How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

Is life difficult?

Do you have questions?

God hasn't answered yet? Well, if so, our study on Through the Bible has some timely encouragement for you. I'm Steve Schwetz, inviting you aboard what our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, called the Bible Bus. It's a five-year journey through the entire Word of God from Genesis to Revelation. And we continue our travels through the Old Testament

book of Habakkuk. For two chapters, we followed this faithful yet burdened prophet as he pours out

his questions before God and receives no clear answer. But in chapter three, everything changes.

Habakkuk stops wrestling and begins worshiping. He closes his book with a song of praise to the

Lord. What happened? How did he get there? Well, that's what we're going to find out next. Before we

begin, though, here's a bit more of Dr. McGee's continuing introduction about the covenant God made

with Abraham. We began last time, you will recall, talking about the covenants that God made.

He had certain covenants with the human race at the very beginning.

And then we come to the covenants that began with the Abrahamic covenant that God made

with Abraham, an unconditional covenant, that would be an eternal covenant.

And it's one of the most important parts of the word of God, that covenant.

The whole purpose of God is wrapped up in that because you see God apparently no way of saving the human race. He'd

had to bring a judgment upon Adam and Eve. That was a judgment of the entire race and a judgment

of the entire race at the flood and also at the Tower of Babel. It would ultimately be concluded by God destroying the entire human family.

And he wanted to salvage as many as he could. He took a man aside and that man's Abraham.

And the covenant God made with him is an eternal covenant. Now, the great difficulty that a great

many have, and especially our

all millennial brethren, is that they go back always to the Mosaic covenant that God made,

and that was a temporary covenant. And it was, and we're going to be looking at that.
