Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was Habakkuk's first complaint to The Lord? He wanted to know...

Answer: 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.

2. Which of the following were not sins of Judah that Habakkuk declared before the Lord?

Answer: The people were eating meat sacrificed to idols

Though several times in scripture we see that eating meat sacrificed to idols was an area of concern, it is not an issue listed by the prophet.

3. How did God say that Habakkuk would respond to His plan?

Answer: 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.

4. Which of the following is NOT a description of the judgement the Lord had given to Habakkuk?

Answer: The invaders served a god named Dagon.

1 Samuel 5 tells us that Dagon was a Philistine god and not a god of the Babylonians.

5. What was Habakkuk's second complaint?

Answer: 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.

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

Answer: 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.

7. Who does God identify as the nation invading Judah? The King James Version identifies them as the Chaldeans.

Answer: The Babylonian Empire

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

8. How does God answer Habakkuk's second complaint?

Answer: 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.

9. Habakkuk tells us that God is in His Holy Temple and therefore the earth should do something. What is it we should do?

Answer: 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.

10. Which of the following is not one of the five "Woes" given to Babylon in chapter 2 of Habbakuk?

Answer: Woe to those who blaspheme the name of the Lord of Judah

The five woes can be found in Habakkuk 2: 6,9,12,15,19.

11. Habakkuk 2:4 says that the righteous shall live by his _________?

Answer: Faith

It is faith, plain and simple.

12. The third and final chapter ends with Habakkuk speaking to God again. What is Habakkuk doing this time?

Answer: He is praying

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

13. Habakkuk ask God to do something during his wrath against Judah. What does he ask God to do?

Answer: In wrath - remember mercy

Habakkuk ask God to remember his mercy when he brings his wrath upon Judah. Habakkuk politely reminds God of his mercy and basically says, be gentle where it is possible for you to do so during the coming judgement.

Answer: 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.

Answer: Deer

The King James Version says "Hind" and the NIV says "Deer" so both answers are acceptable.
