Habakkuk
Revered by Christians, Jews and Muslims alike, Habakkuk – one of the twelve minor prophets in the Old Testament – prophecies around 612 BC via a dialogue with Yahweh. Worried that God will use the Babylonian Empire to render violent judgment on Judah for their sins, he questions with wisdom of God, asking why he doesn’t intervene to save them.
God explains that he will also judge the Babylonians – and much more harshly. Habakkuk, though he doesn’t fully understanding God’s ways, ultimately expresses faith in him. This concept, that the just shall live by faith, has played an important role in Christian thought.
Habakkuk is presented here by the Audio Bible channel without music or drama, just a pure reading of the scripture as written, along with scrolling text for an engaging experience so you may read, study, and absorb.
