Sep 20【每日活水】背信契约,审判临到

 

以赛亚书24:1~13

耶/和/华要责罚世界
看哪,耶/和/华使地空虚,变为荒凉;
又翻转大地,将居民分散。
那时百姓怎样,祭司也怎样;
仆人怎样,主人也怎样;
婢女怎样,主母也怎样;
买物的怎样,卖物的也怎样;
放债的怎样,借债的也怎样;
取利的怎样,出利的也怎样。
地必全然空虚,尽都荒凉;
因为这话是耶/和/华说的。
地上悲哀衰残,
世界败落衰残;
地上居高位的人也败落了。
地被其上的居民污秽;
因为他们犯了律/法,
废了律例,背了永约。
所以,地被咒诅吞灭;
住在其上的显为有罪。
地上的居民被火焚烧,
剩下的人稀少。
新酒悲哀,葡萄树衰残;
心中欢乐的俱都叹息。
击鼓之乐止息;
宴乐人的声音完毕,
弹琴之乐也止息了。
人必不得饮酒唱歌;
喝浓酒的,必以为苦。
10  荒凉的城拆毁了;
各家关门闭户,使人都不得进去。
11  在街上因酒有悲叹的声音;
一切喜乐变为昏暗;
地上的欢乐归于无有。
12  城中只有荒凉;
城门拆毁净尽。
13  在地上的万民中,
必像打过的橄榄树,
又像已摘的葡萄所剩无几。

TheLord’s Devastation of the Earth

See, the Lord is going to lay waste the earth
and devastate it;
he will ruin its face
and scatter its inhabitants—
it will be the same
for priest as for people,
for the master as for his servant,
for the mistress as for her servant,
for seller as for buyer,
for borrower as for lender,
for debtor as for creditor.
The earth will be completely laid waste
and totally plundered.
The Lord has spoken this word.
The earth dries up and withers,
the world languishes and withers,
the heavens languish with the earth.
The earth is defiled by its people;
they have disobeyed the laws,
violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore a curse consumes the earth;
its people must bear their guilt.
Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up,
and very few are left.
The new wine dries up and the vine withers;
all the merrymakers groan.
The joyful timbrels are stilled,
the noise of the revelers has stopped,
the joyful harp is silent.
No longer do they drink wine with a song;
the beer is bitter to its drinkers.
10  The ruined city lies desolate;
the entrance to every house is barred.
11  In the streets they cry out for wine;
all joy turns to gloom,
all joyful sounds are banished from the earth.
12  The city is left in ruins,
its gate is battered to pieces.
13  So will it be on the earth
and among the nations,
as when an olive tree is beaten,
or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest.

灵/修指南

以赛亚书第24到27章被称为“以赛亚小启示录”,以赛亚预言了即将临到全地的 SHEN 的审判和计划。地要成为空虚,变为荒芜,地面扭曲,居民四散;地上的欢乐全都消失,城里尽是荒凉; SHEN 的审判将消灭一切生命,人类不分身份、地域、人种、阶层,无一例外都要受审,超越“百姓和祭司、仆人和主人、婢女和主母、买主和卖主”等宗教、社会、经济、身份的差异(1~3节)。这是因为人类本应照着 SHEN 的吩附管理 SHEN 所造的世界,结果却犯了律/法,废了律例,背了永约(5节)。 SHEN 是圣洁公义、绝不容纳罪的 SHEN ,因此 SHEN 对于罪和末日的警告必定要成就,然而 SHEN 要借着所剩之民使我们在审判之中仍有盼望(13节)。盼望我们仰望等候 YS 再来的日子,并敬虔度日,持守与 SHEN 所立之约,过谦卑顺从的生活。

求 SHEN 使我带着未日信/仰持守与 SHEN 所立的约,靠着信心活出谦卑和信实。
