Question: What is the main message of Habakkuk in the Bible?
Confidence in the Lord. This is the key theme of Habakkuk, and it is a universal need for God's people around the world and down through history. God can and must be trusted at all costs. This has been proven to us supremely in Christ. It is notable that there is much attack on God’s Word at the present time, and it has been increasing in volume over the last few years, particularly since the end of WW2!
The “modern critics” have shaken many people into disbelieving the Bible. They have reached a stage of acceptance with very slick and persuasive arguments, which are not easy to refute.
One has to ask oneself why they put so much time and effort into trying to convince everybody that they are right; after all, they have no proof to back up their claims!
The short answer is, that they need to acquire a following to achieve notoriety; and, the Bible makes clear that in the end days of this Age many such would appear on the world’s scene, to try to confuse and kill “faith in God and His Christ!”!
The type of person we are talking about, has always appeared in the world’s history (Biblical), and the time we are living in now shows that time for this Dispensation is running out; therefore Satan must muster his forces, demonic and human, to counter what will shortly be the events prophesied in the Bible, especially the Old Testament; which leads to the “Second Advent of Jesus Christ”!
Israel is the definitive “signpost” as to these events, and the current events regarding the Gaza war may well be the penultimate action to the appearance of the “Man of sin; the Anti-Christ”; and the building of the next Temple in Jerusalem (probably not the Ezekiel Temple)!
“The just shall live by Faith” (Hab. 2:4) & (2Tim.3:16–17).
