耶和华要赐你一个新名称 You shall inherit a new name from the Lord

以赛亚书 62:3-5 Isaiah 62:3-5

你在耶和华的手中要作为华冠，在你神的掌上必作为冕旒。你必不再称为撇弃的；你的地也不再称为荒凉的。你却要称为我所喜悦的；你的地也必称为有夫之妇。因为耶和华喜悦你，你的地也必归他。少年人怎样娶处女，你的众民也要照样娶你；新郎怎样喜悦新妇，你的神也要照样喜悦你。The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see - a splendid crown in the hand of God. Never again will you be called “The Forsaken City” or “The Desolate Land.” Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight” and “The Bride of God,” for the Lord delights in you
 and will claim you as his bride. Your children will commit themselves to you, O Jerusalem, just as a young man commits himself to his bride. Then God will rejoice over you as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.

耶和华要赐你一个又新又满有福气的名称代替那又旧与受咒诅的名。你必不再称为撇弃（无人关心）的；你的地也不再称为荒凉（不结果子）的。你的地也必称为有夫之妇 （主的子民），也是耶和华喜悦（关心）的城 。在着地 （城）耶和华的子民会全心侍奉你，使地丰满，结果子，将喜乐与荣耀带给我们的主。 The LORD wants to give us a new and blessed name in place of the old and cursed name. Instead of forsaken (abandoned) and desolate (unfruitful), we will be called God’s delight (pleased) and God’s bride (people). And in our place (city) God’s people will commit themselves to serve with us and make our land fruitful, bringing joy and glory to the LORD.

不息的为我们的城邑祷告神 Pray unceasing to God for our city

以赛亚书 62:1-2 Isaiah 62:1-2

我因锡安必不静默，为耶路撒冷必不息声，直到他的公义如光辉发出，他的救恩如明灯发亮。列国必见你的公义；列王必见你的荣耀。你必得新名的称呼，是耶和华亲口所起的。Because I love Zion, I will not keep still. Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem, I cannot remain silent. I will not stop praying for her 
until her righteousness shines like the dawn, and her salvation blazes like a burning torch. The nations will see your righteousness. World leaders will be blinded by your glory. And you will be given a new name by the Lord’s own mouth.

让我们不息声的祷告，为我们的城呼求耶和华，“直到他的公义如光辉发出，他的救恩如明灯发亮，” 直到列国看见耶和华的公义充满着我们的城邑；使列王因着见城邑巨大的荣耀，模糊了他们的眼睛。 Let us not remain silent but pray unceasing to God for our city “until her righteousness shines like the dawn, and her salvation blazes like a burning torch,” and until the nations see God’s righteousness fills our city so brightly that world leaders become blinded by its glory.
   

耶和华的公义好像早期春天的田地 His righteousness is like a garden in early spring

以赛亚书 61:8-11 Isaiah 61:8-11

因为我 －耶和华喜爱公平，恨恶抢夺和罪孽；我要凭诚实施行报应，并要与我的百姓立永约。他们的后裔必在列国中被人认识；他们的子孫在众民中也是如此。凡看见他们的必认他们是耶和华赐福的后裔。我因耶和华大大欢喜；我的心靠神快乐。因他以拯救为衣给我穿上，以公义为袍给我披上，好像新郎戴上华冠，又像新妇佩戴妆饰。田地怎样使百谷发芽，园子怎样使所种的发生，主耶和华必照样使公义和赞美在万民中发出。“For I, the Lord, love justice. I hate robbery and wrongdoing. I will faithfully reward my people for their suffering 
and make an everlasting covenant with them. Their descendants will be recognized 
and honored among the nations. Everyone will realize that they are a people 
the Lord has blessed.” I am overwhelmed with joy in the Lord my God! For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation
 and draped me in a robe of righteousness. I am like a bridegroom in his wedding suit or a bride with her jewels. The Sovereign Lord will show his justice to the nations of the world. Everyone will praise him! His righteousness will be like a garden in early spring, with plants springing up everywhere.

耶和华喜爱公平，并且将公义显示给众国知道。我要凭诚实施行报应他的子民，让他们的后裔在列国中被人认识，凡看见他们的必认他们是耶和华赐福和喜乐的后裔。因他以拯救与公义为衣袍给我们穿上，使众人因我们诵赞他的名。The LORD loves justice and will show it to all the nations of the world. He is faithful to reward his people and cause his descendants be filled with recognition, honor, blessing and joy. He has dressed up his people with salvation and righteousness and everyone who see us with praise his name.

耶和华的公义好像早期春天的田地， 这地使百谷发芽，这园子使所种的发生。His righteousness is like a garden in early spring, with plants springing up everywhere.

人必称你们为神的仆役 You will be called ministers of God

以赛亚书 61:6-7 Isaiah 61:6-7

你们倒要称为耶和华的祭司；人必称你们为我们神的仆役。你们必吃用列国的财物，因得他们的荣耀自夸。你们必得加倍的好处，代替所受的羞辱；分中所得的喜乐，必代替所受的凌辱。在境内必得加倍的產业；永遠之乐必归与你们（原文是他们）。You will be called priests of the Lord, ministers of our God. You will feed on the treasures of the nations and boast in their riches. Instead of shame and dishonor, you will enjoy a double share of honor. You will possess a double portion of prosperity in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.

耶和华的仆人必受神所祝福，吃用列国的财物。他们必得加倍的好处与在神所差派之地得加倍的產业和丰富。 The Lord’s servants will be blessed with the nations’ treasures, enjoy a double share of honor and a double portion of prosperity in the place where God puts them.

圣工的四项工作 Four things of our Sacred Vocation

以赛亚书 61:1-3 Isaiah 61:1-3

主耶和华的灵在我身上；因为耶和华用膏膏我，叫我传好信息给谦卑的人 （贫穷的人），差遣我醫好伤心的人，报告被掳的得释放，被囚的出监牢；报告耶和华的恩年，和我们神报仇的日子；安慰一切悲哀的人，赐华冠与锡安悲哀的人，代替灰尘；喜乐油代替悲哀；赞美衣代替忧伤之灵；使他们称为公义树，是耶和华所栽的，叫他得荣耀。The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.

耶和华仆人的任务有四种： 
1）传播好信息给谦卑的人 （贫穷的人）。
2） 醫治好伤心的人。 
3）报告耶和华的恩年。 
4）安慰一切悲哀的人， 使他们耶和华会赐华冠与锡安，喜乐与赞美。  
The LORD sent his servant for the sacred vocation to do four things: 
1) Bringing good news to the poor. 
2) Proclaiming release and freedom to the captives and prisoners. 
3) Comforting the brokenhearted. 
4) Telling those who mourn the Day of the Lord’s favor, joyous blessing and festive praise. 

耶和华将成为你的光与荣耀 The LORD will be your light and glory

以赛亚书 60:19-22 Isaiah 60:19-22

日头不再作你白昼的光，月亮也不再发光照耀你。耶和华却要作你永遠的光你神要为你的荣耀。你的日头不再下落；你的月亮也不退缩；因为耶和华必作你永遠的光。你悲哀的日子也完毕了。

你的居民都成为义人，永遠得地为业；是我种的栽子，我手的工作，使我得荣耀。至小的族要加增千倍；微弱的国必成为强盛。我―耶和华要按定期速成这事。“No longer will you need the sun to shine by day, nor the moon to give its light by night for the Lord your God will be your everlasting light and your God will be your glory. Your sun will never set;
 your moon will not go down. For the Lord will be your everlasting light. Your days of mourning will come to an end. All your people will be righteous. They will possess their land forever, for I will plant them there with my own hands in order to bring myself glory. The smallest family will become a thousand people and the tiniest group will become a mighty nation. At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”


耶和华正在改造他的人民 God is in the creative effort of transforming lives

以赛亚书 60:15-18 Isaiah 60:15-18

你虽然被撇弃被厌恶，甚至无人经過，我却使你变为永遠的荣华，成为累代的喜乐。你也必吃万国的奶，又吃君王的奶。你便知道我―耶和华是你的救主，是你的救赎主，雅各的大能者。我要拿金子代替铜，拿银子代替铁，拿铜代替木头，拿铁代替石头；并要以和平为你的官长，以公义为你的监督。你地上不再听见强暴的事，境内不再听见荒凉毁灭的事。你必称你的墙为拯救，称你的门为赞美。“Though you were once despised and hated, with no one traveling through you, I will make you beautiful forever, a joy to all generations. Powerful kings and mighty nations
will satisfy your every need, as though you were a child
 nursing at the breast of a queen. You will know at last that I, the Lord, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Israel. I will exchange your bronze for gold, your iron for silver,
your wood for bronze,
and your stones for iron. I will make peace your leader
 and righteousness your ruler. Violence will disappear from your land; the desolation and destruction of war will end. Salvation will surround you like city walls, and praise will be on the lips of all who enter there.

若耶和华能将普通的物质变成贵重的财宝，他能把普通的人物，你与我，改造为他贵重的仆人。 If the Lord could make mundane things into precious things, he could also transform ordinary people like you and I into His precious servants.

以赛亚书 60:8-11 Isaiah 60:8-11

那些飞来如云、又如鸽子向窗户飞回的是谁呢？ 众海岛必等候我，首先是他施的船只，将你的众子连他们的金银从遠方一同带来，都为耶和华 － 你神的名，又为以色列的圣者，因为他已经荣耀了你。外邦人必建筑你的城墙；他们的王必服事你。我曾发怒击打你，现今却施恩怜恤你。你的城门必時常開放，昼夜不关；使人把列国的财物带来归你，并将他们的君王牵引而来。“And what do I see flying like clouds to Israel, like doves to their nests? They are ships from the ends of the earth, from lands that trust in me, led by the great ships of Tarshish. They are bringing the people of Israel home from far away, carrying their silver and gold. They will honor the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has filled you with splendor. Foreigners will come to rebuild your towns, and their kings will serve you. For though I have destroyed you in my anger, I will now have mercy on you through my grace. Your gates will stay open around the clock to receive the wealth of many lands. The kings of the world will be led as captives in a victory procession.”  

让我们反影耶和华的光与荣耀 Let us reflect the light and glory of our God

以赛亚书 60:1-7 Isaiah 60:1-7

兴起，发光！ 因为你的光已经来到！ 耶和华的荣耀发现照耀你。看哪，黑暗遮盖大地，幽暗遮盖万民，耶和华却要显现照耀你；他的荣耀要现在你身上。万国要来就你的光，君王要来就你发现的光辉。你举目向四方观看；众人都聚集来到你这里。你的众子从遠方而来；你的众女也被怀抱而来。那時，你看见就有光荣；你心又跳动又宽畅；因为大海丰盛的货物必转来归你；列国的财宝也必来归你。成群的骆驼，并米甸和以法的独峰驼必遮满你；示巴的众人都必来到；要奉上黄金乳香，又要传说耶和华的赞美。基达的羊群都必聚集到你这里，尼拜约的公羊要供你使用，在我坛上必蒙悦纳；我必荣耀我荣耀的殿。

 “Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see for the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you. Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you. All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance. “Look and see, for everyone is coming home! Your sons are coming from distant lands; your little daughters will be carried home. Your eyes will shine, and your heart will thrill with joy, for merchants from around the world will come to you. They will bring you the wealth of many lands. Vast caravans of camels will converge on you, the camels of Midian and Ephah. The people of Sheba will bring gold and frankincense and will come worshiping the Lord. The flocks of Kedar will be given to you, and the rams of Nebaioth will be brought for my altars. I will accept their offerings, and I will make my Temple glorious.

当耶和华的荣耀升起照耀我们时，我们会兴起，发光， 反射他的荣耀。我们的任务是将他的光荣照众国，使众国归于他的道，承认他是真神。众人会从众国，带着馨香的祭物献在他的祭坛上。 When the glory of the Lord rises over us, we will be brighten up, reflecting his glory. Our job is to let our light shine before the nations so that they may see the light and find the Way (Matthew 5:16). Then, the people and nations will come to the Lord, individuals will come and confess that he is God. They will come from all over the world to worship him and bring fragrant and acceptable offerings to lay before his altar.

耶和华以自己公义的膀臂施行拯救 The LORD himself will bring forth His salvation with a strong arm of justice

以赛亚书 59:15-21 Isaiah 59:15-21

耶和华看见没有公平，甚不喜悦。他见无人拯救，无人代求，甚为诧异，就用自己的膀臂施行拯救，以公义扶持自己。他以公义为铠甲，以拯救为头盔，以报仇为衣服，以热心为外袍。他必按人的行为施报，恼怒他的敌人，报复他的仇敌向众海岛施行报应。如此，人从日落之处必敬畏耶和华的名，从日出之地也必敬畏他的荣耀；因为仇敌好像急流的河水冲来，是耶和华之气所驱逐的。必有一位救赎主来到锡安 － 雅各族中转離過犯的人那里。这是耶和华说的。耶和华说：至於我与他们所立的约乃是这样：我加给你的灵，传给你的话，必不離你的口，也不離你后裔与你后裔之后裔的口，从今直到永遠；这是耶和华说的。The Lord looked and was displeased 
to find there was no justice. He was amazed to see that no one intervened 
to help the oppressed. So he himself stepped in to save them with his strong arm, and his justice sustained him. He put on righteousness as his body armor
 and placed the helmet of salvation on his head. He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance
 and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion. He will repay his enemies for their evil deeds. His fury will fall on his foes. He will pay them back even to the ends of the earth. In the west, people will respect the name of the Lord; in the east, they will glorify him. For he will come like a raging flood tide 
driven by the breath of the Lord. “The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem to buy back those in Israel who have turned from their sins,” says the Lord. “And this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words I have given you. They will be on your lips and on the lips of your children and your children’s children forever.” I, the Lord, have spoken!

耶和华以自己公义的膀臂拯救他的子民。他以公义为铠甲，以拯救为头盔，以报仇为衣服，以热心为外袍施行他的拯救。他是我们的救赎主。他将我们从我们的罪过与我们的敌人救出来。他也与我们立约：他要加给我们他的的灵，传给我们他的话，必不離我们的口。如此，人从日落之处必敬畏耶和华的名，从日出之地也必敬畏他的荣耀。

The LORD himself will step in to save His people with a strong arm of justice. He will bring forth salvation with his body armor
of righteousness and placed the helmet of salvation on his head. He clothes himself with a robe of vengeance
and wraps himself in a cloak of divine passion. He is our Redeemer. He redeems us from our sin and our enemies. And He established His covenant with us, putting His Spirit and His words in us. And in the west, people will respect the name of the Lord; in the east, they will glorify him. From the rising of the sun to the setting of the same, the LORD’s name will be praised.
