撒迦利亞書3:6-10

3:6 耶和華的使者告誡約書亞說：

3:7 「萬軍之耶和華如此說：你若遵行我的道，謹守我的命令，你就可以管理我的家，看守我的院宇；我也要使你在這些站立的人中間來往。

3:8 大祭司約書亞啊，你和坐在你面前的同伴都當聽。（他們是作預兆的。）我必使我僕人大衛的苗裔發出。

3:9 看哪，我在約書亞面前所立的石頭，在一塊石頭上有七眼。萬軍之耶和華說：我要親自雕刻這石頭，並要在一日之間除掉這地的罪孽。

3:10 當那日，你們各人要請鄰舍坐在葡萄樹和無花果樹下。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。」

And the angel of the Lord solemnly assured Joshua, "Thus says the Lord of hosts:If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, then you shall rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among those who are standing here. Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign:behold, I will bring my servant the Branch. For behold, on the stone that I have set before Joshua, on a single stone with seven eyes, I will engrave its inscription, declares the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day. In that day, declares the Lord of hosts, every one of you will invite his neighbor to come under his vine and under his fig tree."

    上帝不僅將任務給約書亞，也預言將來耶穌降生所要做的事：「我必使我僕人大衛的苗裔發出看哪，我在約書亞面前所立的石頭，在一塊石頭上有七眼。萬軍之耶和華說：我要親自雕刻這石頭，並要在一日之間除掉這地的罪孽。」

    而耶穌基督在十字架上所完成的，就是「在一日之間除掉這地的罪孽」！而且基督一次的獻上，就成就了永遠的潔淨，使屬乎基督的人都成了聖潔，可以站在上帝面前，服事上帝。

    因此，屬上帝之人的聖潔，是要靠耶穌基督而來的，不是人可以自己努力來的！

撒迦利亞書3:1-5

3:1 天使（原文是他）又指給我看：大祭司約書亞站在耶和華的使者面前；撒但也站在約書亞的右邊，與他作對。

3:2 耶和華向撒但說：「撒但哪，耶和華責備你！就是揀選耶路撒冷的耶和華責備你！這不是從火中抽出來的一根柴嗎？」

3:3 約書亞穿著污穢的衣服站在使者面前。

3:4 使者吩咐站在面前的說：「你們要脫去他污穢的衣服」；又對約書亞說：「我使你脫離罪孽，要給你穿上華美的衣服。」

3:5 我說：「要將潔淨的冠冕戴在他頭上。」他們就把潔淨的冠冕戴在他頭上，給他穿上華美的衣服，耶和華的使者在旁邊站立。

Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. And the Lord said to Satan, "The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?" Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments. And the angel said to those who were standing before him, "Remove the filthy garments from him." And to him he said, "Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments." And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord was standing by.

    我們從這段經文中看見上帝揀選人服事祂，就如大祭司約書亞一樣，「是從火中抽出來的一根柴」！

    是的！若不是上帝的拯救，我們的命運就是地獄的柴火，是要焚燒到滅盡的，若不是上帝的憐憫，我們是無法脫離這樣的命運的！

    而我們被蒙揀選來服事上帝，雖然沾染這世界的罪污，但是上帝卻差派天使，脫去他污穢的衣服，使他脫離罪孽，要給他穿上華美的衣服，就把潔淨的冠冕戴在他頭上，這是何等的恩典啊！

    上帝的賜福就是如此！

撒迦利亞書2:10-13

2:10 錫安城啊，應當歡樂歌唱，因為我來要住在你中間。這是耶和華說的。

2:11 那時，必有許多國歸附耶和華，作他（原文是我）的子民。他（原文是我）要住在你中間，你就知道萬軍之耶和華差遣我到你那裡去了。

2:12 耶和華必收回猶大作他聖地的分，也必再揀選耶路撒冷。

2:13 凡有血氣的都當在耶和華面前靜默無聲；因為他興起，從聖所出來了。

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for behold, I come and I will dwell in your midst, declares the Lord. And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people. And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. And the Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem."

Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.

    這是說到末後的日子，上帝要親自坐王，上帝要使屬祂的猶大地和耶路撒冷再次被高舉！所以，屬乎上帝的人要為上帝的作為歡呼，祂的國要降臨在地上，地上和天上將在基督裡合為一，基督永遠掌權做王！

撒迦利亞書2:6-9

2:6 耶和華說：「我從前分散你們在天的四方（原文是猶如天的四風），現在你們要從北方之地逃回。這是耶和華說的。

2:7 與巴比倫人同住的錫安民哪，應當逃脫。

2:8 萬軍之耶和華說，在顯出榮耀之後，差遣我去懲罰那擄掠你們的列國，摸你們的就是摸他眼中的瞳人。

2:9 看哪，我（或譯：他）要向他們掄手，他們就必作服事他們之人的擄物，你們便知道萬軍之耶和華差遣我了。

Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north, declares the Lord. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heavens, declares the Lord.  Up! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.  For thus said the Lord of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye: "Behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.

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

    上帝雖然讓以色列人被亞述和巴比倫兩大強權滅了南國和北國，但是上帝仍然是看顧以色列人，沒有讓他們滅種，仍然可以回到故土。不僅如此，亞述被巴底倫滅了，巴比倫被波斯滅了，上帝真的進行審判。

    同樣今日的基督徒，我們也要看見上帝的作為，祂也必保守我們。甚至在末世完全得贖的時候，上帝要勝過一切的仇敵，親自坐王！

    我們要歡慶！上帝一定會做王，基督就是我們的王，將來我們更要同基督做王！

2:1 我又舉目觀看，見一人手拿準繩。

2:2 我說：「你往哪裡去？」他對我說：「要去量耶路撒冷，看有多寬多長。」

2:3 與我說話的天使去的時候，又有一位天使迎著他來，

2:4 對他說：「你跑去告訴那少年人說，耶路撒冷必有人居住，好像無城牆的鄉村，因為人民和牲畜甚多。

2:5 耶和華說：我要作耶路撒冷四圍的火城，並要作其中的榮耀。」

And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand!  Then I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length." And behold, the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him and said to him, "Run, say to that young man, 'Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of people and livestock in it. And I will be to her a wall of fire all around, declares the Lord, and I will be the glory in her midst. '"

    上帝要使敗落的耶路撒冷再次被建造起來，這是上帝要以色列人知道：上帝並不是永遠棄絕他們。上帝要再一次復興他們，使他們得以再被高舉，只要他們肯悔改歸向上帝。

    以色列人可以歸回故土，重建新的耶路撒冷。上帝也可使人重生，離開罪惡！上帝的救贖是必定成就的！

    讓我們相信：上帝在基督裡的拯救是必定成就的！
