奋斗与勇敢-第131章
(士16:24-31)
“参孙求告耶和华说:主耶和华啊,求祢眷念我”(士16:28)。{CC 136.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第131章
Judges 16:24-31[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第131章
参孙被非利士人戏耍,备受痛苦和羞辱,于是他比过去更清楚地觉悟到自己的软弱;他所受的种种苦难使他痛悔前非。他的头发渐渐长长,他的力气也渐渐恢复了;但他的仇敌既看他是一个被桎梏而无抵抗力的囚徒,所以不觉得有什么危险。{CC 136.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第131章
And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, Remember me. Judges 16:28. {CC 136.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第131章
非利士人把他们的胜利归功于他们的假神;他们庆喜万分,并公然亵渎以色列的上帝。他们定了一个节期来尊荣他们的鱼神,就是海神大衮。百姓和首领从非利士平原的一切城镇乡村都聚集了来;敬拜的人一群一群地挤满了那广大的庙宇,平顶上也挤满了人。这是一个庆祝和欢乐的场合。那时有隆重的献祭仪式,接着有音乐和盛大的宴会。以后,他们带了参孙来,作为大衮神最大的战利品。他一来了,众人就欢呼呐喊。百姓和首领拿他戏耍,并赞扬那把“毁坏他们地”的仇敌交在他们手中的神。过了一时,参孙好象疲乏了,所以要求让他在庙中间托房的两根柱子前靠一靠。于是他默默祷告说:“主耶和华啊,求祢眷念我;上帝啊,求祢赐我这一次的力量,使我在非利士人身上报那剜我双眼的仇。”说完这话,他就用他有力的膀臂抱住柱子说:“我情愿与非利士人同死。”于是尽力屈身,房顶就轰然一声塌了下来,压死了房中所有的众人。“这样,参孙死时所杀的人,比活着所杀的还多。”{CC 136.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第131章
In suffering and humiliation, a sport for the Philistines, Samson learned more of his own weakness than he had ever known before; and his afflictions led him to repentance. As his hair grew, his power gradually returned; but his enemies, regarding him as a fettered and helpless prisoner, felt no apprehensions. {CC 136.2}[3]

偶像和敬拜的人,祭司和平民,武士和贵族,都被埋在大衮庙的瓦砾之下了。其中还有一个巨人的身体,就是上帝所曾拣选拯救祂子民的人。(PP566,567){CC 136.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第131章
The Philistines ascribed their victory to their gods; and, exulting, they defied the God of Israel. A feast was appointed in honor of Dagon, the fish god, “the protector of the sea.” From town and country throughout the Philistine plain the people and their lords assembled. Throngs of worshipers filled the vast temple and crowded the galleries about the roof. It was a scene of festivity and rejoicing. There was the pomp of the sacrificial service, followed by music and feasting. Then, as the crowning trophy of Dagon’s power, Samson was brought in. Shouts of exultation greeted his appearance. People and rulers mocked his misery and adored the god who had overthrown “the destroyer of their country.” After a time, as if weary, Samson asked permission to rest against the two central pillars which supported the temple roof. Then he silently uttered the prayer, “O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines.” With these words he encircled the pillars with his mighty arms; and crying, “Let me die with the Philistines!” he bowed himself, and the roof fell, destroying at one crash all that vast multitude. “So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.” {CC 136.3}[4]

这不再是参孙和非利士人的较量,而是耶和华和大衮之间的较量,于是上帝受感施展祂的大能和无上的权威。(2BC.1007,1008){CC 136.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第131章
The idol and its worshipers, priest and peasant, warrior and noble, were buried together beneath the ruins of Dagon’s temple. And among them was the giant form of him whom God had chosen to be the deliverer of His people.21 {CC 136.4}[5]
