旧约 - 历代记下(2 Chronicles)第7章

When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
The priests could not enter the temple of the LORD because the glory of the LORD filled it.
When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, "He is good; his love endures forever."
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep and goats. So the king and all the people dedicated the temple of God.
The priests took their positions, as did the Levites with the LORD'S musical instruments, which King David had made for praising the LORD and which were used when he gave thanks, saying, "His love endures forever." Opposite the Levites, the priests blew their trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.
Solomon consecrated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple of the LORD, and there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar he had made could not hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the fat portions.
So Solomon observed the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him--a vast assembly, people from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi of Egypt.
On the eighth day they held an assembly, for they had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days and the festival for seven days more.
On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their homes, joyful and glad in heart for the good things the LORD had done for David and Solomon and for his people Israel.
When Solomon had finished the temple of the LORD and the royal palace, and had succeeded in carrying out all he had in mind to do in the temple of the LORD and in his own palace,
the LORD appeared to him at night and said: "I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices.
"When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people,
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.
"As for you, if you walk before me as David your father did, and do all I command, and observe my decrees and laws,
I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father when I said, 'You shall never fail to have a man to rule over Israel.'
"But if you turn away and forsake the decrees and commands I have given you and go off to serve other gods and worship them,
then I will uproot Israel from my land, which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples.
And though this temple is now so imposing, all who pass by will be appalled and say, 'Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?'
People will answer, 'Because they have forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them--that is why he brought all this disaster on them.'"
历代志下第七章   第 7 章 

  代下 7:1-2> 火从天上降下,烧尽了燔祭──象征了…… 

  7:1-2 神从天上降下火来,烧尽燔祭和别的祭物,并且在燔祭坛上继续燃烧(参利 6:8-13 )。火焰不熄,象征神的同在。当亚伦在会幕中就职的时候,神也使火从天上降下来(参利 9:22-24 )。这也是奉献圣殿的真正意义,因为只有神洁净的大能,才能使器物成圣。 

  代下 7:4-5> 奉献仅是指献上金银财宝吗?还有什么是需要我献上的? 

  7:4-5 圣殿是献给神的,所罗门与百姓都准备就绪,一同敬拜神。奉献在这里是指将一个地方、器物或人分别出来作专一的用途。奉献圣殿,目的是将它分别出来,作为敬拜神的地方。现在,我们的身体就是神的殿(参林后 6:16 )。所罗门奉献圣殿,说明我们也应当将自己奉献给神,好完成祂特别的旨意(参弗 1:11-12 )。 

  代下 7:8> 7:8 小河是指小溪或干涸的河床。 

  代下 7:12> 神垂听祷告,并在合适的时候允诺;在等候时,我的信心…… 

  7:12 自从所罗门献殿祷告以后( 6 章),经过了好几个月,也可能是好几年,其余建造的工程也渐次完成( 7:11 ; 8:1 )。在此时,神告诉所罗门,祂已经垂听了他的祷告。人常常期望神立刻垂听祷告,在未见果效的时候,就会猜疑神是否聆听我们的祈求。神确实在垂听,祂必为我们预备。我们应当相信,祂会在恰当的时间应允所求。 

  代下 7:14> 悔改不是随便说说就算,究竟什么是真心悔改的表现? 

  7:14 所罗门在第六章求神赦免犯罪的百姓。神应允赦罪有四个条件:( 1 )谦卑地承认自己的罪;( 2 )向神祷告、求祂赦免;( 3 )不住地寻求神;( 4 )转离恶行。真心悔改不仅是在言语和舌头上,行为上也要有所改变。不管是个人或是团体犯了罪,依照这四个步骤去行,都必蒙赦免;神会垂听我们的恳求的。 

  代下 7:17-22> 纵有明确的指引,他们仍不顺服;看看自己,是顺服?是…… 

  7:17-22 神给所罗门定出明确的指引要他去依从,祂必使他的国位长久、后裔亨通;不然的话,他与他的国家就必衰亡。在申命记 27-28 章之中,神早已为全民列出这些条件。 

  不过,罪恶有欺骗的诱惑力,所罗门最终还是被引诱偏离神,使继位的儿子罗波安和后人失去了大部分的国土。顺从神的人必得好处与赏赐(不一定是物质上的);远离神则带来痛苦和惩罚,甚至灭亡。今天,神所定的条件跟所罗门时代的一样,我们要选择过顺服神的生活。 

  代下 7:21-22> 英明如所罗门也拜偶像,我还自信自己不会被罪所诱? 

  7:21-22 所罗门王朝之后不久,圣殿便遭埃及王劫掠( 12:9 )。很难想像这样伟大而英明的君王,竟然因拜偶像──权力、富庶与淫逸的象征而败亡;时至今日,这些偶像也引诱我们落入圈套。我们什么时候容许心中的欲望取代神所应占的地位时,我们的道德与灵性就开始败坏了。──《灵修版圣经注释》
