Pamphlet 1701 Habakkuk kc 8-2

God will turn the NWO against itself.

Habakkuk 3:6
He stood, and measured the earth: He beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: His ways are everlasting.
The Hebrew word translated "measured" is the prime root "muwd" and it means "to shake".

Also, "He beheld" means "He showed Himself".

In other words, God is soon going to "come forth" (reveal Himself) and shake and bring down the nations, the whole kittin caboodle known as New World Order, just as He did in the first earth age, i.e. just as the "perpetual hills" (ancient or primeval) did bow beneath His wrath, His fierce anger, as documented by Jeremiah the prophet.

Jeremiah 4:23
I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
In other words, the earth became "void and without form" (tohu va bohu, as in Gen. 1:2) when He BEHELD IT, i.e. showed forth His wrath, His fierce anger (vs. 26)!
[24]I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.

[25]I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.

[26] I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.

Peter also talks about this in his second epistle where he declares that God destroyed the first earth age and if you do not think He will do it again you are indeed ignorant and deceived.

Remember what Habakkuk just said, "His ways are everlasting"?

2 Peter 3:5
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

[6] Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

The "world that then was PERISHED"!

It was OVERTHROWN by God!

Not only that, there is second witness apart from God declaring it in His Word of that great destruction which is easily found in the fossil records of the dinosaurs and the creatures of old contained in the "bowed" and overturned layers of this earth.

Make no mistake about it, His power is awesome and when He comes forth "to Behold"... EVERY knee, EVERY nation, shall bow to the name of Jesus Christ (Philip. 2:10).

Nahum 1:5 "The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein."

Habakkuk continues his vision which is to "see ahead" to that great day of God's wrath!

Habakkuk 3:7
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
Cushan means "black" in Hebrew and Midian means "contention" or "strife".

What this verse says is that Habakkuk "saw" the pitiful condition of this earth at the time of the pouring out of God's wrath.

In other words, he saw the "dwellings of Blackness" in "wickedness and idolatry" and the "violence of the land of Strife" which did "rage" upon the seas (Luke 21:25).

[8] Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
Though we see what our Father did when He "Beheld the earth" at the close of the first earth age, we must understand that He is not angry with nature, i.e. His creation of the earth and the sea, and the rivers.

You see, the "power" of His wrath, i.e. the riding upon His "horses and His chariots" (symbolic of power), is part of the plan of His salvation and deliverance of His people!

As the next verse explains, He "emptied out His bow" because of His love for His children, because of the promises He made to the tribes of Israel, His people, that HE would deliver them!

So in the fire of His indignation He sends forth His "horses and chariots of fire" to bring forth the salvation of His people while at the same time bringing the nations to their knees!

[9] Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah.
Make the connection here!

Selah... connect the thought... of God's wrath to the deliverance of His people!

His sword is drawn and He shall go forth and fight for His people and deliver them, all 12 tribes, and give unto them the land of their fathers just as He promised (made an oath) to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

[9... cont.] Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.

[10] The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.

All the mountains (symbolic of nations) saw Him and they trembled!
[11] The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
Though you could draw reference to Josh. 10:12-13 when God lengthened "the day", the time of light for the victory of His anointed, and be quite accurate in doing so as per Rev. 7:1-4 if you have eyes to see, what this verse really says is that the natural light of the sun and the moon are paled into insignificance at His brilliance (much like Rev. 22:5), i.e. as the Light of His arrows, those two brilliant golden rays of light shoot forth from His hands (remember?), and His "glittering spear", the Word of God, goes forth as LIGHTING, even Rod of Lightning!
[12] Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
This is the fulfillment of the second part of Isa. 61:2 which Christ did not read when He stood up in the temple (Luke 4:20) and read from the 61st Psalm of the fulfillment of the announcement of His first advent.
Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

[2] To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,

Notice what Christ did next.

"And He closed the book, and He gave it again to the minister, and sat down.

And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him. [21] And He began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. (Luke 4:20-21)

That was the first advent when He came as the Lamb to be slain and open up salvation to ALL men and women.

The second part of Psalm 61:2 announces His second advent and is fulfilled when He returns as the King of kings and Lord of lords to subdue His enemies, to "thresh the heathen", and to rule all nations with a rod of iron.

[2... cont.]and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Thus shall the heathen receive their "threshing" when He executes JUSTICE and RIGHTEOUSNESS in all the earth!
Habakkuk 3:13
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.
He "Beheld the earth" for the salvation of His people which means He shall "wound the head out of the house of the wicked", i.e. He shall bruise (with His bruisers) and crush the "head of the serpent" (Gen. 3:15)!

Do you understand?

You see, to "discover the foundation" is simply a figure of speech meaning to "tear it down to the ground" or as we say "to level it to the ground"!

Did Christ not say in Luke 21:6 concerning the temple, "As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."?

Selah.

Now connect that thought of the final "overthrow", knowing the magnitude of HIS POWER, with "the enemies previous proud boasting and exaltation" and you won't think too much of the power of Satan and his punk angels!

You see, if you are of that Light, part of those two rays which shine forth His glittering sword and do His work, i.e. one of His right hand men or handmaidens, then He has given YOU POWER (His power from His mouth, His Word, which is His "Spear") over ALL THE ENEMY!

Luke 10:18
And He said unto them [His disciples, i.e. you], I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

[19] Behold, I give unto you powerto tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Are you going to do some treading?

Are "your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace (Ephes. 6:15)"?

Hey, first do as Ezekiel the Watchman did and eat the whole "roll" (i.e. His Holy Word, all of it!) thereby doing according to Paul's vivid analogy of a Christian knight who puts on the Whole Armor of God and becomes invulnerable to the "fiery darts" of that old "fire breathing" dragon, Satan! (Eph. 6:13-17)

Then pick up that "Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (vs. 17) "and show 'em what we've got and who is IN CHARGE!

Let's take His Truth and stomp all over those slimy little snakes and scorpions and go kick some Dragon Butt!

That's right, do as our King and Lord commands in Matthew 5:16 and "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

Your light is His truth!

In other words, show them the GLITTERING SWORD that they SEE the wonderful good "works of God" and say "My, my what a goody, goody two-shoes Christian you are?"

NO, that they may GLORIFY YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN when they FINALLY see the LIGHT!

We are just doing the work of His hands as HE shines forth those TWO RAYS of Light! Read on!

Habakkuk 3:14
Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
This is an incredible verse because what Habakkuk says is that God will turn their own "spears", the "staves" even of the NWO, against them, i.e. just as He turned the gods of Egypt against the Egyptians, which gods you will remember could NOT help them nor save them from the plagues which He brought forth at the command of His two witnesses.

Remember Hab. 2:6 that their "transgression by wine" and their "arrogance", etc. shall become a "parable and a taunting proverb AGAINST them"?

Yep, the proud and haughty were thrilled and thought for sure that the house of Jacob would be an easy prey and easy to scatter (which means to confuse) and easy to crush in their bear claws and easy devour in their lions teeth and easy to scoop up and drag into captivity in their "fishing nets", their worldwide web of deceit and deception.

Only one problem, God came forth and said "BEHOLD, let their be light!" and the whole scam was exposed in the Light of His truth and the NWO came crashing down and all her little harlots were ashamed at their nakedness!

Behold, Babylon is Fallen, is fallen!

[15] Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.
Dear fellow Christian: Are you ready and willing to walk through the spiritual Red Sea with the great waters piled high on both sides of you?

Oh my Lord God, I never looked at it that way!

[16]When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
When Habakkuk first "saw" the vision, when he first "heard with his ears to hear", he was troubled and somewhat fearful, i.e. he became a little "RESTLESS"!

But now he has entered into His Rest and now he fully understands FROM THE WORD OF GOD the whole plan and how that his people shall fall prey to the Chaldeans, i.e. that the majority of our Christian brothers and sisters shall be deceived by the false-christ along with the rest of the world.

Yes, God has all power and He has great purpose in allowing the great tribulation to occur, not only for the sake of His people but for the benefit of ALL nations.

And when that 7th Trump sounds and the 7th Vial, His cup of wrath, is poured out, He shall bring all those nations into subjection and they shall KNOW that He is Yahveh and there is NONE OTHER!

Habakkuk 2:14
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
We also need to learn a lesson from the great prophet Elijah when he got a little "down" (actually sat down) when he figured "the work that he was working" for the Lord just wasn't working out too well (from his perspective that is).

Be patient, endure, labor hard, the POWER is there!

He has reserved His (7,000) elect who come forth from those two rays (Zech 4:2) and who shall NOT bow a knee unto Satan (Rom. 11:4).

Understand that although most of our people shall not heed the warnings from our Father, because they are "foolish" virgins and do not fill their lamps with the oil from His Word, even rather perpetuating the evil work, the darkness of the wicked one, they will eventually "See the Light" which did shine forth among them!

Habakkuk 2:17
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
"There is nothing new under the sun", which means there is nothing new in this flesh age that was not in the world that then was.

Our people in this final generation are Biblically ignorant, unknowledgeable in His Word.

Satan has once again "drawn them away" from the mercy seat of truth and so they shall stumble in darkness because they have not enough "oil" to light their lamps through the dark hour which is soon upon us, even as we see the dark clouds from the smoke of the pit of hell closing in overhead.

Yes, there is nothing new, so here is how it was at the close of the first age and here is how it is at the close of this one:

Jeremiah 4:22
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish [means "stupid"] children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Nevertheless, God bless our precious brothers and sisters.

Though we wish so dearly that they could SEE THE LIGHT right now and be part of that "Fire" which shall consume the beast and all that is evil in this world, we know our Father's wondrous plan and that eventually they will SEE the LIGHT!

He will see to it that they do through His wondrous works!

Do you understand now the PURPOSE of the two tribulations?

If so, be joyful, be happy and continue to pump oil and let that Light SHINE that others might see His Glory when the work is finished!

Habakkuk 2:18
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
God's elect have absolutely nothing to fear!

Though we walk through (and we do walk through) the shadow of the valley of death (those spiritually dry bones of Ezek. 37) we shall fear no evil, not even the evil wicked one himself?

Why do we not fear?

Because we have peace of mind for we have already entered into His rest (Sabbath, see Heb. 4:10-11)! I.e. we do not have to wait until "The Lord's Day" as so many of our brothers and sisters must do!

He has already led us into those luscious green pastures (of truth) spoken of by Isaiah (Isa. 49:9) and Ezekiel (Ezek. 34:4) and David (Ps. 23).

[19] The LORD God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds' feet, and He will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
Note: "To the chief singer on my stringed instruments" is "neginoth" which we discussed in a previous study.

It refers to the smiting of Yahveh on His enemies!

Habakkuk is joyful and happy (and you can bet he is excited too), because you see... he knows how the "work that our Father is going to work" in these last days is "going down"!

God shall even do a wondrous work through those two rays of light! (Are you filling your lamp with His oil?)

Is this knowledge of His purpose and His plan not a wondrous thing to "see"?

If you understand the "vision" of Habakkuk how could you not also be joyful and struck with the same spirit of AWE that he felt towards our Father!

Yes, rejoice in the LORD!

Be HAPPY!

God is our strength and as sure as the surefootedness of a deer He shall make us to walk upon the high places of the earth!

We have the victory!

We are taking over, pal! Liberalism and all wickedness shall burn in the Fire of His Truth and my friend... God's elect and His two witnesses, have "Fire", His Fire, His truth, and that Fire, that brilliant Glittering Sword, shall proceed forth from the mouth of those two witnesses and "devour their enemies", even God's enemies!

Rev. 11:5
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Remember what we learned, that the "staves" of the wicked, i.e. their "swords", will be turned against them as a witness, a parable and a taunting proverb unto them!

That explains the latter half of Rev. 11:5 if you have understanding.

You see, Satan and his followers are all a bunch of hypocrites!

Woe unto them when they come face to face with the fire of His truth!

EPILOG

What a wonderful and revealing book this Book of Habakkuk has been.

It just makes one what to reach out and give our Father a great big hug and "embrace" Him, for He is so good to us and to His people!

Be happy and trust in Him and be one His right hand men or women, rays of light in this ever-darkening world!

What an honor and a privilege it is to serve Him in these last days!

It is fitting that we now conclude this great Book of Habakkuk, written by the prophet and watchman whose name means to "Embrace", with the final words of Moses just following the great "Song of Moses" (Deut. 32) and the blessing upon the children of Israel just before they entered the promise land.

Deut. 33:26
There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in His excellency on the sky.
Did you know that "Who is like Yahveh" is what the name "Micah" means in Hebrew?

Have you seen the vision he saw?

[27] The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
He is our Rock!

A Mighty Fortress is our God!

He shall destroy His enemies with "the sword of His excellency" (vs. 29)!

[28] Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn [bread] and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
From the Song of Moses, Deut. 32:2, "My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass."
[29]Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
His right hand men and women shall begin (and have begun) the stomping on the "high places" of the earth! He has given them POWER to TREAD (Luke 10:19)!
Thank you Father! We love you so much! XXXX OOOO
Amen
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
