撒迦利亞書14:6-11

14:6 那日，必沒有光，三光必退縮。

14:7 那日，必是耶和華所知道的，不是白晝，也不是黑夜，到了晚上才有光明。

14:8 那日，必有活水從耶路撒冷出來，一半往東海流，一半往西海流；冬夏都是如此。

14:9 耶和華必作全地的王。那日耶和華必為獨一無二的，他的名也是獨一無二的。

14:10 全地，從迦巴直到耶路撒冷南方的臨門，要變為亞拉巴。耶路撒冷必仍居高位，就是從便雅憫門到第一門之處，又到角門，並從哈楠業樓，直到王的酒醡。

14:11 人必住在其中，不再有咒詛。耶路撒冷人必安然居住。

On that day there shall be no light, cold, or frost. And there shall be a unique day, which is known to the Lord, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light.

On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea. It shall continue in summer as in winter.

And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be one and his name one.

The whole land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem shall remain aloft on its site from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses. And it shall be inhabited, for there shall never again be a decree of utter destruction. Jerusalem shall dwell in security.

    在這裡看見先知的預言也是指向末日上帝國的實現，讓我們感受到上帝的心意就是要讓祂的公義實現，讓祂自己完完全全掌權，勝過一切罪惡的力量，使世界重新回復平靜安穩！

    所以，我們要透過上帝的話，來認識上帝永恆的預備，盼望那日快快實現！

撒迦利亞書14:1-5

14:1 耶和華的日子臨近，你的財物必被搶掠，在你中間分散。

14:2 因為我必聚集萬國與耶路撒冷爭戰，城必被攻取，房屋被搶奪，婦女被玷污，城中的民一半被擄去；剩下的民仍在城中，不致剪除。

14:3 那時，耶和華必出去與那些國爭戰，好像從前爭戰一樣。

14:4 那日，他的腳必站在耶路撒冷前面朝東的橄欖山上。這山必從中間分裂，自東至西成為極大的谷。山的一半向北挪移，一半向南挪移。

14:5 你們要從我山的谷中逃跑，因為山谷必延到亞薩。你們逃跑，必如猶大王烏西雅年間的人逃避大地震一樣。耶和華─我的上帝必降臨，有一切聖者同來。

Behold, a day is coming for the Lord, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward. And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.

**********

    這個預言提醒我們將來主耶穌再次降臨的情況，讓我們感受到人世間的混亂與不平安！因為人性受到罪的影響，即使受到在高的教育，再好的道德修養，這些都是外在的作為，唯有生命的改變才能解決人性中罪的問題。

    所以，罪的問題是人類混亂的根源，人唯有靠耶穌基督的寶血洗淨，才能解決罪的問題。但是，真正解決罪的問題，要在耶穌再來之時才能完成。讓我們憑著信心等候那日快來！

撒迦利亞書13:7-9

13:7 萬軍之耶和華說：刀劍哪，應當興起，攻擊我的牧人和我的同伴。擊打牧人，羊就分散；我必反手加在微小者的身上。

13:8 耶和華說：這全地的人，三分之二必剪除而死，三分之一仍必存留。

13:9 我要使這三分之一經火，熬煉他們，如熬煉銀子；試煉他們，如試煉金子。他們必求告我的名，我必應允他們。我要說：這是我的子民。他們也要說：耶和華是我們的上帝。

"Awake, O sword, against my shepherd,

against the man who stands next to me,"

declares the Lord of hosts.

 "Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered;

I will turn my hand against the little ones.

In the whole land, declares the Lord,

two thirds shall be cut off and perish,

 and one third shall be left alive.

And I will put this third into the fire,

and refine them as one refines silver,

and test them as gold is tested.

 They will call upon my name,

and I will answer them.

 I will say, 'They are my people';

and they will say, 'The Lord is my God. '"

*******

    這段經文好像是支持「災後被提說」，因為最後被主所保守人，是「經火，熬煉他們，如熬煉銀子；試煉他們，如試煉金子」。

    然而這群人的特質是：「他們必求告我的名」。然而上帝應許：「我必應允他們。我要說：這是我的子民。他們也要說：耶和華是我們的上帝」。

    你是不是有這樣的認定呢？求主幫助我們，使我們能堅定信靠祂。

撒迦利亞書13:1-6

13:1 那日，必給大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民開一個泉源，洗除罪惡與污穢。

13:2 萬軍之耶和華說：「那日，我必從地上除滅偶像的名，不再被人記念；也必使這地不再有假先知與污穢的靈。

13:3 若再有人說預言，生他的父母必對他說：『你不得存活，因為你託耶和華的名說假預言。』生他的父母在他說預言的時候，要將他刺透。

13:4 那日，凡作先知說預言的必因他所論的異象羞愧，不再穿毛衣哄騙人。

13:5 他必說：『我不是先知，我是耕地的；我從幼年作人的奴僕。』

13:6 必有人問他說：『你兩臂中間是甚麼傷呢？』他必回答說：『這是我在親友家中所受的傷。』」

"On that day there shall be a fountain opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and uncleanness.

"And on that day, declares the Lord of hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, so that they shall be remembered no more. And also I will remove from the land the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness. And if anyone again prophesies, his father and mother who bore him will say to him, 'You shall not live, for you speak lies in the name of the Lord. ' And his father and mother who bore him shall pierce him through when he prophesies.

"On that day every prophet will be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies. He will not put on a hairy cloak in order to deceive, but he will say, 'I am no prophet, I am a worker of the soil, for a man sold me in my youth. ' And if one asks him, 'What are these wounds on your back? ' he will say, 'The wounds I received in the house of my friends. '

************

    在這裡讓我們看見耶穌基督的來臨之後，除了洗淨人的罪，就是禁止說「預言」和不再拜偶像，因為一切的啟示已經完全了！上帝要親自坐王，治理一切，偶像不能再欺騙人了！人也不需要偶像，人要來尋求上帝，靠耶穌才能獲得拯救！

    因此，在我們基督徒當中，不要高舉人為先知，也不要做發預言的人，這些都是出於偶像崇拜。唯有聖經，才是我們的依歸，講道或傳信息，都要以聖經為依歸。

撒迦利亞書12:10-14

12:10 我必將那施恩叫人懇求的靈，澆灌大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民。他們必仰望我（或譯：他；本節同），就是他們所扎的；必為我悲哀，如喪獨生子，又為我愁苦，如喪長子。

12:11 那日，耶路撒冷必有大大的悲哀，如米吉多平原之哈達臨門的悲哀。

12:12 境內一家一家地都必悲哀。大衛家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。拿單家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。

12:13 利未家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。示每家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。

12:14 其餘的各家，男的獨在一處，女的獨在一處。

“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.  On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.  The land shall mourn, each family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;  the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the Shimeites by itself, and their wives by themselves;  and all the families that are left, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.

上帝要把聖靈澆灌耶路撒冷的居民，讓他們仰望彌賽亞，為彌賽亞悲哀。
