Habakkuk was a prophet from the same time period as the prophet Jeremiah. Previously we read the book of Jeremiah, which was about how Babylon destroyed the kingdom of Judah. The people of Judah were taken to Babylon as captives. But God promised a time of restoration; 70 years later they would return to the land of Israel. Habakkuk accepted God’s promise and sought his guidance. The book opens in chapter 1 verse 1 by giving Habakkuk the title of prophet.

Today’s theme is the water of life, which flows from the sanctuary. In this passage Ezekiel has a vision of water flowing from the threshold of the temple of God.
