끝까지 하나님을 극약처방(劇藥處方)하지 않을 수 없게 만드는 이스라엘
2026.2.19
(렘32:16-35)
16 "After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD: 17 "Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. 18 You show love to thousands but bring the punishment for the fathers' sins into the laps of their children after them. O great and powerful God, whose name is the LORD Almighty, 19 great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to all the ways of men; you reward everyone according to his conduct and as his deeds deserve. 20 You performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt and have continued them to this day, both in Israel and among all mankind, and have gained the renown that is still yours. 21 You brought your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with great terror. 22 You gave them this land you had sworn to give their forefathers, a land flowing with milk and honey. 23 They came in and took possession of it, but they did not obey you or follow your law; they did not do what you commanded them to do. So you brought all this disaster upon them. 24 "See how the siege ramps are built up to take the city. Because of the sword, famine and plague, the city will be handed over to the Babylonians who are attacking it. What you said has happened, as you now see. 25 And though the city will be handed over to the Babylonians, you, O Sovereign LORD, say to me, 'Buy the field with silver and have the transaction witnessed.'" 26 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 27 "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? 28 Therefore, this is what the LORD says: I am about to hand this city over to the Babylonians and to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will capture it. 29 The Babylonians who are attacking this city will come in and set it on fire; they will burn it down, along with the houses where the people provoked me to anger by burning incense on the roofs to Baal and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods. 30 "The people of Israel and Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight from their youth; indeed, the people of Israel have done nothing but provoke me with what their hands have made, declares the LORD. 31 From the day it was built until now, this city has so aroused my anger and wrath that I must remove it from my sight. 32 The people of Israel and Judah have provoked me by all the evil they have done--they, their kings and officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem. 33 They turned their backs to me and not their faces; though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline. 34 They set up their abominable idols in the house that bears my Name and defiled it. 35 They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molech, though I never commanded, nor did it enter my mind, that they should do such a detestable thing and so make Judah sin.
계속적이고 반복적인 이스라엘 민족들의 타락상
하나님은 지속적으로 회개회개(悔改回改)를 바라고 바라심인데...
끝까지 하나님을 극약처방(劇藥處方)하지 않을 수 없게 만드는 이스라엘
가면 갈수록 더욱 심화(深化)되는 하나님 외면(外面) 무례(無禮) 자극(刺戟)
그리고 신성모독(神聖冒瀆)
어찌 하나님의 진노(震怒)가 일순간에 무너지는 댐으로 인한 처참상황(悽慘狀況)이 아닐 수 있겠는가
왕-신하-제사장-선지자-백성
총체적인 타락상을 보이고...
예레미야는 홀로...
그 고독(孤獨)이
오늘 새벽
나를 점령(占領)했다
땅거미가 세력을 확장함을 누가 막을 수 있으려나
하나님의 자비긍휼(慈悲矜恤)을 구하지만
좀처럼 돌이킬 마음 없으신 하나님의 뜻이 나를 짖누른다
그래도 나는
진아사대신명(盡我事待神命)해야 하겠지...
루터와 스피노자가 말했듯... 사과농사 ...해야 하겠지...
아~ 오늘따라
스승 강태국 목사님이 생각난다
그분이 살아생전 평생 반복적으로 하시던 말씀이 생각난다
그리고 밀알
[요12:24]
내가 진실로 진실로 너희에게 이르노니 한 알의 밀이 땅에 떨어져 죽지 아니하면 한 알 그대로 있고 죽으면 많은 열매를 맺느니라
주님!
오늘도 치솟는 보상심리(報償心理)를 꾸짖으며
주님의 뜻 하늘에서 이룬 것 같이 땅에서도 이루어지이다...하는 기도로 하루를 엽니다 주님!
