The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. Habakkuk 1:1
The only controversy about the little book of Habakkuk is how to pronounce the prophet’s name. As we read what this man received from God to pass on to the people, we find Habakkuk in full agreement with all of the other prophets in our Bible. As he sees the rising power of the Babylonians, and as he sees the degrading sinful lives of those in the nation of Judah, Habakkuk tells a familiar story of coming judgment and of eventual restoration. His prophecy is proof of the consistent message of the Scriptures.
The last prophet in our Bibles would be the apostle John, with his writing of the book of the Revelation. And John carefully records at the end of his account – actually the final words to be included in the canon of Scripture – a dire warning for any who would add to or take away from the Word of God. Despite that warning, wicked men and women have come and gone with what they claimed were fresh revelations to add to or replace what God has already given. They have all been liars. Their judgement is sure. The devil has had great success with some of these lies, deceiving many millions astray from the truth. But the Word of God stands true and consistent.
Over a period of 1500 years and from the pens of some 40 human writers who recorded what the Holy Spirit revealed to them, we find a harmony that is beyond anything that any humans or group of humans could possibly achieve. Our Bible has tens of thousands of cross references from one book to another and from one testament to another, and every single one of them are in perfect harmony. This miraculous consistency is all the proof we need to trust this Holy Book and its message.
