Scripture Focus

1A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.

2O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.

3God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.

4And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

5Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.

6He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.

Habakkuk 3:1-6

Biblical Context

Habakkuk prays in fear, asking God to revive His work and remember mercy in judgment. The theophany described—glory filling the heavens and the earth praising—speaks to a divine order entering consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Habakkuk stands within the cave of his own consciousness, whispering a prayer upon Shigionoth, and his fear opens the door for the I AM to move. To revive thy work in the midst of the years is to choose a new state of mind that refuses the old pattern in matter. In the Neville reading, the theophany is not a distant earthquake of history but a conversion of inner sight: God comes from Teman and the Holy One from Paran, symbols of rising awareness moving into higher regions of mind. His glory covers the heavens; the earth is full of praise because your inner light is suddenly seen. His brightness is as the light; horns coming from his hand denote power aligned with clear intention. Before him went pestilence, and burning coals went forth—dramatic inner manifestations when you stand in the firmness of your self-conscious authority. He stands, and measures the earth; he beholds and drives asunder the nations; the everlasting mountains bow to your realized state. The ways are everlasting because they are your eternal mental laws. Pray, revise, and feel it real.
