Summary
We do not know who Habakkuk was, but we do know is that the book of Habakkuk contains his conversations with God and his prayers on behalf of the people. One significant verse in the book, chapter 2, verse 4, states, "The just shall live by faith," which is also quoted by Paul in Romans 1:16-17. This verse played a crucial role in Martin Luther's questioning of the Roman Catholic Church's practices during the Reformation. The first two chapters of Habakkuk is a dialogue between the prophet and God, while chapter three contains a prayer where Habakkuk asks for a revival, similar to what many of us also pray for. The prophet recognizes God's power and asks Him to reveal it once again, pleading for mercy despite His anger. Habakkuk's desire is for people to turn back to God.

Steve Webb 0:39Habakkuk chapter one. This is a vision the prophet Habakkuk received from the Lord. Here is what Habakkuk said, Lord, how long do I have to call out for help? Why won't you listen to me? How long must I keep telling you that things are terrible? Why don't you save us? Why do you make me watch while people treat others so unfairly? Why do you put up with the wrong things they're doing? I have to look at death. People are harming others. They are arguing and fighting all the time. The law can't do what it's supposed to do. Fairness never comes out on top. sinful people surround those who do what is right so people are never treated fairly. The Lord replies, look at the nation's watch them be totally amazed at what you see. I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe you would not believe it, even if someone told you about it. I am going to send the armies of Babylonia to attack you. They are very mean they move quickly. They sweep across the whole earth. They take over places that do not belong to them. They terrify others. They do not recognize any laws but their own. That is how proud they are. Their horses are faster than leopards. They are meaner than wolves in the dark. Their horsemen charge straight into battle. They ride in from far away. They come down like an eagle diving for its food. All of them are ready to destroy others. They're huge armies advanced like a wind out of the desert. They gather prisoners like sand. They laugh at Kings and make fun of rulers. They laugh at all of the cities that have high walls around them. They build dirt ramps against the walls and capture the ...
