Habakkuk, as some say, that he was one of the minor prophets, but we should not say that he was a less important prophet than Jeremiah for example, but that he wrote less, since this book consists of three chapters, but if we pay attention to all the book we will realize that it is bigger than we think.
Not much is known about the prophet Habakkuk, since there is no other book in the Bible that tells us about him. Habakkuk was noted for prophesying the destruction of Judah and the arrival of the Babylonian army over that city. In this book we will also see the prophet ask difficult questions to God and God answers them.
Habakkuk’s book begins directly with a complaint from the prophet, asking: How long, oh Lord, will I cry, and you will not hear; And I will give voices to you because of the violence, and you will not save? Undoubtedly with this question we realize that the nation of Judah was being corrupted and Habakkuk was afflicted and tired of seeing such corruption, even later we will see how he tells us about a revival he would like to see again, and that is why some they think that Habakkuk lived in the just reign of King Josiah (640 to 609 BC) and then this prophecy came after Josiah’s reign.
