Definition: The term "Habakkuk 1:10" is a poetic phrase from Hebrew Scripture and is often used to convey the concept of the coming of the Messiah (or the Lord) as described in Habakkuk's prophecies. The verse begins with, "The heavens will come down like water; the earth also shall be flooded." This verse translates to modern English as:
"Then the heavens will drop like raindrops; the earth will overflow with waters." The phrase has a playful and edgy flavor, as it plays on the word 'rains' (like water) in Hebrew. The sentence could be, "Don't you just love how Habakkuk's prophecies sound like they're coming down the pews?" This is a fun twist on the traditional translation that adds an element of humor and irony. For example: "I'm not sure I understand this one yet, but it seems the rain is falling at my house!"
