For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
The whole earth is going to be completely filled with knowing how amazing God is, like how water covers every inch of the ocean floor.
God's glory is going to be everywhere, and I mean everywhere.
📚 Historical Context
Habakkuk was a prophet in Judah around the 7th century BC, during a time of widespread injustice, moral decline, and the looming threat of Babylonian invasion. In his book, Habakkuk dialogues with God about why He allows evil to persist, and God responds with visions of judgment followed by promises of restoration. This verse specifically assures that, despite current troubles, the whole earth will one day be filled with the knowledge of God's glory, much like the waters fully cover the sea.
