1. The name Habakkuk in Hebrew means "embracing" or "clinging to," signifying that we need to seek God by embracing Him or clinging to Him.
2. The subject of Habakkuk's ministry is the righteous judgement of God first on Israel by the Chaldeans and then on the Chaldeans by the nations.
3. The central thought of Habakkuk is this: the righteous God will judge both the evil Israel and the violent Chaldeans, and only the righteous one shall live by his faith, that all the earth may know the glory of Jehovah and be silent before Jehovah, who is in His holy temple, and that His seeker may sing to Him in prayer, in lauding, and in trusting in Him.
4. The unique way for sinners to obtain God's eternal salvation is to believe in God's embodiment, Christ, that they may become righteous and be justified to have life and live.
Life experience/Application:
1. God saves us by coming to us. In order to be saved by God, we must be embraced by God and we must cling to Him.
