered in 1 source

Nahum describes God as jealous, long-suffering, omnipotent, just, sovereign, and good.

In Nahum 1, six attributes of God are highlighted: He is jealous, long-suffering, great in power, just, sovereign, and good. Each attribute reveals facets of His divine nature working in harmony. God's jealousy stems from His desire for the sanctification of His name and His people, while His long-suffering indicates His patience and grace towards sinners. His omnipotence assures us that He is capable of executing His will without limitation. Justice is central to His character, ensuring that He will not acquit the wicked. Furthermore, God's sovereignty assures believers that He has control over all circumstances, culminating in the affirmation that He is fundamentally and eternally good.
