阿摩司書 4

Studie

   

1 你們住撒瑪利亞如巴珊母的啊,當我的─你們欺負貧寒的,壓碎窮乏的,對家:拿酒來,我們罷!

2 耶和華指著自己的聖潔起誓說:日子快到,人必用鉤子將你們鉤去,用魚鉤將你們餘剩的鉤去。

3 你們各人必從破口直往前行,投入哈門。這是耶和華的。

4 以色列人哪,任你們往伯特利去犯罪,到吉甲加增罪過;每日早晨獻上你們的祭物,每日奉上你們的十分之一

5 任你們獻有的感謝祭,把甘心祭宣傳報告給眾人,因為是你們所喜的。這是耶和華的。

6 我使你們在一切城中牙齒乾淨,在你們各處糧食缺乏,你們仍不歸向我。這是耶和華的。

7 在收割的前,我使停止,不降在你們那裡;我降在這城,不降在那城;這塊地有,那塊地無;無的就枯乾了。

8 這樣,兩城的人湊到城去找,卻不足;你們仍不歸向我。這是耶和華的。

9 我以旱風、霉爛攻擊你們,你們園中許多菜蔬、葡萄樹、無花果樹橄欖樹都被剪蟲所;你們仍不歸向我。這是耶和華的。

10 我降瘟疫在你們中間,像在埃及一樣;用刀殺戮你們的少年人,使你們的馬匹被擄掠,中屍首的臭氣撲鼻;你們仍不歸向我。這是耶和華的。

11 傾覆你們中間的城邑,如同我從前傾覆所多瑪、蛾摩拉一樣,使你們好像從火中抽出來的一根柴;你們仍不歸向我。這是耶和華的。

12 以色列啊,我必向你如此行;以色列啊,我既這樣行,你當預備迎見你的

13 那創、造、將心意指示人、使晨光變為幽暗、腳踏在處的,他的名是耶和華─萬軍之

A company might have executives setting policy and strategy, engineers designing products, managers handling personnel and others handling various functions. They all do different things -- but if they're doing them with a shared underlying purpose, the company -- and the individuals in it -- will likely be successful. The Lord wants all human society to function in a similar way. We have different skills and individual loves, but if we all share a mutual love -- a love of serving others -- then society will function as one, will be a reflection of heaven and will be a good receptacle for the Lord's love. This can also happen within each of us, as we unify our talents and ideas around a central love. And in an abstract sense, it illustrates how a wide collection of varying ideas can be unified around a shared good intention. That is the kind of love pictured when “one” is used in the Bible, either as a specific number or in the sense of several people or objects “being one.” In more casual references -- when used to identify a specific person or object -- the meaning is relatively literal, and is connected to that person or object.
