Encouragements to Trust in God. . 1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. 2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd. 3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. 4 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together. Gracious things and glorious ones, very glorious and very gracious, were promised to this poor afflicted people in the foregoing chapter; now here God intimates to them that he will for these things be enquired of by them, and that he expects they should acknowledge him in all their ways and in all his ways towards them--and not idols that were rivals with him for their respects. I. The prophet directs them to apply to God by prayer for rain in the season thereof. He had promised, in the close of the foregoing chapter, that there should be great plenty of corn and wine, whereas for several years, by reason of unseasonable weather, there had been great scarcity of both; but the earth will not yield its fruits unless the heavens water it, and therefore they must look up to God for the dew of heaven, in order to the fatness and fruitfulness of the earth ( Zechariah 10:1 ; Zechariah 10:1 ): " Ask you of the Lord rain. Do not pray to the clouds, nor to the stars, for rain, but to the Lord; for he it is that hears the heavens, when they hear the earth, " Hosea 2:21 . Seasonable rain is a great mercy, which we must ask of God, rain in the time of the latter rain, when there is most need of it. The former rain fell at the seed-time, in autumn, the latter fell in the spring, between March and May, which brought the corn to an ear and filled it. If either of these rains failed, it was very bad with that land; for from the end of May to September they never had any rain at all. Jerome, who lived in Judea, says that he never saw any rain there in June or July. They are directed to ask for it in the time when it used to come. Note, We must, in our prayers, dutifully attend the course of Providence; we must ask for mercies in their proper time, and not expect that God should go out of his usual way and method for us. But, since sometimes God denied rain in the usual time as a token of his displeasure, they must pray for it then as a token of his favour, and they shall not pray in vain. Ask and it shall be given you. So the Lord shall make bright clouds (which, though they are without rain themselves, are yet presages of rain)-- lightnings (so the margin reads it), for he maketh lightnings for the rain. He will give them showers of rain in great abundance, and so give to every one grass in the field; for God is universally good, and makes his rain to fall upon the just and the unjust. II. He shows them the folly of making their addresses to idols as their fathers had done ( Zechariah 10:2 ; Zechariah 10:2 ): The idols have spoken vanity; the teraphim, which they courted and consulted in their distress, were so far from being able to command rain for them that they could not so much as tell them when they should have rain. They pretended to promise them rain at such a time, but it did not come. The diviners, who were the prophets of those idols, have seen a lie (their visions were all a cheat and a sham); and they have told false dreams, such as the event did not answer, which proved that they were not from God. Thus they comforted in vain those that consulted the lying oracles; all the vanities of the heathen put together could not give rain, Jeremiah 14:22 . Yet this was not the worst of it; they not only got nothing by the false gods, but they lost the favour of the true God, for therefore they went their way into captivity as a flock driven into the fold, and they were troubled with one vexation after another, as scattered sheep are, because there was no shepherd, no prince to rule them, no priest to intercede for them, none to take care of them and keep them together. Those that wandered after strange gods were made to wander, into strange nations. III. He shows them the hand of God in all the events that concerned them, both those that made against them and those that made for them, Zechariah 10:3 ; Zechariah 10:3 . Let them consider, 1. When every thing went cross it was God that walked contrary to them ( Zechariah 10:3 ; Zechariah 10:3 ): " My anger was kindled against the shepherds that should have fed the flock, but neglected it, and starved it. I was displeased at the wicked magistrates and ministers, the idol-shepherds." The captivity in Babylon was a token of God's anger against them; in it likewise he punished the goats, those of the flock that were filthy and mischievous; they were set on the left hand, to go away into punishment. Though the body of the nation suffered in the captivity, yet it was only the goats and the shepherds that God was angry with, and that he punished; the same affliction to others came from the love of God, and was but a fatherly chastisement, which to them came from his wrath, and was a judicial punishment. 2. When things began to change for the better it was God that gave them the happy turn. "He has now visited his flock with favour, to enquire after them, and provides what he finds proper for them, and he has made them as his goodly horse in the battle, has beautified them, taken care of them, managed and made use of them, as a man does the horse he rides on, has made them valuable in themselves and formidable to those about them, as his goodly horse. " It is God that makes us what we are, and it is with us as he appoints. IV. He shows them that every creature is to them what God makes it to be ( Zechariah 10:4 ; Zechariah 10:4 ): Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nails. 1. All the power that was engaged against them was from God. Out of him came all the combined force of their enemies; every oppressor together (and the oppressors of Israel were not a few) did but what his hand and his counsel determined before to be done; nor could they have had such power against them unless it had been given them from above. 2. All the power likewise that was engaged for them was derived from him and depended on him. Out of him came forth the corner-stone of the building, the power of magistrates, which keeps the several parts of the state together. Princes are often called the corners of the people, as 1 Samuel 14:38 , marg. Out of him came forth the nail that fixed the state, the nail in the sure place ( Isaiah 22:23 ), the nail in his holy place, Ezra 9:8 . Out of him came forth the battle-bow, the military power, and out of him every oppressor, or exactor, that had the civil power in his hand; and therefore to God, the fountain of power, we must always have an eye, and see every man's judgment proceeding from him. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-5-12" class="com-number"

> 봄철에 여호와께 비를 구하여라. 여호와는 먹구름을 만드시는 분이시니, 들의 식물을 위하여 모든 사람에게 소나기를 내려 주신다. 우상들은 헛된 것을 말하였고, 점쟁이들은 거짓을 보았으며, 거짓된 꿈을 이야기하여 헛되이 위로할 뿐이다. 그러므로 백성이 양 떼처럼 떠돌며, 목자가 없으므로 고통을 당한다. 내 진노가 목자들을 향하여 불타오르니, 내가 숫염소들을 벌하겠다. 만군의 여호와께서 그분의 양 떼, 곧 유다 집을 돌보셨으니, 그들을 전쟁터에서 그분의 위풍당당한 군마처럼 만드실 것이다. 그에게서 모퉁잇돌이 나오고, 그에게서 말뚝이 나오며, 그에게서 전쟁의 활이 나오고, 그에게서 모든 다스리는 자가 함께 나온다. (스가랴 10:1-4)

하나님은 앞 장 끝에서 풍성한 양식을 약속하셨는데, 이제 그것을 위해 기도해야 한다고 지시하신다.

**I. 선지자는 그들에게 기도로 하나님께 비를 구하라고 지시한다(스가랴 10:1).** "봄철에 여호와께 비를 구하여라." 구름에게도 별들에게도 비를 구하지 말고 여호와께 구하라. 그분이 하늘에 귀를 기울이시고, 하늘이 땅에 귀를 기울이기 때문이다(호세아 2:21 참조). 때에 맞는 비는 큰 자비이다. 이른 비는 씨앗 시기인 가을에, 늦은 비는 봄 사이에 내려 곡식을 이삭으로 채웠다. 그 중 하나라도 실패하면 큰 해가 되었다. 주목하라. 우리는 기도에서 섭리의 경로를 순종하며 따라야 하며, 자비를 제때에 구해야 하지 하나님이 우리를 위해 그분의 일상적인 방식에서 벗어나기를 기대해서는 안 된다.

**II. 선지자는 그들에게 조상들이 했던 것처럼 우상들에게 기도하는 어리석음을 보여 준다(스가랴 10:2).** "우상들은 헛된 것을 말하였다." 그들이 궁경에서 찾아 물었던 드라빔은 그들에게 비를 명령하기는커녕 비가 언제 오는지도 말해 줄 수 없었다(예레미야 14:22 참조). 점쟁이들은 거짓을 보았다. 그들의 환상이 모두 거짓이었고 사건이 이를 입증하지 않았다. 그들은 거짓된 꿈을 이야기하여 헛되이 위로하였다. 이것만이 전부가 아니었다. 거짓 신들에게서 아무것도 얻지 못했을 뿐 아니라 참 하나님의 은혜도 잃었다. 그러므로 백성이 양 떼처럼 떠돌았다. 목자 없이 여기저기 돌아다니는 양 떼처럼 온 나라가 흩어지고 지도자도 없이 방랑하게 되었다.

**III. 선지자는 모든 일에서 하나님의 손을 보여 준다(스가랴 10:3).** 잘못되었을 때도 잘 되었을 때도.

**1. 모든 것이 교차하였을 때 하나님이 그들에게 거슬러 걸으셨다(스가랴 10:3).** "내 진노가 목자들을 향하여 불타올랐다." 바벨론 포로는 하나님의 진노의 표시였다. 백성의 몸은 포로 생활에서 고통을 겪었지만, 오직 목자들과 숫염소들, 즉 불순하고 해악한 자들만이 하나님이 진노하시고 벌하신 것이다. 다른 이들에게는 동일한 고통이 하나님의 사랑에서 왔으며, 아버지의 훈계일 뿐이었다.

**2. 형세가 바뀌기 시작하였을 때 하나님이 그들에게 행복한 전환을 주셨다.** "그분이 그분의 양 떼인 유다 집을 돌보셨다." 그분은 그들에게 자비와 은혜로 오셔서 살피시고, 그들에게 적합한 것을 제공하셨다. 그들을 전쟁터에서 그분의 위풍당당한 군마처럼 만드셨다. 그분은 그분이 타는 말을 아끼고 관리하며 사용하듯 그들을 아름답게 하시고 돌보시며 사용하셨다. 하나님이 우리를 어떻게 만드시느냐에 따라 우리의 처지가 좋고 나쁘게 된다.

**IV. 선지자는 모든 힘이 하나님에게서 나온다는 것을 보여 준다(스가랴 10:4).** 그들을 대항하여 작용하는 힘도 그들을 위해 작용하는 힘도 마찬가지다.

**1. 그들에게 반하는 모든 힘은 하나님에게서 나왔다.** "그에게서 모든 다스리는 자가 나온다"고 마지막에 표현된다. 원수들의 모든 연합된 세력, 그리고 이스라엘의 모든 압제자들이 그분의 손과 뜻이 미리 정하신 것을 행하였을 뿐이다.

**2. 그들을 위해 작용하는 모든 힘도 하나님에게서 나온다.** "그에게서 모퉁잇돌이 나온다." 행정부의 권력, 국가의 여러 부분을 하나로 묶어 주는 권력이다. 통치자들은 흔히 백성의 모퉁이 사람들이라 불린다(사무엘상 14:38 참조). "그에게서 말뚝이 나온다." 국가를 고정시키는 말뚝, 확고한 자리에 있는 말뚝이다(이사야 22:23 참조). "그에게서 전쟁의 활이 나온다." 군사력. "그에게서 모든 다스리는 자가 나온다." 민사권. 그러므로 권력의 샘이신 하나님께 항상 눈을 두어야 하며, 모든 사람의 심판이 그분에게서 나옴을 알아야 한다.

Z E C H A R I A H. CHAP. X. The scope of this chapter is much the same with that of the foregoing chapter--to encourage the Jews that had returned with hopes that though they had been under divine rebukes for their negligence in rebuilding the temple, and were now surrounded with enemies and dangers, yet God would do them good, and make them prosperous at home and victorious abroad. Now, I. They are here directed to eye the great God in all events that concerned them, and, both in the evils they suffered and in the comforts they desired, to acknowledge his hand, Zechariah 10:1-4 . II. They are encouraged to expect strength and success from him in all their struggles with the enemies of their church and state, and to hope that the issue would be glorious at last, Zechariah 10:5-12 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-4" class="com-number"

이 장의 취지는 앞 장과 매우 유사하다. 성전 재건을 소홀히 하여 하나님의 책망을 받고 이제 원수들과 위험에 둘러싸인 돌아온 유다 사람들에게 하나님이 그들에게 선을 베푸시고 국내에서 번영하며 해외에서 승리하게 하실 것이라는 희망을 가지도록 격려하는 것이다. 두 부분으로 이루어진다. 첫째, 그들이 겪는 모든 일에서 위대한 하나님을 바라보도록 지시받는다(스가랴 10:1-4). 둘째, 교회와 나라의 원수들과의 모든 싸움에서 그분으로부터 힘과 성공을 기대하도록 격려받는다(스가랴 10:5-12).

Evangelical Promises; Encouraging Prospects. . 5 And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded. 6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them. 7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD . 8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased. 9 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again. 10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them. 11 And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away. 12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD ; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD . Here are divers precious promises made to the people of God, which look further than to the state of the Jews in the latter days of their church, and have certain reference to the spiritual Israel of God, the gospel-church, and all true believers. I. They shall have God's favour and presence, and shall be owned and accepted of him. This is the foundation of all the rest: The Lord is with them, Zechariah 10:5 ; Zechariah 10:5 . He espouses their cause, takes their part, is on their side; and, if he be for them, who can be against them? Again ( Zechariah 10:6 ; Zechariah 10:6 ), I have mercy upon them. All their dignity and joy are owing purely to God's mercy; and mercy, as it supposes misery, so it excludes merit. They had been cast off, the effect of which could not but be misery; they had been justly cast off, and therefore could pretend to merit nothing at God's hand but wrath and the curse; yet it is promised, They shall be as though I had not cast them off. The transgressions of their fathers, for which they had been rejected, shall not only not be visited upon them, but shall not be so much as remembered against them. God will be as perfectly reconciled to them as if he had never contended with them, and the falling out of these lovers shall rather be the renewing than the weakening of love. They shall have such a full assurance of God's being reconciled to them, and upon that shall be so well reconciled to themselves, that they shall be as easy as if they had never been cast off; and their condition, after their restoration to the divine favour, shall be so very happy that there shall not remain the least scar from the wounds which were given them by their being cast off. Such favour does God show to returning repenting sinners, who were by nature at a distance, and children of wrath; such fellowship are they admitted into, and such freedom does he use with them, that they are as though they had never been cast off. 1. The covenant they are admitted into is the same that ever it was: I am the Lord their God, according to the original contract, the covenant made with their fathers. 2. The communion they are admitted into is the same that ever it was: I will hear them. They shall be as welcome as ever to speak to him, and as sure as ever to receive from him an answer of peace; for, as he never did, so he never will, say to Jacob's seed, Seek you me in vain. II. They shall be victorious over their enemies, that would draw them from either their duty to God or their comfort in God ( Zechariah 10:5 ; Zechariah 10:5 ): They shall be as mighty men, that are both strong in body and bold in spirit, men of vigour, men of valour, effective men. Those of Ephraim, as well as those of Judah, shall be like a mighty man ( Zechariah 10:7 ; Zechariah 10:7 ), that dares to go about a difficult enterprise and is able to go through with it. They shall, as mighty men, tread down their enemies in the battle, as the dirt that is thrown out of the houses is trodden with other dirt in the mire of the streets. And they shall therefore fight, because the Lord is with them. Some would argue that they may therefore sit still, and do nothing, because the Lord is with them, who can and will do all. No; God's gracious presence with us to help us must not supersede, but quicken and animate, our endeavours to help ourselves; and we must therefore work out our salvation with fear and trembling, because it is God that works in us both to will and to do. They shall fight with readiness and resolution because, if God be with them, they are sure to be conquerors, more than conquerors. For then the riders on horses shall be confounded. The cavalry of the enemies shall be routed, and put into disorder, by the infantry of the Jews. The preachers of the gospel of Christ went forth to war a good warfare; they charged bravely, because God was with them; and the riders on horses that opposed them were confounded, for God chose the weak and foolish things of the world to confound the wise and mighty. But whence have they all this might? How come they to be so able, so active? It is in the Lord, and in the power of his might, that they are so ( Zechariah 10:6 ; Zechariah 10:6 ): I will strengthen the house of Judah, and so I will save the house of Joseph. Note, God saves us by strengthening us, and works out our happiness by working in us to do our duty. And thus we are engaged to the utmost diligence in using the strength God gives us; and yet, when all is done, God must have the glory of all. God is our strength, and so becomes both our song and our salvation. III. Those of them that are dispersed shall be gathered together into one body ( Zechariah 10:6 ; Zechariah 10:6 ): I will bring them again to place them, bring them from other lands to place them in their own land. This was a token of their being perfectly restored to all their other ancient privileges--they shall be restored to the possession of their own land. This was fulfilled when the children of God that were scattered abroad were by faith in Christ incorporated in the gospel-church, and Jews and Gentiles became one fold, John 10:16 . In order to this ( Zechariah 10:8 ; Zechariah 10:8 ) I will hiss for them, or, rather, whistle for them, as the shepherd with his pipe calls his sheep together, that know his voice; and so I will gather them. The preaching of the gospel was, as it were, God's hissing for souls to come to Jesus Christ, his calling in his scattered sheep to the green pastures. I will gather them, for I have redeemed them. Note, Those whom Christ has redeemed by his blood God will gather by his grace, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings. This promise is enlarged upon Zechariah 10:10 ; Zechariah 10:10 , I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt. Some think this was literally fulfilled when Ptolemæus Philadelphus king of Egypt sent 120,000 Jews out of his country into their own land, as was the promise of gathering them out of Assyria by Alexander the son of Antiochus Epiphanes. But it has its spiritual accomplishment in the gathering in of precious souls out of a bondage worse than that in Egypt or Assyria, and the bringing of them into the glorious liberties of the children of God and their enjoyments, which are as the beautiful fruitful pastures in the land of Gilead and Lebanon. All the land of promise is theirs, even Gilead, the utmost border of it eastward, and Lebanon, the utmost border northward. But how shall this be? How shall a people so dispersed be got together? How shall those that are set at such a distance from their own country be brought to it again? It is true the difficulties seem insuperable, but they shall be got over as easily, as effectually as those that lay in the way of their deliverance out of Egypt and their entrance into Canaan: He shall pass through the sea with affliction, as of old through the Red Sea, to the sore affliction of Pharaoh and his hosts, or to the sore affliction of the sea, the waves whereof he shall smite, so that it shall be driven back, as when the sea saw and fled, Psalms 114:3 . And all the deeps of the river (all the rivers, though ever so deep) shall dry up, as Jordan did, to make way for Israel's passage into that good land which God had given them. Does the pride of Assyria stand in the way of their deliverance? He shall give check to it who sets bounds to the proud waves of the sea, and it shall be brought down. Does the sceptre of Egypt oppose it? That shall depart away, so that it shall not be able to obstruct the gathering in of God's Israel when his time shall come for the doing of it. When the gospel-church was to be gathered out of all nations by the preaching of the gospel great opposition was given to it by the enraged combined powers of earth and hell. Insuperable difficulties seemed to be in the way of it. But, by a divine power going along with the doctrine of Christ, it became mighty to the pulling down of strong holds, and the conversion and salvation of thousands. Then the sea fled, and Jordan was driven back at the presence of the Lord. IV. They shall greatly multiply, and the church, that new world, shall be replenished ( Zechariah 10:8 ; Zechariah 10:8 ): They shall increase as they have increased formerly in Egypt, and great additions shall be made to their numbers, as in the days of David and Solomon. When God gathers his redeemed ones to himself they shall help to gather in others with them, and their motion homeward shall be like that of a snow-ball. Crescit eundo--The further it goes the larger it grows by accretion. I will gather them, and they shall increase. Note, The church of Christ is a growing body, as long as it is in the present state of minority, till it comes to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. There are added to it daily such as shall be saved. 1. It shall spread to distant places. It shall fill Canaan, even to the lands of Gilead and Lebanon, so that no more place, no more room, shall be found for it there, Zechariah 10:10 ; Zechariah 10:10 . In Judah only God had been known, and his name was great in Israel only; here only he revealed his statutes and judgments. But in gospel-times that place shall be much too strait; the church's tent must be enlarged, and its cords lengthened: Then I will sow them among the people, Zechariah 10:9 ; Zechariah 10:9 . Their scattering shall be like the scattering of seed in the ground, not to bury it, but to increase it, that it may bring forth much fruit. The Jews are said to be dispersed into every nation under heaven ( Acts 2:5 ); and, as it was their troubles that dispersed some of them, so perhaps others transplanted themselves into colonies because the land of Israel was too strait for them; and many were natives of other nations, but proselyted to the Jewish religion. Now these were sown among the people, Hosea 2:23 . And this contributed very much to the spreading of the gospel. The Jews that came from all parts to worship at Jerusalem fetched thence the gospel light and fire to their own countries, as those Acts 2:1-47 , and the eunuch, Acts 8:26-40 And their own synagogues in the several cities of the Gentiles were the first receptacles of the apostles and their preaching, wherever they came. Thus when God sowed them among the people, that they might not get hurt by the Gentiles, but do good to them, he took care that they should remember him, and make mention of his name in far countries; and, by keeping up the knowledge of God among them as he had revealed himself in the Old Testament, they would be the more ready to admit the knowledge of Christ as he has revealed himself in the New Testament. 2. It shall last to future ages. The church shall not be res unius ætatis--a temporary thing, but a seed in it shall serve the Lord, Zechariah 10:7 ; Zechariah 10:7 . Yea, their children shall see it and be glad; and they shall live with their children, and turn again, Zechariah 10:9 ; Zechariah 10:9 . Converts to Christ shall have their children about them, whom they shall teach the knowledge of the Lord, and bring with them when they turn again to the holy land and the way of holiness. It was said to those to whom the gospel was first preached, The promise is to you and to your children, Acts 2:39 . They shall be so sown among the people as never to be extirpated. Christ's family upon earth shall never be extinct, nor his purchased possession lost for want of heirs. V. God himself will be both their strength and their song. 1. In him they shall be comforted, and shall have abundant satisfaction ( Zechariah 10:7 ; Zechariah 10:7 ): Their heart shall rejoice as through wine; for Christ's love, which is their joy, is better than wine. They shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice. When we resolutely resist, and so overcome, our spiritual enemies, then our hearts shall rejoice. But we ruin our own joy if our resistance be feeble and we yield to the temptations of Satan. Their heart shall rejoice, and then they shall be as a mighty man; for the joy of the Lord will be our strength. And with their graces their joys shall be propagated: Their children shall see it and be glad, and their hearts also shall rejoice in the Lord. It is good to acquaint children betimes with the delights of religion, and to make the services of it as pleasant as may be to them, that, learning betimes to rejoice in the Lord, they may with purpose of heart cleave to him. 2. By him they shall be carried on with vigour, and enlargement of heart, in his service ( Zechariah 10:12 ; Zechariah 10:12 ): I will strengthen them in the Lord, strengthen them for their walk and work, as well as for their warfare. It is the God of Israel that gives strength and power unto his people, that strengthens all their powers and faculties for spiritual performances, above what they are by nature and against what they are by the corruption of nature. Now observe, (1.) How they are thus enabled and invigorated for their duty: I the Lord will strengthen them in the Lord, in the Messiah, who is Jehovah our strength, as well as Jehovah our righteousness. Strength is treasured up for us in Christ, and from him it is communicated to us. It is through Christ strengthening us that we can do all things, and without him we can do nothing. His strength is commanded him for this purpose, Psalms 68:28 . (2.) What good use they shall make of this strength given unto them: They shall walk up and down in his name. If God strengthen us, we must bestir ourselves, must walk up and down in all the duties of the Christian life, must be active and busy in the work of God, must walk up and down as industrious men do, losing no time, and letting slip no opportunity. But still we must walk up and down in the name of Christ, must do all by warrant from him and in dependence on him, with an eye to his word as our rule and his glory as our end. To us to live must be Christ; and, whatever we do in word or deed, we must do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, that we receive not the strengthening grace of God in vain.

> 그들은 용사처럼 전쟁터에서 진흙탕 거리를 짓밟으며 싸울 것이니, 여호와께서 그들과 함께 계시기 때문이다. 그리하여 말 탄 자들이 부끄러움을 당할 것이다. "내가 유다 집을 강하게 하고, 요셉 집을 구원하며, 그들을 다시 돌아오게 하겠다. 내가 그들을 긍휼히 여기기 때문이니, 그들은 마치 내가 한 번도 버리지 않았던 것처럼 될 것이다. 나는 그들의 하나님 여호와이며, 내가 그들에게 응답하겠다. 에브라임은 용사 같이 될 것이며, 그들의 마음은 포도주를 마신 듯이 기뻐할 것이다. 참으로 그들의 자녀들이 그것을 보고 기뻐하며, 그들의 마음이 여호와 안에서 즐거워할 것이다. 내가 그들에게 신호하여 모을 것이니, 내가 그들을 구속하였기 때문이다. 그러면 그들이 전에 번성하던 것처럼 다시 번성할 것이다. 내가 그들을 여러 민족 가운데 흩어 뿌릴 것이나, 그들이 먼 나라에서 나를 기억하고, 자녀들과 함께 살다가 돌아올 것이다. 내가 또한 그들을 이집트 땅에서 다시 데려오고, 앗시리아에서 모아들이며, 길르앗 땅과 레바논으로 인도할 것이니, 그들이 머물 자리가 부족할 만큼 많아질 것이다. 그가 고난의 바다를 지나며 바다의 물결을 치실 것이니, 나일강의 깊은 곳이 모두 마르고, 앗시리아의 교만이 꺾이며, 이집트의 통치권이 사라질 것이다. 내가 그들을 여호와 안에서 강하게 하리니, 그들이 그분의 이름으로 이리저리 다닐 것이다." 여호와의 말씀이다. (스가랴 10:5-12)

여기에는 하나님의 백성에게 주어진 여러 귀한 약속들이 있다. 이것들은 교회 말기의 유대인들의 상태보다 더 멀리 바라보며, 하나님의 영적 이스라엘인 복음 교회와 모든 참된 신자들을 분명히 가리킨다.

**I. 그들은 하나님의 은혜와 임재를 받으며 그분께 인정받고 받아들여질 것이다.** 이것이 나머지 모든 것의 기반이다. "여호와께서 그들과 함께 계신다"(스가랴 10:5). 그분이 그들의 편이시고 그들을 위하신다. 또한(스가랴 10:6), "내가 그들을 긍휼히 여긴다." 그들의 모든 위엄과 기쁨은 순전히 하나님의 자비에서 비롯된다. 그들이 버림받았고 그 결과는 비참할 수밖에 없었다. 의로이 버림받았으므로 하나님의 손에서 진노와 저주 외에는 아무것도 내세울 수 없었다. 그럼에도 "그들은 마치 내가 한 번도 버리지 않았던 것처럼 될 것이다"라고 약속하신다. 하나님의 은혜에 돌아온 죄인들이 그러한 은혜를 받는다. 신성한 은혜의 완전한 화해를 받아 마치 하나님이 결코 그들과 다투지 않으셨던 것처럼 된다. 두 가지가 그들이 들어가는 언약에서 동일하다. (1) 그들이 들어가는 언약은 이전과 동일하다. "나는 그들의 하나님 여호와이다." (2) 그들이 들어가는 교제도 이전과 동일하다. "내가 그들에게 응답하겠다."

**II. 그들이 원수들에게 승리할 것이다(스가랴 10:5).** "그들은 용사처럼 전쟁터에서 짓밟으며 싸울 것이니, 여호와께서 그들과 함께 계시기 때문이다." 유다 사람들뿐 아니라 에브라임도 용사처럼 될 것이다(스가랴 10:7). 그들이 어려운 일을 감히 시도하고 완수할 수 있는 자들이다. 말 탄 자들이 보병에게 격파되고 혼란에 빠질 것이다. 어떻게 그리 강하고 능동적인가? 복음 진리의 설교자들은 선한 전쟁을 치렀다. 그들이 담대히 돌진했으니 하나님이 그들과 함께 계셨기 때문이다. 반대한 말 탄 자들은 당황하였다. 하나님이 세상의 약하고 어리석은 것들을 택하셔서 지혜롭고 능력 있는 자들을 당황시키셨기 때문이다. 그들은 어디서 이 모든 힘을 얻는가? "내가 유다 집을 강하게 하고 요셉 집을 구원하겠다"(스가랴 10:6). 하나님은 우리를 강하게 하심으로 구원하신다. 그분은 우리의 힘이 되시므로 우리의 노래와 구원이 되신다.

**III. 흩어진 자들이 한 몸으로 모일 것이다(스가랴 10:6).** "내가 그들을 다시 돌아오게 하겠다." 이것은 하나님 안에서 믿음으로 된 하나님의 자녀들이 복음 교회에 합쳐지고, 유대인과 이방인이 한 양 떼가 되었을 때 이루어졌다(요한복음 10:16 참조). "내가 그들에게 신호하겠다"(스가랴 10:8). 목자가 자기 양들을 부르는 것처럼. 복음 전파는 하나님이 영혼들에게 예수 그리스도에게 오라고 신호를 보내시는 것, 흩어진 양들을 푸른 풀밭으로 부르시는 것과 같았다. 내가 모을 것이다. "내가 그들을 구속하였기 때문이다." 그리스도가 피로 속량하신 자들을 하나님이 은혜로 모으실 것이다.

**IV. 그들이 크게 번성할 것이며 교회가 채워질 것이다(스가랴 10:8).** "그들이 전에 번성하던 것처럼 다시 번성할 것이다." 다윗과 솔로몬의 시대처럼. 하나님이 속량하신 자들을 자신에게 모으실 때, 그들이 더 많은 이들을 모으는 것을 도울 것이다. 그리스도의 가족은 지상에서 결코 끊어지지 않을 것이며, 상속인이 없어 약속이 없어지는 일은 없을 것이다. "내가 그들을 여러 민족 가운데 흩어 뿌릴 것이다"(스가랴 10:9). 그들의 흩어짐이 땅에 씨를 뿌리는 것처럼 묻어두기 위함이 아니라 늘리기 위함이다. 온 하늘 아래 모든 나라에 흩어진 유대인들이라고 하였다(사도행전 2:5 참조). 그들이 각 민족에 씨처럼 뿌려진 것이다(호세아 2:23 참조). 이것이 복음 전파에 크게 기여하였다.

**V. 하나님 자신이 그들의 힘과 노래가 되실 것이다.** "내가 그들을 여호와 안에서 강하게 하리니, 그들이 그분의 이름으로 이리저리 다닐 것이다"(스가랴 10:12). 그들에게 어떻게 이런 힘이 주어지는가. 여호와 안에서, 메시아 안에서 강하게 되는 것이다. 우리에게 필요한 힘이 그리스도 안에 쌓여 있고, 그에게서 우리에게 전달된다. 강함을 받아 어떻게 좋게 사용하는가. 그들이 그분의 이름으로 이리저리 다닐 것이다. 하나님이 우리를 강하게 하시면 우리는 스스로 분발하여 그리스도인의 삶의 모든 의무 가운데 이리저리 다녀야 하고, 열심히 바쁘게 하나님의 일에 힘써야 한다. 그러나 여전히 그리스도의 이름으로, 그분의 말씀을 규범으로, 그분의 영광을 목적으로 이리저리 다녀야 한다(시편 80:17-18 참조).
