旧约 - 哈该书(Haggai)第2章

On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai:
"Speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people. Ask them,
'Who of you is left who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not seem to you like nothing?
But now be strong, O Zerubbabel,' declares the LORD. 'Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' declares the LORD, 'and work. For I am with you,' declares the LORD Almighty.
'This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear.'
"This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty.
'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD Almighty.
'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the LORD Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the LORD Almighty."
On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Haggai:
"This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Ask the priests what the law says:
If a person carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and that fold touches some bread or stew, some wine, oil or other food, does it become consecrated?'" The priests answered, "No."
Then Haggai said, "If a person defiled by contact with a dead body touches one of these things, does it become defiled?" "Yes," the priests replied, "it becomes defiled."
Then Haggai said, "'So it is with this people and this nation in my sight,' declares the LORD. 'Whatever they do and whatever they offer there is defiled.
"'Now give careful thought to this from this day on--consider how things were before one stone was laid on another in the LORD'S temple.
When anyone came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When anyone went to a wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were only twenty.
I struck all the work of your hands with blight, mildew and hail, yet you did not turn to me,' declares the LORD.
'From this day on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid. Give careful thought:
Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit. "'From this day on I will bless you.'"
The word of the LORD came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month:
"Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I will shake the heavens and the earth.
I will overturn royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother.
"'On that day,' declares the LORD Almighty, 'I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,' declares the LORD, 'and I will make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you,' declares the LORD Almighty."
哈该书第二章   第 2 章 

  该 2:1-9> 人多注重表面的东西,追求名牌、汽车、华宅……可神说── 

  2:1-9 公元前 520 年十月的住棚节,哈该第二次向百姓讲话,其中的老人对六十六年前被毁的圣殿记忆犹新。他们认为所罗门所建的殿宏伟壮丽,但新殿却大不如前,令很多人大为泄气。哈该遂以神的话鼓励他们,指出新殿必较以前辉煌荣耀。圣殿最重要的是有神同在。五百多年之后,耶稣还会踏进这殿堂呢! 

  该 2:4> “当刚强做工”,今天我也为神做工,够不够刚强? 

  2:4 “你们都当刚强做工,因为我与你们同在。”犹大人回转敬拜神,神也应许赐福他们所做的工。况且现在也该是动工的时候了。同样,我们需要祷告、读经和敬拜,而最后也应走出去,成就神要我们完成的事情。我们在教会、家庭和工作上的职分,正是神改变世界的途径,现在就让我们一同鼓起勇气做工吧! 

  该 2:5> 神的灵住在我们中间,这是祂的应许,我如何把握呢? 

  2:5 神领以色列人从埃及这为奴之境进入应许之美地,虽然他们再三犯罪,但神对这群选民的看顾,却从未间断。虽然神因他们的罪而惩罚他们,但是神始终守约,没有离弃他们(参出 29:45-46 )。不论我们遇到什么困难,环境令我们何等沮丧,神依然与我们同在。 

  该 2:6-9> 这几节经文要告诉我们什么? 

  2:6-9 经文的重点从重建耶路撒冷圣殿,转到弥赛亚在世界掌权。“过不多时”一句的着眼点并不限于当今的历史时刻,而是强调神是掌管历史的主宰。祂工作的时间不受人限制,神会按照自己的时间行事(参来 12:26-27 )。 

  该 2:7> “我必震动万国”指的是什么? 

  2:7 神所说令万国震动的审判,不单指现在向罪恶之邦施行的审判,还指末日的审判。 

  该 2:7-9> “后来的荣耀大过先前的荣耀”,神是说── 

  2:7-9 “万国的珍宝”可以有两种解释:( 1 )预言弥赛亚,也就是耶稣会在五百多年后到圣殿来,以荣光和平安充满整个殿堂;( 2 )指圣殿与神的子民蒙神赐福。 

  该 2:8-9> 神的工作是需要人参与的,我参与了多少? 

  2:8-9 神要重建圣殿,祂选择通过人来成就此事。因此,祂虽具有资源,但仍要百姓自愿投身其中。祂的供应充足,只待有人参与。你又是否愿意被神使用呢? 

  该 2:10-19> 善行不能遮盖我们的罪,罪倒会使灵命蒙污── 

  2:10-19 先知在公元前 520 年十二月,列举连串例子,说明东西不会因碰到圣洁之物而成圣,但会因碰到不洁之物而被玷污。随着百姓开始顺服神,神的福气将按应许降临。但他们须明白,自己的罪不会因参与殿内的工作而得蒙洁净,只有悔改顺服才能把罪洗净。如果我们不纠正错误的态度和行为,或继续和罪人保持密切关系,我们圣洁的灵命就会受沾污,得不着圣灵的能力,也无法过圣洁的生活。 

  该 2:14> 把污秽的东西献给神岂不是亵渎神?我该没有这样做吧…… 

  2:14 小孩子吃冰淇淋时,很容易弄得满脸满手,甚至衣服上都是。同样,罪恶和私心也会玷污凡碰到它的东西,甚至为神所作的善行,也会成为不洁。惟一的补救方法,就是由神洁净。 

  该 2:16> “只得了十斗”──那时庄稼的收成竟是…… 

  2:16 谷堆是收割时堆在一起的禾捆。多年来,只有五成的谷物有收成,而酿酒的情况就更差了。 

  该 2:18-19> 人拖延神的工作,神却不拖延赐福,人能不羞愧吗? 

  2:18-19 圣殿一奠基,还没有等到工程完成神就赐福给百姓。祂巴不得赐福给我们,所以往往在人一开始顺服,祂就赐安慰和福气给人。 

  该 2:20-23> 哈该的身分是…… 

  2:20-23 哈该最后的信息显示他不过是神的代言人,要向犹大省长所罗巴伯转达神的圣言。 

  该 2:23> “我必以你为印”……神的应许何等有保障。 

  2:23 文件或书信印上玺印,就如签名一样,证明它具有权威性,正确无讹。神在这里再三保证,弥赛亚必从大卫的家族而生(参太 1:17 )。 

  该 2:23> “因我拣选了你”,这也是对我说的啊! 

  2:23 神结束启示前,给所罗巴伯极大的确据:“因我拣选了你。”这也是我们的确据,我们都是神所拣选的(参弗 1:4 )。要用神的标准来衡量自己,发奋为祂做工。每当灰心失意时,总不要忘记:“神拣选了我。” 

  该 2:23> 以色列人重建圣殿,我们个人需不需要“重建的工程”? 

  2:23 哈该提醒百姓要有正确的价值观,帮助他们消除忧虑,并鼓励他们重建圣殿。我们有时也会像百姓一样,重视个人的享受多过神的工作和真诚的敬拜。但神喜欢我们以祂为首位,祂应许要引导我们,赐力量给我们。──《灵修版圣经注释》
