得胜的基督-第62章
“耶和华知道完全人的日子;他们的产业要存到永远……蒙耶和华赐福的必承受地土;被祂咒诅的必被剪除”(诗37:18-22)。{CTr 67.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第62章
The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.... For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.Psalm 37:18-22.{CTr 67.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第62章
闪和雅弗于对他们父亲所表示的孝敬,以及藉此对于上帝的律例所表示的尊重,使他们的子孙得到更光明的前途。关于这两个儿子,挪亚预言说:“耶和华闪的上帝,是应当称颂的,愿迦南作闪的奴仆,愿上帝使雅弗扩张,使他住在闪的帐棚里;又愿迦南作他的奴仆”(创9: 26-27)。闪的后裔要作为选民。上帝的约要归与他们,而且上帝所应许的救赎主也要从这一系出来。耶和华是闪的上帝。亚伯拉罕,以色列民以及基督都是闪的后裔。“有耶和华为他们的上帝,这百姓便为有福”(诗144:15)。至于雅弗,他必“住在闪的帐棚里。”雅弗的后裔必要特别分享福音的恩典。……{CTr 67.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第62章
The reverence manifested by Shem and Japheth for their father, and thus for the divine statutes, promised a brighter future for their descendants. Concerning these sons it was declared: “Blessed be Jehovah, God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.” The line of Shem was to be that of the chosen people, of God’s covenant, of the promised Redeemer. Jehovah was the God of Shem. From him would descend Abraham, and the people of Israel, through whom Christ was to come. “Happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.” And Japheth “shall dwell in the tents of Shem.” In the blessings of the gospel the descendants of Japheth were especially to share....{CTr 67.2}[2]

挪亚的预言并不是专横地怒斥某一个人而偏爱另一个人,也没有预定他儿子的品格和命运,只是显明他们各自所选择的人生和所造成的品格必有的结果。这也是上帝因了他们和他们子孙的品格与行为而向他们所显示的旨意。因为一般说来,儿女总要承受父母的性格和习气,并仿效他们的榜样,所以儿女常犯父母所犯的罪,世代相传。这样,含的邪恶和不孝由他的子子孙孙传了下去,使许多后代的人受到咒诅。“一个罪人,能败坏许多善事”(传9:18)。{CTr 67.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第62章
The prophecy of Noah was no arbitrary denunciation of wrath or declaration of favor. It did not fix the character and destiny of his sons. But it showed what would be the result of the course of life they had severally chosen and the character they had developed. It was an expression of God’s purpose toward them and their posterity in view of their own character and conduct. As a rule, children inherit the dispositions and tendencies of their parents, and imitate their example; so that the sins of the parents are practiced by the children from generation to generation. Thus the vileness and irreverence of Ham were reproduced in his posterity, bringing a curse upon them for many generations. “One sinner destroyeth much good.”{CTr 67.3}[3]

在另一方面,闪对于父亲的尊敬所得到的报赏是何等丰厚啊!在他的子孙中出了何等光荣的一系圣人啊!“耶和华知道完全人的日子。”“他的后裔也蒙福”(诗37:18;26)。“所以你要知道耶和华你的上帝,祂是上帝,是信实的上帝,向爱祂守祂诫命的人,守约施慈爱,直到千代”(申7:9)。(PP.117,118){CTr 67.4}[4]

On the other hand, how richly rewarded was Shem’s respect for his father; and what an illustrious line of holy people appears in his posterity! “The Lord knoweth the days of the upright,” “and his seed is blessed.” “Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.”—Patriarchs and Prophets, 117, 118.{CTr 67.4}[4]
