For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
Habakkuk 2:14 NIV
This is a good one. At first glance I thought the scripture pointed to Jonah and the great flood. The issue I had there is that it just didn’t sound right, so I dug in to the surrounding scripture. I needed the context.
What I have arrived at, is that the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will fill the earth. The knowledge itself will fill the earth. It will fill the earth like the waters cover the sea.
Once judgement comes from the Lord, its source will be obvious. Once Jesus returns to the earth it will be obvious. Knowledge of the Lord’s glory will fill the earth.
