This is the first book of the prophets that I am studying.  It is not easy so I am grateful for all of your input and to learn with all of you.  I can't help but think each time I am reading this book that there are so many serious comparisons to what is going on in our own country right now.  I am learning that our spiritual eyes need to be opened and our hearts prepared every day for his purposes.  I believe the status of our economy right now has good purpose in bringing our nation back to His evident truths and our priorities must be aligned with His and not of waste.

I wish I understood the history of this book better.  Where is the modern day Babylonia?  Honestly, I have been reading Genesis through Joshua right now and have not read anything about Babylonia yet and do not know much about it.  Was Habakkuk an Israelite?
