Verses 1-20

Habakkuk 2:20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

Habakkuk 2:20 Comments - When the presence of the Lord descended into the Temple, all flesh was put silences. The priests were not able to stand and minister. The musical instruments fell silent as everyone was in awe at the glory of the Lord (1 Chronicles 5:11-14).

Benny Hinn says that divine silence is produced from abundance and not lack. There is a place in God’s presence where words cannot be spoken. This is where true prayer begins, where the soul no longer labours, but is at rest. [8]

[8] Benny Hinn, This is Your Day (Irving, Texas), on Trinity Broadcasting Network (Santa Ana, California), television program.
