Habakkuk 3:15

“Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, etc.] And as thou didst of old, so do again; as Jehovah walked through the Red sea in a pillar of cloud and fire, which were his horses and chariots, and destroyed the Egyptians; so may he walk through another sea by his instruments, and destroy the enemies of his church and people; (see Gill on “<350308>Habakkuk 3:8”). The “sea” here signifies the world, compared to it for the multitude of its people; the noise, fluctuation, and uncertainty of all things in it; and particularly the Roman empire, the sea out of which the antichristian beast arose, (<661301>Revelation 13:1). The “horses” are the angels or Christian princes, with whom the Lord…”

“Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses-- (Hab 3:8). No obstacle could prevent Thy progress when leading Thy people in safety to their inheritance, whether the Red Sea, Jordan, or the figurative waves of foes raging against Israel (Psa 65:7; Psa 77:19).”

“Thou didst walk through the sea with Thine horses - God Himself is pictured as leading them on the way, Himself at the head of their multitude, having, as Asaph said of old “His path in the sea.” So Isaiah Isaiah 63:13. “who leddest them in the depths;” and Zechariah Zechariah 10:11. “And he shall pass through the sea.” God was literally there; for Acts 17:28. “in Him we live and move and have our being.” He who “is wholly everywhere but the whole of Him nowhere” manifested His Presence there. Such anthropomorphisms have a truth, which people’s favorite abstractions have not. Through the heap - o of great waters as of old Exodus 15:8; Psalms 78:13. “the waters stood us a heap, and He made…”

“Didst walk - Thou heldest on thy way, from thy entering in on the east of the land, to the west thereof. Habakkuk 3:16”

“3:15 sea . . . waters: The section ends as it began (3:8).”

“walk: Hab 3:8; Psa 77:19 heap: or, mud Habakkuk 3:16”
