	Book of Habakkuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However one clue to the date of Habakkuk's work is the reference to the rise and advance of the Chaldeans in 1:6 -11, which locates it in the last quarter of the 7th century B.C. One possible period might be during the reign of Jehoiakim, who reigned from 609 -598 BC.
		The book of Habakkuk is a book of the Bible Old Testament and stands eighth in a section known as the 12 Minor Prophets in the Masoretic and Greek texts.
		Habakkuk addresses his concerns over the fact that the punishment for Judah's sins is going to be executed by what was thought to be a sinful nation in Habakkuk's eyes.

	Habakkuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The name is possibly related to an Akkadian word for a plant or the Hebrew word meaning "embrace." He was the eighth of the twelve minor prophets, and likely the author of the Book of Habakkuk, which bears his name.
		Practically nothing is known about Habakkuk's personal history, and all that we surmise is inferred from the text of his book, which consists of five oracles about the Chaldeans (Assyrians) and a song of praise to God.
		Because of the final chapter of his book, which is a poetic praise of God, it has been assumed that Habakkuk was likely a member of the Levitical choir in the Temple.

	Habakkuk (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		Habakkuk (chabhaqquq) means "embrace," or "ardent embrace." Some of the ancient rabbis, connecting the name with II Kings 4:16, "Thou shalt embrace a son," imagined that the prophet was the son of the Shunammite woman.
		Habakkuk 2:1-4 : Yahweh solves the perplexing problem by announcing that the exaltation of the Chaldeans will be but temporary; in the end they will meet their doom, while the righteous will live.
		Habakkuk 2:9-20 are denied to Habakkuk chiefly on two grounds: (1) The "woes" are said to be in part, at least, unsuitable, if supposed to be addressed to the Chaldean king.

	Book of Habakkuk - Bible Survey
		Author: Habakkuk 1:1 identifies the Book of Habakkuk as an oracle from the Prophet Habakkuk.
		Habakkuk was wondering why God was allowing His chosen people to go through the current suffering at the hands of their enemies.
		Then Habakkuk writes a prayer that is a psalm because it is set to music that expresses his strong faith in God, even through these trials (Habakkuk 3:1-19).

	Introduction to Habakkuk
		The final note dedicated to the principal musician (3:19) perhaps signifies that Habakkuk was authorized, as a member of the Levitical family, to lead the worship in the temple.
		Habakkuk probably wrote his book in the interval between the fall of Nineveh, in 612 B.C., and the fall of Jerusalem in 586 B.C. Historical Setting: (IBD) The Book of Habakkuk belongs to that turbulent era in ancient history when the balance of power was shifting from the Assyrians to the Babylonians.
		The Apostle Paul considers this principle of the book of Habakkuk as the cornerstone of the Gospel of Christ (Rom.

		The effect is to characterize Habakkuk, the psalm's speaker (3.1), as a faithful and orthodox Yahwist, despite the complaints expressed earlier in the book (1.2-4, 12-17).
		In Habakkuk 3, the explicit attribution of the psalm to 'Habakkuk the prophet' (v.
		Habakkuk's psalm remains unique among inset hymns (and, in the case of the colophon, among the Psalms) for the technical nature of its markers, but this is much less true of the version excerpted for the LXX 'Odes'.

	Francis I. Andersen, Habakkuk: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary
		The book comprises two basic parts, Habakkuk's interchange with YHWH (Habakkuk 1-2) in which the prophet demands a response from G-d, and the Prayer-Hymn of Habakkuk (Habakkuk 3) in which the prophet relates his vision of YHWH's response.
		It would seem instead that "the wicked/evil" throughout the book refer not to Judeans, but to the Babylonians from the outset; indeed, there is no signal within the book that the term shifts in its understanding of the identity of "the wicked" as many contend.
		The book of Jeremiah is fully conscious of the Babylonian exile and its consequences, and this recognition informs his book's view of Judah's guilt and punishment at the hands of the Babylonians.

	I Hear, and Tremble
		The book of Habakkuk unfolds as a dialogue between Habakkuk and Yahweh.
		Habakkuk is utterly convinced of Chaldea's imminent destruction by Yahweh (it is less clear if he is convinced of Judah's imminent destruction by Chaldea).
		In his first speech, Habakkuk sets up the value judgment that forms the basis for his complaint against Judahite society: violence and destruction are the antithesis of justice.

		Presumably, Habakkuk bore his recorded message prior to the time these reforms became effective, possibly during the latter part of the reign of Manasseh (ending in 642 b.c., the short reign of Amon (642640), or the early years of Josiah's reign (640609).
		The great theme of the book of Habakkuk is that God is still in control of the affairs of earth, even though sin and violence make the opposite appear to be true, and that ultimately righteousness and justice will prevail.
		Habakkuk sincerely loved the Lord and longed earnestly for the triumph of righteousness and justice, but he could not understand why God let apostasy and oppression go unchecked and unpunished among His chosen people (Hab.

	Hearing the Children's Cries
		In the book of Habakkuk just such a blind spot occurs in its construction of justice and injustice as they relate to the exercise of violence.
		In Habakkuk's subsequent hymn, Yahweh's violence and destruction against the defenseless earth and its inhabitants are hailed as the epitome of justice.
		The book of Habakkuk leaves its readers with no reliable way to tell the difference between just and unjust violence, and "when a distinction cannot be rigorous and precise, it is not a distinction at all" (Derrida, Limited Inc. [Northwestern, 1989] 123-124).

		A knowledge of Hebrew can tell us that Habakkuk's name means "embrace," but about the life of the prophet we can learn almost nothing.
		From his book we can gather that he wrote to the people of Judah about the time that the Babylonians were beginning to be a threat to Judah (cf.1:6).
		Habakkuk's third and last chapter is his prayer to God.

	NOTES ON The Book of HABAKKUK
		It is probable, Habakkuk lived and prophesied in the reign of king Manasseh.
		His book is a mixture of the prophet's addresses to God in the peoples name, and to the people in God's name.
		The whole, particularly, refers to the invasion of the land of Judah by the Chaldeans: but it is of general use especially to those who are tempted, concerning the prosperity of bad, and troubles of good men.

	Bible Survey: The Book of Habakkuk
		The title of the book is the same in Hebrew as it is in the English and Greek translations.
		There have been suggestions that Habakkuk was the son of the Shunammite woman of 2 Kings 4:16, or the watchman of Isaiah 21:6, all without any firm evidence of any kind.
		The prophet Habakkuk, who was in Judaea, had made a stew; he broke bread into the bowl, and he was on the way to his field, carrying it to the reapers, when an angel of the Lord said to him, "Habakkuk, carry that meal you have to Babylon for Daniel, who is in the lion-pit."

		It was about 600 years before Christ and Habakkuk looked around at the society around him and saw a nation that was supposed to be a religious nation dedicated to God and he saw all kinds of injustice in it.
		So the Book of Habakkuk is a record of this conversation now that he has with God about this issue.
		That's what the Book of Revelation reveals, is that this is the kind of world that we live in and this is ultimately the answer the church holds on to until Jesus comes again.

		Habakkuk’s name means to “embrace” or “wrestle.” As is usually the case, his name has something to do with the message of the book.
		Habakkuk is preaching against it, but he is having little effect.
		Therefore, although the book does not give the date directly, we can assume the date is some time before the Chaldeans (1:6) invaded Jerusalem in 605 BC, and some time after the Chaldeans became famous as an oppressive world power.

	A commentary on the Old Testament Book of Habakkuk
		It wasn’t that Habakkuk had sat down and dreamed the message up, neither that he’d consulted the former prophets, reworked their messages and come up with his own brand of ‘spirituality’, but that a coercion or pressure had come upon him that he was at pains to despatch to whomsoever he was directed.
		Habakkuk begins by a consideration of mankind as being ‘like the fish of the sea’ (Hab 1:14) with no ruler over them (in the sense, probably, of their rejection of YHWH as the head of all things and of their commitment to follow His example).
		Habakkuk must have expected that a response to what God would say to him would be allowed for he pre-empts it by looking to the reply as a springboard to continue the conversation.
