旧约 - 以西结书(Ezekiel)第4章

"Now, son of man, take a clay tablet, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it.
Then lay siege to it: Erect siege works against it, build a ramp up to it, set up camps against it and put battering rams around it.
Then take an iron pan, place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward it. It will be under siege, and you shall besiege it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.
"Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the house of Israel upon yourself. You are to bear their sin for the number of days you lie on your side.
I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the house of Israel.
"After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the house of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.
Turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against her.
I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days of your siege.
"Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side.
Weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day and eat it at set times.
Also measure out a sixth of a hin of water and drink it at set times.
Eat the food as you would a barley cake; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel."
The LORD said, "In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them."
Then I said, "Not so, Sovereign LORD! I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead or torn by wild animals. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth."
"Very well," he said, "I will let you bake your bread over cow manure instead of human excrement."
He then said to me: "Son of man, I will cut off the supply of food in Jerusalem. The people will eat rationed food in anxiety and drink rationed water in despair,
for food and water will be scarce. They will be appalled at the sight of each other and will waste away because of their sin.
以西结书第四章   第 4 章 

  结 4:1> 先知预言耶路撒冷将被围困,在先知发预言的方式上对我有何提醒之处? 

  4:1 以西结这样做是向百姓预告耶路撒冷被占和遭毁。神具体地向以西结交代了做什么、说什么、怎么做和怎么说,每个细节都有具体的意思。我们常常会忽视或者不尊重神话语的细微之处,认为神大概不会介意。我们应该像以西结一样,就是在神话语的细节上也要完全地顺服。 

  结 4:4-17> 先知藉着种种象征的动作,是要表达什么信息?百姓有何反应? 

  4:4-17 以西结不寻常的行为象征着耶路撒冷的命运。他向左侧卧了 390 天,是说以色列将受到 390 年的惩罚;然后向右侧卧了 40 天,是说犹大将受到 40 年的惩罚。以西结不能动地方,象征着在耶路撒冷的人将被囚禁在城内。我们知道,以西结并不需要整天卧着,这些经文也交待了神让他在此期间做的其他事情。他获准吃少量的食物,代表着在敌人围城的时候,城中的人尚有口粮可吃。但这食物要用粪来烧烤,象征着犹大的不洁净。 

  不少百姓一定看到了这些景象,在整个过程中也不时地听到了以西结的信息( 3:27 )。可惜的是,他们并未做出应有的回应。我们要学习以西结,有勇气为神作见证。 

  结 4:12-14> 律法视用人粪烤食物为污秽,这预示了犹大将要经历什么景况? 

  4:12-14 以西结求神不要让他用人粪烤食物,因为这违反了洁净的律法(参利 21 , 22 ;申 23:12-14 )。以西结身为祭司,一直小心地遵守这些律法。用人粪作燃料烤食物说明了毁灭。如果城中一切都被烧毁了,也就不可能再继续遵循神献祭的律法了。──《灵修版圣经注释》
