經文:以賽亞書六十五至六十六章
鑰節:「……但我所看顧的就是虛心痛悔因我話而戰兢的人。」(66:2)
提要

        六十五章,上帝回應前一章的禱告,上帝說反叛祂的子民,祂仍忍耐且繼續伸出援手,但他們並不回應祂(詩50:21),因此祂不再向他們顯現,而那些要認識祂尋找祂的外邦人,祂召他們救贖他們,帶他們安息在祂手臂中(羅10:12~13),使徒保羅證實了這段預言。以賽亞直言猶太人自以為義,他們認為自己比外邦人更好更聖潔(羅10:20、21;徒7:51~53),而事實上他們內心充滿了虛偽和自義。

        他們公開的反叛上帝,拜偶像,交鬼,吃不潔淨的食物,給時運擺筵席,給天命盛酒(65:3~4、11;66:17;民19:16;申18:11;耶19:13;番1:5;林前10:20~21),他們邪惡的態度,引發上帝的憤怒(65:5;詩18:8),而上帝對他們的審判、毀滅、懲罰都將臨到(65:13~14),但因為園中尚餘留了好葡萄,以致祂的子民沒有完全被毀滅(65:8);上帝對所餘剩的人有一個計畫,使他們成為屬靈的真以色列人,也就是新造的人(林後5:17;雅1:18),就像耶路撒冷在上帝禧年的國度中要有一個新名。那些來自外邦的信徒、猶大餘剩子民(65:15;62:2、12;啟2:17;3:12)將歡喜接受上帝的祝福,以前所有的罪都被忘記(65:16;啟21:4;何13:14)。

        在上帝榮耀的國度中,上帝要改變天地,成為新的樣式,像是上帝起初創造的伊甸園一般,也就是天上的新耶路撒冷(彼後3:13;啟21:1;來11:10;12:22;13:14),在上帝創造物身上的咒詛都將不存在,人的壽命將要延長,地將滿了出產,再也沒有壓迫,頑強的動物將成為溫馴和食草,其中最好的是,上帝和人十分親近,上帝並且立時回答人的祈求(65:24)。

        以賽亞書的最後一章,記載千禧年國度的事,在那沒有教會,上帝在天在地都不需住人手所造的房子(啟21:22),其次上帝也不需要犧牲祭,因耶穌基督已成了最完美的犧牲祭,祂並完成殿中的服事,而原先在殿中的服事和犧牲祭已被廢除(徒7:48;17:24~25),上帝所要求的是謙卑悔改的靈和敬畏相信的心,因信徒就是祂的殿,祂要住在其中(66:2;57:15;林前3:16)。

        六十六章的背景,是有關末後的事,敬拜上帝不再是虛有外表的儀式,在基督自己成為贖罪祭之後,原先的祭祀就為上帝所厭惡;當上帝的福音傳給人們時,他們不留意,上帝就不再因他們所獻的祭喜悅了(66:4)。那些敬畏上帝並聽從上帝信息的人,被不信主的猶太人憎惡、輕視、迫害、驅逐(66:5;徒7;22:1;約15:18;太24:9),而這些輕視跟隨耶穌的人,到時將要羞愧,在那一日,無所不知的上帝將以烈怒回報祂的仇敵,使他們被殺滅(66:6,15~18),也在同時,彌賽亞奇妙的建立祂的新國度(66:7~9),所有信祂的人,從各國各地聚集一起,見祂的榮耀和享受平安、喜樂、安慰、供養和豐富的榮耀。新的子民不會閒散的坐著,上帝要顯神蹟在他們當中(66:19;路2:34),差遣他們到各地去傳揚祂榮耀的福音,人要在上帝面前讚美,並接受祂的引導,各地信主的人將成了上帝「君尊的祭司」,服事主,以讚美為祭獻給上帝(66:21;彼前2:9)。

        以賽亞書結束前最後的一瞥是,全人類的情形:上帝的子民在天國(新天新地,啟21:1,4),有永遠的生命和不停止的在祂面前敬拜祂,但邪惡背叛上帝的,要被丟在永火裡(66:24;可9:43~48)。對現在的我們,也有一個強烈的呼召,要我們成為一個守望者,去警告那些將被毀滅的邪惡者,我們一定要傳揚耶穌的好消息給迷失的人,或許能讓這些靈魂免除毀滅,而引導他們得到耶穌永遠的生命。

禱告

        主啊!當我們進入以賽亞預言的真諦中時,我們對您的話顫抖,我們看到您對邪惡人的審判,使我們在您的恩典中依靠您的救恩,我們定意活在您面前敬拜您、愛您、永遠服事您。奉主耶穌聖名,阿們!

Scriptures:Read Isaiah 65&66
Key Verse:". . . But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word. "(Isaiah 66:2b)
Overview

        In chapter 65 we read of God's response to the prayer in the previous chapter. He affirms the rebelliousness of His people to whom He had continually stretched out His hands, thus showing that He was truly longsuffering; but they did not respond (Ps. 50:21). The people to whom He had not revealed Himself in that special way, however, sought Him out and found Him; these are the Gentiles who called out to God and have been saved and brought into His fold (cf. Rom. 10:12-13). The Apostle Paul confirms this interpretation, adding that Isaiah was bold to say such a thing to the self-righteous Jews who thought themselves better and holier than the Gentiles (Rom. 10:20-21; cf. Acts 7:51-53) but were, in fact, full of hypocrisy and self-righteousness.

        In open rebellion against God, they defiled themselves with idolatry, spiritism, unclean food, as well as cultic rituals before the gods Gad ("fortune"), and Meni ("destiny"; 65:3-4, 11; 66:17; cf. Num.l9:16; Deut. 18:11; Jer. 19:13; Zeph. 1:5; 1 Cor. 10:20-21). Their wickedness and impudent attitude so provoked the Lord that He was "fuming" (65:5b; cf. Ps. 18:8), and their judgment, destruction, and punishment were inevitable (65:13-14). Yet because of the few good grapes, they would not be utterly destroyed (65:8). The Lord had a plan for this remnant from whom would come spiritual Israel. They would be a new creation (cf. 2 Cor. 5:17; James 1:18), and just as Jerusalem would receive a new name in His Millenial Kingdom, so also will the true believers who will come from the Gentile nations and the Jewish remnant (65:15; cf. 62:2, 12; Rev. 2:17; 3:12). They will enjoy manifold blessings and their former troubles will be forgotten (65:16b; Rev. 21:4; Hos. 13:14).

        During His glorious Kingdom reign, God will transform the heavens and earth by renewing it to a state similar to that of the garden of Eden. This will be but a foretaste of the new heavenly Jerusalem (2 Pet. 3:13; Rev. 21:1; Heb. 11:10; 12:22; 13:14). The curse upon God's creation will no longer exist. Human life will be lengthened, the land will be fruitful, there will be no oppressors, and the preditory animals will become tame and herbivorous; but greatest of all, God will be so near that there will be instantaneous answer to prayer (65:24).

        In the final chapter of Isaiah, we come to understand that in the Millenial Kingdom there will be no Temple, just as there will not be one in heaven (Rev. 21:22), for the Lord of heaven and earth does not require a house built by man, nor does He require sacrificial animals. Jesus Christ was the final, complete, and perfect sacrifice who came in fulfillment of the Temple service; thus the temple service and sacrificial system is now abolished (Acts 7:48; 17:24-25). What the Lord does require is the humble ("poor"), repentant ("contrite"), and believing hearts of those who fear Him; they are His temples and He dwells within them (66:2; cf. 57:15; 1 Cor. 3:16).

        Since the whole context of chapter 66 concerns the end times, it appears that verse three is to be understood as not merely referring to the externalism in worship, but rather that after Jesus Christ's great sacrifice of Himself, the whole sacrificial system became an abomination to God. He no longer took delight in it, for when He called to them with the message of the Gospel, they did not hear or heed (66:4). Those who feared the Lord and did believe His message were hated, mocked, persecuted, and cast out by the unbelieving Jews (66:5; e.g. Stephen, Acts 7; 22:1; John 15:18; Matt. 24:9). However, those who have mocked the followers of Jesus (whom the Lord "glorified"), will one day be put to shame. In an instant, the omniscient Lord will return in fury to judge and repay His enemies who will all be slain (66:6,15-18a). Also in an instant the Messiah will miraculously establish His new Kingdom (66:7-9) with all His faithful children gathered there from "all nations and tongues" (66:18), that they might see "His glory" and enjoy the peace, delight, comfort, sustenance, and abundance of Jerusalem's glory. They will not sit idle, however, for the Lord, who is the "sign among them" (66:19; cf. Luke 2:34) will send them as His emissaries to declare His glory among the nations, who will willingly pay Him tribute and come under His leadership. There will be faithful believers from these nations who will be a part of the Lord's holy priesthood and servants who will continually offer to Him the sacrifice of praise ("Levis", 66:21; 1 Pet. 2:9).

        The book of Isaiah closes with a glimpse of the final state of all mankind: God's people in the heavenly realm ("the new heavens and the new earth"; Rev. 21:1, 4). His people will have life eternal and will continually come before Him to worship; but the wicked who have rebelled against God will be cast into the unquenchable fire for eternity (66:24; cf. Mark 9:43-48). What a strong appeal for us to become "watchmen" (62:6) who sound out the warning of the coming doom for the wicked. We must proclaim the God News of Jesus to the lost, that we might avert their souls from destruction and lead them to new and eternal life in Christ.

Prayer

        Lord, we have looked with Isaiah into truth and tremble at Your word. We want only to see the word picture of Your judgment on the wicked in the final sentence of Isaiah's prophecy. By four grace we've trusted Your salvation. We determine to throw ourselves daily at Your feet, worship You, and love and serve You forever.
