耶利米書4:19-26



4:19 我的肺腑啊,我的肺腑啊,我心疼痛!我心在我裡面煩躁不安。我不能靜默不言,因為我已經聽見角聲和打仗的喊聲。
4:20 毀壞的信息連絡不絕,因為全地荒廢。我的帳棚忽然毀壞;我的幔子頃刻破裂。
4:21 我看見大旗,聽見角聲,要到幾時呢?
4:22 耶和華說:我的百姓愚頑,不認識我;他們是愚昧無知的兒女,有智慧行惡,沒有知識行善。
4:23 先知說:我觀看地,不料,地是空虛混沌;我觀看天,天也無光。
4:24 我觀看大山,不料,盡都震動,小山也都搖來搖去。
4:25 我觀看,不料,無人;空中的飛鳥也都躲避。
4:26 我觀看,不料,肥田變為荒地;一切城邑在耶和華面前,因他的烈怒都被拆毀。

19 My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain!
Oh the walls of my heart!
My heart is beating wildly;
I cannot keep silent,
for I hear the sound of the trumpet,
the alarm of war.
20 Crash follows hard on crash;
the whole land is laid waste.
 Suddenly my tents are laid waste,
my curtains in a moment.
21 How long must I see the standard
and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 "For my people are foolish;
they know me not;
they are stupid children;
they have no understanding.
 They are 'wise'—in doing evil!
But how to do good they know not."
23 I looked on the earth, and behold, it was without form and void;
 and to the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking,
and all the hills moved to and fro.
25 I looked, and behold, there was no man,
and all the birds of the air had fled.
26 I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a desert,
and all its cities were laid in ruins
before the Lord, before his fierce anger.

    這裡讓我們看見上帝對祂的子民責難:「我的百姓愚頑,不認識我;他們是愚昧無知的兒女,有智慧行惡,沒有知識行善。」

    之所以如此,是因為人不願意悔改,導致人不願意追求真理,以至於對上帝、對真理、對自己是無知,甚至是愚昧:有智慧行惡,沒有知識行善。也因為如此,上帝的憤怒出滿天地之間,到處都是充滿著震動與破壞

    求主幫助,讓我們因著信靠耶穌督,並賜下聖靈,引導我們進入真理,並且悔改歸向上帝,使我們不要遭受到上帝永遠的憤怒

以賽亞書25:4



因為當強暴人催逼人的時候,如同暴風直吹牆壁,你就作貧窮人的保障,作困乏人急難中的保障,作躲暴風之處,作避炎熱的陰涼。

For you have been a stronghold to the poor,
a stronghold to the needy in his distress,
 a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
 for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,

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

    先知在此說明上帝是如何的保護受到逼迫的人。首先形容強暴人對人的催逼,如同暴風直吹牆壁讓人感受到強暴人給人的壓力和迫害,是何等的急切和難受,使人感到受不了

    但是,在這種狀態時,上帝卻成了我們的避難所,成了我們的保障,使我們不會受到這些迫害但是,我們要如何經歷這樣的幫助呢我們要奉主耶穌的名來求告上帝,將一切的困難和人的壓迫,仰望在上帝的手中,他必保守我們十分平安

    上帝的保護是可以經歷的只要我們肯勇敢地舉起禱告的手奉主耶穌的名求祂做我們隨時的幫助就必經歷上帝奇妙的保護讓我們一起來禱告仰望上帝吧

耶利米書4:11-18



4:11 那時,必有話對這百姓和耶路撒冷說:「有一陣熱風從曠野淨光的高處向我的眾民(原文是民女)颳來,不是為簸揚,也不是為揚淨。
4:12 必有一陣更大的風從這些地方為我颳來;現在我又必發出判語,攻擊他們。」
4:13 看哪,仇敵必如雲上來;他的戰車如旋風,他的馬匹比鷹更快。我們有禍了!我們敗落了!
4:14 耶路撒冷啊,你當洗去心中的惡,使你可以得救。惡念存在你心裡要到幾時呢?
4:15 有聲音從但傳揚,從以法蓮山報禍患。
4:16 你們當傳給列國,報告攻擊耶路撒冷的事說:有探望的人從遠方來到,向猶大的城邑大聲吶喊。
4:17 他們周圍攻擊耶路撒冷,好像看守田園的,因為她背叛了我。這是耶和華說的。
4:18 你的行動,你的作為,招惹這事;這是你罪惡的結果,實在是苦,是害及你心了!

At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, “A hot wind from the bare heights in the desert toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow or cleanse,  a wind too full for this comes for me. Now it is I who speak in judgment upon them.”
  Behold, he comes up like clouds;
his chariots like the whirlwind;
his horses are swifter than eagles—
woe to us, for we are ruined!
  O Jerusalem, wash your heart from evil,
that you may be saved.
How long shall your wicked thoughts
lodge within you?
  For a voice declares from Dan
and proclaims trouble from Mount Ephraim.
  Warn the nations that he is coming;
announce to Jerusalem,
Besiegers come from a distant land;
they shout against the cities of Judah.
  Like keepers of a field are they against her all around,
because she has rebelled against me,
declares the Lord.
  Your ways and your deeds
have brought this upon you.
This is your doom, and it is bitter;
it has reached your very heart.”

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

    先知在此說明以色列和猶大會造受到外敵的侵入而幾乎要滅亡的原因是來自於他們犯罪,因為他們離開上帝,在各大小山岡的山上敬拜迦南地的別神,並為這些偶像設立邱壇。

    其實我們的生命會有許多的破口與虧損,也是來自我們的罪!雖然主已經使我們不用為罪的緣故受到永遠的刑罰。但是,罪惡帶給我們生活的影響力仍然是在發生,使我們面對到這些失敗,體會出我們的軟弱,進而產生敬畏上帝的心

    我們要勇敢來面對這些軟弱,更要求上帝使我們在這樣的時候,不要忘記耶穌督已經得勝了,我們也與他同得勝了但是,我們更要為自己的失敗來求主給我們勇氣承認,並仰望主的勝利來向自己的軟弱誇勝,不要被罪惡打敗

耶利米書4:5-10



4:5 你們當傳揚在猶大,宣告在耶路撒冷說:你們當在國中吹角,高聲呼叫說:你們當聚集!我們好進入堅固城!
4:6 應當向錫安豎立大旗。要逃避,不要遲延,因我必使災禍與大毀滅從北方來到。
4:7 有獅子從密林中上來,是毀壞列國的。牠已經動身出離本處,要使你的地荒涼,使你的城邑變為荒場無人居住。
4:8 因此,你們當腰束麻布,大聲哀號,因為耶和華的烈怒沒有向我們轉消。
4:9 耶和華說:「到那時,君王和首領的心都要消滅;祭司都要驚奇,先知都要詫異。」
4:10 我說:「哀哉!主耶和華啊,你真是大大地欺哄這百姓和耶路撒冷,說:『你們必得平安』。其實刀劍害及性命了。」

5 Declare in Judah, and proclaim in Jerusalem, and say,
 "Blow the trumpet through the land;
cry aloud and say,
 'Assemble, and let us go
into the fortified cities! '
6 Raise a standard toward Zion,
flee for safety, stay not,
for I bring disaster from the north,
 and great destruction.
7 A lion has gone up from his thicket,
a destroyer of nations has set out;
he has gone out from his place
to make your land a waste;
your cities will be ruins
 without inhabitant.
8 For this put on sackcloth,
lament and wail,
for the fierce anger of the Lord
has not turned back from us."
9 "In that day, declares the Lord, courage shall fail both king and officials. The priests shall be appalled and the prophets astounded." 10 Then I said, "Ah, Lord God, surely you have utterly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, 'It shall be well with you,' whereas the sword has reached their very life."

***********

    先知在這裡宣告這事事要猶大國的上上下下都要真心悔改不可聽信假先知的話人若沒有離棄罪惡歸向上帝是無法獲得真正的平安必定會遭受到災害因為罪惡使上帝不保護與賜福

    同樣今日我們唯有透過耶穌基督與上帝重新建立正確合宜的關係我們才會享受到永生之福才可以稱為上帝的兒女才能在今生享受上帝同在在永生進入上帝的國

    讓我們從一切的謊言和欺騙出來唯有耶穌基督是道路真理和生命唯有藉由耶穌基督才能到父家中享受上帝要賜給我們的永生之福這一切只有在基督裡才可以得著
