但以理书 9

Studie

   

1 玛代族亚哈随鲁的儿子大利乌立为迦勒底国的王元年,

2 就是他在位第一年,我但以理从上得知耶和华的临到先知耶利米,论耶路撒冷荒凉的年数,七十年为满。

3 我便禁食,披麻蒙灰,定意向主祈祷恳求。

4 我向耶和华─我的祈祷、认罪,啊,而可畏的,向、守诫命的人守约施慈爱

5 我们犯罪作孽,行恶叛逆,偏离你的诫命典章,

6 没有听从你仆人先知奉你名向我们君、首领、列祖,和国中一切百姓所的话。

7 主啊,你是公的,我们是脸上蒙羞的;因我们犹大耶路撒冷居民,并以色列,或在近处,或在远处,被你赶到各国的,都得罪了你,正如今日一样。

8 主啊,我们我们的君、首领、列祖因得罪了你,就都脸上蒙羞。

9 主─我们的是怜悯饶恕人的,我们却违背了他,

10 也没有听从耶和华我们的话,没有遵行他藉仆人先知我们所陈明的律

11 以色列众人都犯了你的律法,偏行,不从你的话;因此,在你仆人摩西律法上所的咒诅和誓言都倾在我们身上,因我们得罪了

12 他使灾祸临到我们,成就了警戒我们和审判我们官长的;原来在普未曾行过像在耶路撒冷所行的。

13 这一切灾祸临到我们身上是照摩西律法上所的,我们却没有求耶和华我们的恩典,使我们回头离开罪孽,明白你的真理。

14 所以耶和华留意使这灾祸临到我们身上,因为耶和华我们在他所行的事上都是公我们并没有听从他的话。

15 主─我们的啊,你曾用大能的领你的子民出埃及,使自己得了名,正如今日一样。我们犯了罪,作了恶。

16 主啊,求你按你的大仁大,使你的怒气和忿怒离你的城耶路撒冷,就是你的耶路撒冷和你的子民,因我们罪恶我们列祖的罪孽被四围的人羞辱。

17 我们的啊,现在求你垂仆人的祈祷恳求,为自己使脸光你荒凉的圣所。

18 我的啊,求你侧耳而,睁眼而,眷顾我们荒凉之地和称为你名下的城。我们在你面前恳求,原不是因自己的,乃因你的大怜悯。

19 求主垂,求主赦免,求主应允而行,为你自己不要迟延。我的啊,因这城和这民都是称为你名下的。

20 我说话,祷告,承认我的和本国之民以色列的,为我,在耶和华─我面前恳求。

21 我正祷告的时候,先前在异象中所见的那位加百列,奉命迅速飞来,约在献晚祭的时候,按手在我身上。

22 他指教我:但以理啊,现在我出来要使你有智慧,有聪明。

23 你初恳求的时候,就发出命令,我告诉你,因你大蒙眷爱;所以你要思想明白这以下的事和异象。

24 为你本国之民和你城,已经定了十个。要止住罪过,除净罪恶,赎尽孽,引进(或译:彰显)永,封住异象预言,并者(者:或译所)。

25 你当知道,当明白,从出令重新建造耶路撒冷,直到有受膏君的时候,必有六十。正在艰难的时候,耶路撒冷城连街带濠必重新建造

26 过了六十个七,那(或译:有)受膏者必被剪除,一无所有;必有一王的民毁灭这城和所,至终必如洪水冲没。必有争战,一直到底,荒凉的事已经定了。

27 七之内,他必与许多人坚定盟约;七之半,他必使祭祀与供献止息。那行毁坏可憎的(或译:使地荒凉的)如飞而来,并且有忿怒倾在那行毁坏的身上(或译:倾在那荒凉之地),直到所定的结局。

Apocalypse Revealed # 492

492. "Clothed in sackcloth." This symbolizes the grief experienced meanwhile over the truth's not being accepted.

Being clothed in sackcloth symbolizes grief over the destruction of truth in the church, for garments symbolize truths (nos. 166, 212, 328, 378, 379). Consequently to be clothed in sackcloth, which is not a garment, symbolizes grief over the lack of truth, and where there is no truth, there is no church.

The children of Israel represented grief in various ways, which, because of their correspondence, were symbolic. For example, they would put ash on their heads, roll around in the dust, sit on the ground for a long time in silence, shave themselves, beat their breasts and wail, rend their garments, and also clothe themselves in sackcloth, and so on. Each action symbolized some evil in the church among them for which they were being punished. Then, when they were being punished, they put on a representation of repentance in these ways, and because of their representation of repentance, and at the same time then of their humbling themselves, they were heard.

[2] That putting on sackcloth represented grief over the destruction of truth in the church may be seen from the following passages:

The lion has come up from his thicket... He has gone forth from his place to make your land desolate... For this, clothe yourself with sackcloth, lament, wail. (Jeremiah 4:7-8)

O daughter of my people, gird yourself in sackcloth and roll about in ashes! ...For the destroyer will suddenly come upon us. (Jeremiah 6:26)

Woe to you, Chorazin (and) Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented... in sackcloth and ashes. (Matthew 11:21, Luke 10:13)

After the king of Nineveh heard the words of Jonah, he "laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes." Moreover, he proclaimed a fast and ordered that "man and beast be covered with sackcloth." (Jonah 3:5-8)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 3:24; 15:2-3; 22:12; 37:1-2; 50:3; Jeremiah 48:37-38; 49:3; Lamentations 2:10; Ezekiel 7:17-18; 27:31; Daniel 9:3; Joel 1:8, 13; Amos 8:10; Job 16:15-16; Psalms 30:11; Psalms 35:13; 69:10-11; 2 Samuel 3:31; 1 Kings 21:27; 2 Kings 6:30; 19:1-2.
