Habakkuk

Habakkuk, whose name means "embrace," prophesied to Judah concerning the impending invasion by the Chaldeans. Moral and spiritual decline marked the life of the nation. Habakkuk was a man of deeply tender nature and spiritual character. He manifested a great love for his people, fulfilling the position of watchman over them. His questions and doubts arose from his jealousy for the holiness and justice of God. The prophet was perplexed over God's permission of evil in Judah, and even more so over God's use of Babylon as the rod of correction for His people. The answer to his question is found in 2:4 which is the key verse of the book and is quoted in Rom. 1:17; Gal.3:11; Heb. 10:38. It sets forth the cause of life and death. Sin must issue in destruction; faith invariably leads to spiritual life. The theophany in ch.3, reminiscent of that at Mount Sinai, is one of the grandest in the Bible.
