Acts 13:41

Verse 41

The work in Habakkuk refers to God’s judgment in bringing upon Israel an invasion by the Chaldeans. It here, perhaps, dimly foreshadows the overthrow of the State by the Romans.

Perish The original word signifies to disappear from recognised existence, to perish.

Though a man Authorized to reveal the truth.

Declare it Make clear and announce it.
