1 The prophecy that Habakkuk the prophet received.
Israel's complaint 2 How
long, LORD, must I call for help,
but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, Stop! but you do not save by ending this sacrifice Im in? 3 Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing against? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds. 4 Therefore the law is paralysed, and justice never prevails. The wicked dress up as though they are the righteous, but only so that justice can be perverted.
The LORDs answer
5 Look
at the nations and watch
and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told. 6 I am raising up the Babylonians, that ruthless and impetuous people, who sweep across the whole earth to seize dwellings that are not their own. 7 They are a feared and dreaded people; they are a law to themselves and promote their own honour. 8 Their wealth, possessions and skills are great but they think only about themselves. 8a Their mobility that allows them to travel with great places but they care little about how the burning of fossil fuels into the atmosphere can affect the world and place that they go to. 8b How the fuel that they burn can affect the weather and how the people who are affected by the weather can suffer from the petrol that you commit now! 8c They fly like an eagle to places abroad but care little about the people in the counties from which they travel to, as weather effect the poor the most.
In the poorest areas people swooping to devour them;
and amongst the good people live people who come with intent on violence. Their hordes advance like a desert wind and gather prisoners like sand. 10 They mock kings and scoff at rulers. They laugh at all fortified cities; 10a They cheer and celebrate the news of the killings of innocent people from whom they have never met. by building guns and weapons they capture them with intended of beheading them for crimes that are not crimes. 11 Then they sweep past like a wind and go on to massacre many Burning, beheading, poisoning, stabbing, gassing, and using chemical weapons on others - all these things are what the guilty people, whose own strength is their god, do. 11a It is because of this that there are few innocent people, for those who kill, deserve to be killed, and those who murder deserve to be murdered. 11b Likewise if a victim has seemly committed no crime in one life, how can you say this for sure, as a person has many lifes, so to be clean of murder charges in one life, does not mean you are clean of the crime against another from another life. 11c For like it is written all have sinned and fallen in the sight of the Lord. Even those who just promet christianity have blood on their hands. 11f For there are many people being killed for their religion, and by supporting that religion which obviously is not the truth, have encouraged them to support this faith, and then many have died for this. 11g Likewise, if God semling supports christianity, like what many of you did, of which resulted in the killing of millions of people, why should God prevent the same crime that has been inflicted on them, why should God prevent that same thing from being done to you. 11h When you heard about the persecution of millions of christians, did you say, I must switch my belief as to not give power to this religion that is only causing many people to die. 11i so likewise when God looks down on the and sees people being destroyed and blinded by the lies of the old bible, why should God save you if you would not save others in the same way. 11j Plus it's not as simple as God saving you for God is only a guide, and she has never supported christianity, but like wise you have never supported her, for those of you who love the book infact hate her as the book is all about her destruct! 11k If you long for her destruction then why should she not long for your. 11l You get what you give in this world, if you ignore God and only desire your own prosperity, why should you not expect God to do the same. 9
Habakkuks complaint
12 LORD,
are you not from everlasting?
My God, my Holy One, you will never die. You, LORD, have appointed them to execute judgment; you, my Rock, have ordained them to punish. and to receive punishment via kalma for the errors of their ways 13 Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves? 14 You have made people like the fish in the sea, the people of the past like the sea creatures that have no ruler. 15 The wicked foe pulls all of them up with hooks, he catches them in his net, he gathers them up in his drag-net; The lord relays: Evolution of the soul is what it is called 15a It's all a development process that you grow and learn from. Even the worst experience can have some advantage and even if its results in death a new life will be granted for you to start again, and grow more into the person you want to be, or to live the life that you want to live! 15b Only when your will to live dies will your soul die. but the more rejection and suffering you go through, the more you will enjoy your life when that time of suffering ends. 15c When you finally achieve what it is that you want to achieve the harder you worked for something, the more you will appreciate it at the end when you have got it, 15d proving that the thing that you worked really hard for is actually the thing that you want, and not just something you thought you wanted. 15e Also the longer you work to achieve something, the longer you will enjoy it, proving the outcome is something that's worth the effort. 15f For you may make many wrong decisions or take many wrong paths but it's all part of the learning experience. 15g The universe is like a big university, and like in university all people will make some mistakes but like uni few mistakes are actually mistakes as you learn from the things that you do. 15h Whether you have; nights of drunkenness, possessions stolen, work lost because of disorientation, or if you have to work with people that they don't like or agree with, you can learn something for everything that you do! 15i And people will fail grades; if they have not study enough, if they have not put hard enough effort into a project or if they have not thought hard enough about the outcome 15j Without the free will to choose what you want to do, how will you learn and evolve into the person you really want to be? who can you live if yu the decisions are made for you?
Habakkuk rejoices and is glad.
16 as he now sees the point of sacrifices. for by his net he lives in luxury. and enjoys the free will choices that he makes for himself. 17 So, is God really destroying nations without mercy?
2 I, God,
will stand at my watch
and station myself; I will look to see what people will say to me, and what answer they will give to this complaint.
The LORDs Message to her Preachers
2 Then
the LORD replied:
Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets brochures, leaflets, teach it in schools and churches so that a all may know it. 3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it lingers, wait for it; it for it will certainly come and will not delay. 4 See, the enemy is puffed up; his desires are not upright but the righteous person will live by truthfulness and honestyfor there is no need to lie unless it's an embarrassing thing. 4a But you should not be embarrassed about making mistakes as all have done this, for it is just part of the learning process 5 indeed, but as for the lies, his lies only betrays himself; he is arrogant and never at rest. 5a For the people that spin lies can only spin a web that can trap others, but if too many insects get caught up in a web at the same time, then it only a matter of time before the web attacks another spider to steels watch was court. 5b Or if the web that was created is exposed to open areas or if it is large and expands over a large space, then it will only a matter of time before a bigger too destroy it. 5c Don't be like these spiders because he is as greedy sly and lives of entrapping others. Like death is never satisfied, he gathers to himself all the nations and takes captive all the peoples. 6 Will not all the people taunt, ridicule and insult him when his lies have been exposed, saying;
Woe to him who piles up stolen goods
and makes himself wealthy by fraud and corruption! How long must this go on? 7 Will not your creditors suddenly arise? Will they not wake up and make you pay for your crime against them? Then you will become their prey. 8 Because you type of people have plundered many nations, the peoples who are left will plunder you. For you have shed human blood or caused human suffering depending on how severe your crime is against them; you have destroyed lands and cities and homes, family and business. 9 Woe to him who builds his house by unjust believes, Who sets his nest on thin branches to escape the clutches of larger animals, as larger animals are to heavy for the thin branches. 9a But as the animal climbs up the branch breaks and the nest comes tumbling to the ground! 10 You religious people have plotted the ruin of many peoples, because you built your house on a thin branch so that the real Christ can snap it off and bring it to the ground at the appointed time. shaming your own house and forfeiting your life. 11 The stones of the wall will cry out, and the beams of the woodwork will echo it. 12 Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed or lies and establishes a town by injustice and inequality! 13 Has not the LORD Almighty determined that the peoples labour is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing? 14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. 15 Woe to him who displays hatred to his neighbours, pouring it from the baril till they are drunk, so that he can mock their mystery and laugh at any misfortune that comes their way! 16 You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink and let your heartlessness be exposed! The cup of wrath from the LORDs right hand is coming round to you, and disgrace will cover your glory. 17 The violence you have done to people will overwhelm you, and your destruction of animals cruelty will terrify you. For you have shed their blood; and you don't want to return to being an animal in your next life. you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them. 18 Of what value is an idol carved by a craftsman? Or an image that teaches lies?
For the one who trusts in his own creation;
he makes idols that cannot speak, hence will receive no wisdom from it! 19 Woe to him who says to a image of Jesus, Come to life! Or to lifeless stone, Wake up! Save me Jesus Can it give guidance? It is covered with love and wisdom; there is no breath in it, but there's breath in Anna. 19a It is wrong wrong to worship an image of her, or make a stause of her, just know that the words she speaks and positive atrabes that she has are far more important than what she wears or what she looks like. 19b Would you judge a wife solely on what they look like? True they did this in the past but they were like animals back then and you should aim to rise to a higher form of consensus where you actually know the people around you and actually love the people you sleep with! 20 The LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before her, and follow on after her
Habakkuks prayer
3 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet.
2 LORD,
I have heard of your fame;
I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. 3 God came from Israel, the Holy One. Her glory covered the heavens and her praise filled the earth. 4 Her splendour was like the sunrise; rays flashed from her hand, where his power was hidden. 5 Plague went before her in the timeline; pestilence followed Darlas steps. 6 She stood, and shook the earth; She looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient traditions crumbled and the age-old hills collapsed but she marches on for ever. 7 I saw the tents of Christianity in distress, the dwellings of Jesus in anguish. 8 Were you angry with the people, LORD? Was your wrath against the religious people? Did you rage against the sea when you rode your truth and your prophecies to victory?
9 You
uncovered your face,
you called for many documentaries about facts. You split the earth with false doctrines about Christ; 10 but then all phrases came to light. The people saw you and writhed. Torrents of water swept by; the deep roared and lifted its waves on high. 11 Sun and moon eclipsed on special jewish festivals at the glint of your eyes, people's eyes and ears were opened. 12 In wrath you strode through the earth and in anger you threshed the nations. 13 You came out to deliver your people, to save your anointed one. You crushed, Jesus, the leader of the land of wickedness, you stripped him of his power. 14 With his own image and teachings you pierced his head when his warriors stormed out in rage, gloating as though about to devour the wretched (Israel) who was in hiding. 15 But you trampled the sea with your horses, churning the great waters. 16 I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered at the sound; decay crept into my bones, and my legs trembled. Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the people invading us. 17 Though the fig-tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the sheepfold and no cattle in the stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Saviour. 19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
