哈该书 1

Studie

1 利乌王第二初一日,耶和华的先知哈该向犹大省长撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子祭司约书亚说:

2 万军之耶和华如此:这百姓建造耶和华殿的时候尚未来到。

3 那时耶和华的临到先知哈该说:

4 这殿仍然荒凉,你们自己还天花板的房屋麽?

5 现在万军之耶和华如此:你们要省察自己的行为。

6 你们撒的种多,收的却少;你们,却不得饱;,却不得足;穿衣服,却不得暖;得工钱的,将工钱装在破漏的囊中。

7 万军之耶和华如此:你们要省察自己的行为。

8 你们要上料,建造这殿,我就因此喜乐,且得荣耀。这是耶和华的。

9 你们盼望多得,所得的却少;你们收到家中,我就吹去。这是为甚麽呢?因为我的殿荒凉,你们各却顾(原文是奔)自己的房屋。这是万军之耶和华的。

10 所以为你们的缘故,就不降甘也不出土产。

11 我命乾旱临到土、冈、五谷、新酒,和油,并上的出产、人民、牲畜,以及人手一切劳碌得来的。

12 那时,撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子祭司约书亚,并剩下的百姓,都耶和华─他们先知哈该奉耶和华─他们差来所说的;百姓也在耶和华面前存敬畏的心。

13 耶和华的使者哈该奉耶和华差遣对百姓耶和华:我与你们同在。

14 耶和华激动犹大省长撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子祭司约书亚,并剩下之百姓的心,他们就为万军之耶和华─他们的殿做工。

15 这是在大利乌王第二二十日。

Prophet

  

The idea of a "prophet" is very closely tied to the idea of the Bible itself, since the Bible was largely written by prophets. At a lower level, prophets represent people who teach from the Bible. At a higher level, they represent the Lord as He reveals himself through the Bible. Viewed in a abstract way, prophets represent the holy parts of the Bible themselves, and also represent doctrine drawn from the Bible. The reason we say "largely written by prophets" and "the holy parts of the Bible" is that not all of the books currently included in the Bible have a complete and continuous internal sense. Some -- like Job, Ruth, and Song of Solomon -- are wonderful literary pieces that got included, but which lack the systematic meanings for words and phrases. Others -- the Acts and Epistles, primarily -- are really doctrinal works, the first attempt by others to extract meaning from Jesus' life and words.
