Scripture Reading  : Ezekiel 35

Theme                      : End Time Judgement against Edom

 

The salvation of Israel in the future is predicated on God’s judgement of Israel’s enemies. In this chapter, God shows that He will judge Israel’s enemies and bring salvation to Israel. God uses Edom as the epitome of nations that sought to overrun and acquire Israel’s land for themselves. God will judge Edom and other nations like Edom because 1. Edom has continually detested and resented Israel, 2. Edom desires to control the two countries of Israel and Judah and in Edom’s desire to devour Israel, Edom has defamed her with contempt and has spoken boastfully against the Lord, and 3. Edom has failed to recognize the God of Israel as the one true God.

 

Praying the Scripture

All nations and individuals who fail to submit to God and be committed to Him will face God’s judgement in the end. It is foolish to rebel against the King of Kings. Our mission as Christians is to warn people of God’s coming judgement. May we be faithful in proclaiming God’s love, judgement and salvation in Jesus.
 
 
 
 

经文：以西结书35

主题：对以东末日的审判

 

以色列未来的拯救是建立在神对以色列仇敌之审判的基础上。神在这个篇章中表明祂将审判以色列的敌人并使以色列得救。神使用以东做代表，象征凡为自己的利益试着侵占以色列的列国。神将审判以东以及像以东的诸国，因为：一、以东从古至今一直持续不断地憎恨以色列；二、以东渴望能掌控以色列与犹大两国，而在这欲望中，她藐视并诽谤以色列，还对着主说骄傲的话；三、以东看不到以色列的神是那位独一真神。

 

用经文祷告

凡不愿降服并委身于神的国家或人最后都会受到神的审判。与万王之王对抗是愚昧的。身为基督徒，我们的任务是要警戒人有关神即将到来的审判。愿我们能忠心宣告神在耶稣里的爱、审判与救恩。
