The Exegete

The Lord answers.

Habakkuk’s question and complaint telling him that He is bringing the Babylonians in to judge His own people. The description of the Babylonian army is sobering. 

Habakkuk looks at culture and recognizes that the moral has been abandoned. He notes four disastrous results of the rejection of God’s law.

Habakkuk begins his book of prophecy by asking God, "Why LORD? Why do you delay to answer my prayers?" No doubt a question all Christians have asked. We look at six biblical reason why God delays in answer prayer requests.

The first lesson is an Old Testament overview that moves all the way from creation to the time of Habakkuk’s prophetic ministry around 608 BC, which anticipates the coming of Babylon for judgment of Judah.
