奋斗与勇敢-第233章
(耶35:1-19)
“耶利米对利甲族的人说,……因你们听从你们先祖约拿达的吩咐,谨守祂的一切诫命,照祂所吩咐你们的去行,所以万军之耶和华以色列的上帝如此说:利甲的儿子约拿达必永不缺人侍立在我面前”(耶35:18,19)。{CC 238.1}[1]

Jeremiah 35:1-19[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第233章
上帝命令耶利米招聚利甲族的人,进入耶和华殿的一间屋子,在他们面前摆上酒,请他们喝。耶利米就照着主所吩咐的作了。但他们却说:“我们不喝酒,因为我们先祖利甲的儿子约拿达曾吩咐我们说,你们与你们的子孙,永不可喝酒”(耶35:6)。{CC 238.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第233章
And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, ... Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, ... therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever. Jeremiah 35:18, 19. {CC 238.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第233章
“耶和华的话临到耶利米说:……你去对犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民说,耶和华说:你们不受教训,不听从我的话吗?利甲的儿子约拿达所吩咐他子孙不可喝酒的话,他们已经遵守,直到今日也不喝酒,因为他们听从先祖的吩咐”(耶35:12-14)。上帝在这里将利甲族人的顺从,和那些不愿听从祂责备和警告话语的百姓的悖逆作了明显的对比。……利甲族人因他们的立即甘心顺从备受赞扬,而上帝的子民却拒绝接受自己先知的谴责。(4T.174,175){CC 238.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第233章
God commanded Jeremiah to gather the Rechabites into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and set wine before them and invite them to drink. Jeremiah did as the Lord commanded him. “But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons forever.” {CC 238.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第233章
如果一个良善聪明的祖先为保守子孙不受放纵的祸害而采取最贤明最有效的方法,他的命令尚且值得子孙严格服从,那么,上帝既比人更为圣洁,祂的权威就应受我们更大的尊重了。我们的创造主和大元帅权能无限,刑罚可畏。祂要用各样的方法使世人看出并悔改他们的罪。祂藉祂仆人的口预言悖逆的危险;祂敲响警钟,忠实地谴责罪恶。祂的子民惟有靠祂的恩典,藉着祂所拣选之使者不息的看顾,才能长保兴盛。祂决不扶持或保卫那些拒绝祂劝告并轻视祂责备的子民。祂或许要延迟祂报应的刑罚;但祂决不能长久停止祂的圣手。(PK425){CC 238.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第233章
“Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, ... Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Lord. The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father’s commandment.” Here God contrasts the obedience of the Rechabites with the disobedience and rebellion of His people, who will not receive His words of reproof and warning.... The Rechabites were commended for their ready and willing obedience, while God’s people refused to be reproved by their prophets.29 {CC 238.3}[4]
