Jesus in the Book of Habakkuk: A Sure Redemption

The book of Habakkuk is a conversation between the priest/prophet Habakkuk and God, based on a vision given to him. Unlike many of the other prophets, Habakkuk does not directly address the people. Instead, he records his raw dialogue with God during a time of national turmoil.

This powerful exchange between God and His prophet took place in the Old Testament between the fall of Israel and the fall of Judah, most likely just before the Babylonian invasions of Judah (beginning in 605 B.C.).

Habakkuk is one of the least-known prophets in Scripture. In fact, he is only mentioned in this book, in two verses:

●      Habakkuk 1:1: “The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw.”

●      Habakkuk 3:1: “A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.”
