More Than 1500 Years Ago, The Prophet Habakkuk Said. How Long How Long? (Hab 2:3)
118 Answers
When will God destroy the wicked? If so, how much longer must we wait? Such questions are asked by people throughout the earth. Where can we find the answers? We can do so in divinely inspired prophetic words about God’s appointed time. They assure us that Jehovah will soon execute judgment upon all wicked ones. Only then will the earth become completely “filled with the knowing of the glory of Jehovah as the waters themselves cover over the sea.” That is the prophetic promise found in God’s Sacred Word at Habakkuk 2:14.

So what we need to do is to make sure we are living now as if that day is going to strike tomorrow. However, that doesn’t mean it is not going to come, it is fast approaching as we can see from the world scene. The time is clearly marked in God’s Word. Matthew 24 v 36.
But the Bible does outline signs to indicate the nearness of that day.
The Bible wasn’t written for nothing, it is not a book of stories, but of facts and history.
You all need to read the Bible more and get true understanding, not just words!

Habakkuk 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
Habakkuk read and lived the scriptures so that they became a reality for him. As a result, he had great certainty regarding the future. He understood deeply that God never leaves his people uninformed and that a believer doing his best for God can be an example for others.
Jesus gave his apostles perspective, in Acts 1:6-8 that in receiving the power of the Holy Spirit, they would be witnesses for him and help others to be examples of believers informed in the things of God.
Seven distinct sections of scriptures give us a further perspective that we can run with. Each introduces a topic we can build with certainty in our understanding as informed believers.
1. The gift ministries - Romans 1:13 …I purposed to come unto you… that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among...
2. The mystery - Romans 11:5,25 …at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery…
3. Old Testament examples - I Corinthians 10:1 …how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
4. Things of the spirit - I Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts (matters), brethren…
5. Standing despite adversity - II Corinthians 1:8 …our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure…
6. The adversary - II Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
7. Believers awaiting the return - I Thessalonians 4:13 …brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not...
Just as Habakkuk was an example of an informed believer in his day, we can gain certainty from points of learning specific to our day. With assurance in our hearts that God never leaves us uninformed, we can help others live this reality and see the power of the Holy Spirit in evidence in our lives.

andy hughes: //Khandro - You do not know that either premise you have stated is true - it simply suits your position to believe it, but as I have pointed out, that does not make it a fact.//
Yes, it could be that Habakkuk was not really a believer in God, just like Pope Francis could really be a closet Muslim.
(note to self) I really must get my facts straight.
