Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
1:15 Nahum supplements his prophecy of Judah’s release from bondage (1:13) with a prediction of the arrival of a messenger bringing the good news of restored peace (see also Isa 52:7). The message of peace was that Assyria’s hold on Judah would be broken and God’s people would be free of its burden. This took place during the reign of Josiah (640–609 BC), after the death of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal in 626 BC. This political message is a foretaste of God’s final triumph over evil, when his people will be released from bondage to sin through the saving work of the Messiah and be given eternal peace (Zeph 3:13; Luke 2:10-14; Acts 10:34-43; Rom 10:15; Eph 2:14-18).
