以西結書39:9-16



39:9 「住以色列城邑的人必出去撿器械,就是大小盾牌、弓箭、梃杖、槍矛,都當柴燒火,直燒七年,
39:10 甚至他們不必從田野撿柴,也不必從樹林伐木;因為他們要用器械燒火,並且搶奪那搶奪他們的人,擄掠那擄掠他們的人。這是主耶和華說的。」
39:11 「當那日,我必將以色列地的谷,就是海東人所經過的谷,賜給歌革為墳地,使經過的人到此停步。在那裡人必葬埋歌革和他的群眾,就稱那地為哈們‧歌革谷。
39:12 以色列家的人必用七個月葬埋他們,為要潔淨全地。
39:13 全地的居民都必葬埋他們。當我得榮耀的日子,這事必叫他們得名聲。這是主耶和華說的。
39:14 他們必分派人時常巡查遍地,與過路的人一同葬埋那剩在地面上的屍首,好潔淨全地。過了七個月,他們還要巡查。
39:15 巡查遍地的人要經過全地,見有人的骸骨,就在旁邊立一標記,等葬埋的人來將骸骨葬在哈們‧歌革谷。
39:16 他們必這樣潔淨那地,並有一城名叫哈摩那。

9 "Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and make fires of the weapons and burn them, shields and bucklers, bow and arrows, clubs and spears; and they will make fires of them for seven years, 10 so that they will not need to take wood out of the field or cut down any out of the forests, for they will make their fires of the weapons. They will seize the spoil of those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, declares the Lord God.
11 "On that day I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers, east of the sea. It will block the travelers, for there Gog and all his multitude will be buried. It will be called the Valley of Hamon- gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land. 13 All the people of the land will bury them, and it will bring them renown on the day that I show my glory, declares the Lord God. 14 They will set apart men to travel through the land regularly and bury those travelers remaining on the face of the land, so as to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make their search. 15 And when these travel through the land and anyone sees a human bone, then he shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon- gog. 16 (Hamonah is also the name of the city.) Thus shall they cleanse the land.

    從先知的預言知道這是多麼激烈的戰爭,讓我們看見死傷的慘重,也看見一切的武器最後都要當柴燒,還要燒到七年之久不僅如此,要埋葬那些死亡的軍人,還要花七個月的時間,最後還要經過七個月來行潔淨

    這樣的預言說明,人是無法與上帝爭抗的,即使再多人、再多的軍隊,也不堪上帝一擊,上帝要保守的,誰也無法將其打敗的

    感謝上帝,祂在基督裡,也必這樣保守我們,甚至死亡都無法傷害我們呢

以西結書39:1-8



39:1 「人子啊,你要向歌革發預言攻擊他,說主耶和華如此說:羅施、米設、土巴的王歌革啊,我與你為敵。
39:2 我必調轉你,領你前往,使你從北方的極處上來,帶你到以色列的山上。
39:3 我必從你左手打落你的弓,從你右手打掉你的箭。
39:4 你和你的軍隊,並同著你的列國人,都必倒在以色列的山上。我必將你給各類的鷙鳥和田野的走獸作食物。
39:5 你必倒在田野,因為我曾說過。這是主耶和華說的。
39:6 我要降火在瑪各和海島安然居住的人身上,他們就知道我是耶和華。
39:7 「我要在我民以色列中顯出我的聖名,也不容我的聖名再被褻瀆,列國人就知道我是耶和華─以色列中的聖者。
39:8 主耶和華說:這日事情臨近,也必成就,乃是我所說的日子。

1 "And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, Thus says the Lord God:Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. 2 And I will turn you about and drive you forward, and bring you up from the uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will strike your bow from your left hand, and will make your arrows drop out of your right hand. 4 You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your hordes and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Lord God. 6 I will send fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
7 "And my holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not let my holy name be profaned anymore. And the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. 8 Behold, it is coming and it will be brought about, declares the Lord God. That is the day of which I have spoken.
9 "Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and make fires of the weapons and burn them, shields and bucklers, bow and arrows, clubs and spears; and they will make fires of them for seven years, 10 so that they will not need to take wood out of the field or cut down any out of the forests, for they will make their fires of the weapons. They will seize the spoil of those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, declares the Lord God.

    在這裡看見上帝的意志,祂要保護以色列免受強權的攻擊,要攻擊那要侵略以色列、破壞以色列安寧的歌革王和他的軍隊。

    這段預言讓我們有很大的激勵,因為上帝特別強調:「我要在我民以色列中顯出我的聖名,也不容我的聖名再被褻瀆,列國人就知道我是耶和華─以色列中的聖者。主耶和華說:這日事情臨近,也必成就,乃是我所說的日子。」

    我們許多時候,只看見人的囂張,就受到驚嚇與恐嚇,忘記上帝的能力是大於惡人的,上帝必定會申冤的,祂必保守祂的子民到底就如祂以耶穌基督來完成救恩,使祂的眾子女,從現在開始到末世的時候,必定得著永遠的勝利

以西結書38:10-23



38:10 主耶和華如此說:「到那時,你心必起意念,圖謀惡計,
38:11 說:『我要上那無城牆的鄉村,我要到那安靜的民那裡,他們都沒有城牆,無門、無閂,安然居住。
38:12 我去要搶財為擄物,奪貨為掠物,反手攻擊那從前荒涼、現在有人居住之地,又攻擊那住世界中間、從列國招聚、得了牲畜財貨的民。』
38:13 示巴人、底但人、他施的客商,和其間的少壯獅子都必問你說:『你來要搶財為擄物嗎?你聚集軍隊要奪貨為掠物嗎?要奪取金銀,擄去牲畜、財貨嗎?要搶奪許多財寶為擄物嗎?』
38:14 「人子啊,你要因此發預言,對歌革說,主耶和華如此說:到我民以色列安然居住之日,你豈不知道嗎?
38:15 你必從本地,從北方的極處率領許多國的民來,都騎著馬,乃一大隊極多的軍兵。
38:16 歌革啊,你必上來攻擊我的民以色列,如密雲遮蓋地面。末後的日子,我必帶你來攻擊我的地,到我在外邦人眼前,在你身上顯為聖的時候,好叫他們認識我。
38:17 主耶和華如此說:我在古時藉我的僕人以色列的先知所說的,就是你嗎?當日他們多年預言我必帶你來攻擊以色列人。」
38:18 主耶和華說:「歌革上來攻擊以色列地的時候,我的怒氣要從鼻孔裡發出。
38:19 我發憤恨和烈怒如火說:那日在以色列地必有大震動,
38:20 甚至海中的魚、天空的鳥、田野的獸,並地上的一切昆蟲,和其上的眾人,因見我的面就都震動;山嶺必崩裂,陡巖必塌陷,牆垣都必坍倒。」
38:21 主耶和華說:「我必命我的諸山發刀劍來攻擊歌革;人都要用刀劍殺害弟兄。
38:22 我必用瘟疫和流血的事刑罰他。我也必將暴雨、大雹與火,並硫磺降與他和他的軍隊,並他所率領的眾民。
38:23 我必顯為大,顯為聖,在多國人的眼前顯現;他們就知道我是耶和華。」

10 "Thus says the Lord God:On that day, thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme 11 and say, 'I will go up against the land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,' 12 to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and the people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell at the center of the earth. 13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all its leaders will say to you, 'Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to seize great spoil? '
14 "Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord God:On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know it? 15 You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army. 16 You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.
17 "Thus says the Lord God:Are you he of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them? 18 But on that day, the day that Gog shall come against the land of Israel, declares the Lord God, my wrath will be roused in my anger. 19 For in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 The fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people who are on the face of the earth, shall quake at my presence. And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall tumble to the ground. 21 I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Lord God. Every man's sword will be against his brother. 22 With pestilence and bloodshed I will enter into judgment with him, and I will rain upon him and his hordes and the many peoples who are with him torrential rains and hailstones, fire and sulfur. 23 So I will show my greatness and my holiness and make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

    我們在此看見上帝要保守祂的子民以色列,不管敵人的氣焰是如何的囂張,人數是如何的眾多!上帝必定要勝過,因為人豈能與創造天地的主相抵抗呢?人怎能勝過上帝呢?但是不管是人或是魔鬼,常常輕看上帝和上帝的作為!之所以如此就是驕傲造成的!

    那人如何才不會為驕傲所轄制呢就是要信靠耶穌基督在基督裡人才能真正認識上帝才能認識上帝的榮耀尊貴和能力才會將榮耀歸給上帝才會伏在上帝的帶領之下才不會悖逆上帝

    因此,基督信仰強調「因信稱義」,不強調「靠行為成義」,就是要避免:人自以為有辦法而不倚靠上帝,甚至與上帝作對並反抗!因此,信靠上帝是我們為主所用之首要因素,在基督裡一定要否定自己,讓基督來作主,才能在上帝的恩典下,享受祂的同在

以西結書38:1-9



38:1 耶和華的話臨到我說:
38:2 「人子啊,你要面向瑪各地的歌革,就是羅施、米設、土巴的王發預言攻擊他,
38:3 說主耶和華如此說:羅施、米設、土巴的王歌革啊,我與你為敵。
38:4 我必用鉤子鉤住你的腮頰,調轉你,將你和你的軍兵、馬匹、馬兵帶出來,都披掛整齊,成了大隊,有大小盾牌,各拿刀劍。
38:5 波斯人、古實人,和弗人(又作利比亞人),各拿盾牌,頭上戴盔;
38:6 歌篾人和他的軍隊,北方極處的陀迦瑪族和他的軍隊,這許多國的民都同著你。
38:7 「那聚集到你這裡的各隊都當準備;你自己也要準備,作他們的大帥。
38:8 過了多日,你必被差派。到末後之年,你必來到脫離刀劍從列國收回之地,到以色列常久荒涼的山上;但那從列國中招聚出來的必在其上安然居住。
38:9 你和你的軍隊,並同著你許多國的民,必如暴風上來,如密雲遮蓋地面。」

1 The word of the Lord came to me:2 "Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him 3 and say, Thus says the Lord God:Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. 4 And I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of them with buckler and shield, wielding swords. 5 Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer and all his hordes; Beth- togarmah from the uttermost parts of the north with all his hordes— many peoples are with you.
7 "Be ready and keep ready, you and all your hosts that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. 8 After many days you will be mustered. In the latter years you will go against the land that is restored from war, the land whose people were gathered from many peoples upon the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the peoples and now dwell securely, all of them. 9 You will advance, coming on like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.

    這裡讓我們看見上帝要先知用話去攻擊做王的歌革。這裡讓我們看見上帝是掌握歷史的上帝,尤其是各樣的國際情勢都在上帝的手中。而上帝執意要保守以色列的平安,世界的動盪不影響以色列的

    這個歌革王想破壞世界的安定但是上帝的計畫是不改變的祂必保守祂的子民十分安定

    同樣今日祂也要保守祂的聖徒十分平安雖然今日基督徒仍然面對迫害但是上帝卻讓教會安全穩固在這世上傳揚福音我們不要害怕惡勢力的囂張最後的勝利是屬於上帝和祂的子民的耶穌基督已經完成關鍵的勝利了
