Habakkuk 3:2

The Prophet we left at his watch tower, in the opening of the foregoing chapter, to receive the Lord's answers, to his humble supplication, and here we find him again thankfully acknowledging the faithfulness of Jehovah, in hearing and answering his petitions. But, Reader! do observe how all he saith hath an eye to mercy, and to God's own work. And what were both in the Old Testament Church, and Old Testament language, but the Lord Jesus Christ? Is not Jesus, as Christ, the Christ of God; the work of God in redemption? John 9:4. And is not Jesus the mercy promised; yea, the first born in the womb of mercy? Luke 1:72.
