From the study on the Book of Habakkuk (חֲבַקּ֖וּק), chapter 1:1, Brother Gideon Levytam introduces us to the prophecy of Habakkuk, a prophet with a heavy burden for his people, Judah. In his recorded prophecy, Habakkuk, the “embracer” of Israel, engages in a dialogue with God, expressing his deep concern over the violence and corruption prevailing among his brethren, the people of Judah, whom he loves so dearly. Despite his concerns, Habakkuk demonstrates trust in God, who promises to discipline His erring people, Israel, yet also assures them of a future day of national restoration through the coming of the promised Messiah. The Book of Habakkuk (חֲבַקּ֖וּק) emphasizes the importance of faith in God, even in the midst of trials and tribulations, as it is written: “The just shall live by his faith.” (Habakkuk 2:4)
