以赛亚书［第六十六章］|Book of Isaiah 66【神的选民将与神永在】
02/09/2022
引言：
这章总结的经文，让人看见到了末后的日子，唯有神的选民，将在神的恩典下与神永远同在！
一、神所看顾与憎恶的人（V1-6）
1. 神看顾虚心痛悔的人（V1-2）
神清楚宣告，祂所喜悦看顾的是那些虚心痛悔、因祂话而战兢的人。 一栋堂皇的教堂未必就有神同在，关键在于懂得谦卑悔改的人。重要的是，有一颗真诚的心，一个虚心痛悔、因祂话而战兢的灵。
2. 神憎恶假冒为善的人（V3-6）
不管我们是献祭或是称颂，假冒为善的事奉最终在神的眼中仍只是‘拣选自己的道路，心里喜悦行可憎恶的事’而已。
神所看重的是人心的动机，假冒为善的人就是偏行己路，拣选神所不喜悦的事，神也必拣选他们所惧怕的结局做为报应！
二、来自神的安慰与审判（V7-18）
1.爱神所爱的乐上加乐（V7-14）
先知提醒我们，属神的选民要有‘爱耶路撒冷的心’，就是爱神所爱的！ 当人能爱神所爱的，爱耶路撒冷，爱以色列，爱教会，这样的人就会得满心的平安喜乐，并且是乐上加乐。在末后的日子，爱神爱人的心是神所看重的！
2.神必审判悖逆的恶民（V15-18）
神的审判如旋风烈焰，悖逆的恶民将受神报应、被神审判，尽都遭殃无一幸免！ 神知道万民的行为与意念，所以神的审判是公义的。那些行污秽之人，不仅不能羞辱神的荣耀；神反而要借着刑罚他们，让万国万民看见神的荣耀！
三、选民将在新天地长存（V19-24）
在以赛亚书结束时，神让选民看见，列国地极的人民，都赶到耶路撒冷敬拜神，外邦人与神的百姓一起在神所造的新天新地中敬拜神。
神给那些爱神遵行神话语的人，非常美好的应许，选民将在新天新地与神永远长存！ 不信神的人这时必受神永远的审判，将在火烤和虫咬中，不断地受永远的痛苦的刑罚！
总结：
以赛亚书结束在神的选民永远居住在新天新地，而拒绝真神的人就会永远灭亡！ 但愿我们倚靠主，不仅自己坚定到底，也帮助别人把握时机得到救恩，坚定到底，与主同行，直到进入新天新地！
Isaiah 66: God's chosen will be with God forever
02/09/2022
Speaker: Ps Daniel + Rev David Tan
Introduction:
The verses summarized in this chapter let us see that in the last days, only God’s chosen people, with God’s grace, will be with God forever!
I. Those whom God cares for and hates (V1-6)
1. God cares for the humble and remorseful (V1-2)
God clearly declares that He is pleased to look after those who are humble and remorseful, and who tremble at His word.
A splendid church may not necessarily have the presence of God, the key lies in those who know how to humble and repent. It is important to have a sincere heart, a remorseful spirit, a spirit that trembles at His word.
2. God hates hypocrites (V3-6)
Regardless of whether we offer sacrifices or praise, hypocrisy is ultimately in God's eyes just ‘choosing our own way and delighting in abominations in our heart’.
What God values is the motives of the human heart. Hypocrites go their own way and choose what is not pleasing to God, and God will choose the outcome they fear as retribution!
II. Consolation and Judgment from God (V7-18)
1. Love what God loves is joy upon joy (V7-14)
The prophet reminds us that God's chosen must have a "love of Jerusalem," which is to love what God loves!
When a person can love what God loves, love Jerusalem, love Israel, and love the church, such a person will be filled with peace and joy, and joy upon joy. In the last days, the heart that loves God and people is what God values!
2. God will judge the rebellious wicked people (V15-18)
God's judgment is like a whirlwind of flames, and the rebellious and wicked people will be punished and judged by God, and they will all suffer and not be spared!
God knows the actions and thoughts of all peoples, so God's judgment is righteous. Those who defile not only cannot dishonour the glory of God; on the contrary, God will punish them so that all nations and peoples will see the glory of God!
III. The chosen will live forever in the new heaven and new earth (V19-24)
At the end of the book of Isaiah, God showed the chosen that the people of all nations rushed to Jerusalem to worship God, and the Gentiles and God’s people worshiped God together in the new heaven and new earth created by God. God has a very beautiful promise to those who love God and obey God's words. The chosen people will live with God forever in the new heaven and new earth! Those who do not believe in God will suffer the eternal judgment of God and will continue to suffer eternal pain and punishment in the fire and worm bites!
Conclusion:
The book of Isaiah ends with God's chosen people living forever in the new heaven and new earth, and those who reject the true God will perish forever! May we rely on the Lord, not only for ourselves to be firm till the end, but also to help others seize the opportunity to obtain salvation, be firm till the end, and walk with the Lord until we enter the new heaven and new earth!
