以西結書第39章

学习

   

1 人子啊,你要向歌革發預言攻擊他,耶和華如此:羅施、米設、土巴的王歌革啊,我與你為敵。

2 我必調你,領你前往,使你從北方的極處上你到以色列的上。

3 我必從你左打落你的,從你右打掉你的

4 你和你的軍隊,並同著你的列國人,都必倒在以色列的上。我必將你各類的鷙和田野的走獸作食物。

5 你必倒在田野,因為我曾說過。這是耶和華的。

6 我要降在瑪各和海安然居住的人身上,他們就知道我是耶和華

7 我要在我民以色列中顯出我的名,也不容我的名再被褻瀆,列國人就知道我是耶和華以色列中的者。

8 耶和華:這日事情臨近,也必成就,乃是我所的日子。

9 以色列城邑的人必出去撿器械,就是大小盾牌弓箭、梃杖、槍矛,都當柴燒,直燒年,

10 甚至他們不必從田野撿柴,也不必從林伐;因為他們要用器械燒,並且搶奪那搶奪他們的人,擄掠那擄掠他們的人。這是耶和華的。

11 當那日,我必將以色列地的谷,就是東人所經過的谷,賜歌革為墳地,使經過的人到此停步。在那裡人必葬埋歌革和他的群眾,就稱那地為哈們歌革谷。

12 以色列家的人必用葬埋他們,為要潔淨全

13 的居民都必葬埋他們。當我得榮耀的日子,這事必叫他們得名聲。這是耶和華的。

14 他們必分派人時常巡查遍,與過路的人一同葬埋那地面上的屍首,好潔淨全。過了,他們還要巡查。

15 巡查遍的人要經過全,見有人的骸,就在旁邊立一標記,等葬埋的人來將骸葬在哈們歌革谷。

16 他們必這樣潔淨那,並有一城名叫哈摩那。

17 人子啊,耶和華如此:你要對各類的飛和田野的走獸:你們聚集罷,要從四方聚到我為你們獻祭之地,就是在以色列上獻祭之地,好叫你們血。

18 你們必勇士的上首領的血,就如公綿羔、公山、公牛,都是巴珊的肥畜。

19 你們我為你們所獻的祭,必飽了脂油,了血。

20 你們必在我席上飽吃馬匹和坐車的,並勇士和一切的戰士。這是耶和華的。

21 我必顯我的榮耀在列國中;萬民就必見我所行的審判與我在他們身上所加的

22 這樣,從那日以後,以色列家必知道我是耶和華─他們的

23 列國人也必知道以色列家被擄掠是因他們的罪孽。他們得罪我,我就掩面不顧,將他們交在敵人中,他們便都倒在刀下。

24 我是照他們的污穢和罪過待他們,並且我掩面不顧他們。

25 耶和華如此:我要使雅各被擄的人歸回,要憐憫以色列全家,又為我的名發熱心。

26 他們在本地安然居住,無人驚嚇,是我將他們從萬民中領回,從仇敵之地召來。我在許多國的民眼前,在他們身上顯為聖的時候,他們要擔當自己的羞辱和干犯我的一切罪。

27 a

28 因我使他們被擄到外邦人中,後又聚集他們歸回本地,他們就知道我是耶和華─他們的;我必不再留他們一人在外邦。

29 我也不再掩面不顧他們,因我已將我的靈澆灌以色列家。這是耶和華的。

Apocalypse Revealed#939

学习本章节

939. The fact that seeing the Lord's face does not mean seeing His face, but knowing and acknowledging Him as He is in respect to His Divine attributes, of which there are many, and that people conjoined with Him by love know Him and in that way see His face, can be seen from the following passages:

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me... ...When you come to see the face of Jehovah... (Isaiah 1:11-12)

My heart said..., "Seek my face. Your face, Jehovah, I am seeking." (Psalms 27:8)

We will shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His face with confession. (Psalms 95:1-2)

My soul thirsts... for the living God. When shall I come to see the face of God? ...yet shall I confess to Him the salvation of His countenance. (Psalms 42:2, 5)

They shall not see My face empty-handed. (Exodus 23:15)

...to come... to placate the face of Jehovah. (Zechariah 8:21-22, cf. Malachi 1:9)

Make Your face shine upon Your servant. (Psalms 31:16)

Who will show us any good? Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, Jehovah. (Psalms 4:6)

They shall walk, O Jehovah, in the light of Your countenance. (Psalms 89:15)

...O God, cause Your face to shine, that we may be saved! (Psalms 80:3, 7, 19)

God be merciful to us and bless us. May He cause His face to shine upon us. (Psalms 67:1)

Jehovah bless you and keep you; Jehovah make His face shine upon you and be merciful to you; Jehovah lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26)

You hide them in the secret place of Your countenance... (Psalms 31:20)

You have set... our hidden secret in the light of Your countenance. (Psalms 90:8)

(Jehovah) said (to Moses), "My countenance will go... (Moses) said..., "If Your countenance does not go..., do not bring us down from here." (Exodus 33:14-15)

The bread on the table in the Tabernacle was called [literally] "the bread of faces" (Exodus 25:30, Numbers 4:7).

[2] We are often told, too, that Jehovah hid His face or turned His face away, as in the following:

...for (their) wickedness I have hidden My face from (them). (Jeremiah 33:5, cf. Ezekiel 7:22)

Your sins have hidden (God's) face from you... (Isaiah 59:2)

The face of Jehovah... will no longer regard them. (Lamentations 4:16)

(Jehovah) will hide His face from them..., according as they have made their works evil. (Micah 3:4)

You hid Your face... (Psalms 30:7, cf. 44:24; 104:29)

I will forsake them, and I will hide My face from them... I will surely hide My face... because of all the evil which they have done... (Deuteronomy 31:17-18)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 8:17; Ezekiel 39:23, 28-29; Deuteronomy 32:20.

[3] In an opposite sense, the face of Jehovah symbolizes anger and aversion, because an evil person turns away from the Lord, and when he turns away, it seems to him as though the Lord had turned away and was angry, as is clear from the following passages:

...I have set My face against this city for its evil... (Jeremiah 21:10, cf. 44:11)

I will set My face against that man and... devastate him... (Ezekiel 14:7-8)

I will set My face against them... and... fire shall devour them..., when I set My face against them. (Ezekiel 15:7)

...(he) who eats any blood, I will set My face against that soul... (Leviticus 17:10)

At the rebuke of Your countenance they perished. (Psalms 80:16)

The face of Jehovah is against those who do evil... (Psalms 34:16)

...I send an angel before you... Beware of his face..., for he will not endure your transgression. (Exodus 23:20-21)

Let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee from Your countenance. (Numbers 10:35)

(I saw one sitting on the throne) from whose face the earth and heaven fled away. (Revelation 20:11)

That no one can see the Lord as He is in Himself, as we said above, is apparent from the following:

(Jehovah said to Moses,) "You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live." (Exodus 33:18-23)

That people nevertheless saw the Lord and lived, because He appeared by means of an angel, is apparent from Genesis 32:30, 1 Judges 13:22-23, 2 and elsewhere.

脚注:

1. Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."

2. Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, because we have seen God!" But his wife said to him, "If Jehovah had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have told us such things as these at this time."
