ハバクク書 2:1-3 JC

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Habakkuk 2:1-4

In this first division of the Book we have the prophet's statement of the problems which vexed his soul. The first was the apparent indifference of Jehovah both to his prayer and to the condition of prevailing evil. To this Jehovah replied that He was at work, but that the prophet would not believe if he were told. He then proceeded to declare explicitly that His method was that of raising the Chaldeans as a scourge against His people. This answer of Jehovah, while strengthening the faith of... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Habakkuk 2:1

ON THE WATCH-TOWER‘I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what He will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.’ Habakkuk 2:1 I. The prophet Habakkuk defines for us what the position of that man’s mind must be who would catch the deep, still messages of which everything is full—what it is to be waiting for heavenly signs.—(1) There must be an individuality and solitude; you must be, and feel, alone with God. (2) You must be found in your... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Habakkuk 2:3

‘THE VISION IS FOR AN APPOINTED TIME’‘For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.’ Habakkuk 2:3 I. The whole of the Old Testament was a ‘waiting’ for our dispensation.—The whole of the New is ‘waiting’ for another.The Flood, the promised son to Abraham, the Exodus, the Law, the Holy Land, the return from captivity, the Messiah, the Holy Ghost, the destruction of Jerusalem,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Habakkuk 2:1-5

Habakkuk Looks Anxiously For The Answer To His Questions (Habakkuk 2:1-5 ) Habakkuk 2:1 ‘I will stand on my watch, And settle myself on the tower, And look out to see what he will say to me, And what I will answer, to do with my complaint.’ Having questioned first why God has not dealt with His people’s sinfulness, and then questioned God’s method of dealing with that sinfulness on the grounds of the unworthiness of the instruments being used, he now declares that he will be on watch for... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Habakkuk 2:1-4

Habakkuk 2:1-Numbers : . The Oracle from Yahweh.— Unable to explain the mystery, the prophet stations himself on his watch-tower, and looks for the revelation of God’ s purpose. Soon the oracle comes, and he is asked to write it on tablets plainly, that one may read it running: “ Behold, the soul of the wicked shall faint in him, but the righteous shall live by his faithfulness (his loyalty to God and His promises).” Habakkuk 2:1 . I will stand, etc.: an imaginative representation of the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Habakkuk 2:1

I will stand: the first chapter ended with that difficult and perplexed question, why God suffers the wicked So long to prosper in their oppressions of the righteous? This chapter represents the prophet waiting and musing, studying with himself what account he might give to himself, and waiting what account God would give him of it. He will stand in a posture of meditating, observing, and waiting. Upon my watch: possibly the prophet may have respect to the manner of the Jews, who in their... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Habakkuk 2:2

And the Lord, on whom he waited, and who ruleth all affairs, answered me; did hear my desire, and gave direction what I should do. Write; what is only spoken is soon forgot, but what is written is more lasting, therefore write thou the vision showed to thee. The vision; the things thou seest, or which thou shalt see. Make it plain; make the writing very plain, engrave it, as was their manner, upon tables; what was of public concern, and therefore to be published, was anciently written or... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Habakkuk 2:3

For; the reason why it must be written is because it should not be forgotten, whilst the appointed time is somewhat afar off; write it that it may be preserved in memory. The vision; the accomplishment of the things showed unto thee, what thou seest is coming, and what thou foretellest to them, will take effect. For an appointed time; determined and fixed with God, though unknown to men. At the end; when the period appointed of God shall come, then, and not till then, it will be accomplished.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Habakkuk 2:1

Habakkuk 2:1 I. The prophet Habakkuk defines for us what the position of that man's mind must be, who would catch the deep, still messages of which everything is full what it is to be waiting for heavenly signs. (1) There must be an individuality and solitude; you must be, and feel, alone with God. (2) You must be found in your own proper duty, whatever it be, and in that duty faithful. (3) You must carry on your watch at a high level of thought. (4) In the watch, and on the tower, you must be... read more
