旧约 - 以西结书(Ezekiel)第15章

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?
Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.
And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
以西结书第十五章   第 15 章 

  结 15 章 > 神要使用我们,你预备好没有? 

  15 章 第 15 至 17 章中神给以西结的信息进一步说明,神要毁灭耶路撒冷。第一个信息是关于一棵葡萄树。这棵树一开始就没用,被烧过之后就更没用了。耶路撒冷的百姓对神来说,就是棵没用的葡萄树。他们因为拜偶像,所以遭到了毁灭,连城巿也被烧毁了。以赛亚也曾把以色列国比作一个葡萄园(参赛 5:1-8 )。我们对神是否也变得麻木、不结果子呢?我们如何开始实现神给我们定的计划呢?──《灵修版圣经注释》
