奋斗与勇敢-第256章
(拉7:;8:)
“我求王拨步兵马兵帮助我们抵挡路上的仇敌,本以为羞耻,因我曾对王说,我们上帝施恩的手必帮助一切寻求祂的,但祂的能力和忿怒必攻击一切离弃祂的”(拉8:22)。{CC 261.1}[1]

Ezra 7; Ezra 8[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第256章
以斯拉确信上帝一定要为祂的子民完成一番伟大的工作。这就使以斯拉向亚达薛西提出要求,说明他愿意回耶路撒冷去恢复研究圣经的事业,帮助他的弟兄们重建圣城。当以斯拉说明他完全相信以色列的上帝足能保护并眷顾祂的子民时,国王就深受感动。……王派他作玛代波斯国的特使,并赐给他广泛的权柄以实现他的心愿。……{CC 261.2}[2]

For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him. Ezra 8:22. {CC 261.1}[2]

如此,分散外邦的以色列民又得到一次机会,可以回到那与上帝所赐给以色列家的许多应许密切相关的迦南地。……{CC 261.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第256章
Ezra’s faith that God would do a mighty work for His people, led him to tell Artaxerxes of his desire to return to Jerusalem to revive an interest in the study of God’s word and to assist his brethren in restoring the holy city. As Ezra declared his perfect trust in the God of Israel as one abundantly able to protect and care for His people, the king was deeply impressed.... He made him a special representative of the Medo-Persian kingdom, and conferred on him extensive powers for the carrying out of the purposes that were in his heart.... {CC 261.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第256章
在他们面前有几个月的路程。人人都带着自己的妻子儿女和财物,还有为圣殿及其崇祀所预备的大量物资。以斯拉熟知路上必有敌人埋伏,准备抢劫并杀害他和他的队伍;但他没有向王要求武装部队来护送。……{CC 261.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第256章
Thus again the children of the dispersion were given opportunity to return to the land with the possession of which were linked the promises to the house of Israel.... {CC 261.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第256章
以斯拉和他的同人在这事上看到一个好机会,可以在外邦人面前尊上帝的名为大。同时如果以色列人自己能向他们天上的首领表示绝对的信赖,他们对于永生上帝的信心也必增强。因此他们决定要完全信赖祂。他们不要求王派遣卫队。他们不愿给外邦人任何藉口,将那单属于上帝的荣耀归于血肉的膀臂。他们不可让他们外邦的友人对于他们信靠上帝的诚意起一点疑惑。……他们惟有常将上帝的律法摆在面前并竭力顺从,才能得蒙保护。……“所以我们禁食祈求我们的上帝,祂就应允了我们”(拉8:23)。(PK.609-616){CC 261.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第256章
Before them was a journey that would occupy several months. The men were taking with them their wives and children, and their substance, besides large treasure for the temple and its service. Ezra was aware that enemies lay in wait by the way, ready to plunder and destroy him and his company; yet he had asked from the king no armed force for protection.... {CC 261.4}[5]
