Isa 56:1-12.
英文原文
Isa 56:1-12.
THE PREPARATION NEEDED ON THE PART OF THOSE WHO WISH TO BE ADMITTED TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
1. judgment--equity. John the Baptist preached similarly a return to righteousness, as needed to prepare men for Messiah's first coming
(Lu 3:3, 8-14).
So it shall be before the second coming
(Mal 4:4-6).
near to come--
(Mt 3:2; 4:17),
also as to the second coming
(Isa 62:10, 11; Lu 21:28, 31; Ro 13:11, 12; Heb 10:25).
righteousness--answering to "salvation" in the parallel clause; therefore it means righteousness which bringeth salvation
(Isa 46:13; Ro 3:25, 26).

2.
(路 12:43)。
那人——希伯来文 enosh,指"卑微之人",与希伯来文 ish("高位之人")相对。连最卑微的,如"外邦人"和"太监"
(赛 56:4, 6),
也可得这些特权。
这……如此——指下文所言:"守安息日"等
(赛 58:13, 14; 结 20:12)。
这证明安息日就其义务的精意而言,在福音之下仍当有效
(赛 66:23)。
所指明显是福音时代,因为福分并未加于遵守犹太律法之献祭礼仪的人。
持守——取自紧紧抓住某样怕被夺去的宝贵之物的比喻。此处的"安息日"包含新约福音律法之下一切敬拜神的典章。
保守……手……不作……恶——即遵守律法的第二块法版,正如"安息日"指向第一块法版。二者合起来构成人之全德——敬拜神与圣洁的生活。
英文原文
2.
(Lu 12:43).
the man--Hebrew, enosh, "a man in humble life," in contradistinction to Hebrew, ish, "one of high rank." Even the humblest, as "the stranger" and "the eunuch"
(Isa 56:4, 6),
are admissible to these privileges.
this . . . it--what follows: "keeping the Sabbath," &c.
(Isa 58:13, 14; Eze 20:12).
A proof that the Sabbath, in the spirit of its obligation, was to be binding under the Gospel
(Isa 66:23).
That gospel times are referred to is plain, from the blessing not being pronounced on the man who observed the sacrificial ritual of the Jewish law.
layeth hold--image from one grasping firmly some precious object which he is afraid of having forcibly snatched from him. The "Sabbath" here includes all the ordinances of divine worship under the new gospel law.
keepeth . . . hand . . . from . . . evil--The observance of the second table of the law; as the "Sabbath" referred to the first table. Together, they form the whole duty of man, the worship of God and a holy life.

指"归信的外邦人"。
隔绝——从外邦归信的人,不能与本地以色列人同享特权。犹太人与外邦人之间的这一隔墙将被拆毁
(弗 2:14-16)。

等)。太监原是管后宫的,或泛指宫廷的臣宰。
枯树——即不结果子的(参
路 23:31);
不得入以色列的会
(申 23:1-3)。
在福音之下,太监与外邦人将免除宗教与公民上的限制。
英文原文
3. God welcomes all believers, without distinction of persons, under the new economy
(Ac 10:34, 35).
joined . . . to . . . Lord--
(Nu 18:4, 7).
"Proselytes."
separated--Proselytes from the Gentiles were not admitted to the same privileges as native Israelites. This barrier between Jews and Gentiles was to be broken down
(Eph 2:14-16).
eunuch--
(Ac 8:27,
&c.). Eunuchs were chamberlains over harems, or court ministers in general.
dry tree--barren (compare
Lu 23:31);
not admissible into the congregation of Israel
(De 23:1-3).
Under the Gospel the eunuch and stranger should be released from religious and civil disabilities.

要在第二次降临时完全应验
(赛 2:2-4)。
不再献字面的祭,而是属灵的祭,即"祷告"
