Habakkuk 1:5
The Lord Reveals Some Startling News
1:5 “Look at the nations and pay attention!
You will be shocked and amazed!
For I will do something in your lifetime
that you will not believe even though you are forewarned.
Acts 13:40-41
13:40 Watch out,
then, that what is spoken about by
the prophets does not happen to you:
13:41 ‘Look, you scoffers; be amazed and perish!
For I am doing a work in your days,
a work you would never believe, even if someone tells you.’”
Ephesians 3:3-9
3:3 that
by revelation the divine secret
was made known to me, as I wrote before briefly.
3:4 When reading this,
you will be able to
understand my insight into this secret
of Christ.
3:5 Now this secret
was not disclosed to people
in former
generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by
the Spirit,
3:6 namely, that through the gospel
the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members
of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.
3:7 I became a servant of this gospel
according to the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by
the exercise of his power.
3:8 To me – less than the least of all the saints
– this grace was given,
to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ
3:9 and to enlighten
everyone about God’s secret plan
– a secret that has been hidden for ages
in God
who has created all things.
