奋斗与勇敢-第137章
(撒上2:22-36)
“我指着以利家所说的话,到了时候,我必始终应验在以利身上”(撒上3:12)。{CC 142.1}[1]

1 Samuel 2:22-36[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第137章
以利准许他的儿子担任圣职一事已经铸成大错。他用各种藉口来原谅他们的行为,以致看不出他们的罪;但最后到了一个地步,他再也不能对儿子的罪过装聋作哑了。百姓埋怨他们强暴的行为,以致这个大祭司就甚忧伤烦恼。他不敢再保持缄默了,可是他的两个儿子从小就专顾自己,所以现在也就目中无人了。他们虽看出父亲的忧伤,但刚硬的心肠不为所动。他们听到他温和的劝告,但他们毫不受感;他虽然警告他们罪恶的后果,但他们也没有改变他们邪恶的行为。如果以利能公正地处理他两个邪恶的儿子,他就该革除他们祭司的职分,并处以死刑。(PP577){CC 142.2}[2]

In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. 1 Samuel 3:12. {CC 142.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第137章
年复一年,耶和华迟迟不降祂所宣布的报应。在那几年中,以利很可以多多挽救他过去的失败;但这位老祭司并没有采取有效的步骤,来矫正那污秽耶和华圣所,并使以色列千万人败亡的罪恶。上帝的宽容竟使何弗尼和非尼哈更加心肠刚硬,肆无忌惮。以利曾把那警告并谴责他家的信息通告全国,希望藉此多少抵消他过去疏忽的恶影响。但是百姓和他的儿子都不顾这警告。(PP582){CC 142.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第137章
Eli had greatly erred in permitting his sons to minister in holy office. By excusing their course, on one pretext and another, he became blinded to their sins; but at last they reached a pass where he could no longer hide his eyes from the crimes of his sons. The people complained of their violent deeds, and the high priest was grieved and distressed. He dared remain silent no longer. But his sons had been brought up to think of no one but themselves, and now they cared for no one else. They saw the grief of their father, but their hard hearts were not touched. They heard his mild admonitions, but they were not impressed, nor would they change their evil course though warned of the consequences of their sin. Had Eli dealt justly with his wicked sons, they would have been rejected from the priestly office and punished with death.32 {CC 142.2}[3]

上帝谴责那以罪孽不法之事为儿戏的疏忽,以及那迟于发现它在自称为基督徒的家庭中存在毒害的麻木不仁。祂责成父母应为自己后代的过失与愚昧负大部分的责任。上帝的咒诅非但降在以利儿子们的身上,也降在以利自己的身上,而这可怕的先例也应作为现代父母们的鉴戒。(4T200){CC 142.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第137章
Year after year the Lord delayed His threatened judgments. Much might have been done in those years to redeem the failures of the past, but the aged priest took no effective measures to correct the evils that were polluting the sanctuary of the Lord and leading thousands in Israel to ruin. The forbearance of God caused Hophni and Phinehas to harden their hearts and to become still bolder in transgression. The messages of warning and reproof to his house were made known by Eli to the whole nation. By this means he hoped to counteract, in some measure, the evil influence of his past neglect. But the warnings were disregarded by the people, as they had been by the priests.33 {CC 142.3}[4]
