旧约 - 哈该书(Haggai)第1章

In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest:
This is what the LORD Almighty says: "These people say, 'The time has not yet come for the LORD'S house to be built.'"
Then the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai:
"Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?"
Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways.
You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."
This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways.
Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored," says the LORD.
"You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?" declares the LORD Almighty. "Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with his own house.
Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops.
I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the oil and whatever the ground produces, on men and cattle, and on the labor of your hands."
Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant of the people obeyed the voice of the LORD their God and the message of the prophet Haggai, because the LORD their God had sent him. And the people feared the LORD.
Then Haggai, the LORD'S messenger, gave this message of the LORD to the people: "I am with you," declares the LORD.
So the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the whole remnant of the people. They came and began to work on the house of the LORD Almighty, their God,
on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month in the second year of King Darius.
哈该书第一章   第 1 章 

  该 1 章 > 先知哈该的信息与其他大多数先知有所不同── 

  1 章 犹太人在公元前 538 年从巴比伦归回耶路撒冷后即重建圣殿,但由于敌人的诸多阻碍,重建工作迟迟未能完成。直至公元前 520 年八月,也就是停工超过十五年之后,哈该重提旧事,鼓励百姓再起来重建圣殿。哈该应该是在被掳期间在巴比伦出生,其后于公元前 538 年与所罗巴伯同回耶路撒冷的(参拉 1-2 章)。除哈该外,撒迦利亚也是鼓励百姓重建圣殿的先知(参拉 5:1 )。 

  该 1:1> 当时犹大的领袖是── 

  1:1 犹大省长所罗巴伯和大祭司约书亚是建殿工程的首脑。他们虽然已成功地重建祭坛,但建殿工作进展缓慢。于是哈该鼓励这两位杰出的领袖和归回的众人去完成这项工程。 

  该 1:2-15> 百姓为自己的事忘记了神的事,是不应该的,连神都忘了,就更不应该了,我是否也会…… 

  1:2-15 百姓遭外邦人敌对,灰心失意之下不但放弃建殿,连神也遗忘了。于是哈该鼓励百姓完成建殿工作。他的言论令百姓回心转意,重拿工具,继续完成停顿已久的工程。 

  该 1:3-6> 若人只会为自己打算,后果── 

  1:3-6 神质问祂的子民:何以你们住在豪华的房屋内,却让圣殿躺在废墟中?圣殿是犹大人与神关系的焦点,但仍是一片荒凉。百姓没有重建圣殿,反而努力美化自己的家。百姓越为生活打算,便越贫乏,因为他们忽略了自己的属灵生命。同样,我们若把神放在首位,我们的百般需要祂都会供给我们,否则,我们怎样努力也是徒劳无功的。只顾肉体的需要,而忽略与神的关系,人只会步向灭亡。

  该 1:6> 百姓追求物质,却总不得满足,问题是…… 

  1:6 百姓没有让神居首,只顾建造和装饰家园,结果总觉物质生活贫乏,无法得着神的福气。其实摩西早已预言忽略神的人会有如此下场(参申 28:38-45 )。 

  该 1:9> 神的事重要,还是我的事重要,说起来容易,做起来难…… 

  1:9 犹大人的问题在于轻重不分。其实,我们在工作、家庭和事奉等方面亦可能犯同一毛病。我们或会看重职业、家庭、假期、甚至娱乐消闲过于神。你看什么最重要呢?神又在你生命中占什么位置呢? 

  该 1:11> 百姓把安全感建在农产丰收上,结果……我呢? 

  1:11 谷物、葡萄和橄榄,都是当时以色列主要的农产品。百姓靠赖这些农产品给他们安全感,而不去敬拜神。结果神要用旱灾来毁灭他们的生计,叫他们回转归向祂。 

  该 1:14-15> 对神的话听时感动,没有行动,这是不是我的表现? 

  1:14-15 哈该首次宣讲神的话语后二十三天,百姓便动工重建圣殿。先知的话能在这样短的时间内得到回应,委实少见。我们听道后往往说:“这一点精辨极了,理应付诸实行。”但一步出教会,就把该做的事忘记了。我们也要像以色列百姓一样坐言起行,每当听到精辨的讲道或教训时,应问问自己可以做些什么,然后订下具体的计划来付诸实行。──《灵修版圣经注释》
