Habakkuk is an interesting book..in some ways..like none other.
Habakkuk saw it all..our day..looks very much like his..
War..social disorder..moral decline.
The prophet asks the lord two searing questions.
How could the Lord allow Injustice and violence to run unchecked.?
The second...Why allow the treacherous and the evil to be used as an "Instrument" of Judgement?

Habakkuk chap 3:
"Where you angry with the rivers,O Lord?
Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea...WHEN YOU RODE OUT WITH YOUR HORSES..AND YOUR VICTORIOUS CHARIOTS?"

"You uncovered your bow..you called for many arrows.
Sun and moon stood still in the heavens...
At the glint of your flying arrows..
At the lightning ..of your FLASHING SPEAR!"

In WRATH..you strode through the earth..and in anger..you threshed the nations.

"Woe to him..who builds his realm..by unjust gain"!!!!!!!!!
The Lords response to Habakkuks complaint..answered in detail..answered to a Planet ..which now reaps the return of Sinfull persuit.
Can any nation..truly be exempt from extortion of it's own people...of others.?
The cry of the oppressed has come up to the lord...the entire earth cries out..for deliverance from oppression..even NATURE.
We can clearly discern that the "Arrows"..are missiles..we find the testimony "Confirmed" in scripture.
The 4 winds...the 4 horses...the 4 chariots...
The Lord is sending His judgement out into the earth..it will not return to His throne void...it will accomplish all that He intends.
But war is only one aspect of the "Global" judgement.
Drought will move from regional dimensions..eventually to hit Global proportions...economics will be overturned..and MADNESS will break out in the earth....mans heart will fail for the portent being revealed.

The Lord is just...He will mark His servants with a seal of salvation..He will save..to the uttermost.

Daniel chap 12:
"Those who are wise..will shine..like the brightness of the heavens...
And those who lead many to righteousness..like the stars..forever and ever".

By telling the truth..we will find ourselves rejected..scorned..mocked....but a fire is "Shut up in our bones"..so we must tell.

"Write down the revelation..and make it plain on tablets..so that the herald may run with it..
For the revelation awaits an appointed time;..it speaks to the end.....and it will not prove false"!
