* DoomedHometown: The whole book is aimed squarely at Nineveh, the Assyrian city that [[Literature/BookOfJonah Jonah the prophet]] was sent to by God to get them to repent. Apparently Nineveh has fallen back to their evil ways and has gone FromBadToWorse, and now God is going to bring judgment on them. (In the apocryphal [[Literature/BookOfTobit]], this is the city where the titular character lived in, and at the end his son Tobias is told to flee the city before its destruction.)
