天父关怀你-第201章
“提斯比人以利亚,对亚哈说:我指着所事奉永生耶和华以色列的上帝起誓,这几年我若不祷告,必不降露,不下雨”(王上17:1)。{OFC183.6}[1]
天父关怀你-第201章
And Elijah the Tishbite, ... said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.1 Kings 17:1.{OFC 210.1}[1]
天父关怀你-第201章
当亚哈的日子,在约但河东基列的群山之间,住着一个大有信心,时常祈祷的提斯比人以利亚。他那无畏的服务注定是要遏制那在以色列中迅速蔓延的背道之风。他虽然住在偏僻的山间,离大城甚远,又没有占据崇高的地位,但他开始工作时,深信上帝必要在他面前预备道路,并帮助他大获成功。他的口中发出有信心有能力的话语;他奉献一生从事于改革的工作。他就是那在旷野中喊着的人声,为要斥责罪恶,抵制邪恶的狂澜。当他来到民众面前谴责罪恶的时候,他的信息对于那些愿意医治因罪恶而患病之心灵的人就成了“基列的乳香”。……{OFC184.1}[2]
天父关怀你-第201章
Among the mountains of Gilead, east of the Jordan, there dwelt in the days of Ahab a man of faith and prayer whose fearless ministry was destined to check the rapid spread of apostasy in Israel. Far removed from any city of renown, and occupying no high station in life, Elijah the Tishbite nevertheless entered upon his mission confident in God’s purpose to prepare the way before him and to give him abundant success. The word of faith and power was upon his lips, and his whole life was devoted to the work of reform. His was the voice of one crying in the wilderness to rebuke sin and press back the tide of evil. And while he came to the people as a reprover of sin, his message offered the balm of Gilead to the sin-sick souls of all who desired to be healed....{OFC 210.2}[2]
天父关怀你-第201章
以利亚奉命向亚哈王传达上天降罚的信息。他并没有寻求作耶和华的使者;而是“耶和华的话临到他”。他为上帝圣工的荣誉大发热心,所以毫不迟疑地顺从了上帝的呼召,虽然他这样做或许要在那恶王手中招致迅速的灭亡。……{OFC184.2}[3]
天父关怀你-第201章
To Elijah was entrusted the mission of delivering to Ahab Heaven’s message of judgment. He did not seek to be the Lord’s messenger; the word of the Lord came to him. And jealous for the honor of God’s cause, he did not hesitate to obey the divine summons, though to obey seemed to invite swift destruction at the hand of the wicked king....{OFC 210.3}[3]
天父关怀你-第201章
以利亚之所以传达这信息,完全在于他运用坚强的信心,确信上帝的圣言决不落空。如果他没有绝对相信他所侍奉的上帝,他就绝不会出现在亚哈面前。以利亚到撒玛利亚来,一路经过了长流不息的溪涧,青翠欲滴的山头,永不干旱的森林。目光所接触的,尽是山川的美景。先知很可以疑问,这些流水潺潺的溪涧怎能成为干涸枯竭?那些富饶肥沃的山谷怎能成为赤地千里呢?但他并没有给不信留下一点地步。他完全相信上帝必要使背道的以色列降卑,藉着刑罚使他们悔改。上天的谕旨已经发出,上帝的圣言决不落空;以利亚冒生命的危险,无畏地完成了他的使命。{OFC184.3}[4]
天父关怀你-第201章
It was only by the exercise of strong faith in the unfailing power of God’s word that Elijah delivered his message. Had he not possessed implicit confidence in the One whom he served, he would never have appeared before Ahab. On his way to Samaria, Elijah had passed by ever-flowing streams, hills covered with verdure, and stately forests that seemed beyond the reach of drought. Everything on which the eye rested was clothed with beauty. The prophet might have wondered how the streams that had never ceased their flow could become dry, or how those hills and valleys could be burned with drought. But he gave no place to unbelief. He fully believed that God would humble apostate Israel, and that through judgments they would be brought to repentance. The fiat of Heaven had gone forth; God’s word could not fail; and at the peril of his life Elijah fearlessly fulfilled his commission.17{OFC 210.4}[4]
