Habakkuk pronounces God’s great power in terms of His control over nature and as a warrior who comes in judgment.

Habakkuk continues to proclaim the Lord’s power by means of God’s past works and in his description of God coming as a warrior.

God is the sovereign lord over all gods and spiritual powers. All that He does is for eternal purposes including all the aspects of His redemptive work in our lives.

The second part of Habakkuk chapter three is “The Pronouncement of God’s power,” vs 3-15. In this session we begin to look at God’s past works with emphasis on what the LORD did in delivering His people from Egypt some 800 years prior to Habakkuk.

Woe #5 concludes with stunning contrasts between idols and the true living God; chapter three begins with Habakkuk's prayer in awe of God and his request for the Lord to revive His people

We consider three observations about idols and two stunning contrasts between idols and the living God of creation.

The Lord speaks to Babylon with the fourth “woe,” addressing debauchery and the sowing and reaping principle; and woe #5, the devastating and destructive matter of idolatry. Both of these issues have major application in today’s culture.

In Habakkuk chapter 2, Woe #3, the LORD continues to speak of judgment coming on Babylon, but He also mentions a fabulous and extraordinary future time in which the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD.

In this session we see God pronouncing the first two of five “woes” on Babylon pertaining to their sins of extreme greed and wanton violence. We also discuss the issue of where we, as God’s people, are putting our security in a culture that has striking parallels to that of ancient Babylon.
