Part 1 - youtu.be/w5aOF5bdi9g
When God’s answers don’t make sense, how do we respond?
In this second session of our Habakkuk Bible Study, JM explores one of the most shocking moments in Scripture—when God tells Habakkuk that His plan to deal with Judah’s injustice involves raising up the ruthless Babylonians. What happens when God’s “solution” seems worse than the problem? This video dives deep into Habakkuk 1:5–11, unpacking the historical, linguistic, and theological layers of this prophetic dialogue.
We’ll look closely at the Hebrew text, the poetic structure, and the global context of the 7th century BC—when empires like Assyria, Egypt, and Babylon clashed and God’s people felt crushed in between. Through this study, you’ll see how biblical interpretation reveals not only God’s justice but also His mysterious sovereignty. Whether you’re studying alone or leading a small-group Bible study, this lesson will deepen your understanding of Old Testament prophecy, divine judgment, and the relevance of Habakkuk’s faith for Christians today.
At Disciple Dojo, our mission is to help followers of Jesus grow as thoughtful, well-trained disciples through in-depth biblical teaching, Christian education, and accessible theological resources. All our materials are freely available so that anyone, anywhere can strengthen their faith and understanding of Scripture.
