旧约 - 以西结书(Ezekiel)第11章

Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. There at the entrance to the gate were twenty-five men, and I saw among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.
The LORD said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who are plotting evil and giving wicked advice in this city.
They say, 'Will it not soon be time to build houses? This city is a cooking pot, and we are the meat.'
Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, son of man."
Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon me, and he told me to say: "This is what the LORD says: That is what you are saying, O house of Israel, but I know what is going through your mind.
You have killed many people in this city and filled its streets with the dead.
"Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: The bodies you have thrown there are the meat and this city is the pot, but I will drive you out of it.
You fear the sword, and the sword is what I will bring against you, declares the Sovereign LORD.
I will drive you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners and inflict punishment on you.
You will fall by the sword, and I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
This city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat in it; I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel.
And you will know that I am the LORD, for you have not followed my decrees or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards of the nations around you."
Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, "Ah, Sovereign LORD! Will you completely destroy the remnant of Israel?"
The word of the LORD came to me:
"Son of man, your brothers--your brothers who are your blood relatives and the whole house of Israel--are those of whom the people of Jerusalem have said, 'They are far away from the LORD; this land was given to us as our possession.'
"Therefore say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries where they have gone.'
"Therefore say: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.'
"They will return to it and remove all its vile images and detestable idols.
I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.
Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
But as for those whose hearts are devoted to their vile images and detestable idols, I will bring down on their own heads what they have done, declares the Sovereign LORD."
Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
The glory of the LORD went up from within the city and stopped above the mountain east of it.
The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the exiles in Babylonia in the vision given by the Spirit of God. Then the vision I had seen went up from me,
and I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.
以西结书第十一章   第 11 章 

  结 11:1-4> 以色列的首领认为他们可以躲过灾祸;我常常也有这种侥幸心理…… 

  11:1-4 神放弃了自己的祭坛和殿( 9-11 章);神在其荣耀停在城东山上的时候,就进行了审判( 11:23 )。城门口是商人和政治家谈生意和讨论事情的地方,所以那二十五个人代表了该民族的统治阶层。他们自己是领袖,对百姓走入歧途要负责任。他们错误地认为,他们会逃过巴比伦的又一次攻击。“这城是锅,我们是肉”的意思是,他们相信自己是有影响力的、可免受一切伤害的精英。没有神同在的处境是绝不会稳定的。 

  结 11:5> 人心里所想的一切,神全都知道,然而人为什么总爱掩饰隐瞒? 

  11:5 以色列的一切,包括他们所说所想的,神都知道。神也知道我们的一切,包括我们极力想掩藏的罪。我们不要去注意人们怎么看我们和我们所做的事情,而要留心神怎么看我们,因为我们的一切,神都看得见。企图向神掩藏我们的思想和行为是愚蠢的。惟一有效对付罪的办法,就是认罪并求神帮助我们悔改。 

  结 11:12> 今天信徒随从世俗最大的诱惑是什么?为什么常经提醒而不愿改正? 

  11:12 从以色列人进入应许之地开始,神就警告他们说,不要效法异教国家的风俗和宗教习惯,但他们不遵从命令,以外邦的习俗取代神的律法,结果招致惩罚。今天的信徒仍然受诱惑向世界看齐,所以我们必须接受神的是非标准,而不是在社会上随波逐流。 

  结 11:14-25> 原来神不单是在圣殿,也在每一个愿意悔罪之人的身旁? 

  11:14-25 神应许流放在巴比伦的犹太人说,即使他们身不在耶路撒冷,祂仍会继续与他们同在。这是犹太人最关心的事情,因为他们一直认为神主要出现在圣殿里。但神向他们保证说,不论他们身在何处,神都将继续作他们的主。在以西结那严厉的审判信息中,却有一丝盼望,这就是神的应许:要使为数不多的忠于神的人回到家园。神的膀臂正张开来迎接认罪悔改的人。 

  结 11:15-21> 神并不按外观作判断,我对人与事的衡量是否与神的标准一致? 

  11:15-21 在以西结所传神的信息中充满了讽刺。神在这里说,被掳的犹大人是忠心的一群,而留在耶路撒冷的是有罪和邪恶的一群。这与人的观念正好相反。人的表面可以骗人,但神是以我们的信心和顺服来评估我们的生活,而不是按我们在地上看得见的“成功”。再进一步地说,我们不应该以貌判断人。 

  结 11:16> 神让自己成为被掳子民的容身与复兴之所,祂是否也是我的藏身处?我有没有把祂看为藏身处? 

  11:16 神是存留下来的义人的圣所。拜偶像的人就是在耶路撒冷的殿中敬拜( 11:15 ),也找不到真正的圣所。然而那些忠心的被掳者,虽身在他乡但还是会受到神的保护。同样,我们外在的情况并不能反映出我们同神真正的关系。那些看上去安全和得救的人也许离神很远,而那些经历了艰难困苦的人,得神在灵里的保护却有平安。我们若执意求神的照应,我们就能依靠神得到平安。 

  结 11:18-19> 何处才可以得到一颗新心?怎样才可以重建合一的灵? 

  11:18-19 “合一的心”指的是每个人的目的都一致起来。神的百姓不再寻找假神时,他们将得神的欢心。那顽固不受感动的“石心”将被温柔、受教和有回应的肉心取代(参耶 32:39 ;结 18:31 ; 36:26 )。这新生活乃是圣灵工作的果效。我们必须认识到这是神的工作,并且脱离罪恶。当我们这样做的时候,神就给我们新的动机、新的指引和新的目的。我们领受这样一颗“新心”没有呢? 

  结 11:23> 城东的橄榄山,是神的荣耀离开圣城后停留之处,直等到基督从此山再临…… 

  11:23 神的荣耀离开耶路撒冷,站在了城东边的山上。这座山可以肯定是橄榄山。以西结书 43 章 1 至 4 节暗示说,神怎么去就怎么回来。当神回到地上的时候,祂要建立一个完美的国度。──《灵修版圣经注释》
