똑같은 일이라도 사단에 의한 것인지 분별분변(分別分辨) 필요해요

(대상21:1-22:1)
1 Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel. 2 So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, "Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan. Then report back to me so that I may know how many there are." 3 But Joab replied, "May the LORD multiply his troops a hundred times over. My lord the king, are they not all my lord's subjects? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?" 4 The king's word, however, overruled Joab; so Joab left and went throughout Israel and then came back to Jerusalem. 5 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to David: In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand men who could handle a sword, including four hundred and seventy thousand in Judah. 6 But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, because the king's command was repulsive to him. 7 This command was also evil in the sight of God; so he punished Israel. 8 Then David said to God, "I have sinned greatly by doing this. Now, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing." 9 The LORD said to Gad, David's seer, 10 "Go and tell David, 'This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.'" 11 So Gad went to David and said to him, "This is what the LORD says: 'Take your choice: 12 three years of famine, three months of being swept away before your enemies, with their swords overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the LORD--days of plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD ravaging every part of Israel.' Now then, decide how I should answer the one who sent me." 13 David said to Gad, "I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the LORD, for his mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men." 14 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell dead. 15 And God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem. But as the angel was doing so, the LORD saw it and was grieved because of the calamity and said to the angel who was destroying the people, "Enough! Withdraw your hand." The angel of the LORD was then standing at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 16 David looked up and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown. 17 David said to God, "Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I am the one who has sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? O LORD my God, let your hand fall upon me and my family, but do not let this plague remain on your people." 18 Then the angel of the LORD ordered Gad to tell David to go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 19 So David went up in obedience to the word that Gad had spoken in the name of the LORD. 20 While Araunah was threshing wheat, he turned and saw the angel; his four sons who were with him hid themselves. 21 Then David approached, and when Araunah looked and saw him, he left the threshing floor and bowed down before David with his face to the ground. 22 David said to him, "Let me have the site of your threshing floor so I can build an altar to the LORD, that the plague on the people may be stopped. Sell it to me at the full price." 23 Araunah said to David, "Take it! Let my lord the king do whatever pleases him. Look, I will give the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for the grain offering. I will give all this." 24 But King David replied to Araunah, "No, I insist on paying the full price. I will not take for the LORD what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing." 25 So David paid Araunah six hundred shekels of gold for the site. 26 David built an altar to the LORD there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He called on the LORD, and the LORD answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering. 27 Then the LORD spoke to the angel, and he put his sword back into its sheath. 28 At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, he offered sacrifices there. 29 The tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses had made in the desert, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time on the high place at Gibeon. 30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD. 1 Then David said, "The house of the LORD God is to be here, and also the altar of burnt offering for Israel."
인구조사를 한다하여
모두가 하나님께 죄가 되는 것은 아니다
민수기2장 26장 모세의 때에 인구조사가 있었지만
온 이스라엘에게 그 때문에 아무런 사고가 터지지 않았었다
그런데 다윗의 인구조사
하나님은 진노했고
그 때문에 70,000명이나
전염병으로 죽음을 맞이했다는 점
그런 그들 죽음의 책임이 다윗에게 있다는 점
하나님은 그에게 3가지 형벌 선택권을 주셨었다
①3년기근 ②3달 원수들에게 쫓김 ③전염병
한마디로 비겁하고 졸렬하고 대장부답지 못하고 왕답지 못하고 철저이기주의로서의 선택을 다윗이 했다는 점....
은근 화가 치밀어오른다
왜 제 잘못을 제가 책임지지 아니하여
7만명이나 애꿋은 생명을 고통가운데 죽어가게 했느냐를 생각하니...
야속하다는 생각...다윗의 본래의 수준이 어떠한 것인가를 새삼 확인하게 되는 순간을 맞이한다
그런데...이런데... 이랬는데도 다윗을 전무후무(前無後無)하다 할 정도로 하나님 그를 사랑하셨다는 점
그것은 저가 뉘우치고 잘못을 인정하고 용서를 하나님께 구했다는 점
하나님은 그 점을 다른 그 어떤 존재보다 높이 평가
그랬어도... 다윗을 사랑하셨고 전무후무국권(前無後無國權) 은혜은총긍휼자비(恩惠恩寵矜恤慈悲)를 베풀어 주셨다는 점...
사실 언젠가부터
다윗 때문에 죽은 7만명 개개인들을 생각해 볼 때에
그들은 너무도 억울하고 한(恨)에 사무치지 않았을까를 생각해 보게 되었는데...
결과적으로는 그렇지 않을 것이라는 결론에 도달했다
왜냐하면
아마도 그들 중에 대부분은
응당한 죄책에 의한 심판을 받았기 때문이었을 것이고
그렇지 않은 사람들은 고통 가운데 죽었지만 천국에서 눈을 떴을 터이니...
제삼자적 인간적 시각으로 보니 참담하고 안타깝게 여겨질 것은 당연
다윗을 원망할 수 있어도
그로말미암은 하나님의 처사는
그럼에도 정당무흠(正當無欠)하다 할 것이다
그래서 남는 것은
다윗의 회개
그리고 예배명령
그래서 예배의 중요성...이다
아라우나의 타작마당에서의 예배
값을 주고 사는 행위
하여 값있는 다윗 소유의 그곳에서
하나님 지정하신 그곳에서의 예배...
이렇게 중요한 예배
그런데... 점점 빛 바래져 가는 예배의식
이 세대를 걱정하는 마음으로
또 하루의 시작을 한다
