以西結書13:1-16

13:1 耶和華的話臨到我說：

13:2 「人子啊，你要說預言攻擊以色列中說預言的先知，對那些本己心發預言的說：『你們當聽耶和華的話。』」

13:3 主耶和華如此說：「愚頑的先知有禍了，他們隨從自己的心意，卻一無所見。

13:4 以色列啊，你的先知好像荒場中的狐狸，

13:5 沒有上去堵擋破口，也沒有為以色列家重修牆垣，使他們當耶和華的日子在陣上站立得住。

13:6 這些人所見的是虛假，是謊詐的占卜。他們說是耶和華說的，其實耶和華並沒有差遣他們，他們倒使人指望那話必然立定。

13:7 你們豈不是見了虛假的異象嗎？豈不是說了謊詐的占卜嗎？你們說，這是耶和華說的，其實我沒有說。」

13:8 所以主耶和華如此說：「因你們說的是虛假，見的是謊詐，我就與你們反對。這是主耶和華說的。

13:9 我的手必攻擊那見虛假異象、用謊詐占卜的先知，他們必不列在我百姓的會中，不錄在以色列家的冊上，也不進入以色列地；你們就知道我是主耶和華。

13:10 因為他們誘惑我的百姓，說：『平安！』其實沒有平安，就像有人立起牆壁，他們倒用未泡透的灰抹上。

13:11 所以你要對那些抹上未泡透灰的人說：『牆要倒塌，必有暴雨漫過。大冰雹啊，你們要降下，狂風也要吹裂這牆。』

13:12 這牆倒塌之後，人豈不問你們說：『你們抹上未泡透的灰在哪裡呢？』」

13:13 所以主耶和華如此說：「我要發怒，使狂風吹裂這牆，在怒中使暴雨漫過，又發怒降下大冰雹，毀滅這牆。

13:14 我要這樣拆毀你們那未泡透灰所抹的牆，拆平到地，以致根基露出，牆必倒塌，你們也必在其中滅亡；你們就知道我是耶和華。

13:15 我要這樣向牆和用未泡透灰抹牆的人成就我怒中所定的，並要對你們說：『牆和抹牆的人都沒有了。』

13:16 這抹牆的就是以色列的先知，他們指著耶路撒冷說預言，為這城見了平安的異象，其實沒有平安。這是主耶和華說的。」

1 The word of the Lord came to me:2 "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, and say to those who prophesy from their own hearts:'Hear the word of the Lord! ' 3 Thus says the Lord God, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! 4 Your prophets have been like jackals among ruins, O Israel. 5 You have not gone up into the breaches, or built up a wall for the house of Israel, that it might stand in battle in the day of the Lord. 6 They have seen false visions and lying divinations. They say, 'Declares the Lord, ' when the Lord has not sent them, and yet they expect him to fulfill their word. 7 Have you not seen a false vision and uttered a lying divination, whenever you have said, 'Declares the Lord, ' although I have not spoken?"

8 Therefore thus says the Lord God:"Because you have uttered falsehood and seen lying visions, therefore behold, I am against you, declares the Lord God. My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who give lying divinations. They shall not be in the council of my people, nor be enrolled in the register of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord God. 10 Precisely because they have misled my people, saying, 'Peace,' when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, these prophets smear it with whitewash, 11 say to those who smear it with whitewash that it shall fall! There will be a deluge of rain, and you, O great hailstones, will fall, and a stormy wind break out. 12 And when the wall falls, will it not be said to you, 'Where is the coating with which you smeared it? ' 13 Therefore thus says the Lord God: I will make a stormy wind break out in my wrath, and there shall be a deluge of rain in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to make a full end. 14 And I will break down the wall that you have smeared with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it falls, you shall perish in the midst of it, and you shall know that I am the Lord. 15 Thus will I spend my wrath upon the wall and upon those who have smeared it with whitewash, and I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor those who smeared it, 16 the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her, when there was no peace, declares the Lord God.

    真先知常常會遇到假先知對抗的問題，連以西結也遇到這樣的問題。而假先知通常是為了自己的利益說假的預言，來討好當時的人。以至於有些人利用這種特質，將錢給先知，要先知說他們要說的話來蠱惑人心。

    說到這裡，傳講上帝的話語的人必須中心傳講上帝的話，這是我們必須要的基本認識，不是為了肚腹，不可討好人，要堅持牧者的使命。因為上帝將教會交託給我們，這一群人是用基督寶血贖回來的，上帝看為寶貝，不能讓他們沉淪。

    讓我們每一個傳道者，都成為真先知，讓上帝的話從我們中間流出，使弟兄姊妹的生命獲得餵養與更新，這才才沒有虧負上帝的選召。

腓立比書4:19

我的上帝必照他榮耀的豐富，在基督耶穌裡，使你們一切所需用的都充足。

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

    保羅在此宣告：上帝要在基督裡，使我們一切所需用地都充足！記住，我們不可以脫離上帝賜福的基礎，就是要在基督裡，這是非常重要！若不再基督裡，即使是豐富的，也是沒有意義的！

    也因為如此，我們若要蒙上帝賜福，想受上帝的一切豐富，而且是榮耀的豐富，就必須讓我們先在基督裡，也就是願意信靠基督，使基督成為我們的主，我們的生命才會享受到上帝的豐盛賜福！

    我們不要在基督以外想要得著上帝所賜的豐盛，那是不可能的事。怪不得基督宣告：「盜賊來，無非要偷竊，殺害，毀壞；我來了，是要叫羊（或譯：人）得生命，並且得的更豐盛。」

    快！快來進入基督裡，才能進入上帝的豐盛賜福中！

以西結書12:17-28

12:17 耶和華的話又臨到我說：

12:18 「人子啊，你吃飯必膽戰，喝水必惶惶憂慮。

12:19 你要對這地的百姓說：主耶和華論耶路撒冷和以色列地的居民如此說，他們吃飯必憂慮，喝水必驚惶。因其中居住的眾人所行強暴的事，這地必然荒廢，一無所存。

12:20 有居民的城邑必變為荒場，地也必變為荒廢；你們就知道我是耶和華。」

12:21 耶和華的話臨到我說：

12:22 「人子啊，在你們以色列地怎麼有這俗語，說『日子遲延，一切異象都落了空』呢？

12:23 你要告訴他們說：『主耶和華如此說：我必使這俗語止息，以色列中不再用這俗語。』你卻要對他們說：『日子臨近，一切的異象必都應驗。』

12:24 從此，在以色列家中必不再有虛假的異象和奉承的占卜。

12:25 我─耶和華說話，所說的必定成就，不再耽延。你們這悖逆之家，我所說的話必趁你們在世的日子成就。這是主耶和華說的。」

12:26 耶和華的話又臨到我說：

12:27 「人子啊，以色列家的人說：『他所見的異象是關乎後來許多的日子，所說的預言是指著極遠的時候。』

12:28 所以你要對他們說：『主耶和華如此說：我的話沒有一句再耽延的，我所說的必定成就。這是主耶和華說的。』」

17 And the word of the Lord came to me:18 "Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink water with trembling and with anxiety. 19 And say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord God concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink water in dismay. In this way her land will be stripped of all it contains, on account of the violence of all those who dwell in it. 20 And the inhabited cities shall be laid waste, and the land shall become a desolation; and you shall know that I am the Lord."

21 And the word of the Lord came to me:22 "Son of man, what is this proverb that you have about the land of Israel, saying, 'The days grow long, and every vision comes to nothing'? 23 Tell them therefore, 'Thus says the Lord God:I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel. ' But say to them, The days are near, and the fulfillment of every vision. 24 For there shall be no more any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. 25 For I am the Lord; I will speak the word that I will speak, and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, but in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord God."

26 And the word of the Lord came to me:27 "Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, 'The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off. ' 28 Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: None of my words will be delayed any longer, but the word that I speak will be performed, declares the Lord God."

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

    上帝藉由先知宣告：「我─耶和華說話，所說的必定成就，不再耽延。你們這悖逆之家，我所說的話必趁你們在世的日子成就。」「我的話沒有一句再耽延的，我所說的必定成就。」

    因為上帝藉由以西結先知演出「吃飯必膽戰，喝水必惶惶憂慮」，要讓以色列人警戒，使他們不至於輕忽上帝的預言！

    而對基督徒而言，耶穌基督的再來，不要以為耽延，是必然的事情，要隨時準備好！

以西結書12:1-16

12:1 耶和華的話又臨到我說：

12:2 「人子啊，你住在悖逆的家中。他們有眼睛看不見，有耳朵聽不見，因為他們是悖逆之家。

12:3 所以人子啊，你要預備擄去使用的物件，在白日當他們眼前從你所住的地方移到別處去；他們雖是悖逆之家，或者可以揣摩思想。

12:4 你要在白日當他們眼前帶出你的物件去，好像預備擄去使用的物件。到了晚上，你要在他們眼前親自出去，像被擄的人出去一樣。

12:5 你要在他們眼前挖通了牆，從其中將物件帶出去。

12:6 到天黑時，你要當他們眼前搭在肩頭上帶出去，並要蒙住臉看不見地，因為我立你作以色列家的預兆。」

12:7 我就照著所吩咐的去行，白日帶出我的物件，好像預備擄去使用的物件。到了晚上，我用手挖通了牆。天黑的時候，就當他們眼前搭在肩頭上帶出去。

12:8 次日早晨，耶和華的話臨到我說：

12:9 「人子啊，以色列家，就是那悖逆之家，豈不是問你說：『你做什麼呢？』

12:10 你要對他們說：『主耶和華如此說：這是關乎耶路撒冷的君王和他周圍以色列全家的預表（原文是擔子）。』

12:11 你要說：『我作你們的預兆：我怎樣行，他們所遭遇的也必怎樣，他們必被擄去。』

12:12 他們中間的君王也必在天黑的時候將物件搭在肩頭上帶出去。他們要挖通了牆，從其中帶出去。他必蒙住臉，眼看不見地。

12:13 我必將我的網撒在他身上，他必在我的網羅中纏住。我必帶他到迦勒底人之地的巴比倫；他雖死在那裡，卻看不見那地。

12:14 周圍一切幫助他的和他所有的軍隊，我必分散四方（方：原文是風），也要拔刀追趕他們。

12:15 我將他們四散在列國、分散在列邦的時候，他們就知道我是耶和華。

12:16 我卻要留下他們幾個人得免刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫，使他們在所到的各國中述說他們一切可憎的事，人就知道我是耶和華。」

1 The word of the Lord came to me:2 "Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, who have eyes to see, but see not, who have ears to hear, but hear not, for they are a rebellious house. 3 As for you, son of man, prepare for yourself an exile's baggage, and go into exile by day in their sight. You shall go like an exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house. 4 You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for exile, and you shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as those do who must go into exile. 5 In their sight dig through the wall, and bring your baggage out through it. 6 In their sight you shall lift the baggage upon your shoulder and carry it out at dusk. You shall cover your face that you may not see the land, for I have made you a sign for the house of Israel."

7 And I did as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for exile, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my own hands. I brought out my baggage at dusk, carrying it on my shoulder in their sight.

8 In the morning the word of the Lord came to me:9 "Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, 'What are you doing? ' 10 Say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God:This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are in it. ' 11 Say, 'I am a sign for you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They shall go into exile, into captivity. ' 12 And the prince who is among them shall lift his baggage upon his shoulder at dusk, and shall go out. They shall dig through the wall to bring him out through it. He shall cover his face, that he may not see the land with his eyes. 13 And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare. And I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it, and he shall die there. 14 And I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him, his helpers and all his troops, and I will unsheathe the sword after them. 15 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them among the countries. 16 But I will let a few of them escape from the sword, from famine and pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they go, and may know that I am the Lord."

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

    這是很有確的記載，表演帶被擄的物件與挖牆出去。以西結表演的時候，他也不清楚上帝要他表演的用意是什麼，直到隔天清晨，上帝才說明。而上帝要他表演是因為他面對的是一群「悖逆之家」，而上帝希望他們「或者可以揣摩思想」！

    或許他這樣表演真的引起人的注意，上帝就將要講的訊息藉他說明出去，『我作你們的預兆：我怎樣行，他們所遭遇的也必怎樣，他們必被擄去。』

    

    12-16節這段顯示上帝是親自抓住西底家，也審判以色列人。目標是要讓以色列人可以到各國作見證，讓列國知道上帝。正如列王紀下25章7節所說：「在西底家眼前殺了他的眾子，並且剜了西底家的眼睛，用銅鍊鎖著他，帶到巴比倫去。」

    雖然這是古代發生的事情，卻是今日的借鏡，我們要靠聖靈從悖逆中回轉到上帝面前，上帝讓以色列在悖逆中滅亡，卻透過祂的心意，使被擄的人當中建立起「復興」的力量，藉著「餘種」重新建立新以色列，重新建造聖殿，重新使以色列對耶和華的信仰重新堅定和建立，好完成「預備基督」的使命！
