鼓励的豫言（二）

The Prophecies of Encouragement (2)

1读经：撒迦利亚书十章。在本篇信息中，我们要来看撒迦利亚十章里鼓励的豫言。

1Scripture Reading: Zech. 10 In this message we will consider the prophecy of encouragement in Zechariah 10

贰关于主对以色列

II. THE PROPHECY CONCERNING

2慈爱眷顾的豫言

2THE LORD'S LOVING VISITATION TO ISRAEL

3撒迦利亚十章里的豫言是关于主对以色列慈爱的眷顾。我们将要看见，这慈爱的眷顾实际上就是基督临到以色列。

3The prophecy in chapter ten of Zechariah concerns the Lord's loving visitation to Israel. As we will see, this loving visitation is actually Christ's coming to Israel

一主鼓励以色列人求更多的祝福

A. The Lord Encouraging the Children of Israel to Seek More Blessings

4『当春雨的时候，你们要向发闪电的耶和华求雨；祂必为众人降下沛雨，使田野生长菜蔬。』（1。）这里的『雨』表征祝福。求更多的雨就是求更多的祝福。因此，这节说当主向以色列人施恩惠时，主鼓励他们求更多的祝福。当主对我们如此施恩惠的时候，我们该求祂给我们更多的恩惠。神既然赐给我们沛雨，我们该求祂赐更多的雨。这指明我们都需要祷告，向主要丰盛的祝福。

4Ask rain of Jehovah / At the time of spring rain, / Of Jehovah who makes the lightning, / And He will give them showers of rain, / To everyone herbage in the field" (v. 1). The word rain here signifies blessing. To ask for more rain is to seek more blessing. Thus, in this verse the Lord is encouraging the children of Israel to seek more blessings while He would be favorable to them. While the Lord is so favorable to us, we should ask Him to send us even more favor. Since God is giving us showers of rain, we should ask Him for more rain. This indicates that we all need to pray for the Lord's abundant blessing

二主必惩罚假牧人

B. The Lord Punishing the False Shepherds

5二节至三节上半说，『因为家神所言的是虚空，占卜者所见的是虚假，所说的是假梦；他们徒然的安慰人。所以众民如羊流离，因无牧人就受苦。我的怒气向牧人发作，我必惩罚公山羊。』古时候在犹太人中间，有许多人有家神，就是在他们家里的像或假神。这一切的假神和占卜者所说的都是虚空和假梦；他们徒然安慰人。所以众民就如羊流离，因著没有牧人而受苦。三节告诉我们，主的怒气向牧人发作，祂要惩罚公山羊。这里的牧人就是公山羊。正确的牧人乃是申言者，就是正确为神说话的人。

5Verses 2 and 3a say, "The teraphim have spoken vanity, / And the diviners have seen a lie / And have spoken false dreams; they comforted in vain. / Therefore the people have wandered like sheep; / They are afflicted because there is no shepherd. / My anger is kindled against the shepherds, / And I will punish the male goats." Among the Jews in the ancient time, many possessed teraphim, which were images or false gods kept in their homes. All those false gods and all the diviners spoke vanity and false dreams; they comforted in vain. Therefore, the people wandered like sheep. They were afflicted because there was no shepherd. Verse 3 tells us that the Lord'sang er was kindled against the shepherds and that He would punish the male goats. The shepherds here are the male goats. The proper shepherds are the prophets, the proper ones who speak for God

6今天我们在召会生活中有一个美好的实行。我们鼓励每一位圣徒申言；我们要使每一位圣徒成为申言者。今天在主的行动中，在祂的子民中间，最重要的事乃是为祂说话。保罗鼓励众圣徒都申言。（林前十四1，24，31，39上。）

6Today we have a wonderful practice in the church life. We encourage every saint to prophesy; we make every saint a prophet. In the Lord's move among His people today, the most important thing is to speak for Him. Paul encouraged all the saints to prophesy (1 Cor. 14:1, 24, 31, 39a).

三主已眷顾自己的羊群，就是犹大家

C. The Lord Visiting the House of Judah as His Flock

7『因为万军之耶和华眷顾自己的羊群，就是犹大家，必使他们像祂在争战中的骏马。』（亚十3下。）神以这样恩典的方式来到祂的子民那里，眷顾他们。祂眷顾他们，就是基督临到他们。祂乃是在那人耶稣里来的。十章当然没有题到耶稣基督或弥赛亚的名，但我们看到『眷顾』这辞，就该领会那是指基督的眷临。二千年前，祂就在人的形状里来了。这一段圣经说到神羊群的牧人。在新约，主耶稣将自己比作牧人。祂来作真牧人，并责备其他的牧人，就是当时的长老、经学家和祭司。他们是错误的牧人，但主耶稣是独一的牧人。祂甚至告诉我们祂是好牧人，为羊舍命。（约十11，14～15。）一面，主惩罚假牧人；另一面祂这位真牧人，眷顾了自己的羊群。

7Jehovah of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah, / And will make them like His horse of majesty in battle" (Zech. 10:3b). God came to His people in such a gracious way to visit them. His visiting them was Christ's coming to them. He came in the man, Jesus. Of course, chapter ten does not mention the name Jesus Christ or Messiah, but the word visited here should be understood as Christ's coming. Two thousand years ago He came in the form of a man. This portion of the Word speaks about the Shepherd of God's flock. In the New Testament the Lord Jesus likened Himself to a shepherd. He came as the real Shepherd and blamed the other shepherds, who were the elders, the scribes, and the priests. They were the wrong shepherds, but the Lord Jesus was the unique Shepherd. He even told us that He was the good Shepherd who gave up His life for the sheep (John 10:11, 14-15). On the one hand, the Lord punished the false shepherds; on the other hand, He, the real Shepherd, has visited His flock

8祂眷顾了自己的羊群，就使他们像骏马一样。你是绵羊还是骏马﹖我们都需要往前，不再作绵羊，乃要成为骏马。软弱的绵羊被牧人触摸过以后，都要成为骏马。

8By visiting His flock He makes them like a horse of majesty. Are you a sheep or a horse of majesty? We all need to progress so that we are no longer sheep but horses of majesty. After being touched by the Shepherd, every weak sheep will become a horse of majesty

四房角石、木钉、战弓、和一切掌权的，都从犹大而出

D. From Judah Coming Forth the Cornerstone, the Peg, the Battle Bow, and Every Ruler Together

9撒迦利亚十章四节继续说，『房角石、木钉、战弓、和一切掌权的，都从他而出。』这节的『他』，是指前节的犹大。四节指明当我们成为骏马时，我们就成为房角石、木钉、战弓、和一切掌权者的来源。当我们成为骏马时，我们就会产生这四种东西。

9Zechariah 10:4 continues, "From him will come forth the cornerstone, from him the peg, / From him the battle bow, / From him every ruler together." The pronoun him used three times in this verse refers to Judah in the previous verse. Verse 4 indicates that when we become horses of majesty, we become a source of cornerstones, pegs, battle bows, and rulers. When we become horses, we produce these four kinds of things

五犹大家和以法莲人必如勇士践踏仇敌

E. The House of Judah and the People of Ephraim Being as Mighty Men Trampling Their Enemies

10犹大家和以法莲人必如勇士践踏仇敌，因为耶和华与他们同在。（5。）耶和华必坚固犹大家，拯救约瑟家。耶和华必领他们归回，因祂怜恤他们；他们必像未曾被耶和华弃绝的一样。耶和华是他们的神，必应允他们。（6。）他们心中喜乐如同喝酒，必因耶和华欢腾。（7。）这该是今天我们召会生活中的光景和情形。

10The house of Judah and the people of Ephraim will be as mighty men trampling their enemies, for Jehovah is with them (v. 5). Jehovah will strengthen the house of Judah and will save the house of Joseph. Jehovah will bring them back, for He has had compassion on them, and it will be as though Jehovah had not rejected them. Jehovah is their God, and He will answer them (v. 6). Their hearts will rejoice as if with wine, and their hearts will exult in Jehovah (v. 7). This should be our situation and condition in the church life today.

六耶和华要向他们发啸声聚集他们

F. Jehovah Whistling for Them and Gathering Them

11八至十二节启示出主对以色列慈爱眷顾的更多方面。八节说，『我要向他们发啸声聚集他们，因我已经救赎他们；他们的人数必加增，如从前加增一样。』主发啸声，不是尖锐刺耳的，乃是温良、柔和的，有点像小鸟的歌唱。往往在我们晨兴的时候，主就向我们发啸声，呼召我们，聚集我们。九至十节继续说，『我必播散他们在万民中，他们在远方将记念我；他们与儿女都必存活，且得归回。我也必领他们从埃及地归回，招聚他们出亚述；我必领他们到基列地和利巴嫩地，那里必不彀容下他们。』主的子民必定繁增。我相信我们要看见许多新人在地方召会中。那就是在新路中所得真正的繁增。

11Verses 8 through 12 reveal further aspects of the Lord's loving visitation to Israel. Verse 8 says, "I will whistle for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them; / And they will multiply as they have multiplied." The Lord's whistling is not shrill but mild and gentle, somewhat like the singing of a bird. Often during our time of morning revival, the Lord whistles to us, calling us and gathering us to Him. Verses 9 and 10 continue, "I will sow them among the peoples; and in distant lands they will remember Me; / And they will live with their children and return. / I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt / And gather them out of Assyria; / And to the land of Gilead and Lebanon I will bring them; / And there will not be enough room found for them." The Lord'sp eople will surely multiply. I believe that we will see many new ones in the local churches. That will be the real multiplication in the new way

12十一节接著说，『耶和华必经过困苦海，击打海浪，尼罗河的深处都必枯干；亚述的骄傲必遭贬，埃及的权杖必消逝。』这里所说的海乃是红海，与尼罗河一同保护埃及，使其与别处分隔。然而，神要击打红海的海浪，并使尼罗河枯干。十二节下结语说，『我必使他们在耶和华里面得坚固，他们必在祂的名里行走，这是耶和华宣告的。』这里的『我』乃是耶和华，这指明耶和华要使祂的子民在祂自己里面得坚固。然后他们就要在祂的名里行走。在某人的名里，就是与那人是一，因为他就是那名的实际。在神的名里行走，就是在日常的行动、生活、行事上与神

12Verse 11 goes on to say, "He will pass through the sea of distress / And strike the waves in the sea, / And all the depths of the Nile will dry up; / And the pride of Assyria will be brought down." The sea mentioned here is the Red Sea which, along with the Nile, protects Egypt and keeps it separate. However, God will strike the waves in the Red Sea and dry up the Nile. Verse 12 concludes, "I will strengthen them in Jehovah, / And they will walk about in His name, / Declares Jehovah." The I here is Jehovah, indicating that Jehovah will strengthen His people in Himself. They will then walk about in His name. To be in someone's name is to be one with the person who is the reality of that name. To be in God's name is to be one with God in our daily walk, living, walking, and having our being in God's name

13是一，在神的名里行事为人。

14十章整章都是说到神慈爱的眷顾。我们需要领悟并记得，这眷顾实际上就是基督的来临。我能从自己的经历见证，当我们享受主慈爱的眷顾时，我们的光景就如同这一章所描写关于神子民的光景。许多时候，当我们享受这样慈爱的眷顾之后，我们的光景就改变了。在祂的眷顾里，祂鼓励我们寻求更多的祝福。我们是小羊羔，但在祂慈爱的眷顾之后，我们成了骏马。我们不是那么刚强壮胆，但在主的眷顾带著祂宝贵的触摸之后，我们就被加强成为争战中的骏马。至终，主在祂自己里面加强我们，使我们在祂的名里行走。

14All of chapter ten talks about God's loving visitation. We need to realize and remember that this visitation is actually Christ's coming. I can testify from my experience that when we enjoy the Lord's loving visitation, our situation is exactly like that of God'sp eople described in this chapter. Often after we enjoy such a loving visitation, our situation changes. In His visitation He encourages us to seek more blessings. We are little lambs, but after His loving visitation, we become horses. We are not that bold or strong, but after the Lord's visitation with His dear touch, we are strengthened to become horses of majesty in battle. Eventually, the Lord strengthens us in Himself so that we may walk about in His name.
