Episode notes
Prophet As Intercessor
- Habakkuk prays to God on behalf of the people, reversing the usual prophet role.
- This shows prophets can mediate both from God to people and from people to God.
God's 'No' Is An Answer
- Habakkuk forgets that God's 'no' can be an answer to prayer and mistakes delay for absence.
- God responds with perspective, a vision, and the principle that 'the righteous shall live by his faith.'
Read Verses In Context
- Context changes how we read familiar verses; Habakkuk 1:5 warns of God raising Babylon, not a comforting promise.
- Verses can be misused when removed from their historical and narrative context.
