	Habakkuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Habakkuk or Havakuk (חֲבַקּוּק, Standard Hebrew Ḥavaqqūq, Tiberian Hebrew Ḥăḇaqqûq) was a prophet in the Bible Old Testament and Jewish Tanakh.
		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.

	Commentary on The Prophecy of Habakkuk
		Habakkuk prophesied at a time when the Babylonians were on the rise in the late 7th century BC, and the prophet is informed that they were being used as a means of God’s judgment against Judah and Jerusalem.
		Habakkuk acknowledges that he recognises that they are coming as instruments of chastening, and that God is over all and that therefore there was no need for despair.
		Habakkuk is declaring His confidence that although he cannot fully understand what is happening, He is confident that in the end God is their Rock.

	Habakkuk
		Habakkuk exited his conversation with God in fear but also with trust (3:16-19).
		Thus Habakkuk 1:5, which is a prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon in 586 BC, becomes a prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome in AD 70.
		Habakkuk is given a principle to live by when he faces Divinely ordained situations that tax the limits of his understanding.

	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.
		Habakkuk's prophecy is even introduced as a "burden" which the prophet saw (1:1).

	Psalmody and Prophecy: Habakkuk 3 in Context
		The psalm in Habakkuk 3 resembles songs in Exodus 15, Deuteronomy 32 and 33, Judges 5 and 2 Samuel 22 in its archaic linguistic formations and vocabulary stock, victory hymn form, and appearance outside of the Psalter.
		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'.

	HABAKKUK in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
		Habakkuk (chabhaqquq) means "embrace," or "ardent embrace." #Some of the ancient rabbis, connecting the name with 2 Ki 4:16, "Thou shalt embrace a son," imagined that the prophet was the son of the Shunammite woman.
		A very interesting story is found in Bel and the Dragon (33-39), according to which Habakkuk, while on his way to the field with a bowl of pottage, was taken by an angel, carried to Babylon and placed in the lions den, where Daniel ate the pottage, when Habakkuk was returned to his own place.
		Habakkuk places chief emphasis upon the expressions of faith, and he does so rightly; but in doing this he also calls attention, by implication at least, to the motive power behind the external manifestations.

	Habakkuk (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		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 had experienced a personal revival, and was perplexed on why the rest of his generation was so wicked and it seemed God was not doing anything about it.

		Habakkuk knew that difficult times were coming to the people of Judah, and their only resource was to trust God’s Word and rest in His will.

		His translation is based in a thorough treatment of Habakkuk's linguistic and literary features in conversation with its presumed historical setting and its various textual traditions.
		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.
		Habakkuk's question is pertinent in a context that knows of no Babylonian exile and that presumes Judean righteousness before G-d.
