撒迦利亞書6章

              撒迦利亞書6:1-8   ,  撒迦利亞書6:9-15   ,

撒迦利亞書6:1-8

6:1 我又舉目觀看，見有四輛車從兩山中間出來；那山是銅山。

6:2 第一輛車套著紅馬，第二輛車套著黑馬。

6:3 第三輛車套著白馬，第四輛車套著有斑點的壯馬。

6:4 我就問與我說話的天使說：「主啊，這是甚麼意思？」

6:5 天使回答我說：「這是天的四風，是從普天下的主面前出來的。」

6:6 套著黑馬的車往北方去，白馬跟隨在後；有斑點的馬往南方去。

6:7 壯馬出來，要在遍地走來走去。天使說：「你們只管在遍地走來走去。」牠們就照樣行了。

6:8 他又呼叫我說：「看哪，往北方去的已在北方安慰我的心。」

Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses, 3 the third white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses—all of them strong. 4 Then I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?" 5 And the angel answered and said to me, "These are going out to the four winds of heaven, after presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The chariot with the black horses goes toward the north country, the white ones go after them, and the dappled ones go toward the south country." 7 When the strong horses came out, they were impatient to go and patrol the earth. And he said, "Go, patrol the earth." So they patrolled the earth. 8 Then he cried to me, "Behold, those who go toward the north country have set my Spirit at rest in the north country."

    這個異象也是超乎我們所能理解的，但是我們知道上帝如此行是要「使祂的靈在那裏安息」，也就是說上帝要使人得安息，使人歸向祂，祂的靈才會得安息！

撒迦利亞書5:5-11

5:5 與我說話的天使出來，對我說：「你要舉目觀看，見所出來的是甚麼？」

5:6 我說：「這是甚麼呢？」他說：「這出來的是量器。」他又說：「這是惡人在遍地的形狀。」

5:7 （我見有一片圓鉛被舉起來。）這坐在量器中的是個婦人。

5:8 天使說：「這是罪惡。」他就把婦人扔在量器中，將那片圓鉛扔在量器的口上。

5:9 我又舉目觀看，見有兩個婦人出來，在她們翅膀中有風，飛得甚快，翅膀如同鸛鳥的翅膀。她們將量器抬起來，懸在天地中間。

5:10 我問與我說話的天使說：「她們要將量器抬到哪裡去呢？」

5:11 他對我說：「要往示拿地去，為它蓋造房屋；等房屋齊備，就把它安置在自己的地方。」

Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, "Lift your eyes and see what this is that is going out." And I said, "What is it?" He said, "This is the basket that is going out." And he said, "This is their iniquity in all the land." And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket! And he said, "This is Wickedness." And he thrust her back into the basket, and thrust down the leaden weight on its opening.

Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings. They had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they taking the basket?" He said to me, "To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it. And when this is prepared, they will set the basket down there on its base."

    雖然這個異象讓人看不太懂，但是我們相信：罪這件事是使人喜愛，並且沉溺在其中，以它為樂，為生活的引導。也因此人需要常常回到上帝面前，讓上帝光照出我們的樣式。

    我們不是說自己好，而是我們真的需要耶穌基督的寶血和聖靈的光照，我們才能一步一步離開罪的影響，越來越有基督的形像在我們心中。這就是基督徒的成長之路。

撒迦利亞書5章

        撒迦利亞書5:1-4      ,   撒迦利亞書5:5-11   ,

撒迦利亞書5:1-4

5:1 我又舉目觀看，見有一飛行書卷。

5:2 他問我說：「你看見甚麼？」我回答說：「我看見一飛行的書卷，長二十肘，寬十肘。」

5:3 他對我說：「這是發出行在遍地上的咒詛。凡偷竊的必按卷上這面的話除滅；凡起假誓的必按卷上那面的話除滅。

5:4 萬軍之耶和華說：我必使這書卷出去，進入偷竊人的家和指我名起假誓人的家，必常在他家裡，連房屋帶木石都毀滅了。」

Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll!  And he said to me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits."  Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land. For everyone who steals shall be cleaned out according to what is on one side, and everyone who swears falsely shall be cleaned out according to what is on the other side.  I will send it out, declares the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of him who swears falsely by my name. And it shall remain in his house and consume it, both timber and stones."

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

    這個異象說明上帝的審判是明確的，不在於罪的大小，即使是偷竊和起假誓，也必被除滅！

    也因此我們要常常靠耶穌基督的寶血來喜潔淨我們的一切罪，不管是大罪或小罪，一一在主面前尋求幫助，讓我們成為聖潔無有瑕疵的人！

撒迦利亞書4:8-14

4:8 耶和華的話又臨到我說：

4:9 「所羅巴伯的手立了這殿的根基，他的手也必完成這工，你就知道萬軍之耶和華差遣我到你們這裡來了。

4:10 誰藐視這日的事為小呢？這七眼乃是耶和華的眼睛，遍察全地，見所羅巴伯手拿線鉈就歡喜。」

4:11 我又問天使說：「這燈臺左右的兩棵橄欖樹是甚麼意思？」

4:12 我二次問他說：「這兩根橄欖枝在兩個流出金色油的金嘴旁邊是甚麼意思？」

4:13 他對我說：「你不知道這是甚麼意思麼？」我說：「主啊，我不知道。」

4:14 他說：「這是兩個受膏者站在普天下主的旁邊。」

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.

 "These seven are the eyes of the Lord, which range through the whole earth."  Then I said to him, "What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?" And a second time I answered and said to him, "What are these two branches of the olive trees, which are beside the two golden pipes from which the golden oil is poured out?"  He said to me, "Do you not know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord." Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."

    所羅巴伯和約書亞，兩個受膏者站在普天下主的旁邊，成為上帝的代表，要重建耶路撒冷，使上帝的帳幕在人間。雖然他們是軟弱與有罪的人，但是上帝要使用他們！

    正如今日，我們在基督裡，雖然也是軟弱與有罪的人，可使上帝卻要使用我們這些卑微的人，來彰顯他的榮耀，而成為尊貴的人！

    因此，不是我們比別人好，完全是上帝的恩典，肯使用我們成為祂榮耀的出口！
