Exodus 16:22
New Living Translation
"On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much as usual—four quarts for each person instead of two. Then all the leaders of the community came and asked Moses for an explanation."
English Standard Version
"On the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers each. And when all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses,"
Matthew Poole's Commentary ON Exodus 16:22
Considering God’s present providence in causing it to fall in double proportion, and remembering that the next day was the sabbath day, which God had blessed and sanctified to his own immediate service, Genesis 2:3, and therefore was not to be employed in servile works, such as the gathering of manna was, they rightly concluded that God’s commands, delivered Exodus 16:16,19, reached only to ordinary days, and must in all reason give place to the more ancient and necessary law of the sabbath.
Either to acquaint him with this increase of the miracle, or to take his direction for their practice, because they found two commands seemingly clashing together, and therefore needed and desired his advice.
NOTICE BELOW (with prophetic eyes)
- There are Two IDEAS -- get more and rest well!
- There is Twice as much ALLOWED -- get ready for double portion
- This has to take Explanation from LEADERSHIP for proper Context and Guidance
- There is a given effect: Get READY for increase IN and OUT (from the SENDING to the GOING)

As the Waters Cover the Sea
(Habakkuk 2:14)
(borrowed from WRH, OnePlace, Alex Dodson )
Should we expect the gospel to be successful in this age?
There are those who prophesy certain defeat for the gospel in this world that all will get worse and worse and that Satan and his forces will increase. Things will get so bad that the church will have to be taken out of the way and then destruction will come on the world. Yet, is this really what the Bible teaches? Is the gospel so impotent that it will go down in defeat and that Satan will take over the world? Nations that were once Christian are now coming under the control of Satan’s Kingdom.
Is there no future hope for these nations in this age? Should we consider those nations as completely lost forever? Habakkuk is a book that gives us much hope for the future. Though things looked bad in his time, yet God promised better things to come. The nations that were then in power would not succeed in their evil intentions. God would win in the end. His cause would prevail.
Habakkuk 2:14 says,
“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”
The previous verse shows that the nations will not be successful in their evil intentions when it says, “Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?
The Kingdom of Satan is not going to win. God’s kingdom will prevail. Satan and all his forces cannot stop the Kingdom of God. He will try and he has tried, but he will not succeed.
There will come a time when the knowledge of the Lord will cover the whole earth as the waters cover the sea. It is interesting to note the interpretation given to this verse by Bible scholars from an earlier time. This same verse is given in Isaiah 11:9 on which Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) comments saying, “Now the kingdom of Christ shall in the most strict and literal sense be extended to all nations, and the whole earth. There are many passages of scripture that can be understood in no other sense. What can be more universal than Isaiah 11:9. ‘For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.’ As much as to say, as there is no part of the channel or cavity of the sea, but what is covered with water; so there shall be no part of the world of mankind but what shall be covered with the knowledge of God.” (p. 315, The History of Redemption)
Instead of relegating this verse to some future age after Christ returns, Edwards interprets it as referring to this age and the victory of the gospel in this world in which we live.
John Gill (1697-1771) makes the same interpretation as Edwards.
In commenting on Habakkuk 2:14, Gill writes, “…and the great spread and large abundance of this knowledge communicated by the preaching of the gospel is thus illustrated and exemplified, as the waters cover the sea; expressing the nature of gospel doctrines, revealing the glory of Christ and his grace, which, like waters, refresh and make fruitful; and the force and power of them, bearing down all before them, like an inundation of water when it breaks its banks; and likewise the depths of them, these being the deep things of God; and more especially the general spread and large abundance of them, and of the knowledge conveyed by them; which will fill the earth, as the waters of the sea fill up and cover the vast chasm prepared for them…”
(from John Gill’s Commentary on Habakkuk – www.studylight.org )
Early pioneer missionaries such as William Carey and David Livingstone had the same outlook as Habakkuk 2:14.
They proclaimed a gospel that could convert whole nations and whole continents to Christ. After laboring in India for five and one-half years, Carey and his colleagues finally had one convert in 1800. They said, “He was only one, but a continent was coming behind him. The divine grace which changed one Indian’s heart could obviously change a hundred thousand.”
(The Puritan Hope, p. 141)
