      The Babylonian Empire. The Babylonians are the invading nation that God uses to judge Judah.

    What was Habakkuk's second complaint?The Book of Habakkuk (Scoplin)

      Will God be silent while the wicked swallow up people more righteous than themselves?. While Habakkuk does not agree with the plans of the Lord he never loses faith in God. We see later in the book that his trust is still firmly planted in The Lord God of Judah.

    What was Habakkuk's first complaint to The Lord? He wanted to know...The Book of Habakkuk (Scoplin)

      How long the Lord would put up with the evil of Judah?. Habakkuk, although a citizen of Judah, is weary of Judah's sins and injustice. He would like for God to judge Judah's sin. **Remember that Israel and Judah are divided kingdoms at this point in History - sometime around 605 B.C.

    What form of profession (way of living) does God use as a metaphor to explain how Judah will be overtaken by the invaders?The Book of Habakkuk (Scoplin)

      Fishing - with nets and hooks. Being led into captivity is described in scripture as a line of people being led off to foreign lands with a hook in their mouths. The end of Chapter 1 tells of the invaders filling their nets, even dragnets, pulling Judah off with hooks.

    The third and final chapter ends with Habakkuk speaking to God again. What is Habakkuk doing this time?The Book of Habakkuk (Scoplin)

      He is praying. Habakkuk gives one of the most beautiful and powerful prayers in the Bible.

    How does God answer Habakkuk's second complaint?The Book of Habakkuk (Scoplin)

      Don't worry: Babylon will get what's coming in the end.. God tells Habakkuk that even though Babylon is worse than Judah He is only using them as a tool for punishment. God does not condone the Babylonians' actions. God tells Habakkuk, don't worry they are going to be judged too; even worse than you are. God doesn't mind when we have questions, he never tells us to take things like a man, or woman when we are hurting, and he never says that He doesn't have time for us.

    How did God say that Habakkuk would respond to His plan?The Book of Habakkuk (Scoplin)

      He would not believe even if he was told.. In fact, God knew Habakkuk would not believe because the Lord's coming judgement was so harsh. It was a punishment that would almost wipe out the Kingdom of Judah.

    Habakkuk tells us that God is in His Holy Temple and therefore the earth should do something. What is it we should do?The Book of Habakkuk (Scoplin)

      Be silent before him. What's there to say? Sometimes in the Bible, God ask his followers to shut their mouths and let God work.

    Habakkuk demonstrates great faith in God even though it is recorded that the prophet is scared to death ("decay crept into my bones"). Following that though he says something remarkable. He says, "Yet, I will wait patiently for the day of __________?The Book of Habakkuk (Scoplin)

      Calamity. With God you can wait patiently for the day of calamity. When hard times come the prophet is saying, it's okay if we are scared, or if we don't quite understand what God is doing. He is saying, I serve a God who is bigger than financial and economic failure (3:17), bigger than my fear (3:16), and he is my strength and my joy (3:18-19). God is bigger than any trial we face. That is a key message in Habakkuk.

    Habakkuk ask God to do something during his wrath against Judah. What does he ask God to do?The Book of Habakkuk (Scoplin)
