{{otheruses}}{{Infobox_Contents |topic_name = Habakkuk |subtopics = [[Book of Habakkuk]]* [[Shrine of Habakkuk]] |opinion_pieces = {{short_opinions}} * {{ebd}} |}} Habakkuk was a [[prophet]] of the [[Old Testament]]. The name may mean "embrace". He was the eighth of the twelve minor prophets and the author of the [[BibleBook of Habakkuk]]. Very little is known about Habakkuk's life. All that we know is inferred from the text of his book, Englishwhich consists of five oracles about the Chaldeans and a song of praise to [[God]]. Since the Chaldean rise to power is dated [[612 BC]], King Jameswe can assume that he was active about that time, making him an early contemporary of [[Jeremiah]] and [[Zephaniah]]. ===[[Book of Habakkuk]]=== ===[[Shrine of Habakkuk]]===[[Image:Habagoogh.jpg|thumb|The Shrine of Habakkuk]] There is a mausoleum in the city of [[Toyserkan]] in western [[Iran]] which is believed to be the mausoleum of Habakkukthe Prophet. ==Quotes== ==Links==* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habakkuk Wikipedia - Habakkuk] {{returnto}} [[Christianity]] -> [[Bible]] -> [[Characters of the Bible]]
