FAQ # 124
QUESTION 124 : What does it mean that God
came from Teman and the Holy One from Mount Paran? (Hab. 3:3).
Many people are confused about this scripture and
their carnal minds immediately thinks that this scripture is telling us
about a place from which the Almighty God originated and where, perhaps
there are other gods. Please, understand this readers, to us there is
but one God. He has always been and always will be; had no beginning of
days or end of life as it is written in the volume of the book (the bible)
concerning Him (Heb 7:3). This scripture is referring to the place from
which the voice of God was heard, that is the voice of God was heard from
Teman and His voice was heard from the mountain of Paran. The Prophet
Habukkuk said "...when I heard, my belly trembled, my lips quivered
at the voice..." (Hab. 3:16).

Answer Notes: 1. In addition, a most outstanding visitation of
God in Mt. Paran in Teman. Not that God actually came from his own creation,
but rather a place where this outstanding visitation was. In fact, Moses
make mention of the said place, so it’s quite possibly it’s in Sinai or
a reference to that, “The LORD came from Sinai and rose up from Seir unto
them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands
of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.” (Due 33:2).
Notice that he shined from mount Paran but “he came with ten thousands
of…,” in other words, he came from elsewhere, heaven, to Mt Paran. So
when Habukukuk mentions it, he wasn’t literally saying God came from earth,
as ridiculous as it sounds. He created the earth, how could he come from
it? This is totally senseless to think.
