MODULE: HABAKKUK ONE OF THE TWELVE MINOR PROPHETS The Christ of Habakkuk The word salvation appears three times in 3:13, 18 and is the root word from which the name Jesus is derived (Mt.1:21). When He comes again, "the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (2:14). Keys to Habakkuk 1. Key words: "The just shall live by His faith" The circumstances of life sometimes appear to contradict God's revelation concerning His power and purposes. Habakkuk struggles in his faith when he sees men flagrantly violate God's law and distort justice on every level, without fear of divine intervention. He wants to know why God allows this growing iniquity to go unpunished. When God reveals His intention to use Babylon as His rod of judgment, Habakkuk is even more troubled because that nation is more corrupt than Judah. God's answer satisfies Habakkuk that he can trust Him even in the worst of circumstances because of His matchless wisdom, goodness, and power. God's plan is perfect, and nothing is big enough to stand in the way of its ultimate fulfillment. In spite of appearances to the contrary, God is still on the throne as the Lord of history and the Ruler of the nations. God may be slow to wrath, but all iniquity will be punished eventually. He is the only worthy object of faith, and the righteous man will trust in Him at all times. 2.
