安慰并应许的异象（六）

The Visions of Consolation and Promise (6)
1读经：撒迦利亚书六章。撒迦利亚五、六章的异象都与神的审判有关。在五章，飞行之书卷的异象（1～4）启示，神公义的律法及其公正，不能容让地上任何的不义。我们必须与神与人都是对的；不然，就要受神审判。伊法器皿的异象（5～11）给我们看见，地上最邪恶的事乃是商业。商业表面上很好，实际上却很邪恶，满了罪恶。在本篇信息中，我们要接著来看六章所说到的两件事：四辆车的异象，（1～8，）以及印证本书中八个异象的结语。（9～15。）
1Scripture Reading: Zech. 6 The visions in Zechariah 5 and 6 are all concerning God's judgment. In chapter five the vision of the flying scroll (vv. 1-4) reveals that God's righteous law and its justice cannot allow any unrighteousness on earth. We must be right with both God and man; otherwise, we will suffer God's judgment. The vision of the ephah vessel (vv. 5-11) shows us that the most evil thing on earth is commerce. Apparently commerce is something good, but actually it is evil, full of wickedness. In this message we will go on to consider the two matters revealed in chapter six: the vision of the four chariots (vv. 1-8) and the concluding word to confirm the eight visions in this book (vv. 9-15
2捌四辆车的异象六章一至八节说到撒迦利亚书中八个异象的末了一个－四辆车的异象。
2VIII. THE VISION OF THE FOUR CHARIOTS In 6:1-8 we have the last of the eight visions in the book of Zechariah—the vision of the four chariots
一四 辆车的意义
A. The Significance of the Four Chariots
3『我又举目观看，见有四辆车从两山中间出来。』（六1上。）这四辆车表征从地的四角（启七～3）而来的四方之风，（亚六～8，）为著神对地上之罪的审判。这四方之风为神所用，在全宇宙中施行祂的行政；特别是施行祂的审判，不仅审判人，也审判国家、政权和王国。
3"Then I lifted up my eyes again and I saw, and behold, there were four chariots coming forth from between the two mountains" (6:1a). These four chariots signify the four winds (vv. 4-8) from the four corners of the1 earth (Rev. 7:1-3) for God's judgment of sins upon the 4 earth. These four winds are used by God to carry out His administration in the entire universe. In particular, they are used by God to carry out His judgment, not mainly on people but on nations, governments, and kingdoms.
4在撒迦利亚一章十八至二十一节的异象里，撒迦利亚看见四角被兴起来伤害毁灭神的子民以色列。然后，神豫备四『匠人』来毁灭这四角。头一个匠人是波斯帝国，被神主宰的使用来毁灭第一个角巴比伦。波斯是很大的帝国，版图从地中海到印度洋。任何人都不容易征服这么大的帝国。但亚历山大大帝这个年轻人出来，迅速的击败了全波斯帝国。这一切都在神主宰之风的吹动之下，以产生第二个匠人，来毁灭第二个角。然后，该撒犹流带同罗马军队而来，在很短的时间内征服了亚历山大所创建的希腊帝国。罗马帝国，就是末了一个角，一直持续到如今，超过二千年。
4In the vision in Zechariah 1:18-21, Zechariah saw four horns which were raised up to damage and destroy God'sp eople Israel. Then God prepared four "craftsmen" to destroy these four horns. The first of these craftsmen was the Persian Empire, sovereignly used by God to destroy Babylon, the first horn. Persia was a great empire; its territory stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean. Surely it was not easy for anyone to conquer that vast empire. But Alexander the Great, a young man, came and swiftly defeated all of the Persian Empire. This was all under God'ss ove reign blowing of the wind to produce the second craftsman in order to destroy the second horn. Then Julius Caesar came with the Roman army and in a short time conquered the Grecian Empire, founded by Alexander. The Roman Empire, the last horn, has now lasted for over two thousand years.
１ 每辆车套著马
1. Each Chariot Being Equipped with Horses
5『第一辆车套著红马，第二辆车套著黑马，第三辆车套著白马，第四辆车套著有斑点的壮马。』（六2～3。）每辆车套著马，表征神审判的快速行动。从我们的观点看，神的审判可能很慢来到。然而按照神的看法，祂的审判带著快速的行动，很快的来到。
5With the first chariot were red horses, and with the second chariot were black horses, and with the third chariot were white horses, and with the fourth chariot were strong, speckled horses" (6:2-3). That each chariot was equipped with horses signifies the quick movement of God's judgment. From our point of view, God's judgment may be slow in coming. However, according to God's view, His judgment comes swiftly with a quick movement
２ 马有不同颜色
2. Horses of Different Colors
6马有不同的颜色：红、黑、白、和有斑点的，表征神审判的不同方式。
6These horses of different colors, red, black, white, and speckled, signify the different manners of God's judgment
7当主耶稣来的时候，祂要比风更快速；祂要像闪电一样。末了的风要带进基督这位末了、终极的匠人，祂要毁灭敌基督和他的国度，并要踹大酒醡。在一刹那之间，祂要将大人像（但二）从脚趾到头砸碎，了结地上整个人类政权。二两山的意义
7When the Lord Jesus comes, He will be swifter than the wind; He will be like lightning. The last wind will bring in Christ as the last, the consummating, Craftsman, who will destroy Antichrist with his kingdom and tread the great winepress. In an instant He will crush the great human image (Dan. 2) from the toes to the head, terminating the entire human government on this earth. B. The Significance of the Two Mountains
8撒迦利亚六章一节说到两山。这两山表征神在地上审判的见证。四风从两山中间出来，向全地见证说，神是在宝座上，全地也在祂的管理之下。三铜山的意义
8Zechariah 6:1 speaks of two mountains. These two mountains signify a testimony of God's judgment son the earth. From between the two mountains, the four winds come forth to testify to the whole earth that God is on the throne and that the earth is under His administration. C. The Significance of the Mountains of Brass
9『那山是铜山。』（1下。）在豫表上，铜表征审判。因此，这两座铜山表征审判的山。神的审判来作出祂的见证。
9The mountains were mountains of brass" (v. 1b). In typology brass signifies judgment. Thus, these two mountains of brass signify mountains of judgment. God's judgment comes to carry out His testimony
四 那些往北地去的，在北地使神的灵得安息
D. These Who Are Going Forth to the Land of the North Giving Rest to God's Spirit in the Land of the North
10『他又呼叫我说，看哪，那些往北地去的，已在北地使我的灵得安息。』（8。）这表征对亚述、巴比伦等北方之国的审判，（耶一14～，四6，六1，二五9，四六10，结一4，）已经使神的灵得安息。在这些国家身上的审判，对神乃是安慰。
10"Then He called out to me and spoke to me, saying, See, these who are going forth to the land of the north have given My Spirit rest in the land of the north" (v. 8). This signifies that the judgments on the countries of the north, Assyria and Babylon (Jer. 1:14-15; 4:6; 15 6:1; 25:9; 46:10; Ezek. 1:4), have given rest to God's Spirit. The judgment on these countries was a comfort to God.
玖 印证这八个异象的结语
IX. THE CONCLUDING WORD to confirm the eight visions
11神给以色列八个安慰的异象。撒迦利亚六章九至十五节是印证这八个安慰和鼓励之异象的结语。一藉著给大祭司约书亚加冠这些异象得著了印证，乃是藉著给大祭司约书亚（豫表有祭司职分的基督）加冠，连同犹大省长所罗巴伯，豫表有君王职分的基督是大卫的苗，在宝座上并在和平里供祭司职分和君王职分二职。（9～13，）在撒迦利亚的时代以前，没有人同时供二职，因为祭司职分属于利未支派的亚伦家，而君王职分属于犹大支派的大卫家。甚至当乌西雅26:18-王想要篡僭祭司职分，（代下二六18～21，）神就惩罚他，使他长大痲疯，直到他死的日子。在撒迦利亚六章九至十三节，约书亚和所罗巴伯都是基督的豫表。这就是说，两个人同时豫表一个人。基督是惟一同时供祭司职分和君王职分二职的那位。祂来的时候，就把祭司职分和君王职分一起放在祂的肩头上。在全部历史中，只有祂彀资格在神的行政里背负这二职的责任。因此，在希伯来七章，基督同时是大祭司和君王，就是麦基洗德所豫表的。在创世记十四章，麦基洗德先是君王，然后成了祭司来到亚伯拉罕那里，供应他饼和酒。这指明他既是君王又是祭司。因著麦基洗德供有二职，他就豫表基督是那在神的行政里同时供祭司职分和君王职分的一位。
11God gave eight visions to comfort Israel. Zechariah 6:9-15 is the concluding word to confirm the eight visions of comfort, consolation, and encouragement. A. By the Crowning of Joshua the High Priest The visions are confirmed by the crowning of Joshua the high priest—typifying Christ in His priesthood— linked with Zerubbabel the governor of Judah, typifying Christ as the Shoot of David in His kingship, to hold the two offices, the priesthood and the kingship, in peace on His throne (vv. 9-13). Prior to the time of Zechariah, no one had held both offices, for the priesthood is of the tribe of Levi and of the family of Aaron, and the kingship is of the tribe of Judah and of the family of David. King Uzziah, however, tried to usurp the office of the priesthood (2 Chron. 21), but God punished him with leprosy, and he was a leper until the day of his death. In Zechariah 6:9-13 both Joshua and Zerubbabel are a type of Christ. This means that two persons typify one person. Christ is the unique One to hold the two offices, the priesthood and the kingship. When He comes, He will put the priesthood and the kingship together on His shoulders. In all of history He is the only person who is qualified to bear the responsibilities of these two offices in God'sad ministration. Thus, in Hebrews 7 Christ is both the High Priest and the King, as typified by Melchizedek. In Genesis 14 Melchizedek was first a king, and then he came as a priest to Abraham, ministering the bread and the wine. This indicates that he was both a king and a priest. Because Melchizedek bore both offices, he was a type of Christ as the One who would bear both the priesthood and the kingship in God'sad ministration.
二 为著保证重建神殿的完成
B. For the Assurance of the Completion of the Rebuilding of the Temple of God
12『祂必在自己的地方发苗，并要建造耶和华的殿。祂要建造耶和华的殿。』（亚六12下～13上。）这指明六章的结语是为著保证重建神殿的完成。（15。）给约书亚加冠，乃是向以色列人保证，神要作事，以完成神殿的重建。
12He will shoot forth from His place and will build the temple of Jehovah. Indeed, it is He who will build the temple of Jehovah" (Zech. 6:12b-13a). This indicates that the concluding word in chapter six is for the assurance of the completion of the rebuilding of the temple of God (v. 15). The crowning of Joshua was an assurance to the people that God would do something to accomplish the rebuilding of the temple
三 华冠要放在耶和华的殿里作为题醒
C. The Splendid Crown Being as a Reminder in the Temple of Jehovah
13『这华冠要放在耶和华的殿里，题醒…。』（14。）这表征神选民对要来之弥赛亚（基督）的记念。加给约书亚的冠冕从他头上挪去，放进殿里。这冠冕要成为以色列人的题醒，记念要来的弥赛亚，就是那要来作王和祭司，执行神的行政，完成神经纶的一位。
13"The splendid crown will be as a reminder in the temple of Jehovah" (v. 14). This signifies the remembrance of the coming Messiah (Christ) by God's chosen people. The crown with which Joshua was crowned was removed from his head and put in the temple. It was to be a reminder to the children of Israel to remember the coming Messiah, the One who would come to be the King and the Priest to execute God'sad ministration for the fulfillment of God'secon o my.
