The Bible Explained: Habakkuk

In the book of Habakkuk God’s prophet asks why God tolerates evil and why he seems slow in punishing injustice. God responds that he has a plan to judge all evil thoroughly and finally. But God also says that Habakkuk must learn to endure his current sufferings and trust his God. 

Ultimately, God’s answer to the problem of evil begins to be answered in the death of Jesus. In Jesus God endured suffering, trusted his God, and was ultimately raised from the dead. Habakkuk shows us that because of Jesus we know that God will judge evil and rescue his people.

This Bible study devotional covers Habakkuk 1-2. In this passage, the prophet Habakkuk asks God two questions. Why doesn’t God stop the evil he sees in Israel? How can God use evil to judge evil if he is good?

As always, we are committed to showing you how to see the good news of the Gospel in every passage of Scripture. In Habakkuk 1-2 we see that Jesus will use the evil of politicians and empires to judge evil, in himself, until there will be no evil left to judge.

Habakkuk 1-2

This Bible study devotional covers Habakkuk 3. In this passage, the prophet Habakkuk patiently waits for Israel’s exile but also for a day of final justice against Israel’s enemies. 

As always, we are committed to showing you how to see the good news of the Gospel in every passage of Scripture. In Habakkuk 3 we see that like God’s people, Jesus was buried in exile. But for God’s people, Jesus rose from the dead, proving the weapon of all the world’s Pharaohs and empires are useless against his plans to save.
