“The divine revelation that the prophet Habakkuk saw” (Habakkuk 1:1) –
This is a Word from the Lord. It is given to Habakkuk. It is given to
God’s people, Israel. It is given to His Church in every nation and
every generation. God’s Word is to be received by God’s people. God’s
Word is to be passed on to God’s people. “Didn’t You exist before time
began, O Lord my God, my Holy One?” (Habakkuk 1:12). God does not speak
to us from the standpoint of a human observer. He’s more than someone
who belongs to time alone. He is the eternal God. When we listen to the
voice of God, we are listening to the voice of the One who is eternal,
the One who is calling us on to eternal life.
"Be careful! Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" (Matthew 17:6),. even after there us divine revelation (Matthew 16:17), the influence of evil can be felt (Matthew 16:23), The warning - "Be careful! Watch out ... !" must never be forgotten. Satan is looking for an opportunity to leads us away from the Lord. We must hear what Jesus is saying to us about discipleship (Matthew 16:24), and we must commit ourselves to Him (Matthew 16:25). There is nothing more important than this (Matthew 16:26). If we are to be true followers of Jesus, we must learn to live our lives in the light of eternity (Matthew 16:27). We are to seek revelations of God's eternal Kingdom, revelations which will send us back, from the mountain-top, to live each day for Jesus.
