约珥书 1

Study

1 耶和华的话临到毗土珥的儿子约珥。

2 老年人哪，当听我的话；国中的居民哪，都要侧耳而听。在你们的日子，或你们列祖的日子，曾有这样的事麽？

3 你们要将这事传与子，子传与孙，孙，传与後代。

4 剪虫剩下的，蝗虫来吃；蝗虫剩下的，蝻子来吃；蝻子剩下的，蚂蚱来吃。

5 酒醉的人哪，要清醒哭泣；好酒的人哪，都要为甜酒哀号，因为从你们的口中断绝了。

6 有一队蝗虫（原文是民）又强盛又无数，侵犯我的地；他的牙齿如狮子的牙齿，大牙如母狮的大牙。

7 他毁坏我的葡萄树，剥了我无花果树的皮，剥尽而丢弃，使枝条露白。

8 我的民哪，你当哀号，像处女腰束麻布，为幼年的丈夫哀号。

9 素祭和奠祭从耶和华的殿中断绝；事奉耶和华的祭司都悲哀。

10 田荒凉，地悲哀；因为五谷毁坏，新酒乾竭，油也缺乏。

11 农夫啊，你们要惭愧,修理葡萄园的啊，你们要哀号；因为大麦小麦与田间的庄稼都灭绝了。

12 葡萄树枯乾；无花果树衰残。石榴树、棕树、苹果树，连田野一切的树木也都枯乾；众人的喜乐尽都消灭。

13 祭司啊，你们当腰束麻布痛哭；伺候祭坛的啊，你们要哀号；事奉我神的啊，你们要来披上麻布过夜，因为素祭和奠祭从你们神的殿中断绝了。

14 你们要分定禁食的日子，宣告严肃会，招聚长老和国中的一切居民到耶和华─你们神的殿，向耶和华哀求。

15 哀哉!耶和华的日子临近了。这日来到，好像毁灭从全能者来到。

16 粮食不是在我们眼前断绝了吗？欢喜快乐不是从我们神的殿中止息了吗？

17 谷种在土块下朽烂；仓也荒凉，廪也破坏；因为五谷枯乾了。

18 牲畜哀鸣；牛群混乱，因为无草；羊群也受了困苦。

19 耶和华啊，我向你求告，因为火烧灭旷野的草场；火焰烧尽田野的树木。

20 田野的走兽向你发喘；因为溪水乾涸，火也烧灭旷野的草场。

Scriptural Confirmations #4

  
/ 101  
  

4. 2. The Son of God (Romans 1:3-4).

Called after Jesus Christ, Christians (Romans 1:6) through the faith of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:22).

Faith in Christ. Through Jesus Christ we have peace toward God, and to God we have access by faith into this grace, and we glory in the hope of the glory of God (Romans 5:1-2).

By Jesus Christ were we reconciled to God (Romans 5:10,11).

As by one man sin entered into the world, so by the justice of one are we justified (Romans 5:12, 13, 15, 18-19).

There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, in order that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit (Romans 8:1-4). Christ is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34).

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, hunger, death, angels, principalities, height, depth, etc. (Romans 8:35-39)?

From the fathers Christ is according to the flesh, who is over all; God blessed forever. Amen (Romans 9:5).

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved (Romans 10:13).

We are one body in Christ; all are members having different gifts according to grace (Romans 12:5-6). The gifts which belong to different members are enumerated in a long series (verses 6, 13).

Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).

Whether we live, we live in the Lord; whether we die, we die in the Lord; therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died and rose and lived again that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living (Romans 14:8-9).

It is written, I live, saith the Lord, for every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God (Romans 14:11). Isaiah saith, there shall be a root of Jesse, and He that shall rise to rule over the nations; in Him shall the nations hope (Romans 15:12).

The Gospel of Christ (Romans 15:19-21).

Chosen and tried in the Lord, in Christ: to work and labor in the Lord (Romans 16:8-13).
