Introduction to Habakkuk

O. Palmer Robertson put it this way, “In this hour of Israel’s greatest crisis, the prophet Habakkuk declares essentially a single message: the person of faith “… shall live” (Hab. 2:4)… he shall receive the blessings of the covenant, if only he will continue to believe no matter how bleak may appear the events of history. It is a message for the ages. If under these circumstances the covenant promises of God hold true to the one who believes, God’s work of redemption can never fail."
