Sep 26【每日活水】领受 SHEN 的悉心照料

 

以赛亚书26:20~27:13

审判和复兴
20 我的百姓啊,你们要来进入内室,
关上门,隐藏片时,
等到忿怒过去。
21 因为耶/和/华从他的居所出来,
要刑罚地上居民的罪孽。
地也必露出其中的血,
不再掩盖被杀的人
以赛亚书 27
1 到那日,耶/和/华必用他刚硬有力的大刀刑罚鳄鱼-就是那快行的蛇,刑罚鳄鱼-就是那曲行的蛇,并杀海中的大鱼。
2 当那日,有出酒的葡萄园,
你们要指这园唱歌说:
3 我-耶/和/华是看守葡萄园的;
我必时刻浇灌,
昼夜看守,
免得有人损害。
4 我心中不存忿怒。
惟愿荆棘蒺藜与我交战,
我就勇往直前,
把它一同焚烧。
5 不然,让它持住我的能力,
使它与我和好,
愿它与我和好。
6 将来雅各要扎根,
以色列要发芽开花;
他们的果实必充满世界。
7 主击打他们,
岂像击打那些击打他们的人吗?
他们被杀戮,
岂像被他们所杀戮的吗?
8 你打发他们去,
是相机宜与他们相争;
刮东风的日子,
就用暴风将他们逐去。
9 所以,雅各的罪孽得赦免,
他的罪过得除掉的果效,全在乎此:
就是他叫祭坛的石头变为打碎的灰石,
以致木偶和日像不再立起。
10 因为坚固城变为凄凉,
成了撇下离弃的居所,像旷野一样;
牛犊必在那里吃草,
在那里躺卧,并吃尽其中的树枝。
11 枝条枯干,必被折断;
妇女要来点火烧着。
因为这百姓蒙昧无知,
所以,创造他们的必不怜恤他们;
造成他们的也不施恩与他们。
12 以色列人哪,到那日,耶/和/华必从大河,直到埃及小河,将你们一一地收集,如同人打树拾果一样。
13 当那日,必大发角声,在亚述地将要灭亡的,并在埃及地被赶散的,都要来,他们就在耶路撒冷圣山上敬/拜耶/和/华。

20 Go, my people, enter your rooms
and shut the doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
until his wrath has passed by.
21 See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling
to punish the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will disclose the blood shed on it;
the earth will conceal its slain no longer.
ISAIAH 27
Deliverance of Israel

1 In that day,
the Lord will punish with his sword—
his fierce, great and powerful sword—
Leviathan the gliding serpent,
Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster of the sea.
2 In that day—
“Sing about a fruitful vineyard:
3 I, the Lord, watch over it;
I water it continually.
I guard it day and night
so that no one may harm it.
4 I am not angry.
If only there were briers and thorns confronting me!
I would march against them in battle;
I would set them all on fire.
5 Or else let them come to me for refuge;
let them make peace with me,
yes, let them make peace with me.”
6 In days to come Jacob will take root,
Israel will bud and blossom
and fill all the world with fruit.
7 Has the Lord struck her
as he struck down those who struck her?
Has she been killed
as those were killed who killed her?
8 By warfare and exile you contend with her—
with his fierce blast he drives her out,
as on a day the east wind blows.
9 By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned for,
and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:
When he makes all the altar stones
to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles or incense altars
will be left standing.
10 The fortified city stands desolate,
an abandoned settlement, forsaken like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,
there they lie down;
they strip its branches bare.
11 When its twigs are dry, they are broken off
and women come and make fires with them.
For this is a people without understanding;
so their Maker has no compassion on them,
and their Creator shows them no favor.
12 In that day the Lord will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, Israel, will be gathered up one by one.
13 And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
 

内容观察

1.以赛亚如何描述 SHEN 的审判?(27:1)

2.以赛亚如何描述 SHEN 对葡萄园的照料?(27:3~4)

 

思考与默想

 

3. SHEN 为什么在责备百姓的时候也不失慈爱和宽容?
 

个人感受

4.看到 SHEN 作为葡萄园的主人悉心照料葡萄园,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5. 我何时曾因罪受 SHEN 的责备,同时也经历 SHEN 的慈爱和宽容?

6. 为了领受 SHEN 的悉心照料,我决定要怎么做?

我的百姓啊······等到愤怒过去(26:20):指在 SHEN 的审判来临之际,将自己交托给 SHEN 。
弯弯曲曲的蛇、海里的大鱼(27:1):代指侵略以色列的埃及、亚述和巴比伦,即逼迫信/徒的势力。
在刮东风的日子(27:8):东风是近东地区极为猛烈的风,这里指灾难和苦难。

灵/修指南

以赛亚宣告, SHEN 要在审判之日惩罚侵略以色列的列强(26:21,27:1)。在以赛亚之前的预言中所提到的葡萄园,曾是“荒废,不再修剪”(参赛5:1~7)的样子,如今以赛亚歌唱的是美丽的葡萄园(27:2)。 SHEN 将自己的百姓称为葡萄园,而自己是葡萄园的主人,日夜看守,悉心照料(27:3~4)。 SHEN 对自己百姓的心意是永不止息的爱与宽恕。 SHEN 是公义的 SHEN , TA 因不义和罪恶而震怒,并不容纳罪,但是 SHEN 对于 TA 所拣选之百姓的惩罚,并不及 TA 对仇敌的惩罚严厉(27:7~8)。虽然以色列人因罪受审判,并被掳到外邦之地,但是到那日,他们要回到耶路撒冷的圣山,在那里敬/拜 SHEN (27:12~13)。盼望我们今天也能领受来自 SHEN 的医治、恢复和悉心照料
