In Jesus' Name. Amen. (The Celtic Psalter, Celtic Daily Prayer, 406-7)

    「我親愛的王、我的王，祢沒有狂傲與罪惡。祢創造了世界；祢是永恆、得勝的王，奧秘的王，萬有之前已有祢——在太陽還未被放在天空、在水尚未遮蓋海底時。美麗的王，祢是無始、無終的！」奉耶穌名。阿們。(譯自The Celtic Psalter, Celtic Daily Prayer,406-7)

2 Kings||列王紀下 vv.1:1-18
Read slowly and reflectively the assigned passage twice at least and consider the questions below.||請慢慢細心讀經文至少兩遍，然後反復思考問題。

  1. What kind of a king was Ahaziah? (1 Ki. 22:52-53)
  2. Why did he seek out Baal-Zebub instead of the Lord? (Baal-Zebub, the fly-god of Ekron, the northernmost city of the Philistines). Was it an indication that he
    1. Truly believed in the power of this fly-god, or
    2. He was either too afraid of the Lord, or
    3. Too hard-hearted in his rebellion against the Lord?
  3. Why was God so angry at Ahaziah to the point of pronouncing his sure death? (v. 4)
  4. Although God now pronounced his certain death, but not immediate death, how then should Ahaziah have responded to this?
  5. Recognizing that it was the prophet Elijah, why did Ahaziah send a contingent of 50 soldiers to see Elijah, and not just messengers?
  6. Although the captain addressed Elijah as "man of God", was what he said an invitation or an order? (v. 9)
  7. Why did Elijah choose to have fire fall from heaven to consume them? (v. 10)
  8. Did the second captain show more respect to Elijah than the first captain? (v. 11)
  9. After the death of his two captains and soldiers, what should Ahaziah do?
  10. While Ahaziah appeared not to have changed his attitude, was the 3rd captain any different from the previous two captains? (vv. 13-14)
  11. In your opinion, why didn't Ahaziah repent or at least show signs of remorse (like his father in 1 Ki. 21:27)?
  12. What is the main message to you today and how may you apply it to your life?
  1. 請重溫亞哈謝是怎樣的一個王。(王上22:52-53)
  2. 他為何不向耶和華求問，而向巴力西卜求問？(巴力西卜，即蒼蠅的神，是非利士、以革倫的神)這是表示：
    1. 他真的相信巴力西卜的神力？
    2. 他懼怕向神求問？
    3. 還是因他心硬，至死也背叛神？
  3. 為何神會如此憤怒，要亞哈謝死亡？(1:4)
  4. 神的宣判是亞哈謝必死，而不是即死；用意是什麼？
  5. 既知道迎著使者的是以利亞，為何亞哈謝要派軍長和五十人去找以利亞，而不是單差使者？
  6. 五十夫長既稱以利亞為「神人」，為何會觸怒以利亞？(1:9)
  7. 為何以利亞選擇以火從天降下來燒滅眾人？
  8. 第二個五十夫長對以利亞的態度有改變嗎？為什麼？(1:11)
  9. 既見所差遣的兵士與軍長都死了，亞哈謝該怎樣作？
  10. 亞哈謝照樣差遣人去送死，但這被差遣的軍長的態度與前的有什麼不同？
  11. 在你看來，亞哈謝到現在還不學效父親亞哈謙卑下來的原因是什麼？(參王上21:27)?
  12. 今日你得到的主要提醒是什麼？你會怎樣應用在你的生命中？

Ⅴ. Meditative Reflection: Beyond Repentance!||Ⅴ. 靈修默想小篇：無藥可救

"So he died, according to the word of the LORD that Elijah had spoken." (2 Ki. 1:17)

One wonders why Ahaziah would choose to worship Baal-Zebub, the "fly-god" of the Philistines, instead of the Lord. Even if he had not been able to witness God's victory over Baal on Mount Carmel because he was too young, he would definitely have heard of this incident, not to mention the God-granted victory of Aram with 7,000 Israelites over more than 127,000 Aramean solders (1 Ki. 19:29-30).

Towards the end of Ahab's life, as much as he might not have fully turned back to the Lord, it appears that he no longer worshipped Baal (with all Baal's prophets in Israel slain on Mount Carmel) as he showed remorse at Elijah's rebuke (1 Ki. 21:27).

Once Ahab died, Ahaziah followed the ways of his mother, no doubt, and brought back the worship of Baal right away even within his short reign of two years (1 Ki. 22:52). This was indication that it was his deliberate act to choose evil over good. The worship of Yahweh was too restrictive for him, while the worship of other gods — Baal and Asherah — allowed him to engage in all kinds of immorality. Freedom from God was what he wanted, without knowing that the alternative was really being enslaved not so much by these false gods, but by Satan!

The three attempts to send soldiers to order (and capture) Elijah to go and see him fully demonstrated his hard-heartedness towards the Lord. By the time of the final pronouncement of his death right in front of him by Elijah, he was so deep into his rebellion that he was beyond repentance.

「亞哈謝果然死了，正如耶和華藉以利亞所說的話。」(王下1:17)

亞哈謝已自知面臨死亡，為何仍堅持敬拜這非利士的蒼蠅神——巴力西卜，而不求告耶和華呢？這是令人費解的。就是他或許在迦密山比試時尚年幼不懂事，他一定對這事有所聽聞；而且他肯定見證到他父親以七千軍力殺戮了127,000亞蘭人的神蹟（王上19:20）。

在亞哈的晚年，雖然他沒有全然悔改歸向神，他似乎再沒有敬拜或求問於巴力了——一方面以利亞已殺盡當時境內的巴力先知，而亞哈也向以利亞顯出謙卑的懊悔（王上19:27）。

亞哈謝在亞哈死後登基，就在短短兩年的掌權期間，(聖經就指出)他跟隨母親再次敬拜巴力（王上22:52）。這足以證明他是刻意的棄善行惡。當然，敬拜巴力和其他的偶像能給他很大的自由，特別是在放縱情慾這方面，不再被摩西律法所管轄。換句話說，這自由——特別是擺脫神律法約束的自由——是他所選擇的，但換來的後果是成為偶像和罪的奴僕，他卻不自知。

他三次的派兵去見（或應說捉拿）以利亞，充份顯出他對神的心是何等的剛硬。故此，當他親耳聽到以利亞宣告他必死的審判時，他的心靈已到無藥可救的地步了。

Ⅵ. A Time for Silence||Ⅵ. 靜默時刻

You have meditated much with your intellectual faculty today. Now have a moment of silence (the length is up to you, 5 or even 30 minutes), and ask God quietly, "Lord, is there any important message from you today that I might have missed? Show me, your servant is listening?"||今天你用了不少智力技能來默想。現在，就用一點時間靜下來（長、短由你決定：5或30分鐘），安靜地求問神，「主阿，有甚麼我忽略了的重要信息對我說？請說，僕人敬聽。」
