Aug 12【每日活水】在 SHEN 责打之前悔改

 

以赛亚书5:18~30

18  祸哉!那些以虚假之细绳牵罪孽的人!
他们又像以套绳拉罪恶,
19  说:任他急速行,赶快成就他的作为,
使我们看看;
以色列圣者所谋划的临近成就,
使我们知道。
20  祸哉!那些称恶为善,称善为恶,
以暗为光,以光为暗,
以苦为甜,以甜为苦的人。
21  祸哉!那些自以为有智慧,
自看为通达的人。
22  祸哉!那些勇于饮酒,
以能力调浓酒的人。
23  他们因受贿赂,就称恶人为义,
将义人的义夺去。
24  火苗怎样吞灭碎秸,
干草怎样落在火焰之中,
照样,他们的根必像朽
他们的花必像灰尘飞腾;
因为他们厌弃万军之耶/和/华的训诲,
藐视以色列圣者的言语。
25  所以,耶/和/华的怒气向他的百姓发作。
他的手伸出攻击他们,山岭就震动;
他们的尸首在街市上好像粪土。
虽然如此,他的怒气还未转消;
他的手仍伸不缩。
26  他必竖立大旗,招远方的国民,
发嘶声叫他们从地极而来;
看哪,他们必急速奔来。
27  其中没有疲倦的,绊跌的;
没有打盹的,睡觉的;
腰带并不放松,
鞋带也不折断。
28  他们的箭快利,
弓也上了弦。
马蹄算如坚石,
车轮好像旋风。
29  他们要吼叫,像母狮子,
咆哮,像少壮狮子;
他们要咆哮抓食,
坦然叼去,无人救回。
30  那日,他们要向以色列人吼叫,
像海浪匉訇;
人若望地,只见黑暗艰难,
光明在云中变为昏暗。
18 Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit,
and wickedness as with cart ropes,
19 to those who say, “Let God hurry;
let him hasten his work
so we may see it.
The plan of the Holy One of Israel—
let it approach, let it come into view,
so we may know it.”
20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
and clever in their own sight.
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine
and champions at mixing drinks,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
but deny justice to the innocent.
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw
and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay
and their flowers blow away like dust;
for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty
and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore the Lord’s anger burns against his people;
his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,
and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets.
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
26 He lifts up a banner for the distant nations,
he whistles for those at the ends of the earth.
Here they come,
swiftly and speedily!
27 Not one of them grows tired or stumbles,
not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt is loosened at the waist,
not a sandal strap is broken.
28 Their arrows are sharp,
all their bows are strung;
their horses’ hooves seem like flint,
their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Their roar is like that of the lion,
they roar like young lions;
they growl as they seize their prey
and carry it off with no one to rescue.
30 In that day they will roar over it
like the roaring of the sea.
And if one looks at the land,
there is only darkness and distress;
even the sun will be darkened by clouds.
 

内容观察

1.不承认 SHEN 主权的领袖们所行的是什么事情?(19~20节)

2.审判官所犯的罪有哪些?(22~23节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.以赛亚为什么说领袖所犯的罪更为严重?
 

个人感受

4. SHEN 为了审判领袖们的罪,不惜动用远方的国民来责打他们,对此我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.我的身上有哪些被 SHENG LING 提醒的罪?

6.身为 JI DU 徒,为了给周围的人带来正向的影响,我决定要怎么做?

好让我们看看(19节):让 SHEN 试试看能不能审判他们,透露出藐视 SHEN 的态度。
称恶为善,称善为恶(20节):说明价值观混乱,分不清善恶。
竖立大旗(26节):指战争。
远方的国民(26节):指消灭了北国以色列和南国犹大的亚述和巴比伦。

灵/修指南

以赛亚接连说明了审判犹大的理由,他揭露了社会和宗教领袖的罪恶,让全体百姓一同陷入罪中,因而将受更重的审判。本应分辨善恶、带领百姓走正道的领袖们,竟然为了自己的利益颠倒黑白(20节);本应赏善罚恶的审判官也沉迷在醉酒和宴乐之中,作出不公的判决(22节),这已经不再是他们个人的罪恶,而是让整个社会都陷人罪中,让 SHEN 的百姓丧失作为 SHEN 子民身份的大罪。 SHEN 要将他们连根拔起,彻底地审判他们(24节),甚至不惜动用远方的国民来责打和审判(26~30节)。因此,那些对他人有影响力的领袖、父母和信心前辈,应当要活出圣洁的样貌,积极顺服 SHEN 的话语,以敬畏之心时常省察自己。
 

内室dao告

求 SHEN 使我在 SHEN 责打之前悔改自己的罪,作一个为他人带来正向影响的忠心MEN TU。
