A megachurch pastor urged Christians to face the Day of the Lord with a thankful heart and come to the Lord Jesus with true repentance to receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Recently, the Chinese Worship Ministry of Korean Sarang Church released a sermon title"The Day of the LORD" by Rev. Dr. Jung-Hyun Oh, the senior pastor of the Korean SaRang Church. Oh focused on Zechariah 12, explaining what the "Day of the Lord" is, and also reminded us to face the Day of the Lord with a thankful heart because of our Lord Jesus, hoping that we will come to Him with true repentance and receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
He said, "God is the creator and the protector, He is the God who rules our souls, and the pioneer and perfecter of faith. The last days are set by Him, so we call that day “the day of the LORD”. In the Old Testament, it was mainly associated with judgment, while in the New Testament, it refers to the day when Lord returns. Therefore, it alerts us to prepare for the last judgment, as well as for the second coming of the Lord."
"If we are not alert enough to be prepared for that day, it will come as a day of calamity. If we keep our lamps ready, that day will be a day of blessing. This means that on the day of the LORD God will give the cup of His own wrath to the enemies against His people, and leave those enemies in destruction. God will make Jerusalem a heavy stone, and all those who lift it up will be seriously wounded. He will make Jerusalem a heavy stone to all the nations that attack the church of God and treat the people of God bitterly. He will make all those who drive and ride and shout mad, and terrify all the horses, making them blind."
Pastor Oh continued, "God will look on His people and blind their enemy. ‘I will no longer hide my face from your sufferings’, says God. What does the Hebrew Bible say when it uses the active voice on the word 'look on'? God will make Jerusalem a cup of intoxication and a heavy stone and make the riders and the horses frightened and frantic. He will look upon Judah. Praise be to Him who uses us ‘like a firepot in the woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. God's covenant with His people will make them a blazing fire that will consume all the schemes and iniquities of the enemy."
Zechariah 12:8 claims, "On that day the LORD will shield those who live in Jerusalem so that even the feeblest among them will be like David." The word "feeblest" here is used in the superlative form in the Hebrew language, which means "the weakest".
The Korean pastor explained, "God will make us spiritual descendants of David, and fill us with all His peace, victory, power and healing through Jesus Christ - the representative of David's descendants and the Redeemer. How wonderful this is! To know that this is a blessing from God when we believed in Him, and to understand the mystery that 'the living Word of God is freely given to us' is the most significant thing in our lives."
"When Jesus was crucified and died, God's people mourned and grieved for the piercing of the Lord's rib." Pastor Wu said, "May we always remember that our sins, our weaknesses, and our failings pierced the Lord, and may we all have true repentance within us. The way we grieve and mourn is to grieve as if we had lost our only beloved son. By doing so, when we come to the Lord in repentance and re-examination, we will experience V-day!"
He concluded, "The day of the Lord does not end with gloom, judgment, pain, hurt, or destruction. Rather, it ends with healing and restoration through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on us. What a thing to be grateful for! May God open our spiritual eyes to understand that this is the grace He has poured out. Abba Father, may You destroy all enemies in all areas of our lives, and may the Holy Spirit be poured out on our hearts and fill our souls with anointing and longing!"
近日，韩国“爱的教会”中文礼拜部发布了主任牧师吴牧师的证道《耶和华的日子》。吴牧师重点讲解了撒加利亚书12章，解释了何为“耶和华的日子”，同时也提醒因为主耶稣我们可以以感恩的心来面对耶和华的日子，希望大家要有真实的悔改来到主耶稣基督的面前，得到圣灵的恩膏。
吴牧师分享说：“神是创造者，也是保护者，祂是掌管我们灵魂的神，祂是创始成终的神。末后的日子由祂所定，因此我们称那日为耶和华的日子。在旧约中，耶和华的日子主要与审判有关。而在新约中，‘主的日子’多指主再临的日子。因此警醒我们要预备末后的审判，预备主的再临。”
“若不警醒预备耶和华的日子，那么到时候那日便如同灾殃之日一样临到。若我们时刻提灯预备的话，那日便会成为我们的祝福之日。意思就是，在耶和华的日子，神要把那盛自己烈怒的酒杯递给苦待神百姓的仇敌，任由他们自取灭亡。神必使耶路撒冷成为一块重石头，凡举起的必受重伤。神必使耶路撒冷向攻击神教会苦待神百姓们的万民当作一块重石头，使那些驾车骑马大声喊叫的人全部都癫狂，使一切马匹惊惶，仰翻在地，又使一切马匹瞎眼。”
吴牧师继续讲到：“神必要看顾祂的百姓们，使仇敌们瞎眼。神说，我必不再掩面不顾你所受的苦难。希伯来语圣经在‘看顾’一词上用了主动语态，是怎么说的呢？神必使耶路撒冷成为令人昏醉的杯，成为重石头，使骑马的和马匹惊惶癫狂，看顾犹大民族，相信神必使一切马匹瞎眼灭亡。赞美那使用我们‘如火盆在木柴中，又如火把在禾捆里’的主。神与祂的百姓们立约必要使祂的百姓们成为熊熊烈火，烧灭所有仇敌的一切诡计与不义。”
撒加利亚书12章8节里说：“那日，耶和华必保护耶路撒冷的居民。他们中间软弱的，必如大卫。”这里的“软弱”一词，希伯来语用了最高级，表示“最为软弱”。
吴牧师说：“神要使我们称为属灵的大卫的后裔，借着大卫后裔中的代表——耶稣基督，那位救赎主，使祂所有的平安、得胜、大能和医治都充满我们。这是多么奇妙的事啊！要知道这是信主时神所赐下的祝福，明白‘神永活的话语是白白赐给我们的’这一奥秘本身，便是我们人生中最为重大的事。”
“耶稣被钉在十字架上死去之时，神的百姓因扎主的肋旁而哀痛悲伤。”吴牧师说：“希望我们能始终铭记 我们所犯的罪、我们的软弱、我们的不堪、我们的不足将主扎伤，愿我们里面都能有真实的悔改。我们该如何哀痛悲伤呢？要像失掉了独生爱子一样哀痛悲伤。这样的哀痛以及我们的软弱将主扎伤。因此当我们来到主面前悔改并且重新省察自己的时候，我们必能经历V-day！”
最后，吴牧师说：“耶和华的日子不是以灰暗、审判、痛苦、伤害、以及毁坏一切来终结的。而是以借着圣灵的浇灌向我们赐下医治和恢复来终结的。这是多么值得感恩的事情！愿神打开我们属灵的眼睛，使我们明白这是祂所浇灌下来的恩典。阿爸天父，愿您亲自除灭在我们人生各个领域中的一切仇敌，愿圣灵浇灌我们的心灵，使我们的灵魂充满恩膏与渴慕！”
