“耶和华的使者向基甸显现,对他说,大能的勇士啊,耶和华与你同在”(士6:12)。JNN103.1
耶稣超乎万名之名-第94章
And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!”—Judges 6:12{JNN 103.1}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第94章
基甸要求一个记号,使他知道如今向他说话的,就是过去为以色列施行大事的立约的使者。古时上帝的使者向亚伯拉罕显现时,曾留在他那里受他招待;如今基甸也恳留上帝的使者作他的宾客。于是他急忙到帐棚里,从他剩下的一点食物中拿一只山羊羔和一些无酵饼来献在使者的面前。但天使吩咐他“将肉和无酵饼放在这磐石上,把汤倒出来,”基甸就这样行了。于是上帝照着基甸的心愿给他一个记号;天使用他手中的杖挨了肉和无酵饼,就有火从磐石中出来,烧尽了基甸所献的礼物,而天使也就不见了。JNN103.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第94章
Gideon desired some token that the one now addressing him was the Covenant Angel, who in time past had wrought for Israel. Hastening to his tent, he prepared from his scanty storid and unleavened cakes which he brought forth and set before Him. But the Angel bade him, “Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth.” Gideon did so, and then the sign he desired was given: with the staff in His hand, the Angel touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes, anlame bursting from the rock consumed the sacrifice. Then the Angel vanished....{JNN 103.2}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第94章
基甸的父亲约阿施曾在背道的事上与他的同胞有分,并曾在他所住的地方俄弗拉为巴力筑了一座大坛,那城的人就在这里敬拜巴力。上帝吩咐基甸去折毁这坛,而在天使用火焚烧他祭物的磐石上为耶和华筑一座坛,在那里献燔祭与耶和华。献祭与上帝的工作原来是指定由祭司担任的,而且必须在示罗的祭坛上举行;但那设立仪文的礼节,而又是一切祭物所预表的主,有权柄改变自己所定的条例。以色列蒙拯救之前,必须先对巴力的敬拜发出严肃的抗议。基甸在出去与他百姓的仇敌作战之前,必须先向拜偶像之风宣战。JNN103.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第94章
Gideon’s father, Joash, who shared in the apostasy of his countrymen, had erected at Ophraarge altar to Baal. Gideon was commanded to destroy this altar and to erect an altar to Jehovah over the rock on which the offering had been consumed, and there presenacrifice to the Lord. The offering of sacrifice had been committed to the priests and restricted to the altar at Shiloh; but He who had established the ritual service had power to change its requirements. Gideon must declare war on idolatry before going out to battle with the enemies of his people.{JNN 103.3}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第94章
基甸只能暗暗去作;他既有仆人帮助,就在一夜之间把工作完成了。第二天早晨,当俄弗拉的居民来敬拜巴力时,他们看见这事,就大大恼怒。若不是约阿施出来为他儿子辩护──他已经知道天使显现的事,──他们就要把基甸治死了。约阿施说:“你们是为巴力争论吗?你们要救他吗?谁为他争论,趁早将谁治死;巴力若果是神,有人拆毁他的坛,让他为自己争论吧。”如果巴力不能保护自己的坛,他怎能保护敬拜他的人呢??JNN103.4
耶稣超乎万名之名-第94章
Gideon performed the work in secret, with the aid of his servants accomplishing the whole in one night. Great was the rage of the men of Ophrah when they came next morning to pay their devotions to Baal. Joash, who had been told of the Angel’s visit, stood in defense of his son. “Will ye plead for Baal? Will ye save him? He that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning.” If Baal could not defend his own altar, how could he be trusted to protect his worshipers{JNN 103.4}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第94章
于是众人不再想用粗暴的手段对待基甸了,而且当基甸吹角备战的时候,俄弗拉人首先响应,出来聚集在他的旗帜之下。他以后又传信给他的本族玛拿西,以及亚设人、西布伦人和拿弗他利人,大家都应召出来了。(PP547、548)JNN103.5
耶稣超乎万名之名-第94章
All thoughts of violence toward Gideon were dismissed. When he sounded the trumpet of war, the men of Ophrah were among the first to gather to his standard. Heralds were dispatched to his own tribe of Manasseh, and also to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, and all answered the call.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 547, 548.{JNN 103.5}
