Righteousness Gains the Victory, September 14
从心出发-第257章
“耶和华吩咐基甸说:‘……拆毁你父亲为巴力所筑的坛,砍下坛旁的木偶’”(士6:25)。[1]{FH 269.1}
从心出发-第257章
The Lord said to him, “... tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the wooden image that is beside it.”Judges 6:25.{FH 269.1}[1]
从心出发-第257章
以色列的拯救者在与他同胞的仇敌作战之前,必须先向偶像崇拜宣战。他必须尊重上帝的尊荣过于他父亲的荣誉,视上帝的命令比父母的权威更加义不容辞。[2]{FH 269.2}
从心出发-第257章
The deliverer of Israel must declare war upon idolatry before he went to battle with the enemies of his people. He must esteem the honor of God above the credit of his father and regard the divine commands as more obligatory than parental authority.{FH 269.2}[2]
从心出发-第257章
献祭与上帝的工作原来是指定由祭司和利未人担任的,而且必须在示罗的祭坛上举行;但那设立犹太制度,而又是一切祭物所预表的主,有权柄改变其要求。这一次祂认为需要离开祂指定的条例。以色列人蒙拯救之前,必须先对巴力的敬拜发出严肃的抗议,并且承认耶和华是独一永生的真神,这是极其重要的。[3]{FH 269.3}
从心出发-第257章
The offering of sacrifice unto the Lord had been committed to the priests and Levites and had been restricted to the altar at Shiloh, but He who had established the Jewish economy, and to whom all its services pointed, had power to change its requirements. In this instance He saw fit to depart from the ritual appointment. It was of great importance that the deliverance of Israel should be preceded by a solemn protest against the worship of Baal and an acknowledgment of Jehovah as the only true and living God.{FH 269.3}[3]
从心出发-第257章
当那城的人清早来敬拜巴力时,看见了所发生的事,大感惊讶和愤怒。他们很快就知道是基甸做了这事。看来只有基甸的血能满足那些受了迷惑的偶像崇拜者了。……[4]{FH 269.4}
从心出发-第257章
When the men of the city, early in the morning, came to pay their devotions to Baal, they were greatly surprised and enraged at what had taken place. Soon it was known that Gideon had done this, and then nothing but his blood could satisfy those deluded idolaters....{FH 269.4}[4]
从心出发-第257章
基甸已告诉他父亲约阿施关于天使显现的事和以色列要蒙拯救的应许。他还把上帝要摧毁巴力之坛的命令告诉了他。上帝的灵感动了约阿施的心。他就看明自己所敬拜的那些神甚至没有能力拯救他们自己脱离完全的毁灭,因此也没有能力保护崇拜他们的人。当拜偶像的群众叫嚣着要处死基甸时,约阿施无畏地站出来为他辩护,竭力向百姓说明他们的神多么无能,不值得依赖或崇拜:“你们是为巴力争论吗?你们要救它吗?谁为它争论,趁早将谁治死!巴力若果是神,有人拆毁它的坛,让它为自己争论吧”(士6:31)。……[5]{FH 269.5}
从心出发-第257章
Gideon had told his father, Joash, of the Angel’s visit and the promise that Israel should be delivered. He also related to him the divine command to destroy the altar of Baal. The Spirit of God moved upon the heart of Joash. He saw that the gods whom he had worshipped had no power even to save themselves from utter destruction, and hence they could not protect their worshippers. When the idolatrous multitude clamored for the death of Gideon, Joash fearlessly stood in his defense and endeavored to show the people how powerless and unworthy of trust or adoration were their gods: “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 he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.” ...{FH 269.5}[5]
从心出发-第257章
于是众人不再想用粗暴的手段对待基甸了。当基甸被上帝的灵感动吹角备战的时候,俄弗拉人首先响应,出来聚集跟随他。他以后又传信给他的本族玛拿西支派,以及亚设人,西布伦人和拿弗他利人,大家都愉快地应召而来了。……[6]{FH 269.6}
从心出发-第257章
All thoughts of violence were dismissed, and when, moved by the Spirit of the Lord, Gideon sounded the trumpet of war, they were among the first to gather to him. He then sent messengers throughout his own tribe of Manasseh, and also to Asher, Zebulon, and Naphtali, and all cheerfully obeyed the call....{FH 269.6}[6]

罪恶似乎暂时占据优势,但公义最终将获得胜利。——《时兆》,1881年6月23日。[7]{FH 269.7}
从心出发-第257章
Evil may seem for a time to prevail, but in the end righteousness will gain the victory.—Signs of the Times, June 23, 1881.{FH 269.7}[7]
