以賽亞書8:16-22



8:16 你要捲起律法書,在我門徒中間封住訓誨。
8:17
我要等候那掩面不顧雅各家的耶和華;我也要仰望他。
8:18
看哪,我與耶和華所給我的兒女,就是從住在錫安山萬軍之耶和華來的,在以色列中作為預兆和奇蹟。
8:19
有人對你們說:「當求問那些交鬼的和行巫術的,就是聲音綿蠻,言語微細的。」你們便回答說:「百姓不當求問自己的上帝嗎?豈可為活人求問死人呢?」
8:20
人當以訓誨和法度為標準;他們所說的,若不與此相符,必不得見晨光。
8:21
他們必經過這地,受艱難,受飢餓;飢餓的時候,心中焦躁,咒罵自己的君王和自己的上帝。
8:22
仰觀上天,俯察下地,不料,盡是艱難、黑暗,和幽暗的痛苦。他們必被趕入烏黑的黑暗中去。

16 Bind up the testimony, seal the teaching among my disciples. 17I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in him. 18See, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19Now if people say to you, “Consult the ghosts and the familiar spirits that chirp and mutter; should not a people consult their gods, the dead on behalf of the living, 20for teaching and for instruction?” surely, those who speak like this will have no dawn! 21They will pass through the land, greatly distressed and hungry; when they are hungry, they will be enraged and will curse their king and their gods. They will turn their faces upward, 22or they will look to the earth, but will see only distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be thrust into thick darkness.

    在以賽亞書中,我們不斷的感受到,在當時的耶路撒冷中瀰漫著一股悖逆上帝的力量。這一股力量一直引誘百姓,離開上帝去做交鬼或拜偶像的事情,正如先知以賽亞在此說:「有人對你們說:當求問那些交鬼的和行巫術的,就是聲音綿蠻,言語微細的。你們便回答說:百姓不當求問自己的上帝嗎?豈可為活人求問死人呢?

    這樣的一股力量不僅瀰漫在猶大的百姓當中,也瀰漫在今日的教會中。在教會中牧會的傳道者,都會感受到這一股悖逆之氣充斥著教會!因為許多人名為基督徒,仍然是在拜偶像悖逆上帝,沒有真正悔改!這群人在教會中,如同批著羊皮的狼,企圖掌控教會,使教會不再以基督為頭。

    今天我要同著先知宣告,這些批著羊皮的狼的下場是:「必不得見晨光他們必經過這地,受艱難,受飢餓;仰觀上天,俯察下地,不料,盡是艱難、黑暗,和幽暗的痛苦。他們必被趕入烏黑的黑暗中去。

    弟兄姊妹,這一群批著羊皮的狼是被上帝咒詛的,除非他們願意真正悔改,真正歸基督名下,以基督為他們的主,不再高舉自己和掌控教會!

以賽亞書8:11-15



8:11 耶和華以大能的手,指教我不可行這百姓所行的道,對我這樣說:
8:12
「這百姓說同謀背叛,你們不要說同謀背叛。他們所怕的,你們不要怕,也不要畏懼。
8:13
但要尊萬軍之耶和華為聖,以他為你們所當怕的,所當畏懼的。
8:14
他必作為聖所,卻向以色列兩家作絆腳的石頭,跌人的磐石;向耶路撒冷的居民作為圈套和網羅。
8:15
許多人必在其上絆腳跌倒,而且跌碎,並陷入網羅,被纏住。」

11 For the Lord spoke thus to me while his hand was strong upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: 12Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what it fears, or be in dread. 13But the Lord of hosts, him you shall regard as holy; let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14He will become a sanctuary, a stone one strikes against; for both houses of Israel he will become a rock one stumbles over—a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15And many among them shall stumble; they shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.

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

    上帝要先知像猶大人宣告:「這百姓說同謀背叛,你們不要說同謀背叛。他們所怕的,你們不要怕,也不要畏懼。但要尊萬軍之耶和華為聖,以祂為你們所當怕的,所當畏懼的。


    而這些教導都是要告訴我們一個事實:要敬畏上帝,不要怕人!這不僅是一般的基督徒要謹守,更是牧者要放在心中,尤其是面對那些批著羊皮的狼時,更是要這樣勇敢的保護上帝所賜的羊。

以賽亞書8:1-10



8:1 耶和華對我說:「你取一個大牌,拿人所用的筆(或譯:人常用的字),寫上『瑪黑珥沙拉勒哈施罷斯』(就是擄掠速臨、搶奪快到的意思)。
8:2
我要用誠實的見證人,祭司烏利亞和耶比利家的兒子撒迦利亞記錄這事。」
8:3
以賽亞與妻子(原文是女先知)同室;她懷孕生子,耶和華就對我說:「給他起名叫瑪黑珥沙拉勒哈施罷斯;
8:4
因為在這小孩子不曉得叫父叫母之先,大馬士革的財寶和撒馬利亞的擄物必在亞述王面前搬了去。」
8:5
耶和華又曉諭我說:
8:6
「這百姓既厭棄西羅亞緩流的水,喜悅利汛和利瑪利的兒子;
8:7
因此,主必使大河翻騰的水猛然沖來,就是亞述王和他所有的威勢,必漫過一切的水道,漲過兩岸;
8:8
必沖入猶大,漲溢氾濫,直到頸項。以馬內利啊,他展開翅膀,遍滿你的地。」
8:9
列國的人民哪,任憑你們喧嚷,終必破壞;遠方的眾人哪,當側耳而聽!任憑你們束起腰來,終必破壞;你們束起腰來,終必破壞。
8:10
任憑你們同謀,終歸無有;任憑你們言定,終不成立;因為上帝與我們同在。

Then the Lord said to me, Take a large tablet and write on it in common characters, “Belonging to Maher-shalal-hash-baz,” 2and have it attested for me by reliable witnesses, the priest Uriah and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah. 3And I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the Lord said to me, Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz; 4for before the child knows how to call “My father” or “My mother,” the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria.
5 The Lord spoke to me again: 6Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that flow gently, and melt in fear before Rezin and the son of Remaliah; 7therefore, the Lord is bringing up against it the mighty flood waters of the River, the king of Assyria and all his glory; it will rise above all its channels and overflow all its banks; 8it will sweep on into Judah as a flood, and, pouring over, it will reach up to the neck; and its outspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.
 
9
Band together, you peoples, and be dismayed;
listen, all you far countries;
gird yourselves and be dismayed;
gird yourselves and be dismayed!
10
Take counsel together, but it shall be brought to naught;
speak a word, but it will not stand,
for God is with us.

   先知以賽亞不僅用聽從上帝用筆在大牌上寫『瑪黑珥沙拉勒哈施斯』(就是擄掠速臨、搶奪快到的意思)。並且還有見證人祭司烏利亞和耶比利家的兒子撒迦利亞記錄這事

    不僅如此,還在上帝的指示下,以賽亞與妻子(原文是女先知)同室妻子懷孕生子耶和華還透這個小孩說預言:「給他起名叫瑪黑珥沙拉勒哈施罷斯;因為在這小孩子不曉得叫父叫母之先,大馬士革的財寶和撒馬利亞的擄物必在亞述王面前搬了去。」

    可見上帝一而再,在而三的宣告亞述王必並成為上帝所立的審判力量,使列國得著懲罰,唯有猶大因為大衛的緣故而得以堅立!

箴言11:2



驕傲來,羞恥也來;謙遜人卻有智慧。

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

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

    驕傲」和「謙遜」是相對的兩個詞,而這兩個詞的差異是在:高舉自己和高舉上帝。高舉自己就是「驕傲」,高舉上帝就是「謙遜」!

    然而這兩者卻帶來不同的結果,「驕傲」招來的是「羞恥」;「謙遜」帶來的就是「智慧」!

    經過這樣的分析您希望的的是甚麼呢?是「羞恥」?還是「智慧」?相信聖靈會給你清楚的答案!就讓我們靠聖靈來過「榮耀上帝並以上帝為永遠福樂」的生活!
