Nahum says that he wrote his message down, not that he proclaimed it. His message likely was about 80 years after Jonah (according to the editors of my Bible) and he was writing about judgement on Ninevah. So God gave Ninevah a chance, forgave them, but here they are again. This time there is no chance for forgiveness. They're dead.
And in the midst he declares his promise to Israel: "Judah and Israel are like trees with branches broken by their enemies. But the LORD is going to restore their power and glory."
