Habukkuk 1:9-11

This is so definitive of the terrorist groups desiring money, power and control and using the name of their god as a means of attaining it. 

We need to remember that  God  alone is in control. 

He will put an end to violence because He detests it.

Habakkuk had observed violence in Judah), but Babylon relished violence. They did not respect authorities and powers other than their own.

Habakkuk 1:9-11

⁹ “They all come for violence;

Their faces are set like the east wind.

They gather captives like sand.

¹⁰ They scoff at kings,

And princes are scorned by them.

They deride every stronghold,

For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.

¹¹ Then his mind changes, and he transgresses;

He commits offense,

Ascribing this power to his god.”

⁴ They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone. 

Daniel 5:4
