Habakkuk 2 – Len Bilén's blog, a blog about faith, politics and the environment.

December 10, read the Bible in a year in PowerPoint; with comments.

Revelation 2:12-29 continues the message to the seven churches, church three and four: Pergamos, a church that looked good but compromised itself, and the church of Thyatira, a corrupted church, but with hope of repentance. These can be seen as seven historical churches; which they were, but also as seven types of churches as they exist today and throughout history. They can also be taken as seven states of the individual believer. Whichever way you take it, there is something in it for every believer, even today.

Habakkuk 1 begins with the prophet’s first complaint and the LORD’s reply. After that the prophet poured out his second complaint.

Habakkuk 2. The LORD answered the prophet to his second complaint. It contains this gem, just as valid today as it was then: “The just shall live by his faith“. On the other hand God promised more woes to the wicked.

December 14: Revelation 5, Habakkuk 2, Habakkuk 3 (click on the chapter to begin reading).

Revelation 5. Worship is continued in heaven and John saw a scroll, Nobody but the Lamb was worthy to take and open the scroll with seven seals. All present broke out in praise, singing a new song, saying, “Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood” and “Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.”

Habakkuk 2. The LORD answered the prophet to his second complaint. It contains this gem, just as valid today as it was then: “The just shall live by his faith“. On the other hand there was promised more woe to the wicked.
