From the study on the Book of Habakkuk (חֲבַקּוּק), chapter 2:5–8, Brother Gideon Levytam continues to draw our attention to the powerful prophetic warning concerning the character of the Babylonian nation. In their greed, oppression, and pursuit of unjust gain, the Babylonians would show no mercy to any people. Yet, they were permitted by God to come as a means of disciplining His people, Israel. Nevertheless, Habakkuk is assured that Babylon, though used for a time, would not go unpunished. Because they plundered many nations, shed innocent blood, and brought destruction upon cities and lands, they themselves would, in due time, be plundered by other nations under the righteous judgment of God.
