撒迦利亞書 14

Studie

   

1 耶和華的日子臨近,你的財物必被搶掠,在你中間分散。

2 因為我必聚集萬國與耶路撒冷爭戰,城必被攻取,房屋被搶奪,婦女被玷污,城中的民一半被擄去;剩下的民仍在城中,不致剪除。

3 那時,耶和華必出去與那些國爭戰,好像從前爭戰一樣。

4 那日,他的必站在耶路撒冷前面朝東的橄欖上。這必從中間分裂,自東至西成為極的谷。的一半向北挪移,一半向南挪移。

5 你們要從我的谷中逃跑,因為谷必延到亞薩。你們逃跑,必如猶大王烏西雅年間的人逃避大地震一樣。耶和華─我的必降臨,有一切聖者同

6 那日,必沒有,三必退縮。

7 那日,必是耶和華知道的,不是白晝,也不是黑夜,到了晚上才有明。

8 那日,必有活水從耶路撒冷出來,一半往東流,一半往西流;冬夏都是如此。

9 耶和華必作全的王。那日耶和華必為獨無二的,他的名也是獨無二的。

10 ,從迦巴直到耶路撒冷方的臨,要變為亞拉巴。耶路撒冷必仍居位,就是從便雅憫第一之處,又到角門,並從哈楠業樓,直到王的酒醡。

11 人必在其中,不再有咒詛。耶路撒冷人必安然居住

12 耶和華用災殃攻擊那與耶路撒冷爭戰的列國人,必是這樣:他們兩站立的時候,必消沒,眼在眶中乾癟,吞在中潰爛。

13 那日,耶和華必使他們大大擾亂。他們各彼此揪住,舉攻擊。

14 猶大也必在耶路撒冷爭戰。那時四圍各國的財物,就是許多衣服,必被收聚。

15 那臨到馬匹、騾駱駝,和中一切牲畜的災殃是與那災殃一般。

16 所有攻擊耶路撒冷列國中剩下的人,必年年上敬拜大君王─萬軍之耶和華,並守住棚節。

17 上萬族中,凡不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王─萬軍之耶和華的,必無雨降在他們的上。

18 埃及族若不上,雨也不降在他們的地上;凡不上住棚節的列國人,耶和華也必用這災攻擊他們。

19 這就是埃及的刑罰和那不上來守住棚節之列國的刑罰。

20 當那日,的鈴鐺上必有歸耶和華的這句話。耶和華殿內的必如祭壇前的碗一樣。

21 耶路撒冷猶大都必歸萬軍之耶和華。凡獻祭的都必取這肉在其中。當那日,在萬軍之耶和華的殿中必不再有迦南人。

Night

  

The sun in the Bible represents the Lord, with its heat representing His love and its light representing His wisdom. “Daytime,” then, represents a state in which we are turned toward the Lord, receiving His love and being enlightened by His truth. And “nighttime,” obviously, represents states in which we are turned away from the Lord, left cold and blind to the truth. The most common word used for it in the New Christian theology is “obscurity.” The darkness is not absolute, of course. The light of the moon represents the understanding we can have based on facts and our own intelligence. But while the moon reflects some of the sun's light, it offers almost no heat, so this kind of understanding is a cold one, without the warmth of love. And at its darkest and coldest, night represents a state of judgment. This happens when a person -- or a church -- becomes so mired in evil and falsity that there is no light or heat. The Lord can then step in, separate the good from the evil, consign the evil to hell and begin rebuilding based on the remnant that is still good. Drastic as that sounds, it is something that we all go through repeatedly in various aspects of our loves, so that we can be rid of what is evil and let the Lord rebuild us as angels.
