It is the belief that the ruler of the nation is chosen by God, and as such he and God alone can judge the ruler's behavior.
Habakkuk is a book about waiting, closely aligned with the waiting spirit of Advent. Habakkuk is waiting for deliverance from the Babylonian Empire, and concerned that God will not bring such deliverance. In many ways, Habakkuk's concerns echo the concerns of the people that the promised hero, or Messiah, will not come. God's response to Habakkuk is that of hopeful waiting, and Habakkuk ends by praising God. The praise offered by Habakkuk is a testimony to how we live in Advent. Although we wait for the return of Jesus and get discouraged with how awful the world can get, nevertheless God is active and working and worthy of our praise. Hopefully that helps.
Habakkuk is found in the Old Testament. Habakkuk was a prophet of God and the message he preached is in the book that is named after him. Habakkuk was from the tribe of Levi and probably was a member of the Levitical temple choir.

". . .Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?" (Habakkuk 1:13 NIV)
Habakkuk 3:19 KJV here we read the prayer of Habakkuk in our text Habakkuk is reminded of Gods character and his covenant with his people although Gods judgment was sure Habakkuk was sure of Isreals relationship with God because of his promised covenant this brought joy to Habakkuk knowing that God would protect him as he kept Isreal in crossing the red sea not only would God protect him but would keep his feet during the judgment and even bring him through God can lift His people up above the judgment of the heathen and keep our feet from slipping just like the high mnt animals who depend on their footing for survival
Daniel ... "God is my judge." ...
What is faith? Why does God allow people to suffer? Why does God not punish the wicked immediately? About 605 B.C. God called a sensitive man to show His people God's purposes as the wicked Babylonians gained control of the world and made demands on Judah. Habakkuk used dialog with God and a hymn from the temple to show what faith is, why God would use such a wicked people as Babylon, and why God would let his people suffer. Habakkuk shows: a prophet can be perplexed at God's rule of history. God wants persistent commitment to and trust in him; and a psalm of confidence expresses faith in tumultuous times. Habakkuk is a call to faith for people who see no hope.
