Habakkuk & Paul – Ep #10: Does God include verse 20 to Rebut Paul's false teaching about the temple?

Jul 21, 2022

Video Description

Why would God add verse 20 to a passage where in Hab. 2:2-6 has 11 character traits that apply to Paul?

Because God YHWH could intend verse 20 as a rebuff to Paul's most insulting teaching about YHWH. Verse 20 of Habakkuk ch. 2 says:

20 But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him!

This is direct contradiction to Paul's claim to the contrary that God does not live in temples made with human hands:

24 “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands.” Acts 17:24

Jesus speaks of God dwelling at the temple, when He says he who “swears by the Temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it." (Matt. 23:21)

Jesus elsewhere speaks of the “Temple [at Jerusalem] made with hands." (Mark 14:58)

The made by "human hands" are the same words in each verse, differing only by case - an irrelevant difference:

Greek cheiropoietois - made with hands (Acs 17:24)

Greek cheiropoieton, 'made with hands (Mark 14:58).

Thus, YHWH God could have intended this verse 20 to rebuff the same person God elaborately gave Habkkuk a prophcy with 11 traits to prove whom YHWH intended as His target.
