旧约 - 以西结书(Ezekiel)第32章

In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month on the first day, the word of the LORD came to me:
"Son of man, take up a lament concerning Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him: "'You are like a lion among the nations; you are like a monster in the seas thrashing about in your streams, churning the water with your feet and muddying the streams.
"'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'With a great throng of people I will cast my net over you, and they will haul you up in my net.
I will throw you on the land and hurl you on the open field. I will let all the birds of the air settle on you and all the beasts of the earth gorge themselves on you.
I will spread your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains.
I will drench the land with your flowing blood all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.
All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you; I will bring darkness over your land, declares the Sovereign LORD.
I will trouble the hearts of many peoples when I bring about your destruction among the nations, among lands you have not known.
I will cause many peoples to be appalled at you, and their kings will shudder with horror because of you when I brandish my sword before them. On the day of your downfall each of them will tremble every moment for his life.
"'For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "'The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you.
I will cause your hordes to fall by the swords of mighty men--the most ruthless of all nations. They will shatter the pride of Egypt, and all her hordes will be overthrown.
I will destroy all her cattle from beside abundant waters no longer to be stirred by the foot of man or muddied by the hoofs of cattle.
Then I will let her waters settle and make her streams flow like oil, declares the Sovereign LORD.
When I make Egypt desolate and strip the land of everything in it, when I strike down all who live there, then they will know that I am the LORD.'
"This is the lament they will chant for her. The daughters of the nations will chant it; for Egypt and all her hordes they will chant it, declares the Sovereign LORD."
In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:
"Son of man, wail for the hordes of Egypt and consign to the earth below both her and the daughters of mighty nations, with those who go down to the pit.
Say to them, 'Are you more favored than others? Go down and be laid among the uncircumcised.'
They will fall among those killed by the sword. The sword is drawn; let her be dragged off with all her hordes.
From within the grave the mighty leaders will say of Egypt and her allies, 'They have come down and they lie with the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword.'
"Assyria is there with her whole army; she is surrounded by the graves of all her slain, all who have fallen by the sword.
Their graves are in the depths of the pit and her army lies around her grave. All who had spread terror in the land of the living are slain, fallen by the sword.
"Elam is there, with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are slain, fallen by the sword. All who had spread terror in the land of the living went down uncircumcised to the earth below. They bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
A bed is made for her among the slain, with all her hordes around her grave. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword. Because their terror had spread in the land of the living, they bear their shame with those who go down to the pit; they are laid among the slain.
"Meshech and Tubal are there, with all their hordes around their graves. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword because they spread their terror in the land of the living.
Do they not lie with the other uncircumcised warriors who have fallen, who went down to the grave with their weapons of war, whose swords were placed under their heads? The punishment for their sins rested on their bones, though the terror of these warriors had stalked through the land of the living.
"You too, O Pharaoh, will be broken and will lie among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword.
"Edom is there, her kings and all her princes; despite their power, they are laid with those killed by the sword. They lie with the uncircumcised, with those who go down to the pit.
"All the princes of the north and all the Sidonians are there; they went down with the slain in disgrace despite the terror caused by their power. They lie uncircumcised with those killed by the sword and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.
"Pharaoh--he and all his army--will see them and he will be consoled for all his hordes that were killed by the sword, declares the Sovereign LORD.
Although I had him spread terror in the land of the living, Pharaoh and all his hordes will be laid among the uncircumcised, with those killed by the sword, declares the Sovereign LORD."
以西结书第卅二章   第 32 章 

  结 32 章 > 这已是论埃及的第六个预言── 

  32 章 这个预言是在耶路撒冷遭毁灭的消息传到巴比伦后两个月,由以西结于公元前 586 年发出的。以西结对许多邪恶的国家发出了审判的预言。这些预言有其积极的目的:它们显明了邪恶会不断地被战胜,所有的罪恶终有一天将被神清除,人间将变成合神心意的完美地方。这些预言也在警告百姓说,惟有神在掌管主权。就是法老这样权势极大的统治者,也要倒在神的面前。一切都在神的掌管以下。 

  结 32:2> “海中的大鱼”──神话中的妖怪? 

  32:2 虽然法老把自己看得像少壮狮子一样强壮,但在神的眼中,根本算不上什么,只不过是一条在泥水中的大鱼(“水妖”)。神的审判使法老显出了他的真正面目。谁否认神都将会面临神的审判。 

  结 32:18> 埃及人怎样看待死亡? 

  32:18 希伯来人认为所有人死后都还有生命,而且有好有坏。埃及人对死后的生命有他们自己的看法(金字塔就是为让法老在另一种生命中过得舒适而建造的)。以西结的信息说,邪恶的国家已经给扔到“阴府”,埃及的命运就是这样。这里所用词句的诗意要胜过其教义(参伯 24:19 ;诗 16:10 ;赛 38:10 和太 25:46 的注释)。这一信息在提醒我们,任何想控制自己的未来及死后的生命却忽视神的人,都极之愚蠢。 

  结 32:21-32> 先知的信息让我们看到怎样的景象? 

  32:21-32 在这些经文中,以西结在坟墓(死后生命所到之处)中间领着我们走了一圈。在坟墓中,神的所有敌人都在审判中被定了罪。他们当中有许多人很快就经受到了他们曾加在别人身上的命运。这里虽然没有提到巴比伦,但读者自己将会得出结论,如果其他所有国家都因反抗神而受到了审判的话,那么巴比伦也会在劫难逃。这些话安慰了被掳的百姓。 

  结 32:24-26> 除了埃及、亚述,受到神审判的还有── 

  32:24-26 以拦是位于亚述东部地区的民族,他的勇士凶猛强悍。他们被尼布甲尼撒所征服,最后又复兴并成为波斯的一部分。米设和土巴位于小亚细亚的东部,也就是今天土耳其的中部。在第 38 和 39 章中,他们被描述为歌革的盟国。歌革是联盟的首领王子。他们都被列入邪恶国家的名单之中,并因与神的百姓争战受到了审判。 

  结 32:30> 32:30 “北方的众王子”大概是腓尼基城巿国家的王子。 

  结 32:32> 巴比伦何以没有出现在受审的国家之列? 

  32:32 读了以西结对外国发出的审判预言,我们也许会奇怪地问:他是否盲目地向本民族效忠呢?其实以西结只在神给他信息的时候说话( 3:27 )。而且,神的百姓犯了罪同神的敌人犯了罪所受到的惩罚是一样的。但如果巴比伦是神的敌人,为什么在以西结所说的审判中没提到呢?这也许有几方面的原因:( 1 )神要增强被掳的人同巴比伦之间的合作精神,以便保守自己的百姓。( 2 )神仍要用巴比伦来炼净百姓。( 3 )神要使用但以理这位巴比伦高层中有权力的官员,吸引巴比伦人归向自己。──《灵修版圣经注释》
