以西结书 22:12

12 在你中间有为流人血受贿赂的;有向借钱的弟兄取利,向借粮的弟兄多要的。且因贪得无餍,欺压邻舍夺取财物,竟忘了我。这是耶和华的。

Jerusalem

  

Jerusalem, on Mount Zion, signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. Jerusalem first comes to our attention in 2 Samuel 5, when King David takes the city from the Jebusites and makes it his capital. In the next chapter he brings the Ark of the Covenant there, and later it is where Solomon builds the temple, and his own palace. From then on Jerusalem is the center of worship of the Israelitish church. It is the place where the Lord was presented in the temple as a baby, where He tarried to talk to the priests at age twelve, where He cleansed the temple, had the last supper, was crucified and then rose. It is a central place in both the old and new Testaments. The city was built on Mount Zion, the highest point of the mountains of Judea. A city, in the Word, represents doctrine, the organized knowledge of the truths of the church. Mountains represent love of the Lord and the consequent worship. If you put those things together, Jerusalem on Mount Zion signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. This is why David was led to make Jerusalem the most important city of the land, and why all worship was conducted there. And this is also why Jeroboam was condemned for introducing idol worship in Samaria. In the Book of Revelation, John's vision of the city New Jerusalem descending from God is a prophecy of a new dispensation of doctrine coming from the Lord.

耶利米书 7:17-34

17 他们在犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上所行的,你没有见麽?

18 孩子捡柴,父亲,妇女抟面做饼,献给后,又向别浇奠祭,惹我发怒。

19 耶和华:他们岂是惹我发怒呢?不是自己惹祸,以致脸上惭愧麽?

20 所以耶和华如此:看哪,我必将我的怒气和忿怒倾在这地方的人和牲畜身上,并田野的树木和地着的出产上,必如火着起,不能熄灭。

21 万军之耶和华以色列的如此:你们将燔祭加在平安祭上,罢!

22 因为我将你们列祖从埃及领出来的那日,燔祭平安祭的事我并没有提,也没有吩咐他们。

23 我只吩咐他们这一件说:你们当从我的,我就作你们的,你们也作我的子民。你们行我所吩咐的一切道,就可以得福。

24 他们却不从,不侧耳而,竟随从自己的计谋和顽梗的恶,向後不向前。

25 自从你们列祖出埃及的那日,直到今日,我差遣我的仆人先知到你们那里去,每日从起来差遣他们。

26 你们却不从,不侧耳而,竟硬着颈项行恶,比你们列祖更甚。

27 你要将这一切的告诉他们,他们却不从;呼唤他们,他们却不答应。

28 你要对他们:这就是不听从耶和华─他们的话、不受教训的国民;从他们的中,诚实灭绝了。

29 耶路撒冷啊,要剪发抛弃,在净光的处举哀;因为耶和华丢掉离弃了惹他忿怒的世代

30 耶和华犹大人行我眼中看为恶的事,将可憎之物设立在称为我名下的殿中,污秽这殿。

31 他们在欣嫩子谷建筑陀斐特的邱坛,好在中焚烧自己的儿女。这并不是我所吩咐的,也不是我所起的意。

32 耶和华:因此,日子将到,这地方不再称为陀斐特和欣嫩子谷,反倒称为杀戮谷。因为要在陀斐特葬埋尸首,甚至无处可葬;

33 并且这百姓的尸首必给空中的飞上的野兽作食物,并无人哄赶。

34 那时,我必使犹大城邑中和耶路撒冷街上,欢喜和快乐的声音新郎和新妇的声音,都止息了,因为必成为荒场。
