民數記20:22-29

20:22 以色列全會眾從加低斯起行，到了何珥山。
20:23 耶和華在附近以東邊界的何珥山上曉諭摩西、亞倫說：
20:24 「亞倫要歸到他列祖（原文是本民）那裡。他必不得入我所賜給以色列人的地；因為在米利巴水，你們違背了我的命。
20:25 你帶亞倫和他的兒子以利亞撒上何珥山，
20:26 把亞倫的聖衣脫下來，給他的兒子以利亞撒穿上；亞倫必死在那裡，歸他列祖。」
20:27 摩西就照耶和華所吩咐的行。三人當著會眾的眼前上了何珥山。
20:28 摩西把亞倫的聖衣脫下來，給他的兒子以利亞撒穿上，亞倫就死在山頂那裡。於是摩西和以利亞撒下了山。
20:29 全會眾，就是以色列全家，見亞倫已經死了，便都為亞倫哀哭了三十天。

²² The whole Israelite community set out from Kadesh and came to Mount Hor. ²³ At Mount Hor, near the border of Edom, the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ²⁴ “Aaron will be gathered to his people. He will not enter the land I give the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against my command at the waters of Meribah. ²⁵ Get Aaron and his son Eleazar and take them up Mount Hor. ²⁶ Remove Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, for Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will die there.”

²⁷ Moses did as the Lord commanded: They went up Mount Hor in the sight of the whole community. ²⁸ Moses removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar. And Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain, ²⁹ and when the whole community learned that Aaron had died, all the Israelites mourned for him thirty days.

    服事的職位是來自上帝，不是個人強求的，就像亞倫可以成為祭司長，也是上帝親自的作為。然而人的年歲有限，不能永遠長存，就像米利暗和亞倫，總有服事的盡頭！

    就連地上的教會也有盡頭的時候，在怎麼樣當上帝的國從天而降的時候，都要轉變，要被提到空中與主相遇，地上的教會就轉化成為上帝永恆的國度了，不再分宗派，在基督裡合而為一了，都成了基督的國了！

    讓我們期盼那日快現，使上帝的榮耀充滿在新天新地，直到永遠！
