72. "Write the vision and make it plain..." From Questioning to Awe through Faith

One of the most popular verses about "vision" that is used in teaching about personal and group vision statements is Habakkuk 2:2, but what is the original context of this verse? Understanding what is meant by "vision" both generally and specifically in the book of Habakkuk is essential to not taking this verse out of context. Unfortunately, Habakkuk 2 also causes confusion due to an unhelpful chapter division. Once the flow of Habakkuk as a book is seen, the themes and message of the book come to the forefront. The ideas behind "vision" are different but more important than we might have ever thought. Chapters0:26-2:44 Intro2:45-5:18 Habakkuk Overview: Can we trust YHWH?5:19-7:18 The unique opener of Habakkuk7:19-11:22 the 6th Century BCE of the ancient Near East11:23-20:26 An unhelpful chapter division: the context of the vision verse20:27-22:59 What is “vision”?23:00-24:01 Habakkuk’s Problem with God24:02-30:05 Proverbs of Doubt30:06-36:41 Equating God to idols36:42-40:01 The Heart of Habakuk40:02-43:16 Prophet Giving Complaint in Divine Council43:17-51:33 Write the Vision and Live by Faith51:34-54:16 Covenant in Habakkuk 254:17-60:20 From Questioning to Awe through FaithJoin our Bible Study: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsightsWHERE TO FIND USSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsightsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRSNQ7xVw7PjQ5FnqYmSDAWebsite: ⁠https://www.hebrewbibleinsights.com
