Habakkuk
The introduction below is from
Chuck Smith's Old Testament Study Guide,
available from all good Christian bookshops (contact
DCF
for details):
Habakkuk
prophesied during the reign of Manasseh, the evil son of
King Hezekiah, who had Isaiah put to death. During the reign
of Manasseh, the nation of Judah had sunk lower into
depravity than at any previous time in their history.
Habakkuk had spoken against the corruption of the government
and the nation and cried out to the Lord. Habakkuk
prophesied of Babylon’s coming invasion and of them being
used as a rod of God to punish God’s people.
The people of Judah didn’t feel any threat at this time from
the Babylonian Kingdom, as it had not yet become a major
world power. Yet, there is the prophecy that God will use
the Chaldeans as His instrument of judgement against Judah.
The key verse is Habakkuk 2:4, declaring, “But the just
shall live by faith.” The conditions were going to get worse
until the nation would be conquered by the Babylonians.
Habakkuk is going to need to trust God and have faith in
God, because there will be nothing else. .
