가련한 선지자 하나냐를 보며 오늘날의 교계를 걱정한다
2026.2.10
(렘28:1-17)
1 In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, early in the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people: 2 "This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two years I will bring back to this place all the articles of the LORD'S house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and took to Babylon. 4 I will also bring back to this place Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and all the other exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,' declares the LORD, 'for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'" 5 Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah before the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD. 6 He said, "Amen! May the LORD do so! May the LORD fulfill the words you have prophesied by bringing the articles of the LORD'S house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon. 7 Nevertheless, listen to what I have to say in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people: 8 From early times the prophets who preceded you and me have prophesied war, disaster and plague against many countries and great kingdoms. 9 But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the LORD only if his prediction comes true." 10 Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and broke it, 11 and he said before all the people, "This is what the LORD says: 'In the same way will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations within two years.'" At this, the prophet Jeremiah went on his way. 12 Shortly after the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 13 "Go and tell Hananiah, 'This is what the LORD says: You have broken a wooden yoke, but in its place you will get a yoke of iron. 14 This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will put an iron yoke on the necks of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I will even give him control over the wild animals.'" 15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, "Listen, Hananiah! The LORD has not sent you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies. 16 Therefore, this is what the LORD says: 'I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die, because you have preached rebellion against the LORD.'" 17 In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died.
오늘의 말씀 속 ‘하나냐’ 자칭 선지자라는 존재를 보며
두 구절이 생각난다
하나는 신18:22
또 하나는 렘28:9 오늘의 구절이다
(신18:22)
22 만일 선지자가 있어 여호와의 이름으로 말한 일에 증험도 없고 성취함도 없으면 이는 여호와께서 말씀하신 것이 아니요 그 선지자가 제 마음대로 한 말이니 너는 그를 두려워하지 말지니라
(렘28:9)
9 평화를 예언하는 선지자는 그 예언자의 말이 응한 후에야 그가 진실로 여호와께서 보내신 선지자로 인정받게 되리라
마7:16-20의 ‘열매로 그들을 알지니...’라 말씀하신 예수님의 언급과 더불어
렘23:21 ‘보내지 아니하였거늘’ 이라는 말씀과 더불어
오늘날 하나님의 말씀 성경 이외의 내용을 임의로 연설을 한다는 것
얼마나 기독교가 하나님으로부터 멀어져 있는가를 느끼게 하는 부분이다
렘 5:30–31
“이 땅에 기괴하고 놀라운 일이 있도다. 선지자들은 거짓을 예언하며 제사장들은 자기 권력으로 다스리며 내 백성은 그것을 좋게 여기니 그 결국에는 너희가 어찌 하려느냐.”는 말씀
바벨론에 의해 멸망당할 직전의 종교적 현상이었음을 감안한다면
종말론적 관점에서 작금의 계속 진행되고 있는 시점이 어떻게 더욱 가까워지고 있는가를 실감하게 되는 것 같다
두렵다
그리고 불편하다
오늘도 예레미야의 심경이 내게 밀려오는 것 같아
괴롭기까지 하다
