The Capital of the Assyrian Empire, Nineveh, was destroyed in 612 B.C as prophesied in the Bible. The city fell when Nabopolassar’s Babylonian army.

These prophecies can be read of in the books of Jonah and Nahum.

• An “overflowing flood” would “make an utter end of its place” (Nahum. 1:8)
• Nineveh would be destroyed while her inhabitants drunk” (Nahum. 1:10)
• Nineveh would be unprotected because “fire shall devour the bars of your gates” (Nahum. 3:13)
• Nineveh would never recover, for their “injury has no healing” (Nahum. 3:19)
• The downfall of Nineveh would come with remarkable ease, like figs falling when the tree is shaken (Nahum. 3:12)
