Jordan - Nahum 1

God is a fluffy God today.  A big peaceful person in the sky who helps in times of need.  Nothing like the Zeus like figure of Nahum 1 who is raining lightning bolts down on Nineveh.  Does God just get more credit back then? You do hear about those crazy people who think certain wars and acts were ordained by God because God is angry at us for such and such.  Was Nahum crazy?  If I lived in his time, would I have believed that God was seeking vengeance on Nineveh just as Micah thought God was punishing Israel?
