God calls the Prophet

Preaching from Habakkuk chapter 1, Dale Moore examines God's answer to the prophet as He raises up the Chaldeans to judge a backslidden Israel that had drifted so far the Lord called them heathen. He warns against abusing Christian liberty, against pride that must be humbled, and against growing stagnant instead of maturing in the faith. Drawing connections to Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar is shown as a type of the Antichrist, and the message closes by urging believers to treasure the Word of God even when it brings rebuke.
“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you. For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs. They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat. They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand. And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it. …”
