And in the regions we now call YEMEN. And then migrated over the Red Sea carrying their language with them. But recent discoveries, while there were such migrations, have discovered a Semitic presence of influence as far back as approx 2000 B.C.E.
The name “NO-amon” is not HEBREW, not solely, it is Hebrew on the first part “NO” and Egyptian an the second “amon” the proper name of a pagan god.
But NAHUM in Nahum 3:8 does not declare an Egyptian Title, he makes an Egyptian Reference, but not a TITLE. THE CITY HE NAMES does not share the SAME name as Thebes formal name “No-amon.” The city Nahum draws parallel to, is a Populace named “NO.” And the City, was not a small city it was a POPULOUS, a METROPOLIS of it's era.
So we must ask "who" in History of any on the list of GREAT CITIES, is missing from role call? Who is it, as a POPULOUS that was referred to in the feminine, and likewise noted “Egypt and Ethiopia were 'HER' Strength” who also represented a GREAT POPULOUS no one seems to know the location of anymore? “SEEMS”. For we are about to find out.
Well, we know the title is the Hebrew name “NO”. We must then, if realizing THEBES does not fit the bill for this City Nahum References, find out, we must ask...who does?
When we do find the answer, perhaps we will see, our modern present timeframe reflected in the same passages in a modern replay of Nahum that has been in play for the last 80 years.
What of that modern application? I have asserted that such is a matter applying in Chapter 3, not to the events at WACO in 1993 by modern replay, but rather, to events to come after1993 and to our very present timeframe.
SO CAN THE DISCOVERY of whom this city is in Nahum 3, called “NO”, in looking at recent years, recognizing A modern replay to have been fulfilled in the Waco event of 1993 in the passages of Nahum 2:1-6, then further confirm the passages of Nahum 3 in the modern replay to not have already been fulfilled, but rather to be at our door in this present timeframe?
YES. Most emphatically, if you follow along, if you pay attention, I assure you, if you have been paying attention and seeking the truth, you will be able to see it plainly.
In such, we find ourselves in the same passages of scripture, for if we cannot declare our place in scripture, where are we? You will be able to see not just the role of those who were at WACO, but those righteous souls who sat in shock.
We begin our search by asking WHO IS BEING ADDRESSED in Nahum 3?
There are two parties being addressed, the BLOODY CITY in verses 1-8, THE CITY and it’s King in vs 9 as we see a transition in focus by the Spirit, and then the KING of that CITY which rules a kingdom is addressed directly between vs 10 forward.
I have asserted that the BLOODY CITY in Nahum 3,in the Modern Replay of Nahum, is Washington D.C., and that she can be seen quietly present in Revelation 17:17-18:2 in the events of 9-11-2001, as can likewise NYC be quietly seen present in looking at in Nahum 2:13 through Nahum 3:1-6. In parallel while Washington DC is strongly seen in these verses, in the 911 event, and NY less so, but still, then likewise in counter fashion we see Washington DC in asserting “I SIT A QUEEN and AM NO WIDOW AND SHALL SEE NO SORROW” in Revelation 18. IN HINDSIGHT, we can easily see in passages of Revelation 18, a clearly depicted playing out of NY City fulfilling such on 9/11/2001 and the days which followed.
Much of the ground work for this was laid in the studies offering an EXPLANATION of NAHUM 2, and 3, The Modern Replay. IF you have not read those, they are foundational, this study may still help you, but you should consider the content of the former study as they cover in detail events which have happened in this world illustrating a continual chronological replay of Nahum for approx the last 70-80 years. In those studies, parts 1 and 2 to this study, two levels of application were seen of Nahum playing out in a Modern Re-Play, in those studies the 2 perspectives seen were events playing out on 1) The Micro. IN such events happened directly verse by verse as seen in Nahum To the generations which beheld them, having direct impact on their lives, and then the same generations witnessed other portions of NAHUM playing out 2)in the Macro. IN this sense, the MACRO, Nahum was seen re-playing itself, but not solely impacting them, not only Those Paying Attention in the Macro, rather, in broader applications, TO THE WORLD AT LARGE! In such those paying attention witnessed in the MACRO playing out, more Foreshadow and Hindsight, than fulfillment. As One Generation of THOSE Paying attention shifted to the next, such witness continued by Macro applications to those under Victor Houteff, then Likewise to those Under David Koresh, each group seeing for a time a seemingly complete fulfillment of the modern replay of Nahum. But just as those under the sound of David’s Ministry some 30 years after the Death of Victor Houteff, who saw the events which began fulfilling themselves from Nahum under brother Houteff, and seemed to have run their course, had in fact not, and were continuing to their witness. Now we see, those of us Paying attention, we see likewise and find ourselves in the latter stages of Nahum, and when seen in perspective will correlate to where we are in Revelation 18, as well as Ecclesiastes 12, and Daniel 11 simultaneously amongst other passages.
So who then is being asked to compare themselves to the POPULOUS OF NO?
And at what time was there ever a HEBREW FEMININE NAME given for a person or place of whom EGYPT AND ETHIOPIA WERE HER STRENGTH? The term “NO” is Hebrew Feminine in that passage as I understand it. Perhaps you disagree.
Well, we know that THE CITY, the BLOODY CITY Of Nahum 3 is being asked to ask themselves if they were better than somebody else, if they were better than the populous of “NO”? And we see in vs 5-7 The L-RD declares Judgment to come, and states in such to the Bloody City that “AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT THEY THAT LOOK UPON THEE, Shall Flee from thee, and SAY NINEVEH is Laid Waste.”
Well, we see this city called “NINEVEH,” and in such we see similar events as those we see in Revelation 18 when the prophecy states they would FLEE in TERROR and weep and wail from afar off, not even getting close to “HER” for fear of her torments…but in such, Revelation 18 seems to be addressing in that passage not one called NINEVEH, but one called BABYLON. We can clearly see the 9/11 event at NY City in that passage, but NY City was not the only city struck that day was it? No, it wasn’t.
In such, in the weeks to come, TWO Cities were in headlines, one devastated, one trying to pick up the pieces, and one is addressed here in NAHUM 3:8, saying “Art thou better than the populous (that great city) that was Situate among the RIVERS (Plural, as NY City is,) that had waters ROUND ABOUT IT, (As Ny City Does) and whose Rampart was the Sea, (as NY Cities was) and Her WALL was from the Sea.
Sure sounds like Washington and DC being addressed here, and on levels they are, but NY City, while in similar position, on several levels, was not the city of “NO” in this modern application. We need to find out who that city was by HISTORIC application before we can see who it is in our timeframe.
In Verse 9 there is a transition of the conversation to address another, not just the city, but it’s king, the KING of that BLOODY CITY called Nineveh of whom while spared the brunt on 9/11/1993 is still prophesied against by the LORD, to see far worse than we shall see did NY City, and in such, it shall see, it is no better than the Populous of NO.
In vs 9, we see, ETHIOPA AND EGYPT were her Strength,…whose Strength? The people of “NO.” We seen A modern BLOODY Nineveh addressed, and now vs 9 continues to state…”BUT PUT and LUBIM were they Helpers.”
BUT in vs 10, we see an event recalled to surface, a memory brought back to the table, a thing NOT FORGOTTEN. Lets recall the opening passages of Nahum chapter 1 states, “THE LORD REVENGETH, THE LORD REVENGETH” and note Revelation 18 illustrates the L-RD in action of bringing about Vengeance stated as such in the chapter. In looking in hindsight to the 9-11 event we see then one matter of Divine Retribution on the agenda of Heaven,stated in both Revelation 18, and in Nahum whose opening prose starts with an address in whom "THE LORD REVENGETH, THE LORD REVENGETH (Nahum 1:2) to what we seen as "Babylon is Fallen, Is Fallen"...then seeing one event in two passages of prophesy, one matter of Vengeance, two cities.
We seen A modern BLOODY Nineveh addressed, and now vs 9 continues to state…”BUT PUT and LUBIM were they Helpers.”
And now here, we see another addressed, but we collectively do not yet understand the question that was asked, and cannot fully understand until we know who the city of “NO” in this modern application is. We have clues, it sat by the sea, it was surrounded by rivers and waters and Ethiopia and EGYPT were it’s strength. The fact that EGYPT AND ETHIOPIA were presented in that fashion to formerly have been “HER” strength, may imply a stronger tie to one than the other…a stronger tie to ETHIOPIA. Thebes, not only does not fit the bill for Nahum’s description, in his question to bring self reflection to the BLOODY CITY NINEVEH in Nahum 3, BUT THEBES was a CITY OF EGYPT.
I would think if anything, if THEBES did fit the bill, we would have heard Nahum note solely first the country to which is its home, that “EGYPT AND ETHIOPIA WERE HER STRENGTH,” but that was not how he presented it did he? We have another clue. Well, what became of that city that was Taken away?
Vs 10 declares “YET Was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.”
Man, that was awful, sounds a lot like the Waco event, I have seen pictures of the autopsy photos of the bodies of those children taken from that crushed bunker. And the news of of it was spread AT THE TOP OF ALL THE STREETS, at street corners, store fronts, everywhere there was a newspaper machine. And well, those we see that which became of her honorable men, leaving a man in a ditch for days, shooting his carcass for sport, taking wagers on who would get the kill shot. And all her great men, every one, bound in chains. It was the women, who went about taboring on their breasts, who held it together in the first days after that fire. Ron Cole notes it was not one of the men, but one of the women, Catherine Matteson who asked him to be the spokesperson, to serve in that capacity, to SPEAK on their behalf, THOSE THINGS THEY WISHED TO SAY but could not bring themselves to do so. Ron Cole was an outsider who never even heard the word Branch Davidian prior to February 28th, 1993. THE MEN of the church, could not speak, could not go about TABORING upon thier breasts, because they were taken away, bound in chains, just as those noted in Nahum 3:8-10 of THE POPULOUS OF NO were seen to have been.
Do you recall the lesson of HUZZAB? We see in Nahum 3:10 a series of events which take us back in memory and also correlate to that which occurred in the opening verses of Nahum chapter 2.
In Nahum 3 vs 10 we see a woman led away captive, we see her called by her role as a member of the POPULOUS OF NO, addressed as the representative for such in Vs 8-10 of chapter 3.
And in chapter 2, we see her named as HUZZAB, as the mention of her children dashed in Pieces, places then the memory called to surface as not a thing that is happening, would happen, but already has. In such, we see then by the crime against Humanity, against Heaven itself, if children were dashed in pieces, then there must have been one who “DASHETH IN PIECES” and all of sudden we are taken back to 1993.
