Habakkuk asked God to remove wickedness and injustice from a nation that professed to believe in the High and Holy One who inhabits eternity. He was told of God's purpose to chastise severely this wayward people. The rod with which the Lord would correct them would be a violent invasion by a cruel and bloodthirsty enemy. The aggressors would destroy the 'land' which God had given Israel and would carry large portions of the Jewish population into captivity. This article is an exposition of Habakkuk 3:17-19.

Chapter three of Habakkuk is the great temple prayer composed by the prophet in the backdrop of God's revelations to him in chapters one and two. These had predicted two great historic crises, one for Judah under attack from Babylon and one for Babylon in the day of her destruction. Habakkuk's prayer began with petitions in verses 1 and 2. He pleaded for believers in Israel – that God would grant them life, understanding and mercy in the midst of the critical years. However, prayer to God is composed of more than making requests of the Most High.

In the prophet’s first prayer (Hab. 1:2-4) he asked the Almighty how he could endure the violence and injustice within Judah. God’s first revelation to his servant (Hab. 1:5-11) disclosed a brutal invasion of Judah about to come from Babylon in response to the nation’s sin. In a second prayer (Hab. 1:12-2:1) the prophet boldly questioned how a holy God could countenance triumph by the most wicked of men over the less wicked. We are now in the midst of considering God’s second revelation to the prophet (Hab.

Habakkuk was in a vigilant posture (Hab.2:2-4). He was fully expecting a response from the Most High to his prayer. The prophet's words had bordered on impudence in conversation with the Almighty. It had been suggested that the Holy One surely could not stand by in silence as heathen atrocities were unleashed against a guilty (but less wicked) Israel. The prophet fully anticipated being corrected by God himself.. This article is an exposition of Habakkuk 2:2-4. 

We in the modern western nations stand in a position similar to that of Habakkuk in ancient times. As we examine our own culture we observe that the majority of 'Christian churches' are distant from believing Scriptural doctrine and keeping God's commandments. Governmental and educational systems are hostile to God's truth. Therefore immorality is rampant and genuine Christians are despised. Every institution of our society is enfeebled through drifting without a moral compass.. This article is an exposition of Habakkuk 1:12-2:1. 

Habakkuk had long prayed against the sins of God's special nation – Judah. Like most of us, he was a patriot. He loved his nation, and he loved the saints who lived within his homeland.
