 Book of Habakkuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The book of Habakkuk is a book of the Bible Old Testament and stands eighth in a section known as the 12 Minor Prophets in the Masoretic and Greek texts.
The major theme of Habakkuk is trying to grow from a faith of perplexity and doubt to the height of absolute trust in God.
In the superscription of the Old Greek version Habakkuk is called the son of Joshua of the tribe of Levi.

This book however, affirms that God is God.
Author: Habakkuk 1:1 identifies the Book of Habakkuk as an oracle from the Prophet Habakkuk.
Then Habakkuk writes a prayer that is a psalm because it is set to music that expresses his strong faith in God, even through these trials (Habakkuk 3:1-19).

 Habakkuk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Habakkuk or Havakuk (חֲבַקּוּק, Standard Hebrew Ḥavaqqūq, Tiberian Hebrew Ḥăḇaqqûq) was a prophet in the Bible Old Testament and Jewish Tanakh.
Contemporary scholars point out, however, that this chapter is missing from the Dead Sea Scrolls and has some similarities with texts found in the Book of Daniel.
Jewish sources, however, do not group him with those two prophets, who are often placed together, so it is possible that he was slightly earlier than them.

The book concludes with a prayer or psalm by the prophet.
The book is about a prophet who asks "how long" God will you let the wicked oppress the righteous and who learns that the righteous live by faith.
The book contains many noteworthy verses, but its chief message is patience and the assurance that "the righteous shall live by his faith" (2:4).

 What About Jesus?
Habakkuk's third and last chapter is his prayer to God.
From his book we can gather that he wrote to the people of Judah about the time that the Babylonians were beginning to be a threat to Judah (cf.1:6).
We might call Habakkuk, "the prophet who questions God." In 1:2-4 Habakkuk questions how God can see the wickedness of Judah and seemingly not do anything about it.

 Habakkuk (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
Habakkuk (chabhaqquq) means "embrace," or "ardent embrace." Some of the ancient rabbis, connecting the name with II Kings 4:16, "Thou shalt embrace a son," imagined that the prophet was the son of the Shunammite woman.
Habakkuk has been called the prophet of faith.
Though Habakkuk, like the other prophets, believes in a special Divine Providence over Israel, he is equally convinced that Yahweh's rule embraces the whole earth; the destinies of all the nations are in His hand.

 Psalmody and Prophecy: Habakkuk 3 in Context
Hiebert suggested that Habakkuk 3 was an archaic hymn which was inserted as part of an apocalyptic reinterpretation of the book.
The effect is to characterize Habakkuk, the psalm's speaker (3.1), as a faithful and orthodox Yahwist, despite the complaints expressed earlier in the book (1.2-4, 12-17).
Habakkuk's psalm remains unique among inset hymns (and, in the case of the colophon, among the Psalms) for the technical nature of its markers, but this is much less true of the version excerpted for the LXX 'Odes'.

 I Hear, and Tremble
The book of Habakkuk says that Chaldea's defeat of Judah serves God's justice, and while that defeat itself seems unjust, God's ultimate destruction of Chaldea secures divine justice.
Finally, Habakkuk envisions God coming to save his people in a frightening theophany.
Habakkuk's hymn in chapter 3 celebrates Yahweh's violence and destruction.

 Francis I. Andersen, Habakkuk: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary
The book comprises two basic parts, Habakkuk's interchange with YHWH (Habakkuk 1-2) in which the prophet demands a response from G-d, and the Prayer-Hymn of Habakkuk (Habakkuk 3) in which the prophet relates his vision of YHWH's response.
It would seem instead that "the wicked/evil" throughout the book refer not to Judeans, but to the Babylonians from the outset; indeed, there is no signal within the book that the term shifts in its understanding of the identity of "the wicked" as many contend.
In the face of G-d's silence, Habakkuk survives and perseveres by his faith.

 Sermon: Habakkuk
That's what the Book of Revelation reveals, is that this is the kind of world that we live in and this is ultimately the answer the church holds on to until Jesus comes again.
It was about 600 years before Christ and Habakkuk looked around at the society around him and saw a nation that was supposed to be a religious nation dedicated to God and he saw all kinds of injustice in it.
So this response that Habakkuk makes to this good news, or bad news, or just news from God, whatever kind of label he emotionally wants to put on it, the first response is, he says, "I have heard that this is what you are like.

 Bible Survey: The Book of Habakkuk
The prophet Habakkuk, who was in Judaea, had made a stew; he broke bread into the bowl, and he was on the way to his field, carrying it to the reapers, when an angel of the Lord said to him, "Habakkuk, carry that meal you have to Babylon for Daniel, who is in the lion-pit."
There is one manuscript that says that Habakkuk was the son of Joshua, of the tribe of Levi.
There have been suggestions that Habakkuk was the son of the Shunammite woman of 2 Kings 4:16, or the watchman of Isaiah 21:6, all without any firm evidence of any kind.

His book is a mixture of the prophet's addresses to God in the peoples name, and to the people in God's name.

Habakkuk now understands and offers a prayer of praise because God is in control.
Now, in chapter three, we see him praising God and the last phrase of the book is “and makes me walk on my high places.” The book is Habakkuk’s steady progression upwards (spiritually) towards God.
In 13b Habakkuk knows God hates evil and is amazed that God would use a nation even more wicked than Judah to punish Judah.

 A commentary on the Old Testament Book of Habakkuk
It wasn’t that Habakkuk had sat down and dreamed the message up, neither that he’d consulted the former prophets, reworked their messages and come up with his own brand of ‘spirituality’, but that a coercion or pressure had come upon him that he was at pains to despatch to whomsoever he was directed.
But Habakkuk’s eyes are firmly on the men and women who profess a belief and commitment to God and who have distorted the way He intended them to live so that their society has degraded into a violent and aggressive place where, although there was law, it wasn’t able to be enforced.
Habakkuk, then, saw disharmony about him where men and women seemed to no longer wish to live in peace and rest but were filled with the commitment to contend and dispute a great amount of matters that outworked themselves into personal wars.

It probably comes from the verb qbj meaning "to fold one's hands" or "to embrace." Perhaps the significance is that Habakkuk embraced God and his people.
