QT 07/09/2025 Sun. Ezekiel 39 The Glory of God's Victory
READ http://www.esv.org/eze39

🌿 Key Verse: Ezekiel 39:7 (ESV)

"And my holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not let my holy name be profaned anymore. And the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel."

📖 Reflection: God's Ultimate Triumph

Ezekiel 39 is part of God's prophecy against Gog, the enemy leader from the land of Magog, symbolizing the forces of evil that come against God's people. It describes a staggering judgment—God Himself bringing victory over the enemy, not by Israel’s strength, but by His divine power.

What’s powerful here is not just the destruction of Israel’s enemies, but the purpose behind it: the revelation of God’s holiness and glory. God acts decisively so that His name will no longer be profaned. He makes Himself known not just to Israel, but to all nations.

In verse 22, it says: “The house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from that day forward.” This is covenant language. God isn’t just fighting for His people; He is re-establishing relationship with them.

✝️ Christ Connection:

Ezekiel 39 points us to the ultimate battle that Christ won—not just against physical enemies, but against sin, death, and Satan. On the cross, Jesus disarmed the powers of darkness (Colossians 2:15), and in His resurrection, declared final victory.

Just like in Ezekiel, God alone gets the glory. It’s not our strength or goodness that secures salvation—it’s God’s mercy, justice, and love poured out through Jesus.

🙏 Application: Living in God's Victory

(1) Trust in God’s Sovereignty
When enemies rise—whether spiritual, emotional, or physical—remember who fights for you. Like Israel, we are often helpless on our own. But God has already declared victory through Christ.

(2) Honour His Holy Name
God’s mission is clear: His name will be known. Let your life reflect that holiness. Don’t profane His name with compromise. Live in a way that honours the One who saved you.

(3) Live with Eternal Perspective
Ezekiel’s prophecy reminds us of the final judgment and the ultimate triumph of God. This world is not the end. Hold fast to faith. Stand firm. God wins.

🙏 Prayer:

Lord God, You are holy and powerful. We praise You for Your mighty acts, for Your justice, and for Your grace. Thank You for fighting for Your people—not only in ancient days but today, through Christ. Help us trust You when we feel surrounded. Let our lives glorify Your name. Teach us to live in the victory Jesus has won. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

QT 07/09/2025 星期日. 以西结书 39 神得胜的荣耀
阅读 http://m.bbintl.org/bible/ncv/Eze/39/

🌿 关键经文：以西结书39:7

“‘我要在我子民以色列中彰显我的圣名，我必不再让我的圣名被亵渎；这样，列国就知道我是耶和华，是以色列中的圣者。

📖 默想：神的终极得胜

以西结书39章记载了神对歌革的预言——这位来自玛各地的敌军首领象征着攻击神子民的邪恶势力。经文描述了震撼的审判——上帝亲自击败仇敌，并非倚靠以色列的实力，而是彰显祂的神圣大能。

此处震撼之处不仅在于以色列仇敌的毁灭，更在于其背后的目的：彰显上帝的圣洁与荣耀。上帝果断行事，使祂的名不再被亵渎。祂不仅向以色列显明自己，更向万国彰显。

第22节宣告：“这样，从那日起，以色列家就必知道我是耶和华他们的　神。”这是立约的语言。神不仅为子民争战，更在重建与他们的关系。

✝️ 基督关联：

以西结书39指向基督赢得的终极战役——不仅战胜了肉体敌人，更战胜了罪恶、死亡与撒旦。耶稣在十字架上使黑暗的权势赤身露体（歌罗西书2:15），并借复活宣告最终胜利。

正如以西结书所言，唯有上帝得着荣耀。得救并非源于我们的力量或良善，而是上帝借着耶稣倾注的怜悯、公义与慈爱。

🙏 应用：活在上帝的胜利中

(1) 信靠上帝的主权
当敌人兴起——无论是属灵的、情感的还是身体的——请记住谁在为你争战。如同以色列，我们独自常常无能为力。但上帝已借基督宣告了胜利。

(2) 尊崇祂圣洁的名
上帝的使命清晰：祂的名必被认识。让你的生命彰显这份圣洁。莫以妥协玷污圣名，当活出荣耀救主的生命。

(3) 持守永恒视野
以西结的预言提醒我们：末日审判终将临到，神的胜利永不改变。今生并非终局，持定信心，站立得稳——神必得胜。

🙏 祷告：

耶和华神，祢是圣洁全能的。我们因祢的大能作为、公义与恩典赞美祢。感谢祢为子民争战——不仅在古时，更在今日借基督施行。当我们四面受敌时，求祢帮助我们信靠祢。愿我们的生命荣耀祢的名，教导我们活在耶稣已赢得的胜利中。奉耶稣的名祷告，阿们。
