Jul 31【每日活水】在列国中传扬神的荣耀

以赛亚书66：15~24

15 看哪，耶和华必在火中降临；

他的车辇像旋风，

以烈怒施行报应，

以火焰施行责罚；

16 因为耶和华在一切有血气的人身上，

必以火与刀施行审判；

被耶和华所杀的必多。

17「那些分别为圣、洁净自己的，进入园内跟在其中一个人的后头，吃猪肉和仓鼠并可憎之物，他们必一同灭绝；这是耶和华说的。

18「我知道他们的行为和他们的意念。时候将到，我必将万民万族聚来，看见我的荣耀，

19 我要显神迹在他们中间。逃脱的，我要差到列国去，就是到他施、普勒、拉弓的路德和土巴、雅完，并素来没有听见我名声、没有看见我荣耀辽远的海岛；他们必将我的荣耀传扬在列国中。

20 他们必将你们的弟兄从列国中送回，使他们或骑马，或坐车，坐轿，骑骡子，骑独峰驼，到我的圣山耶路撒冷，作为供物献给耶和华，好像以色列人用洁净的器皿盛供物奉到耶和华的殿中；这是耶和华说的。

21 耶和华说：我也必从他们中间取人为祭司，为利未人。」

22 耶和华说：我所要造的新天新地，

怎样在我面前长存；

你们的后裔和你们的名字也必照样长存。

23 每逢月朔、安息日，

凡有血气的必来在我面前下拜。

这是耶和华说的。

24 他们必出去观看那些违背我人的尸首；

因为他们的虫是不死的；

他们的火是不灭的；

凡有血气的都必憎恶他们。

15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,

and his chariots are like a whirlwind;

he will bring down his anger with fury,

and his rebuke with flames of fire.

16 For with fire and with his sword

the Lord will execute judgment on all people,

and many will be those slain by the Lord.

17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs, rats and other unclean things—they will meet their end together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.

18 “And I, because of what they have planned and done, am about to come and gather the people of all nations and languages, and they will come and see my glory.

19 “I will set a sign among them, and I will send some of those who survive to the nations—to Tarshish, to the Libyans and Lydians (famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant islands that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory. They will proclaim my glory among the nations.

20 And they will bring all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,” says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels.

21 And I will select some of them also to be priests and Levites,” says the Lord.

22 “As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure.

23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the Lord.

24 “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

思考与默想

3.神为什么要从外邦民族中间，立人作祭司、作利未人?

个人感受

决心与应用

5.为了列邦得救，我可以摆上哪些服事?

洁净自己(17节):以拜偶像为目的而洁净自己的人。

幸存者(19节):指以色列人当中敬虔的余民。

你们的弟兄(20节):指生活在外邦的以色列人或听从神话语的外邦人。

赛66:2 “这一切是我手所造的，这一切就都存在了。我所看顾的是困苦、灵里痛悔、因我言语而战兢的人。这是耶和华说的。”

灵修指南

神的救赎工作不仅仅局限于以色列人，正如以赛亚宣告:救赎的历史会在神所预定的时候，延展至万民与列邦(18节)。因着神的大能，罪人要被称为义人，而神要透过如此奇妙的救赎事工，在万民之中得荣耀。同时，神宣告要在外邦人中间立人作祭司和利未人(21节)，这对于有着选民意识的以色列人来说，几乎不可置信。但是，这一切的预言和宣告，最终都将靠着耶稣基督的十字架和十二门徒的宣教，得以完全成就。我们也是这一福音预言的受益人。司和利未人本是享有最高特权的人，如今这一特权将被授予那些听从神话语又敬畏祂的人(参赛66:2)。作为蒙恩之人，愿我们今天也活出彰显神荣耀的生活。

内室祷告

愿我时刻记得神奇妙的救恩，活出彰显祂荣耀的生活。
