스마라임에서 아비야의 전승사유(戰勝事由) 원인(原因)을 가르쳐 주시는 주님
2023.9.3
(대하13:1-22)
1 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, Abijah became king of Judah, 2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother's name was Maacah, a daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 3 Abijah went into battle with a force of four hundred thousand able fighting men, and Jeroboam drew up a battle line against him with eight hundred thousand able troops. 4 Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, "Jeroboam and all Israel, listen to me! 5 Don't you know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a covenant of salt? 6 Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, an official of Solomon son of David, rebelled against his master. 7 Some worthless scoundrels gathered around him and opposed Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young and indecisive and not strong enough to resist them. 8 "And now you plan to resist the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hands of David's descendants. You are indeed a vast army and have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made to be your gods. 9 But didn't you drive out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and make priests of your own as the peoples of other lands do? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may become a priest of what are not gods. 10 "As for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. The priests who serve the LORD are sons of Aaron, and the Levites assist them. 11 Every morning and evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set out the bread on the ceremonially clean table and light the lamps on the gold lampstand every evening. We are observing the requirements of the LORD our God. But you have forsaken him. 12 God is with us; he is our leader. His priests with their trumpets will sound the battle cry against you. Men of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed." 13 Now Jeroboam had sent troops around to the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah the ambush was behind them. 14 Judah turned and saw that they were being attacked at both front and rear. Then they cried out to the LORD. The priests blew their trumpets 15 and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. At the sound of their battle cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16 The Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands. 17 Abijah and his men inflicted heavy losses on them, so that there were five hundred thousand casualties among Israel's able men. 18 The men of Israel were subdued on that occasion, and the men of Judah were victorious because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers. 19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam and took from him the towns of Bethel, Jeshanah and Ephron, with their surrounding villages. 20 Jeroboam did not regain power during the time of Abijah. And the LORD struck him down and he died. 21 But Abijah grew in strength. He married fourteen wives and had twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters. 22 The other events of Abijah's reign, what he did and what he said, are written in the annotations of the prophet Iddo.

그리고 전략(戰略)에 있어서
사실 아비야는 참패를 당할 수 밖에 없는 것이 일반이라 할 것
그러나 결과는
아비야의 승리
원인은 하나님
바로 하나님을 의존 승리하게 하시니 승리
여로보암은 스마라임 전투에서 500,000명을 잃었고
이내 재기불가(再起不可)
아마도 낙심(落心)중에
조기사망(早期死亡)한 것으로 사료(思料)된다
성경은 일관적으로
하나님께 묻고 승리를 허락받아 시작한 전쟁은
언제나 승리했다는 기록
반대로 그리하지 않은 것은 백전백패(百戰百敗)를 언급한다
[엡6:12]
우리의 씨름은 혈과 육을 상대하는 것이 아니요
통치자들과 권세들과 이 어둠의 세상 주관자들과
하늘에 있는 악의 영들을 상대함이라
에베소서에 언급된 대로
요즘 나는 꼭 그 말씀대로의 앞에 선 상태라는 생각이 든다
통치자들 권세들 어둠의 세상주관자들 하늘에 있는 악한 영들...
주여 이러한 세상 문명문화(文明文化)와 탈종교화시대(脫宗敎化時代)속에서 저는 어떻게 해야 하지요?
오늘도 주님의 지도(指導)
섭리(攝理)
주님의 도통매(道通媒) 될 것을 소원하며
자신도 자신이 하는 일이 무슨 의미인지도 몰랐지만 그의 행위가 역사가 존재하는 그때까지 증거되는 영광을 안은 시몬의 집에 자신의 향유를 깨어 예수님의 머리에 부은 그 여인과 같은 은혜은총긍휼(恩惠恩寵矜恤)을 기대(企待)함으로 오늘 하루를 시작한다
