旧约 - 以西结书(Ezekiel)第12章

The word of the LORD came to me:
"Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people.
"Therefore, son of man, pack your belongings for exile and in the daytime, as they watch, set out and go from where you are to another place. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.
During the daytime, while they watch, bring out your belongings packed for exile. Then in the evening, while they are watching, go out like those who go into exile.
While they watch, dig through the wall and take your belongings out through it.
Put them on your shoulder as they are watching and carry them out at dusk. Cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have made you a sign to the house of Israel."
So I did as I was commanded. During the day I brought out my things packed for exile. Then in the evening I dug through the wall with my hands. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulders while they watched.
In the morning the word of the LORD came to me:
"Son of man, did not that rebellious house of Israel ask you, 'What are you doing?'
"Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem and the whole house of Israel who are there.'
Say to them, 'I am a sign to you.' "As I have done, so it will be done to them. They will go into exile as captives.
"The prince among them will put his things on his shoulder at dusk and leave, and a hole will be dug in the wall for him to go through. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land.
I will spread my net for him, and he will be caught in my snare; I will bring him to Babylonia, the land of the Chaldeans, but he will not see it, and there he will die.
I will scatter to the winds all those around him--his staff and all his troops--and I will pursue them with drawn sword.
"They will know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries.
But I will spare a few of them from the sword, famine and plague, so that in the nations where they go they may acknowledge all their detestable practices. Then they will know that I am the LORD."
The word of the LORD came to me:
"Son of man, tremble as you eat your food, and shudder in fear as you drink your water.
Say to the people of the land: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: They will eat their food in anxiety and drink their water in despair, for their land will be stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who live there.
The inhabited towns will be laid waste and the land will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD.'"
The word of the LORD came to me:
"Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel: 'The days go by and every vision comes to nothing'?
Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am going to put an end to this proverb, and they will no longer quote it in Israel.' Say to them, 'The days are near when every vision will be fulfilled.
For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations among the people of Israel.
But I the LORD will speak what I will, and it shall be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, you rebellious house, I will fulfill whatever I say, declares the Sovereign LORD.'"
The word of the LORD came to me:
"Son of man, the house of Israel is saying, 'The vision he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies about the distant future.'
"Therefore say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign LORD.'"
以西结书第十二章   第 12 章 

  结 12 章 > 先知扮演的是一出什么内容的“哑剧”? 

  12 章 以西结扮演的是被掳者的角色。这里所描绘的是将要发生在西底家王和耶路撒冷百姓身上的事情。被掳的人很清楚以西结在做些什么,因为六年前他们被掳离开耶路撒冷到巴比伦的时候,也作了类似的准备。这是在向百姓说明,他们不应该信靠国王或首都来救他们脱离巴比伦军队,只有神能够救他们。希望早日回到家园的被掳者对此感到非常失望。以西结所展示的每处细节经证明都是对的。可是当他警告百姓的时候,许多人却拒绝听从。 

  结 12:10-12> 当时作犹大王的是谁?论到他的结局── 

  12:10-12 西底家是犹大最后一个国王(公元前 597-586 年)。他在以西结奉神的旨意传达信息的时候在耶路撒冷作王。以西结告诉百姓要发生在西底家身上的事情:耶路撒冷要再度被攻,西底家要加入被掳至巴比伦的行列中。尼布甲尼撒要将西底家的双眼剜出来,使他瞎了(参王下 25:3-7 ;耶 52:10-11 )。 

  结 12:21-28> “异象,预言……是指着极远的时候”,我是否也觉得如此呢? 

  12:21-28 这两个简短的信息警告百姓说,神所说的话很快就要应验!还有不到六年的时间,耶路撒冷就要遭到毁灭。但是人们仍在怀疑。不信和虚假的安全感使他们不相信这样的事会发生。使徒彼得在教会里也遇到了这类问题(参彼后 3:9 )。说基督不会再来,或者认为祂的再来是在遥远的未来,与今天无关,都是很危险的事。神所说的一切话都必定发生。不要妄想自己有足够的时间跟神周旋。──《灵修版圣经注释》
