(1) The prophet.--This title (han-nabi) is applied only to Habakkuk, Haggai, and Zechariah. In the later historical books it is used to designate the members of those prophetical colleges which were founded by Samuel, and kept up, at all events, till the time of Elisha. It is uncertain whether in these three minor prophets it has a similar force, or merely, as in the Pentateuch, indicates a chosen minister whom God inspires to reveal His will. On the term burden, or sentence, see Isaiah 13:1. Verse 1. - § 1. The inscription of the book. The burden (see note on Nahum 1:1). The prophet (Habakkuk 3:1). This title, which is added in the inscriptions only to the names of Haggai and Zechariah, and cursorily to that of Jeremiah (46, 47, 50.), implies that he exercised the practical office of prophet, and was well known; and, as Pusey thinks, Habakkuk appended it here on account of the form in which his prophecy is cast, as being addressed almost entirely to God or the Chaldeans, not to his own people. Did see. In prophetic vision (see note on Amos 1:1). Habakkuk 1:1 is more than a title line; it is a compact theology of revelation. God takes the initiative (“This is”), delivers a weighty message (“the burden”), entrusts it to a named servant (“Habakkuk the prophet”), ensures it is received not invented (“received”), and conveys it with undeniable clarity (“in a vision”). From the first words, we are invited to handle God’s Word with reverence, to realize its relevance, and to prepare our hearts for the powerful truths that follow.Parallel Commentaries ...
