Sermon Bible Commentary - Habakkuk 2:3

Habakkuk 2:3 The word "wait" is the one word which the Divine wisdom often seems to utter, in rebuke of human impatience. God is never in haste. In Holy Scripture men are often counselled to wait; to wait upon God, to wait for God; language which supposes delay and the need of patience. I. (1) The history of the earth is illustrative of the principle now suggested. (2) There is something in the movement of the seasons tending to remind us of this great law. (3) There is something in the history... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Habakkuk 2:3-4

Habakkuk 2:3-4 A large space of the Church's history, and of every believer's experience, is occupied by waiting. The whole of the Old Testament was a waiting for one dispensation. The whole of the New is waiting for another. David speaks of his waiting for God more than twenty-five times. Isaiah is full of the same thought. And every child of God could have much to tell of it. The reason is evident. It exercises faith. It humbles the soul. It enhances the blessing. It glorifies God. Therefore... read more

DISCOURSE: 1222OUR DUTY IN REFERENCE TO THE PROMISESHabakkuk 2:3. 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.AS there is no one so secure, but he may fall, so there is no one in so low and afflicted a condition, but God may have mercy in reserve for him. It has pleased God on many occasions to suffer his people to be reduced to the very last extremity before he interposed for... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Habakkuk 2:3

appointed time To the watching prophet comes the response of the "vision" Habakkuk 2:2-20). Three elements are to be distinguished: (1) The moral judgment of Jehovah upon the evils practised by dispersed Israel (Hab 5-13,15-19). (2) The future purpose of God that, practised by dispersed Israel (Habakkuk 2:5-13; Habakkuk 2:15-19). (2) The future purpose of God that, "the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea" (Habakkuk 2:14). That this... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Habakkuk 2:1-20

Shall we turn at this time to the book of Habakkuk.Very little is known concerning the personal background of Habakkuk. Very little, nothing is known. We don't know really anything about his background. There are indications from the book itself that he was of a priestly family, perhaps one of the priests in Israel. He addresses the last chapter, which is a psalm, he addresses it to, "the chief singer on my stringed instrument." And that was usually the place of the priests who were, many of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Habakkuk 2:1-20

Habakkuk 2:1 . I will stand upon my watch. The ancient nations often had no great confidence in what is now called, The faith of treaties. The Israelites kept a watchman on the tower of Jezreel; others had towers, round towers, as is mostly their structure. Hence the gloss of certain rabbins, I will confine myself within a circle. I will not stir, nor be absent from my station. When the Roman general, Popilus, had his first interview with Antiochus, he drew a circle, and said to the king,... read more

Habakkuk 2:1I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower.Awaiting the Lord’s messageNothing definite is known of this man Habakkuk. In the text we see him preparing himself for his holy task--ascending his tower, that he may see; secluding himself, that he may hear; making his bosom bare, that he may feel the message of the Unseen.I. The secret of life is to realise the unseen. To this man the world is full of an unseen, majestic presence. The very air he breathes throbs with the pulse... read more

Habakkuk 2:2Write the vision, and make it plain.Teaching must be plainThink of that railway excursion train as it hurries onwards with impetuous speed! A vast crowd is collected there, and how various and complicated are the interests of each! A rapid impulse bears forward the whole; that impulse resides in every member of the group; one single bystander directs and controls it all. In an unexpected moment a shock, as of a thunderbolt, crushes them together; in the twinkling of an eye the... read more

Habakkuk 2:3For the vision is yet for an appointed time.VisionsHe whom men style a visionary has for the most part little or no honour among them. But no one can help having visions unless he be devoid of imagination. A vision is an inward view, an image, or series of images, broader, larger, grander, deeper than aught that the bodily eye can see; it is evoked by some outward sign, on which a spiritual force acts. Visions may come from God; they may bring men near to God. There are day visions.... read more
