What is your take on this verse in Habakkuk?

Question

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

Answer 1

Here is what I get out of this: Evil and injustice seem to have the upper hand in the world. Like Habakkuk, Christians often feel angry and discouraged as they see what goes on. Habakkuk complained vigorously to God about the situation. God's answer to Habakkuk is the same answer he would give to us, "Be patient! I will work out my plans in my perfect timing." It isn't easy to be patient, but it helps to remember that God hates sin even more than we do. Punishment of sin will certainly come. As God told Habakkuk, "Wait for it." To trust God fully means to trust him even when we don't understand why events occur as they do.

Answer 2

It is a prophetic verse in which the writer is telling the reader that the focus of the vision is the future, not the present (the time at which the writer wrote it). The time frame that this verse speaks of is an appointed time--a time designated for this event to occur. That appointed time is the end time, the last days.


The rest of the chapter lets you know the subject of this prophecy.

It is basically saying that judgment will come in the last days, in the end. Now, people are living as they want to live, seemingly as if they are not judged by God. But Habakkuk states that although his coming is not at that present time, and while it will seem like a long time, judgment will come. Judgment is the word of God, because Jesus said that the Judge will be the word of God. We will be judged by God's word. Jesus is God's word. So, this verse is saying that Jesus will come, although he tarries, he will come, he will not wait forever.

Answer 3

Bible scholars believe these are the last days. The "vision" is set for an appointed time, but we won't understand the "vision" until the appointed time because it tarries. This was written several thousand years ago when there was no such thing as electricty, computers, cars, airplanes, or any of todays modern marvels or weapons of war.

When John saw the horseman with a great sword, John was looking at a great weapon. The greatest weapon ever invented was the nuclear bomb. The terrorists will use this weapon shortly.

Rev.6:4And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Answer 4

Habbakuk is doing a typical "prophet thing" of giving himself leeway on when the prophecy will come to pass. He does so by having God tell him to be patient and that even if he doesn't see the fulfillment, it's delayed but coming. This tells the reader to be patient and even though the prophecy seems to be false, it's really true, but just tarrying. The check's in the mail. You have to be ambiguous in a country where they stone false prophets.

Answer 5

Habakkuk potential ‘to incorporate’. Habakkuk replaced right into a prophet to Judah. in this e book the ten tribes of Israel are approximately to be taken over by potential of the Assyrians, God is letting Judah recognize they are actually not getting of the hook the two. They’re going to be taken captive by potential of the king of Babylon. Habakkuk 2:a million (what does a watchman do? He watches for the perspective of the enemy. in this, on the time of it’s writing; its replaced into speaking approximately fake instructors of Gods word. utilized to in the present day, its speaking with regard to the comparable element yet in addition caution of the antichrist). Habakkuk 2:2 (to the watchman, you're making a demonstration, a large one and provide that caution to the persons so as that they might run while they see the antichrist coming and are not deceived by potential of his lies and tempt you faraway from doing Gods artwork). Don’t be caught in a internet like a fish. financial disaster a million verses 15,sixteen.

Habakkuk 2:4 (they believe no longer and stay no longer, they believe and stay. people who believe interior the salvation of Christ and Aren’t caught interior the snares of devil/Lucifer/antichrist. people who've the seal of God. people who recognize the antichrist comes first). do no longer lose your faith!

Answer 6

Appointed time=now or last days
Though it tarry-2000 years

Answer 7

This verse lets us know that what God has foretold about the end of wickedness will without fail come true. Perhaps from our vantage it will seem to delay. But it will be right on time - that is the appointed time God has already chosen in advance.

Answer 8

In context with the previous verse; v 2, write the vision out plainly (who, what, when, where, why, how); v 3 it will happen just wait for it to occur. (i.e. do not expect it to happen the moment one finishes writing the vision).

Answer 9

I believe this is in the middle of a passage that will be obscure until the time of the end. It is about the anti-christ who will buy up debts, possibly, which creditors will mock? We shall see.

Answer 10

The end time is coming. thought it seems like it is taking forever, it is well on its way and can be here before you know it. So watch and wait becuase it will happen.
