1:1 當三十年四月初五日，以西結〔原文是我〕在迦巴魯河邊被擄的人中，天就開了，得見 神的異象。 In the 1:1 Or (((my))) thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.
1:2 正是約雅斤王被擄去第五年四月初五日， On the fifth of the month--it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin-- 1:3 在迦勒底人之地、迦巴魯河邊，耶和華的話特特臨到布西的兒子祭司以西結；耶和華的靈〔原文是手〕降在他身上。 the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, 1:3 Or ((Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest)) by the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians. 1:3 Or ((Chaldeans)) There the hand of the LORD was upon him. 1:4 我觀看，見狂風從北方颳來，隨著有一朵包括閃爍火的大雲，周圍有光輝；從其中的火內發出好像光耀的精金； I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north--an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 1:5 又從其中顯出四個活物的形像來。他們的形狀是這樣：有人的形像， and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man, 1:6 各有四個臉面，四個翅膀。 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 1:7 他們的腿是直的，腳掌好像牛犢之蹄，都燦爛如光明的銅。 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. 1:8 在四面的翅膀以下有人的手。這四個活物的臉和翅膀乃是這樣： Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings, 1:9 翅膀彼此相接，行走並不轉身，俱各直往前行。 and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved. 1:10 至於臉的形像：前面各有人的臉，右面各有獅子的臉，左面各有牛的臉，後面各有鷹的臉。 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. 1:11 各展開上邊的兩個翅膀相接，各以下邊的兩個翅膀遮體。 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out upward; each had two wings, one touching the wing of another creature on either side, and two wings covering its body. 1:12 他們俱各直往前行。靈往哪裏去，他們就往那裏去，行走並不轉身。 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. 1:13 至於四活物的形像，就如燒著火炭的形狀，又如火把的形狀。火在四活物中間上去下來，這火有光輝，從火中發出閃電。 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it. 1:14 這活物往來奔走，好像電光一閃。 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning. 1:15 我正觀看活物的時候，見活物的臉旁各有一輪在地上。 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 1:16 輪的形狀和顏色〔原文是作法〕好像水蒼玉。四輪都是一個樣式，形狀和作法好像輪中套輪。 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 1:17 輪行走的時候，向四方都能直行，並不掉轉。 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not turn about 1:17 Or ((aside)) as the creatures went. 1:18 至於輪輞，高而可畏；四個輪輞周圍滿有眼睛。 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around. 1:19 活物行走，輪也在旁邊行走；活物從地上升，輪也都上升。 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 1:20 靈往哪裏去，活物就往那裏去；活物上升，輪也在活物旁邊上升，因為活物的靈在輪中。 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 1:21 那些行走，這些也行走；那些站住，這些也站住；那些從地上升，輪也在旁邊上升，因為活物的靈在輪中。 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 1:22 活物的頭以上有穹蒼的形像，看著像可畏的水晶，鋪張在活物的頭以上。 Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked like an expanse, sparkling like ice, and awesome. 1:23 穹蒼以下，活物的翅膀直張，彼此相對；每活物有兩個翅膀遮體。 Under the expanse their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body. 1:24 活物行走的時候，我聽見翅膀的響聲，像大水的聲音，像全能者的聲音，也像軍隊鬨嚷的聲音。活物站住的時候，便將翅膀垂下。 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, 1:24 Hebrew ((Shaddai)) like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings. 1:25 在他們頭以上的穹蒼之上有聲音。他們站住的時候，便將翅膀垂下。 Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 1:26 在他們頭以上的穹蒼之上有寶座的形像，彷彿藍寶石；在寶座形像以上有彷彿人的形狀。 Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, 1:26 Or ((lapis lazuli)) and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. 1:27 我見從他腰以上有彷彿光耀的精金，周圍都有火的形狀，又見從他腰以下有彷彿火的形狀，周圍也有光輝。 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. 1:28 下雨的日子，雲中虹的形狀怎樣，周圍光輝的形狀也是怎樣。這就是耶和華榮耀的形像。我一看見就俯伏在地，又聽見一位說話的聲音。 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

三月五日 「我們若將起初確實的信心，堅持到底，就在基督裏有分了。」希伯來書三章14節 勝利是堅持到最後一步獲得的。在天路歷程一書中描述的危機四伏，越靠近天門，難關越多，那裏有迷樓，疑寨，及溫柔蠱惑之處，把疲倦的旅客誘入致命的夢鄉。旅伴啊！天堂高閣連雲，歷歷在望，正當這個時候，地獄之門卻大開，同時那地獄之門卻最富有吸引力，成了旅客的最大危機。「我們行善，不可喪志；若不灰心，到了時候，就要收成。」（加六9）「所以你們當跑，好叫你們得著獎賞。」（林前九24，直譯） 在苦海的波濤中， 一葉扁舟， 隨著風浪起伏升沈， 這是疑惑之岸吹來的寒風， 何等凜冽陰森。 以信心為錨， 拋在海底， 錨鍊在暴風雨繃得緊緊， 我鎮靜地把握住這救星， 它永遠可靠， 永遠穩妥。 魔鬼的攻擊雖然凶狠， 天使隱藏著， 一時還不顯現， 但我知道真理和正義， 乃為整個宇宙所維護。 在星空遙遠的那邊， 有勝過命運的慈愛， 黑暗過去， 光明之門大開， 我就會見到祂， 我願等待。 ─革萊頓

March 5 "We are made partaker of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end." (Heb. 3:14.) ＩT is the last step that wins; and there is no place in the pilgrim's progress where so many dangers lurk as the region that lies hard by the portals of the Celestial City. It was there that Doubting Casthe stood. It was there that the enchanted ground lured the tired there that the enchanted ground lured the tired traveler to fatal slumber. It is when Heaven's heights are full in view that hell's gate is most persistent and full of deadly peril. "Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." "So run. that ye may obtain." In the bitter waves of woe Beaten and tossed about By the sullen winds that blow From the desolate shores of doubt, Where the anchors that faith has cast Are dragging in the gale, I am quietly holding fast To the things that cannot fail. And fierce though the fiends may fight, And long though the angels hide, I know that truth and right Have the universe on their side; And that somewhere beyond the stars Is a love that is better than fate. When the night unlocks her bars I shall see Him─and I will wait. ─Washington Gladden.

三月五日 神尋找代禱者 「祂見無人拯救、無人代求、甚為詫異。」以賽亞書五十九章16節 從古時，神一直垂聽祂子民中的代禱者並賜下拯救，在這裡我們讀到在有難處的日子裡，神要尋找一個代禱者卻是枉然，祂就詫異！試想——神詫異在祂子民中竟無一人愛祂的百姓到一個地步，或有充足的信心信祂能因著他們的緣故施拯救，並為人代求。如果當時能有一個代禱的人，祂都會施恩；由於連一個代禱的人都沒有，因而帶下神的審判。（參賽六四7；結廿二30—31） 一個代禱者在神的國度裡的地位是何等重要！難道那不是一件希奇的事嗎？神將這樣的權柄賜給人，而竟然無人知道甚麼是抓住祂所賜的能力，而藉禱告將祂的祝福帶到地上來。 讓我們來認識這個地位。當神在祂兒子裡產生新造之後，基督即登上祂的寶座，神國度的擴大之工即交在人的手中；祂永遠活著為我們禱告，禱告乃是最高的運用祂在寶座上為祭司、為君王的特權。基督在天上所要作的一切，都交通於祂地上的子民，在祂神聖的降卑中，神一直定意祂聖靈的工作是隨著祂子民的禱告，神等待著人的代求，表示人心已準備好——準備好他們在何處來接受聖靈，並接受多少。 神藉著神子民的禱告，管理這個世界及神的教會。「神要擴大祂的國度到何等地步」乃根據神百姓在禱告中的信心而定這是一個極大的奧秘是確定不移在他們身上，祂等待著他們。 禱告： 我們的父，開我們的眼睛，使我們看見您樂意給您的兒女，藉著忠心的代禱有份於國度的擴大，使我們真看見這個神聖呼召的榮耀，使我們全心將自己擺在這蒙福的服事中。阿們。

三月五日 祂真是主麼？ 「我卻不以性命為念，也不看為寶貴，只要行完我的路程，成就我從主耶穌所領受的職事……」使徒行傳廿章24節 快樂的意思，是指我其所以被造，和重生之完全成功而言，並不是指某事之成功而言。我們的主以行祂父差祂所行的事為樂，並且說：「您怎麼差我到世上，我也照樣差他們到世上。」（約十七17）我從主領受了職事麼？如果如此，我就當忠於這種職事，以我的生命完成那種職事。想想耶穌所說：「好，你這又良善又忠心的僕人」（太廿五21）這句話，便知道你完成祂差遣你所作的事，是如何的滿意！我們都想找尋我們生命適當之所，不過靈性方面，是要在我們從主領受職事時才能找著。為此，我們必要跟從耶穌；我們必須認識祂不僅是我們個人的救主而已。「我要指示他，為我的名必須受許多的苦難。」 「你愛我麼？」那麼，「你餵養我的羊。」沒有選擇服務的自由，只有絕對忠於我們主的職務；就是你與神最親最密之時所識別的職事。如果你從主耶穌領受了職事，你就知道需要的不是呼召；乃是機會。呼召是你忠於與祂接觸時所領受的職事。這不是說有甚麼一定服務的計劃，指定出來為你，卻是要你無感於其他服務的要求。

三月五日 「……我已經勝了世界」約翰福音十六章33節 神已經為我們戰勝了四個最可怕的仇敵：罪惡、疾病、悲哀、撒但。祂已經承擔了我們的罪，我們只需完全地交託祂。祂受鞭傷使我們得醫治，我們只要從舊疾站立起來，接受祂榮耀的生命和能力。祂也背負起我們的悲哀，我們不應該再有任何憂慮，而該時時喜樂，甚至在災難中仍有讚美。最重要的是，祂為我們戰勝了魔鬼，將牠釘在十字架上，讓牠既被踐踏又丟盡顏面，並且現出牠的原形。 只要我們接受神的救贖，宣稱我們的勝利，我們就能靠羔羊的血，和我們的見證戰勝魔鬼(啟十二11)。 親愛的，我們能戰勝罪惡、疾病、悲哀和撒但嗎？ 雖然爭戰不斷，不要懼怕。 雖然敵人強壯，不要昏倒。 信任你得勝主的能力， 與祂再同儆醒一個時候， 傾聽祂的呼喚：「跟隨我，因為我已為你戰勝了一切。」
