A prophecy of Martin Luther and the Textus Receptus Reformation Bibles
(Including specifically and ultimately the English Authorized Version of the Holy Bible of 1611)
"I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith." (Hab. 2:1-4)
If you study the life of Martin Luther, and his conversion from an Augustinian monk to the great Reformer: you will learn Romans 1:17 played an enormous role in Luther’s salvation and journey of faith. But what was St. Paul quoting in Romans 1:17? Habakkuk 2:4. And in the previous verse (v. 3) we are told: “the vision is yet for an appointed time... though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” I certainly agree that “the vision” came with our Lord’s first advent and then continued with Apostle Paul’s theological doctrines in his Epistles. But “the vision” also arrived when Luther rediscovered the Greek Textus Receptus and justification through faith FROM THIS VERY VERSE!
And “the vision” continued to become more clear through the Reformation till we came to “The book of vision” (Nah. 1:1)—described in the first verse of Nahum: the Book right before Habakkuk... that “book” was none other than the Holy Bible: the King James Version of 1611!
¶ A prophecy of the Protestant Reformation was also contained in Nahum (see Nah. 2:6). The "rivers shall be opened" in that passage is Protestantism: viz. the knowledge of God's word, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the flowing power of God's Spirit. On the other hand, "the palace shall be dissolved" was God's judgment against Rome (the Vatican) and Catholicism! Then the Holy Spirit rips the Roman Whore to shreds in Chapter 3. (cf. Rev. Ch. 17 & 18)
In Jesus Christ’s name, I pray, Amen & Amen.
If you think this connection of the “vision” of Christ’s ministry and Luther’s ministry is a stretch, then consider the phrase “the time of reformation” in Heb. 9:10—that signifies the movement from Old Testament Judaism to New Testament Christianity (with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ) AND (prophetically speaking) from Medieval Catholicism to the illumination of Biblical Protestantism (with Luther).
***UPDATE***
"Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you." (Hab. 1:5)
There is one more quotation from the Book of Habakkuk in the New Testament... it is Hab. 1:5 by Apostle Paul in Acts
But, there is a dual-application of the verse to the King James Bible too. Who would believe that God would give the world a perfect latter-day Bible Translation without any flaws or errors??? Many don’t. And many of them are modern Christians. They believe God Almighty didn’t give us a perfect Holy Bible at the Protestant Reformation, because they believe it has errors in it and it needs to be updated every year to six months! These AV Bible despisers are included in who the Holy Spirit is speaking about in Hab. 1:5—because of their unbelief and rejection of the Final Authority of the Holy Scriptures. (see also Matt. 22:29)
