Oct24【每日活水】 SHEN 的热心必成就这事

 

以赛亚书37:21~32

以赛亚给王的信息
王下19‧20-37
21 亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚就打发人去见希西家,说:「耶/和/华-以色列的  SHEN 如此说,你既然求我攻击亚述西拿基立
22 所以耶/和/华论他这样说:
锡安的处女藐视你,嗤笑你;
耶路撒冷的女子向你摇头。
23 你辱骂谁,亵渎谁?
扬起声来,高举眼目攻击谁呢?
乃是攻击以色列的圣者。
24 你藉你的臣仆辱骂主说:
我率领许多战车上山顶,
黎巴嫩极深之处;
我要砍伐其中高大的香柏树
和佳美的松树。
我必上极高之处,
进入肥田的树林。
25 我已经挖井喝水;
我必用脚掌踏干埃及的一切河。
26 耶/和/华说:你岂没有听见
我早先所做的、古时所立的吗?
现在藉你使坚固城荒废,变为乱堆。
27 所以其中的居民力量甚小,
惊惶羞愧。
他们像野草,像青菜,
如房顶上的草,
又如田间未长成的禾稼
28 你坐下,你出去,你进来,
你向我发烈怒,我都知道。
29 因你向我发烈怒,
又因你狂傲的话达到我耳中,
我就要用钩子钩上你的鼻子,
把嚼环放在你口里,
使你从原路转回去。
30以色列人哪,我赐你们一个证据:你们今年要吃自生的,明年也要吃自长的,至于后年,你们要耕种收割,栽植葡萄园,吃其中的果子。 
31 犹大家所逃脱余剩的,仍要往下扎根,向上结果。 
32 必有余剩的民从耶路撒冷而出;必有逃脱的人从锡安山而来。万军之耶/和/华的热心必成就这事。
Sennacherib’s Fall
21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, 
22 this is the word the Lord has spoken against him:
“Virgin Daughter Zion
despises and mocks you.
Daughter Jerusalem
tosses her head as you flee.
23 Who is it you have ridiculed and blasphemed?
Against whom have you raised your voice
and lifted your eyes in pride?
Against the Holy One of Israel!
24 By your messengers
you have ridiculed the Lord.
And you have said,
‘With my many chariots
I have ascended the heights of the mountains,
the utmost heights of Lebanon.
I have cut down its tallest cedars,
the choicest of its junipers.
I have reached its remotest heights,
the finest of its forests.
25 I have dug wells in foreign lands
and drunk the water there.
With the soles of my feet
I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.’
26 “Have you not heard?
Long ago I ordained it.
In days of old I planned it;
now I have brought it to pass,
that you have turned fortified cities
into piles of stone.
27 Their people, drained of power,
are dismayed and put to shame.
They are like plants in the field,
like tender green shoots,
like grass sprouting on the roof,
scorched before it grows up.
28 “But I know where you are
and when you come and go
and how you rage against me.
29 Because you rage against me
and because your insolence has reached my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth,
and I will make you return
by the way you came.
30 “This will be the sign for you, Hezekiah:
“This year you will eat what grows by itself,
and the second year what springs from that.
But in the third year sow and reap,
plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
31 Once more a remnant of the kingdom of Judah
will take root below and bear fruit above.
32 For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant,
and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
 

内容观察

1.亚述王辱骂、亵渎、高举眼目攻击的是谁?(23节)

2. SHEN 赐给希西家王什么应许?(30~32节)

 

思考与默想

 

3. SHEN 为什么在赐给希西家王应许的时候,说到“万军之耶/和/华的热心”?
 

个人感受

决心与应用

5.我何时曾靠着 SHEN 的热心而非自己的努力解决生活中的困难?

向你摇头 (22节): 希伯来人嘲笑对方时常做的举动。
挖井喝水 (25节):指在无水的旷野也能挖井喝水,以此夸耀亚述军队的能力。
耶/和/华的热心 (32节): 指 SHEN 必定恢复以色列的 SHEN 圣心意。

灵/修指南

SHEN 借以赛亚的口,说 TA 已听见希西家的dao告,并论到亚述王西拿基立。 SHEN 指责西拿基立辱骂、亵渎 SHEN 的举动是愚蠢的 (22~23 节),而亚述王会行这样的事,是 SHEN 在太初便已经定下的, SHEN 允许其在 SHEN 所定的时间发生 (26节)。同时,亚述王要照着自己所行的受报应 (29 节)。 SHEN 应许希西家王,往后每年都要吃自己地里的出产,他也要保守以色列百姓的平安,将来犹大家所逃脱剩余的,要往下扎根,向上结果 (30~31节)。并说, SHEN 的热心必成就这事。信/徒在诸多的危机之中,仍得以在 SHEN 面前站立的原因,就在于 SHEN 必定保守自己百姓的热心,因为 SHEN 为自己的百姓作工。盼望今天我们也信靠 SHEN 的热心,经历 SHEN 的作工。
 

内室dao告

求 SHEN 使我铭记 SHEN 的热心,毫不动摇地信靠 SHEN 的救/恩。
