以西結書39:9-16



39:9 「住以色列城邑的人必出去撿器械,就是大小盾牌、弓箭、梃杖、槍矛,都當柴燒火,直燒七年,
39:10 甚至他們不必從田野撿柴,也不必從樹林伐木;因為他們要用器械燒火,並且搶奪那搶奪他們的人,擄掠那擄掠他們的人。這是主耶和華說的。」
39:11 「當那日,我必將以色列地的谷,就是海東人所經過的谷,賜給歌革為墳地,使經過的人到此停步。在那裡人必葬埋歌革和他的群眾,就稱那地為哈們‧歌革谷。
39:12 以色列家的人必用七個月葬埋他們,為要潔淨全地。
39:13 全地的居民都必葬埋他們。當我得榮耀的日子,這事必叫他們得名聲。這是主耶和華說的。
39:14 他們必分派人時常巡查遍地,與過路的人一同葬埋那剩在地面上的屍首,好潔淨全地。過了七個月,他們還要巡查。
39:15 巡查遍地的人要經過全地,見有人的骸骨,就在旁邊立一標記,等葬埋的人來將骸骨葬在哈們‧歌革谷。
39:16 他們必這樣潔淨那地,並有一城名叫哈摩那。

9 "Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and make fires of the weapons and burn them, shields and bucklers, bow and arrows, clubs and spears; and they will make fires of them for seven years, 10 so that they will not need to take wood out of the field or cut down any out of the forests, for they will make their fires of the weapons. They will seize the spoil of those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, declares the Lord God.
11 "On that day I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers, east of the sea. It will block the travelers, for there Gog and all his multitude will be buried. It will be called the Valley of Hamon- gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land. 13 All the people of the land will bury them, and it will bring them renown on the day that I show my glory, declares the Lord God. 14 They will set apart men to travel through the land regularly and bury those travelers remaining on the face of the land, so as to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make their search. 15 And when these travel through the land and anyone sees a human bone, then he shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon- gog. 16 (Hamonah is also the name of the city.) Thus shall they cleanse the land.

    從先知的預言知道這是多麼激烈的戰爭,讓我們看見死傷的慘重,也看見一切的武器最後都要當柴燒,還要燒到七年之久不僅如此,要埋葬那些死亡的軍人,還要花七個月的時間,最後還要經過七個月來行潔淨

    這樣的預言說明,人是無法與上帝爭抗的,即使再多人、再多的軍隊,也不堪上帝一擊,上帝要保守的,誰也無法將其打敗的

    感謝上帝,祂在基督裡,也必這樣保守我們,甚至死亡都無法傷害我們呢
