Sermons from September 2023

Sermon text: Habakkuk 2:6-11 As Habakkuk provides his original readers with a seven-decade peek into the future, to encourage them that their oppressors would ultimately be judged, the prophet breaks into a taunt-song containing five “woes.” We look into the first two of these, which teach us some important principles, also. 

Text: Habakkuk 2:4-5 There is an amazing correlation between “the proud one” that Habakkuk describes in the fourth verse of the second chapter of his prophecy and Belshazzar, who would fulfill the prophecy some seven decades later. This also correlates with Jeremiah’s prophecy for the length of time Judah would be in captivity to the Babylonians, as well as explaining the recording and waiting mentioned earlier in the chapter.
