W2 2013-11-05以賽亞書2
2:1 亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞得默示,論到猶大和耶路撒冷。
2:2 末後的日子,耶和華殿的山必堅立,超乎諸山,高舉過於萬嶺;萬民都要流歸這山。
2:3 必有許多國的民前往,說:來吧,我們登耶和華的山,奔雅各 神的殿。主必將他的道教訓我們;我們也要行他的路。因為訓誨必出於錫安;耶和華的言語必出於耶路撒冷。
2:4 他必在列國中施行審判,為許多國民斷定是非。他們要將刀打成犁頭,把槍打成鐮刀。這國不舉刀攻擊那國;他們也不再學習戰事。
2:5 雅各家啊,來吧!我們在耶和華的光明中行走。
默想: 在二2-5以賽亞先知向以色列人傳達一個盼望光明的未後訊息,對於以色列人耶是他們在苦難中的盼望。就是「耶和華殿的山必堅立」代表以色列人不再有苦難,那是一個沒有戰爭的日子,百姓將要把刀打成犁頭,把槍打成鐮刀,這將是一個美好的和平世界。人們將成群的歸向上帝、尋求上帝,而上帝的道理也被人知曉、遵行。上帝也要施行祂的審判,使一切的人都以認識上帝。在末後的日子,公義與和平將最終成就於列國之中。
對於我們基督徒而言,我們也同樣盼望屬神的日子早日臨到,我們盼望上帝的國臨到,上帝的公義、和平降臨,人們得以一起來敬拜上帝。對我們而言,這是一個盼望的子日,提醒我們,這個日子終將臨到,上帝將以祂的大能,進入我們的歷史,建立一個新的國度,實現祂的國。
題目: 根據本章經文,世界末日會出現那些現象呢?
