A look at Habakkuk 2. The Lord is in His holy Temple - not, as the idols in temples made with hands, but revealing Himself in the visible temple (Jerome), dwelling in the Son, by Nature and Union, as He saith John 14:10, The Father who dwelleth in Me doeth the works; in each one of the bodies and souls of the saints by His Spirit 1Co.6:19, in the Blessed, in glory; in the Heavens, by the more evident appearance of His Majesty and the workings of His Power ; everywhere by Essence, Presence, and Power, for in Him we live, and move, and have our being; nowhere as confined or inclosed.

Let God speak. Weather you believe in God the Father or not, He is and always will be. For God is spirit and eternal. We as a people, prone to illness, disease and death, are in the minority of creatures that the almighty has created. We were created for His good pleasure and not God for man. We see, and still are blind, we hear, and still are deaf, we feel, and still are without feeling. Lets read a little.

Habakkuk 2:2-20 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision (The mystical experience of seeing as if with the eyes the supernatural or a supernatural being.), and make it plain (It is written to be easily understood.) upon tables (Paper, stone tablets), that he may run (Many Visions in The Bible are ones of great distress to the reader. many shun away from the prophetic word of God for this very reason. Death will come to all men, it is our destiny.) that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time (The appointed time, as spoken of here is the time of when the vision will become a reality.

We must understand that the visions are periods of time that the prophets see actually what will occur , days, weeks and even thousands of years in advance. Does this say that the visions cannot be changed? No. Visions are warnings of things that will happen unless the actions of man change.), but at the end it shall speak(This is the period of time that this vision will take place. Most visions happen as seen, for God knows the hearts of men.), and not lie ( This is stating that this vision is of a truth, for many false prophets and false visions are created for mans edification and not for Gods.)
: though it tarry ( Thou it will take time before it is accomplished), wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. At the appointed time for this vision to take place, it will occur.

Behold, his soul which is lifted up( pride comes before a fall) is not upright in him ( Man has always thought of himself as the creator of his own destiny. He has rejected the truth of God down thru the ages and will untill the time of the end.): but the just shall live by his faith ( This phrase is used in these passages, Hab.2:4; Rom.1:17; Gal.3:11) Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell (Comparing mans desire as the size of Hell itself.

Hell is never full and continues to enlarge its boarders daily.), and is as death ( Sin. As stated in James 1:15), and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols? World wide many worship, angels, money, cattle, monkeys, golden images, statues. None can hear, speak, listen, teach nor save. But they still come, they still hope, they still worship. Instead of throwing their soul at the problem, they throw stones, instead of searching their hearts, they search the caves and mountains, seeking the face of God.

Totemism, Maori, Witchcraft, Santeria, Woodoo, Palo Mayombe, Umbanda, Abacua, Satanism, Candomble, Marduk, all the Animistic religions, Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism are still rampent in the world. Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.

How many are dieing of hunger because of mans worship of cattle, how many monkeys have feed a child? How many statues, of a man, have ever raised the dead, or promised eternal life? Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity! These religions that we have seen and others not mentioned, build city's and towns, countries and provinces, with violence and blood of the innocent. Their cry is;Kill and you shall be rewarded in Heaven. How can you be rewarded for murder?

Not willing that any man serve his own beliefs but their believes only. Torture and mayhem, surround these religions. Christianity is held as false religion and is punishable by death. Christ is not honored and neither God, for without the Son we have not known the Father. Cannot God create His own Laws and Judgments without the approval of Man? Cannot God demand the worship of His Son to His own Glory? Does God need a figure of stone to be believed in? But the dumb idols still are made, none to speak, none to talk, none to teach.

Graven from the imagination of man from the falling star, to mythological creatures that have came from mans nightmares. From the image of mortal man, to the likeness of Animals. For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein. There are only 2 religions in this world that do not pray nor bow down to Idols, Christianity and Judaism. God had no need for man to make graven images to Him, nor did He desire to have any resemblance of Him, draw, painted nor carved. Christianity has a symbol, not a symbol of life but of death, a Cross.

A symbol of death to the body but a symbol of life to the believer. We bow down to no image, no Idol, no man and yet we worship a True, all powerful God that we cannot see. But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. We worship God by Faith and not sight, we worship the Creator of all things with the spirit and not the flesh, we Worship The Father by love and not violence, seeking only to leed the lost to His Son so that our salvation can be shared by others. Not with the worshiping of angels but of the worship of a true God.
Not seeking a reward on Earth but in Heaven as righteous and not a unrighteous as others seek. Have Idols of Gold ever healed any, have Idols of stone ever feed any have Idols of Silver ever taught any? Have these Idols ever answered prayer, cure diesses, fammon, illness or poverty? No. For they are just dumb Idols.
