A Contrast Between The World And The Righteous | Insights From Habakkuk 2:4-5


Listen Later

In today's episode, we will explore the Minor Prophet Habakkuk. So, who exactly was Habakkuk the Prophet? There is limited information about this Minor Prophet's background as revealed in the Bible. However, he served as a prophet to the Southern Kingdom of Israel, as indicated by the visions related to the Chaldeans, outlined in Habakkuk 1–2. These visions, articulated through Hebrew poetry, foreshadowed an imminent invasion by a foreign power. The impending threat to the Southern Kingdom of Israel would come from the Babylonians, a formidable and feared ancient empire on the rise.

What key insights can we glean from Habakkuk 2:2-4? First, the moral compass, the guiding principle of the righteous will be to get their joy in life from their Faith in God through Christ. Second, the worldly leaders pride and arrogance is based on their self idolatry.
