以賽亞書21:11-17



21:11 論度瑪的默示:有人聲從西珥呼問我說:守望的啊,夜裡如何?守望的啊,夜裡如何?
21:12
守望的說:早晨將到,黑夜也來。你們若要問就可以問,可以回頭再來。
21:13
論阿拉伯的默示:底但結伴的客旅啊,你們必在阿拉伯的樹林中住宿。
21:14
提瑪地的居民拿水來,送給口渴的,拿餅來迎接逃避的。
21:15
因為他們逃避刀劍和出了鞘的刀,並上了弦的弓與刀兵的重災。
21:16
主對我這樣說:「一年之內,照雇工的年數,基達的一切榮耀必歸於無有。
21:17
弓箭手所餘剩的,就是基達人的勇士,必然稀少,因為這是耶和華以色列的上帝說的。」

11 The oracle concerning Dumah.
 
One is calling to me from Seir,
“Sentinel, what of the night?
Sentinel, what of the night?”
12
The sentinel says:
“Morning comes, and also the night.
If you will inquire, inquire;
come back again.”

13 The oracle concerning the desert plain.
 
In the scrub of the desert plain you will lodge,
O caravans of Dedanites.
14
Bring water to the thirsty,
meet the fugitive with bread,
O inhabitants of the land of Tema.
15
For they have fled from the swords,
from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow,
and from the stress of battle.
16 For thus the Lord said to me: Within a year, according to the years of a hired worker, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end; 17and the remaining bows of Kedar’s warriors will be few; for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.

    巴比倫不保,也就造成以東也不保,因為上帝就是要亞述成為當時的霸權,誰也無法抵擋。

    上帝所立的強權還是在上帝的掌控中,是不能脫離上帝而自立。同樣撒但勢力雖然很大,但是撒但仍是在上帝的掌握中,因為撒但也是受造之物。撒但雖然是抵擋上帝的,但是終有一天會被滅除的。

    因此,我們不需要害怕魔鬼,反到要堅定倚賴主,並且相信最後的勝利是屬乎主和祂的子民!
