Summary
So if you want a key word with regard to Habakkuk, a key word with regard to Joel, maybe a repent, a key word with regard to Habakkuk could very well be this dialogue, just dialogue because there is this dialogue between the prophet and God. So as you're reading through the prophets and you're getting your bearings of where they're falling here with these three dates, look for those four prophetic messages in both the major and the minor prophets, exposing sinful practices, calling people back to moral, civil, and ceremonial law, warning of judgment and anticipating the coming of the Messiah. And what we're going to see in the New Testament is we're going to see the flowers, but we're going to see them in bloom. So there was the prophetic word that God had given through Isaiah and remember he's starting in 740 BC and he's going to be talking about events that then for Judah come much later, 586 BC to be exact. I am the Lord who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who by myself spread out the earth, who frustrates the omens of liars and make fools of diviners, who turns back the wise and makes their knowledge foolish, who confirms the word of his servant and fulfills the prediction of his messengers, who says of Jerusalem, it shall be inhabited and of the cities of Judah, they shall be rebuilt and I will raise up their ruins, who says to the deep, be dry, I will dry up your rivers, who says of Cyrus, he is my shepherd and he shall carry out all my purpose, who says of Jerusalem, it shall be rebuilt and of the temple your foundation shall be laid. I am sending you to them and you shall say to them, thus says the Lord God, whether they hear or refuse to hear for their rebellious house, they shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
