旧约 - 以西结书(Ezekiel)第15章

The word of the LORD came to me:
"Son of man, how is the wood of a vine better than that of a branch on any of the trees in the forest?
Is wood ever taken from it to make anything useful? Do they make pegs from it to hang things on?
And after it is thrown on the fire as fuel and the fire burns both ends and chars the middle, is it then useful for anything?
If it was not useful for anything when it was whole, how much less can it be made into something useful when the fire has burned it and it is charred?
"Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: As I have given the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest as fuel for the fire, so will I treat the people living in Jerusalem.
I will set my face against them. Although they have come out of the fire, the fire will yet consume them. And when I set my face against them, you will know that I am the LORD.
I will make the land desolate because they have been unfaithful, declares the Sovereign LORD."
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》
