God Will Use What Tried To Break You

• Nineveh was a place that was controlled by the Assyrians. They were brutal. They were cruel. They hated Israel. Hated all of the Hebrew people especially. They were famous for their brutality. They were famous for the way that they would behead uh their enemies. On one of the walls, it’s thought that there were up to 30,000 skulls embedded in the walls of the city of Nineveh.
• They had pyramids that they had built, smaller ones, pyramids and piles and piles of skulls. They were known for specifically inventing. This is this is brutal what I’m saying. But they would when particularly they called a prophet that Cain sent by God to oppose their great idolatry, the worship of idols, they would cut their tongue out and they would skin them alive.
• And it was a brutal way of torture and then behead them and use their heads as trophies. They even had parades that the family remaining family members would have to carry the skull in worship to one of their deities named Deegon. And they would have to carry in that parade the loved ones remains the head. I say that because I want you to understand Nineveh.
• I want you to understand it was the headquarters for the terrorists of that day. As it it was as bad of people as you could get. They would brutalize women. They would brutalize children. They would torture. They would mutilate. And God loved them. God loved them so much that he sent prophet after prophet after prophet that they killed and put their heads in the walls as trophies.
