Today we continued our study of Minor Prophets - specifically, we are studying Habakkuk - Chapter 3.
Today, we concluded our studies of Habakkuk 2 and started our study of Habakkuk chapter 3.
Habakkuk 3:2
- “…O Yahweh, revive Thy Work in the midst of the years, in the midst of
the years make known; in Wrath remember mercy.”
· “In Wrath, remember Mercy” - The Wrath of Yahweh is a term for
the visitation of the Judgment for Eternal Death. This is a reference to
Calvary – and Yahshua’s Death
o Yahshua,
on Calvary, took the Wrath upon Himself, taking the Second Death, in our place.
o On
the Cross, Righteousness and Mercy kissed
§ Psalm_85:10
“Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each
other.”
§
· “revive Thy Work in the midst of the
years”
o
Yahweh’s
people are not to be in the dark regarding the timing of Prophetic
fulfillments. Prophecies are fulfilled on the Feast Days – only those in
darkness don’t know this timing… 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
In 2 Peter 3:8, Yahweh tells us that a day is as a thousand years.
Habakkuk
3:3-4 “God
came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran.
Selah. His Glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His
praise. And His Brightness was as the Light; He had Horns coming
out of His Hand: and there was the hiding of His Power.”
· “Remember the Alamo!” – A battle
cry in the Texas struggle for independence from Mexico… The Texan defenders in the fort Alamo fought
to the death (Davy Crocket died there).
· For these terms to be
understood, one needs to know the historical context. That’s how it is for the
Habakkuk reference to Teman and Paran.
Amos
1:12 “But I
will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
The first
part of Moses’ final blessing over Israel – Deuteronomy 33:2-4:
“And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto
them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of
saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. Yea, he
loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at
thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. Moses commanded us
a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.”
· God came from Teman – Teman is a reference to Edom’s
strength as an oppressor, and Yahweh’s Judgment of it…
o
Edom
is the name given to Esau after the pottage incident.
o
Esau
vs Jacob… Esau is left out of the
birthright blessing. Jacob receives the birthright blessing… resulting in Salvation (Jacob’s sons are the
heads of the 12 tribes of Israel, whose names are on the Gates of the New
Jerusalem… They sit on 12 of the thrones
of the 24 elders…)
o
Edom
represents everyone who will be shut out of Heaven, as it was with Esau, aka
Edom, it will be their choice (they will choose the flesh over the eternal).
o
Jacob
represents everyone who is saved.
o
Edom
vs Jacob is not a national thing… its everyone…
o
Teman
is the oppressive strength of the shut out ones – who persecute Jacob. Yahweh Judges
Teman. This is so epic of a prophecy that it was a proverb for Habakkuk.
o
God
came from Teman means that Yahweh will judge the oppressors – the wicked – the lost.
It’s a message of deliverance for the saved.
The worksheet is not posted, as we will complete all of the studies of Habakkuk on this worksheet set, and then I will post the completed worksheet. There are three chapters of Habakkuk.
