testimonies of Philippians 4:11-13 and
Habakkuk 3:17-19.
7. The word “salvation” is an important
Bible word. How would you de ne salvation
in the spiritual realm? Read Habakkuk
3:13,18, where the word appears three
times. The Hebrew is yesha, which is the
origin of the name Jesus. Read Matthew
1:21. Why is Jesus the true Saviour?

COMMENTARIES
Davidson, A. B. Habakkuk. Cambridge Bible
for Schools and Colleges.
Lloyd-Jones, D. Martin. From Fear to Faith.
Kerr, David W. “Habakkuk.” In The Wycliffe
Bible Commentary.
1. Most of the dates are from john C.
Whitcomb’s chart of kings and prophets. See the
Appendixes for the listing of all the kings of
judah.
2. An alternate reading of this phrase is,
“Thou that dwellest in the clefts of Sela” (ASV).
3. This is based on the view of an early date
of the book, discussed later in the chapter.
4. Read Hobart E. Freeman, An Introduction to
the Old Testament Prophets, pp. 140-41, for
reasons supporting this view. Many Bible
students prefer the fourth view, which places
Obadiah as the last of the minor prophets of
Judah and a contemporary of Jeremiah. Consult
various commentaries about this.
5. Clyde E. Harrington, “Edom,” in The
Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary, p. 234.
6. Often a prophet worded a prediction in the
past tense, to give the emphasis of sureness of
fulfillment.
7. R. A. Stewart, “Joel,” in The New Bible
Dictionary, p. 639.
8. Recall that Jeremiah was a priest when he
received the prophet’s call (Jer 1:1).
9. Refer to a conupentary for a discussion of
the di erent views on date. Among the authors
favoring the early date are Gleason L. Archer, A
Survey of Old Testament Introduction, pp. 292-95;
and J. T. Carson, “Joel,” in The New Bible
Commentary, pp. 690-91.
10. Joash is the shortened form of Jehoash.
Both names appear in the Bible, referring to the
same king.
11. This story of Joash and Jehoiada is
reported in 2 Kings 11-12. Read these chapters
to get a feel of the times in which Joel lived.
12. Freeman, p. 217.
13. Many Bible students see a main division
beginning at 4:1 instead of 3:1. Also, some see a
two-fold structure: Denunciation, chaps. 1-3;
Consolation, chaps. 4-7. This is similar to
Isaiah’s twofold makeup, and for this reason
Micah has been referred to as “Isaiah in
shorthand.”
14. The year of Nahum’s birth is unknown,
but he was probably younger than fty when he
began his prophetic ministry.
15. The verse 1:126 begins with the phrase,
“Though I have afflicted you.”
16. The Living Bible paraphrases the opening
lines of 2:1 in this way: “Nineveh, you are
nished! You are already surrounded by enemy
armies!”
17. Raymond Calkins, The Modern Message of
the Minor Prophets, p.86.
