旧约 - 撒迦利亚书(Zechariah)第4章

Then the angel who talked with me returned and wakened me, as a man is wakened from his sleep.
He asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lights on it, with seven channels to the lights.
Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left."
I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
He answered, "Do you not know what these are?" "No, my lord," I replied.
So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.
"What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of 'God bless it! God bless it!'"
Then the word of the LORD came to me:
"The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.
"Who despises the day of small things? Men will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. "(These seven are the eyes of the LORD, which range throughout the earth.)"
Then I asked the angel, "What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?"
Again I asked him, "What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?"
He replied, "Do you not know what these are?" "No, my lord," I said.
So he said, "These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth."
撒迦利亚书第四章   亚 4:1> 金灯盏、金灯台,这异象好熟…… 

  4:1 金灯台上的灯盏、七灯及每个灯的七个管子代表灯油源源不绝的供应;橄榄榨的油放在灯盏里,用灯芯点燃发光,表示神的能力会从那灯光显明出来。两棵橄榄树代表祭司和君王的职务。 

  亚 4:6> 神交托重任,祂也必提供资源── 

  4:6 神赐所罗巴伯重任,叫他在耶路撒冷重建圣殿(参拉 3 ; 2 , 8 ;该 1:1 ; 2:23 );先知哈该和撒迦利亚在道德与灵性上鼓励百姓,劝他们恢复重建圣殿的工程。此时所罗巴伯看到重建工作正付诸实施。重建圣殿的工作快要完成时,这两位先知鼓励所罗巴伯,告诉他百姓灵性的麻木以及外族的欺压将要永远被清除。 

  亚 4:6> 势力和才能,都是人依重的,神的看法却大相径庭…… 

  4:6 许多人认为,人要立足于这个世界就必须无所畏惧、坚强、不屈不挠。但神说“不是倚靠势力,不是倚靠才能,乃是倚靠我的灵方能成事。”这句话的重点在“倚靠我(神)的灵”。惟有靠着神的灵,才能完成有永远价值的事。从被掳之地归回的人实在软弱,他们受仇敌骚扰,疲倦、穷困、灰心。但是神实实在在站在他们一方。让我们为神而活,一点也不倚靠自己的力量与才能,只一心一意倚靠神,并且靠圣灵的大能工作!(参何 1:7 ) 

  亚 4:9> 圣殿何年竣工? 

  4:9 重建圣殿的工程于公元前 516 年完成(参拉 6:14-15 )。 

  亚 4:10> 我为神做的工作,和别人的比起来是不是不够好,不够漂亮…… 

  4:10 许多年纪较大的犹太人,因新建的圣殿不及所罗门王建造的圣殿宏伟壮丽而感到失望。但是更大更美的,未必总是更好的。我们为神所做的工作,在当时看来可能微不足道、意义不大,但祂所看重所喜悦的是做得对,并非做得大。为免虚有其表,我们就要在小事上忠心,从现在开始,竭尽所能去做,坦然把工作的结果交给神。 

  亚 4:14> 这两位受膏者是指──
