#redirect [[Image:habbakuk.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Holy Prophet Habakkuk]]Sfântul '''Proroc Avacum ''', the eighth of the [[Proroc|Doisprezece Profeţi Mici]], was descended from the Tribe of Simeon, and he prophesied around 650 B.C. The Prophet Avacum foresaw the destruction of the [[Jerusalem Temple]], the [[Babylonian Captivity]] and the later return of the captives to their native land. During the war with the Babylonians the [[prophet]] withdrew to Arabia, where the following miracle occurred. When he was bringing dinner to the reapers, he met an [[înger]] al Domnului, and instantly by the strength of his spirit he was transported to Babylon, where at the time the [[Daniel|Prorocul Daniel]] was languishing in prison. The food intended for the reapers assuaged the hunger of the exhausted Prophet Daniel (Dan. 14:33-37). After the end of the war with the Babylonians, the Prophet Avacum returned to his homeland and died at a great old age. His relics were found at the time of Emperor [[Theodosius the Great]], together with the relics of the [[Miheia|Prorocul Miheia]] (PetrovAugust 14). The Fourth Ode of the [[Psaltirea]] ("O Lord, I have heard thy report, and was afraid...") is based on Habakkuk 3:2-19. His feast day is on [[2 decembrie]]. ==Surse==*[http://www.oca.org/FSlives.asp Lives of Saints, December 2.] ==Legături externe==*en:[http://www.comeandseeicons.com/groups/otp02.htm Icon and Troparion of Prophet Habakkuk] [[Category:Sfinţi]][[Category:Sfinţi biblici]] [[Category:Proroci]] [[en:Habakkuk]]
