Bammerhab: Bible Explainer
God slowly carves out judgement and deliverance using the same sharp tool: Time itself.
Time unveils reality. Time is a chisel. Though it tarries, we must wait for it because waiting is carving out an image.
I’m very grateful to poet Beth Matheson for her poems “His Glory Will Rise” and “Beatitude Sonnet IV” that she shares with us at the end of this episode! Find more of her poetry here and here.
This episode digs deeper into “chakah” (חָכָה meaning “wait”) in Habakkuk 2:3.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 - “Then the LORD answered me and said:“Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”
Mentioned:
What is a Bammerhab?
“You have not given me into the hands of the enemybut have set my feet in a spacious place.” (Ps. 31:8 - NIV)
The phrase “in a spacious place” is the Hebrew word: Bammerhab.
