站起來！只管傳神的話（結二）中英bilingual

人子阿、要聽我對你所說的話、不要悖逆像那悖逆之家、你要開口喫我所賜給你的。我觀看、見有一隻手向我伸出來、手中有一書卷。他將書卷在我面前展開、內外都寫著字、其上所寫的有哀號、歎息、悲痛的話。（結 2：8-10） 

主前621年生於祭司家庭的以西結先知，成長階段正逢約西亞王宗教改革復興時期，神的話語在王的帶領下誦讀給猶大眾人明白，無論大小都要聽(參王下 23：1-3)，以西結也在其中；然而好景不長，主前609年約西亞王崩，接續三位末代國王皆悖逆硬心不聽耶利米先知所傳的警告，終照著神預言對猶大國的刑罰應驗，以西結先知25歲在巴比倫第二次入侵被擄於迦巴魯河邊，五年後蒙召作先知服事被擄於巴比倫的百姓。 本章延續第一章見「四輪、四活物與神的榮光」的異象後，先知領受差派使命：「傳講從神而來的信息」。 

他對我說、人子阿、你站起來、我要和你說話。他對我說話的時候、靈就進入我裡面、使我站起來、我便聽見那位對我說話的聲音。…我差你往悖逆的國民以色列人那裡去。…這眾子、面無羞恥、心裡剛硬．你要對他們說、主耶和華如此說。他們或聽、或不聽、（他們是悖逆之家）必知道在他們中間有了先知。（參結 2：1-5） 

在神榮耀的形象顯現時，以西結先知已俯伏在地(結 1：28)，也看出人的軟弱。但這時神的靈內駐加添能力得以站立，正如「以西結」在希伯來文的意思：「神必賜力量」。對於悖逆之家的聽或不聽不再是重點，先知的責任在於完成神的差派(結 2：5)，並藉著聖靈降臨幫助而剛強壯膽，為作神的見證(徒 1：8)。 

到了日期、藉著傳揚的工夫、把他的道顯明了．這傳揚的責任、是按著神我們救主的命令交託了我。（多 1：3） 

以西結先知年幼成長時期，處在一個靈糧豐盛的環境，正如現今台灣真耶穌教會現狀，聖靈運行在台灣100年留下滿滿的靈糧、完整的宗教教育傳承，天國福音不再隱藏，神一路帶領我們藉著聖靈的能力「不要怕，只管傳！」將救恩傳揚努力完成使命。 

神既然驗中了我們、把福音託付我們、我們就照樣講、不是要討人喜歡、乃是要討那察驗我們心的神喜歡。(帖前 2：4)

Stand Up! Just Preach God’s Word (Ezekiel 2)

August 25, 2026

"Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you." Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and behold, a scroll was in it. When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were songs of mourning, sighing, and woe. (Ezekiel 2:8-10)  

Prophet Ezekiel was born into a priestly family in 621 BC. His upbringing coincided with the period of religious reformation and revival under King Josiah, when God's word was read aloud under the king's leadership for all the people of Judah to understand, both small and great (cf. 2 Kings 23:1-3), with Ezekiel among them. However, this good era did not last long. After King Josiah passed away in 609 BC, the three succeeding final kings all rebelled with hardened hearts and refused to listen to the warnings preached by Prophet Jeremiah.Eventually, the punishment prophesied by God upon the Kingdom of Judah came to pass. At the age of 25, Prophet Ezekiel was taken captive by the Chebar River during the second Babylonian invasion; five years later, he was called to serve as a prophet to the captives in Babylon. Following the vision in Chapter 1 of the "four wheels, four living creatures, and the glory of God," this chapter continues with the prophet receiving his mission of sending: "Preach the message that comes from God."

He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!" As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me. ... "I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people..." "I am sending you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.' As for them, whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them." (cf. Ezekiel 2:1-5)  

When the glorious appearance of God was revealed, Prophet Ezekiel had already fallen on his face (Ezekiel 1:28), recognizing human weakness. Yet at this moment, the indwelling of God's Spirit added strength to enable him to stand—just as the name "Ezekiel" means in Hebrew: "God will strengthen." Whether the rebellious house listens or fails to listen is no longer the key point; the prophet's responsibility lies in fulfilling God's commission (Ezekiel 2:5) and being strong and courageous through the help of the Holy Spirit to be God's witness (Acts 1:8).

but at the proper time revealed His word in the proclamation, with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior; (Titus 1:3)

During his youth, Prophet Ezekiel grew up in an environment abundant in spiritual food, which mirrors the current state of the True Jesus Church in Taiwan today. With the Holy Spirit moving in Taiwan for 100 years, He has left behind bountiful spiritual food and a complete heritage of religious education. The gospel of the kingdom of heaven is no longer hidden. God guides us all the way through the power of the Holy Spirit to "be not afraid, just preach!"—proclaiming salvation to diligently fulfill our commission.

but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing people, but God who examines our hearts. (1 Thessalonians 2:4)
