Habakkuk Chapter 3 Part 2

Baruch Korman • Habakkuk 3:7–19

Last week, we began Chapter Three of the prophecy of Habakkuk. And we saw that this entire third chapter is a prayer by the prophet, we saw that that there is a reason to rejoice that God is going to bring encouragement and comfort, he is going to bring restoration. But in this second half of the prayer, and by the way, from a language standpoint, when we look at the text, we find some difficult words. Now, many times when you read a translation, the translators have made it easier to understand. But when you wrestle with the original language, these help this interpretation. This summarizing and clarifying is not there. And therefore, indeed, this latter half of chapter three is a difficult passage. And perhaps it might help that we look at it and summarize what we're going to be studying. So when we look at the specifics, it might be somewhat easier for us to understand. Now, what the passage is saying is this, that God will use difficult circumstances to work out good to bring about a change. And as we talked about last week, to set things in order.
