பற்றி · About

Habakkuk was a prophet who lived in Judah, likely during the late 7th century BC, before the Babylonian exile. The book of Habakkuk, which bears his name, records a unique dialogue between the prophet and God. Habakkuk questioned God's justice, asking why evil seemed to go unpunished and the righteous suffered (Hab.1.2-4). God responded by revealing His plan to use the Babylonians to punish Judah's wickedness (Hab.1.5-11). Habakkuk then struggled with the idea of God using a wicked nation to punish His people (Hab.1.12-2:1). God assured Habakkuk that the Babylonians would also face judgment for their sins, and that the righteous would live by faith (Hab.2.2-20). The book concludes with a prayer of Habakkuk, in which he expresses his trust in God despite the difficult circumstances (Hab.3.1-19). Habakkuk's message emphasizes the importance of faith and trust in God, even when His ways are difficult to understand.
