Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Habakkuk 2:3

"For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hasteth toward the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.""For the appointed time ..." This terminology indicates that the prophecy here has references to, "the last times (Daniel 8:17,19; 11:35), the Messianic times, in which the judgment would fall upon the power of the world."[5] This rather surprising truth is most significant, because the conditions and sins immediately... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Habakkuk 2:4

"Behold his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous shall live by his faith."Designated by many commentators as, "one of the profoundest utterance of the O.T.,"[8] this passage is quite generally grossly misunderstood. There is no reference whatever here to the inward, subjective faith of believers. As Moffatt translated the passage, "The good man lives as he is faithful." "Faith" in the biblical sense means faithfulness, integrity, perseverance, and fidelity. "Here... read more

Habakkuk 2:4. Behold, his soul, &c.— Behold, if any one draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him, &c. Houbigant however renders it, But if any one shall withdraw himself, his soul shall not overcome: but he who shall be constant [or firm in his reliance] shall live by his faith. It is the same admonition which we frequently read in Jeremiah, that if any one upon the taking of Jerusalem should withdraw himself and flee into Egypt, to escape the Chaldeans, it should not turn out... read more

Though the time appointed by God for the fulfilment be yet future, it should be enough for your faith that God hath spoken it (Daniel 11:35- :). at the end it shall speak—MAURER translates, "it pants for the end."

4. his soul which is lifted up—the Chaldean's [MAURER]. The unbelieving Jew's [HENDERSON]. is not upright in him—that is, is not accounted upright in God's sight; in antithesis to "shall live." So Hebrews 10:38, which with inspired authority applies the general sense to the particular case which Paul had in view, "If any man draw back (one result of being 'lifted up' with overweening arrogancy), my soul shall have no pleasure in him." the just shall live by his faith—the Jewish nation, as... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Habakkuk 2:3

The vision Habakkuk was about to receive concerned events to take place in the future. Though it was a prophecy that would not come to pass immediately, it would materialize eventually. Habakkuk was to wait for its fulfillment because it would indeed come at the Lord’s appointed time.The writer of the Book of Hebrews quoted this verse (Hebrews 10:37). He used it to encourage his readers to persevere in their commitment to Jesus Christ since what God has predicted will eventually come to pass,... read more
