3:16 耶和華說:「你們在國中生養眾多;當那些日子,人必不再提說耶和華的約櫃,不追想,不記念,不覺缺少,也不再製造。
3:17 那時,人必稱耶路撒冷為耶和華的寶座;萬國必到耶路撒冷,在耶和華立名的地方聚集。他們必不再隨從自己頑梗的惡心行事。
3:18 當那些日子,猶大家要和以色列家同行,從北方之地一同來到我賜給你們列祖為業之地。」
16 And when you have multiplied and been
fruitful in the land, in those days, declares the Lord, they shall no more say,
"The ark of the covenant of the Lord." It shall not come to mind or
be remembered or missed; it shall not be made again. 17 At that time Jerusalem
shall be called the throne of the Lord, and all nations shall gather to it, to
the presence of the Lord in Jerusalem, and they shall no more stubbornly follow
their own evil heart. 18 In those days the house of Judah shall join the house
of Israel, and together they shall come from the land of the north to the land
that I gave your fathers for a heritage.

「那時」都表明在未來某一個時間點有三個的預言會實現,第一個是百姓不再需要或紀念約櫃(原本是上帝同在的象徵),因為知道上帝確實在他們當中,第二個是耶路撒冷會成為朝聖的目標,因為在那裏他們會找到上帝,第三個是南北國會復合並返回自己的國土。
這些事件在今日似乎都實現,這正告訴我們:耶穌基督來了,舊約的預言就成全了!上帝的拯救已經實現了!
既然是如此,我們就必須尊主為大,除了相信耶穌基督是上帝的兒子,更要等候祂的再來,準備好自己迎接再來的王,使自己的行事為人對得起主!
