PROPHETS – WARNINGS FOR 21ST CENTURY ‘CHRISTIANS

Habakkuk

How long, Lord, have I called for help,
And You do not hear?
I cry out to You, “Violence!”
Yet You do not save.

Are You not from everlasting,
O Lord my God, my Holy One?
We shall not die.
O Lord, You have appointed them for judgment;
O Rock, You have marked them for correction.

“Behold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the just shall live by his faith.

“Indeed, because he transgresses by wine,
He is a proud man,
And he does not stay at home.
Because he enlarges his desire as hell,
And he is like death, and cannot be satisfied,
He gathers to himself all nations
And heaps up for himself all peoples.

“Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed,
Who establishes a city by iniquity!

Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts
That the peoples labor to feed the fire,
And nations weary themselves in vain?

“But the Lord is in His holy temple.

Let all the earth keep silence before Him.”

Habakkuk 2:20 NKJV

O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid;
O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years!
In the midst of the years make it known;
In wrath remember mercy.

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
