上帝的仇敵將低頭

經文: 「埃及人就要知道我是耶和華。」(出埃及記七：5)

世俗人很難領會屬上帝的事；埃及人不認識耶和華，所以他們膽敢設置偶像，而問：「誰是上帝？」因此上帝定意擊打他們驕傲的心，當災難日到來，天昏地暗，閃電雷轟，稻作毀損，長子被殺，埃及人才開始意識到耶和華的權能，也必須有這樣的作為，才能讓懷疑論者屈膝。所以我們不需要因他褻瀆上帝而覺沮喪懊惱，上帝自有祂明快的作為，彰顯祂的聖名。

以色列人得拯救也是上帝另一個方法，讓埃及人知道以色列的上帝是真活的耶和華上帝，沒有一個以色列人死於十災，沒有一個人溺斃於紅海，甚至，被揀選者能得救，信靠者的得榮光，使得最頑強的仇敵，也不得不承認，耶和華祂是上帝。

喔，那鬆動人心的是上帝的大能，將藉著聖靈與福音的廣傳，讓世上各邦國在祂聖名之前低頭，並稱耶穌為主。


God's Enemies Shall Bow

Scripture: "The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD"(Exodus 7:5).

The ungodly world is hard to teach. Egypt does not know Jehovah and therefore dares to set up its idols and even ventures to ask, "Who is the LORD?" Yet the LORD means to break proud hearts, whether they will or not. When His judgments thunder over their heads, darken their skies, destroy their harvests, and slay their sons, they begin to discern somewhat of Jehovah's power. There will yet be such things done in the earth as shall bring skeptics to their knees. Let us not be dismayed because of their blasphemies, for the LORD can take care of His own name, and He will do so in a very effectual manner.
The salvation of His own people was another potent means of making Egypt know that the God of Israel was Jehovah, the living and true God. No Israelite died by any one of the ten plagues. None of the chosen seed were drowned in the Red Sea. Even so, the salvation of the elect and the sure glorification of all true believers will make the most obstinate of God's enemies acknowledge that Jehovah, He is the God.
Oh, that His convincing power would go forth by His Holy Spirit in the preaching of the gospel, till all nations shall bow at the name of Jesus and call Him LORD!
