2. 使你剩下六分之一——旁註,「以六樣災禍擊打你」(即瘟疫、血、大雨、冰雹、火、硫磺,

Eze 38:22);

或「用六個鉤子的鉤子將你拉回」

(Eze 38:4),

六個鉤子即那六樣災禍。更確切地說,「引導你繞行」〔LUDOVICUS DE DIEU 和七十士譯本〕。正如安提阿古被引導(以致敗亡)離開埃及、遠征巴勒斯坦,末後神的大仇敵也必如此。

北方——從極北之處〔FAIRBAIRN〕。

英文原文

2. leave but the sixth part of thee--Margin, "strike thee with six plagues" (namely, pestilence, blood, overflowing rain, hailstones, fire, brimstone,

Eze 38:22);

or, "draw thee back with an hook of six teeth"

(Eze 38:4),

the six teeth being those six plagues. Rather, "lead thee about" [LUDOVICUS DE DIEU and Septuagint]. As Antiochus was led (to his ruin) to leave Egypt for an expedition against Palestine, so shall the last great enemy of God be.

north parts--from the extreme north [FAIRBAIRN].

海島——那些以艦隊和軍隊幫助歌革、住在沿海地區的人,必在自己的土地上受到神烈怒之火的訪察。

英文原文

6. carelessly--in self-confident security.

the isles--Those dwelling in maritime regions, who had helped Gog with fleets and troops, shall be visited with the fire of God's wrath in their own lands.

9-10. 燒燬仇敵的武器暗示屬他們的任何東西都不得存留以玷污這地。耗時七年(「七」是神聖的數字)在這工作上,暗示潔淨的完全以及百姓對純潔的熱忱。這與古時的以色列人何等不同——他們不僅留下了兵器,更讓外邦人本身留在他們中間〔FAIRBAIRN〕,

(士一27-28,二2-3; 詩一零六34-36)。

安提阿古的荒涼始於西流基王朝第一百四十一年。從這日期到一四八年,共六年四個月(「二千三百日」,

但八14),

當殿的敬拜恢復時(馬加比一書四52),神賜給祂百姓許多勝利;從那時到安提阿古之死,即一四九年初,共七個月期間,猶太人得享脫離安提阿古的安息,潔淨了他們的地,並在九月二十五日慶祝了獻殿節,即獻殿和潔淨聖殿的節期

(約十22)。 整個時期以整數計算為七年。馬提亞是愛國的猶太領袖,他的第三子猶大是在其手下擊敗敘利亞將領的軍事統帥。他收復了耶路撒冷並潔淨了聖殿。他的兄弟西門和約拿單繼承了他:猶太人的獨立得以確保,王冠歸於哈斯摩尼家族,並一直延續到大希律。

英文原文

9, 10. The burning of the foe's weapons implies that nothing belonging to them should be left to pollute the land. The seven years (seven being the sacred number) spent on this work, implies the completeness of the cleansing, and the people's zeal for purity. How different from the ancient Israelites, who left not merely the arms, but the heathen themselves, to remain among them [FAIRBAIRN],

(Jud 1:27, 28; 2:2, 3; Ps 106:34-36).

The desolation by Antiochus began in the one hundred and forty-first year of the Seleucidæ. From this date to 148, a period of six years and four months ("2300 days,"

Da 8:14),

when the temple-worship was restored (1 Maccabees 4:52), God vouchsafed many triumphs to His people; from this time to the death of Antiochus, early in 149, a period of seven months, the Jews had rest from Antiochus, and purified their land, and on the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month celebrated the Encænia, or feast of dedication

(Joh 10:22)

and purification of the temple. The whole period, in round numbers, was seven years. Mattathias was the patriotic Jewish leader, and his third son, Judas, the military commander under whom the Syrian generals were defeated. He retook Jerusalem and purified the temple. Simon and Jonathan, his brothers, succeeded him: the independence of the Jews was secured, and the crown vested in the Asmonean family, in which it continued till Herod the Great.

11. 墳墓之地——歌革期望的是征服的戰利品,結果只得到了一個墳墓。

谷——屍體數量如此龐大,只有一個深谷才能容納。

海東邊的行人——即那些行走在死海以東大路上、從敘利亞前往佩特拉和埃及的旅客。大路的公開性使許多人能觀察到神的審判,因為臭氣(如英文譯本所譯)或大量墳墓(如 HENDERSON 所譯「必阻塞行人」)將引起路人的注意。他們的墳墓將緊鄰他們古時的先例——死海中的所多瑪和蛾摩拉——兩者同樣是神審判的顯著實例。

英文原文

11. place . . . of graves--Gog found only a grave where he had expected the spoils of conquest.

valley--So vast were to be the masses that nothing but a deep valley would suffice for their corpses.

the passengers on the east of the sea--those travelling on the high road, east of the Dead Sea, from Syria to Petra and Egypt. The publicity of the road would cause many to observe God's judgments, as the stench (as English Version translates) or the multitude of graves (as HENDERSON translates, "it shall stop the passengers") would arrest the attention of passers-by. Their grave would be close to that of their ancient prototypes, Sodom and Gomorrah in the Dead Sea, both alike being signal instances of God's judgments.

14. 與路人——持續從事埋葬工作的人要得到路過者的幫助;所有人要合力。

過了七個月他們必搜查——查看工作是否完成〔MUNSTER〕。

14. with the passengers--The men employed continually in the burying were to be helped by those happening to pass by; all were to combine.

after the end of seven months shall they search--to see if the work was complete [MUNSTER].

15. 首先「全國百姓」從事埋葬工作七個月;然後在七個月結束時,派專人搜查是否還有未埋的。路人幫助他們,在這類骸骨附近豎立記號,以免別人因無意觸摸而被玷污,也讓埋葬的人來將之移走。這表示要細心將異教污染的每一痕跡從聖地除去的周到用心。

英文原文

15. First "all the people of the land" engaged in the burying for seven months; then special men were employed, at the end of the seven months, to search for any still left unburied. The passers-by helped them by setting up a mark near any such bones, in order to keep others from being defiled by casually touching them, and that the buriers might come and remove them. Denoting the minute care to put away every relic of heathen pollution from the Holy Land.

16. 附近的一座城將取名為哈摩那(Hamonah),意為「群眾」,以紀念敵軍群眾的覆滅〔HENDERSON〕。這眾多的被殺者在那地得著潔淨之後,將為耶路撒冷城賦予一名〔GROTIUS〕。耶路撒冷將因戰勝群眾而聞名。

英文原文

16. A city in the neighborhood was to receive the name Hamonah, "multitude," to commemorate the overthrow of the multitudes of the foe [HENDERSON]. The multitude of the slain shall give a name to the city of Jerusalem after the land shall have been cleansed [GROTIUS]. Jerusalem shall be famed as the conqueror of multitudes.

(啟 19:17)。

獻祭——古時敬拜者以祭物為筵席。神邀請飛鳥與野獸赴祂所預備的祭筵(參

賽 18:6; 34:6; 番 1:7; 可 9:49)。

在此圖畫中,這祭筵只佔次要地位,故列於最後。他們的骸骨不僅長久不得埋葬,更要被猛獸與猛禽剝去血肉。

英文原文

17.

(Re 19:17).

sacrifice--Anciently worshippers feasted on the sacrifices. The birds and beasts of prey are invited to the sacrificial feast provided by God (compare

Isa 18:6; 34:6; Zep 1:7; Mr 9:49).

Here this sacrifice holds only a subordinate place in the picture, and so is put last. Not only shall their bones lie long unburied, but they shall be stripped of the flesh by beasts and birds of prey.

(詩 22:12)。

約但河外的巴珊以其肥壯的牲畜聞名。「肥」暗示繁榮,這往往使人對神悖逆

英文原文

18. rams . . . lambs . . . goats--By these various animal victims used in sacrifices are meant various ranks of men, princes, generals, and soldiers (compare

Isa 34:6).

fatlings of Bashan--ungodly men of might

(Ps 22:12).

Bashan, beyond Jordan, was famed for its fat cattle. Fat implies prosperity which often makes men refractory towards God

(De 32:14, 15).
