How preachers through history handled this text
26 public-domain excerpts on Habakkuk 3, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“When we see a day of trouble approach, it concerns us to prepare. A good hope through grace is founded in holy fear. The prophet looked back upon the experiences of the church in former ages, and observed what great things God had done for them, and so was not only recovered, but filled with holy joy. He resolved to delight and triumph in the Lord; for when all is gone, his God is not gone. Destroy the vines and the fig-trees, and you make all the mirth of a carnal heart to cease. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Habakkuk 3:16–30 (Public Domain)
