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 2:15-17? World Powers will be condemned by their actions when they humiliate the nations that they have invaded and have occupied just like the Babylonians were defeated and occupied later in history by the Persians. When nations or a more powerful people humiliate weaker groups, God records their evil ways and their wicked actions will be repaid back to them and the Lord will have the last laugh.
