San Nahum, Propeta

San Nahum ay isa sa twelve minor prophets of the Old Testament. Siya lived sa panahon ng the ika-7 siglo BCE at ay mula sa the bayan of Elkosh, na ay likely located in Galilee. Nahum's prophecy focused on the impending destruction of the Assyrian Empire, partikular na its capital lungsod of Nineveh. His writings emphasize God's katarungan at power, pati na rin His mercy towards those na trust in Him. Nahum ay sinasamba dahil sa kanyang prophetic gifts at dahil sa kanyang steadfast faith in the face of oppression. Siya ang patron ng the bayan of Aloné in Lebanon.
