93# 天使加百列曾对马利亚言说:“那要由你而生的圣者,必称为上帝之子。” 今引圣言数处经文,证明主就其人性层面被称作 “以色列的圣者”,相关经文罗列如下:
“我在异象中观看,见有一位守望的圣者从天而降。”(但 4:10,20)“上帝从提幔而来,圣者从巴兰山临到。”(哈 3:3)“我是雅威你们的圣者,是创造以色列的,是你们的君王。”(赛 43:14,15)“救赎主以色列的圣者雅威如此说。”(赛 49:7)“我是雅威你的上帝,是以色列的圣者你的救主。”(赛 43:1,3)“我们救赎主的名是万军之雅威,以色列的圣者。”(赛 47:4)“雅威你的救赎主,以色列的圣者如此说。”(赛 43:14,48:17)“你的救赎主就是以色列的圣者,祂必称为全地之上帝。”(赛 54:5)“他们再三试探上帝,惹动以色列的圣者。”(诗 78:41)“他们离弃雅威,藐视以色列的圣者。”(赛 1:4)“你们使以色列的圣者从我们面前止息吧。因此,以色列的圣者如此说。”(赛 30:11,12)“任祂急速行,赶快成就祂的作为,使我们看看;任以色列圣者所谋划的临近成就,使我们知道。”(赛 5:19)“到那日…… 他们要诚实倚靠雅威以色列的圣者。”(赛 10:20)“锡安的居民哪,当扬声欢呼,因为在你们中间的以色列圣者乃为至大。”(赛 12:6)“当那日,…… 他的眼目必仰望以色列的圣者。”(赛 17:6,7)“人间贫穷的,必因以色列的圣者快乐。”(赛 29:19,41:16)“他们的地在以色列的圣者面前满了罪。”(耶 51:5)另有赛 55:5,60:9 等多处经文,不再一一枚举。
“以色列的圣者” 所指,便是兼具神性与人性的主。天使向马利亚所言 “那要由你而生的圣者,必称为上帝之子”(路 1:35)便是明证。雅威与以色列的圣者本为一体,只是称谓有别,前文所引经文皆可印证雅威即是以色列的圣者。
主亦被称作 “以色列的上帝”,诸多经文均可佐证:赛 17:6,21:10,17,24:15,29:23;耶 7:3,9:14,11:3,13:12,16:9,19:3,15,23:2,24:5,25:15,27,29:4,8,21,25,30:2,31:23,32:14,15,36,33:4,34:2,13,35:13,17,18,19,37:7,38:17,39:26,42:9,15,18,43:10,44:2,7,11,25,48:1,50:18,51:33;结 8:4,9:3,10:19,20,11:22,43:2,44:2;番 2:9;诗 41:14,59:6,68:9。
93# 由于天使加百列对马利亚说:“将要从你所生的圣物,必称为神的儿子”,所以来自圣言的以下经文将说明,在其人身方面的主被称为以色列的圣者;但以理书:
我在异象中观看,看哪,一位守望者,就是一位圣者,从天而降。(但以理书4:13,23)
哈巴谷书:
神从提幔而来,圣者从巴兰山临到。(哈巴谷书3:3)
以赛亚书:
我是耶和华,圣者,是创造以色列的,你们的圣者。(以赛亚书43:14,15)
又:
以色列的救赎主,以色列的圣者耶和华如此说。(以赛亚书49:7)
又:
我是耶和华你的神,是以色列的圣者,你的救主。(以赛亚书43:1,3)
又:
至于我们的救赎主,万军之耶和华是祂的名,就是以色列的圣者。(以赛亚书47:4)
又:
耶和华你们的救赎主,以色列的圣者如此说。(以赛亚书43:14; 48:17)
又:
万军之耶和华是祂的名,你的救赎主,以色列的圣者。(以赛亚书54:5)
诗篇:
他们试探神和以色列的圣者。(诗篇78:41)
以赛亚书:
他们离弃耶和华,惹怒以色列的圣者。(以赛亚书1:4)
又:
他们说,使以色列的圣者从我们面前止息。所以,以色列的圣者如此说。(以赛亚书30:11,12)
又:
说,任祂赶快成就祂的作为,使我们看看;任以色列圣者所谋划的临近到来。(以赛亚书5:19)
又:
到那日,他们要诚实倚靠耶和华,以色列的圣者。(以赛亚书10:20)
又:
锡安的居民哪,当扬声欢呼,因为在你们中间的以色列圣者是伟大的。(以赛亚书12:6)
又:
以色列的神说,当那日,人的眼目必仰望以色列的圣者。(以赛亚书17:6,7)
又:
人间贫穷的必因以色列的圣者快乐。(以赛亚书29:19; 41:16)
耶利米书:
那地充满违背以色列圣者的罪。(耶利米书51:5; 也可参看以赛亚书55:5; 60:9; 以及别的地方)
“以色列的圣者”是指其神性人身方面的主,因为天使对马利亚说:
将要从你所生的圣物,必称为神的儿子。(路加福音1:35)
虽然名字不同,但耶和华和以色列的圣者为一,这一点从刚才所引用的经文明显看出来,这些经文声明,耶和华就是那以色列的圣者。这一点从主被称为以色列神的众多经文也明显看出来(如以赛亚书17:6; 21:10,17; 24:15; 29:23; 耶利米书7:3; 9:15; 11:3; 13:12; 16:9; 19:3,15; 23:2; 24:5; 25:15,27; 29:4,8,21,25; 30:2; 31:23; 32:14,15,36; 33:4; 34:2,13; 35:13,17,18,19; 37:7; 38:17; 39:16; 42:9,15,18; 43:10; 44:2,7,11,25; 48:1; 50:18; 51:33; 以西结书8:4; 9:3; 10:19,20; 11:22; 43:2; 44:2; 西番雅书2:9; 诗篇41:13; 59:5; 68:8)。
93. Since the angel Gabriel said to Mary, "The Holy One that will be born from you will be called the Son of God," I will now quote passages from the Word to show that the Lord in his human manifestation is called "the Holy One of Israel":
I was seeing in visions, behold a Wakeful and Holy One coming down from heaven. (Daniel 4:13, 23)
God will come from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Habakkuk 3:3)
I, Jehovah, am holy, the Creator of Israel, your Holy One. (Isaiah 43:15)
Thus said Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, its Holy One. (Isaiah 49:7)
I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. (Isaiah 43:1, 3)
As for our Redeemer, Jehovah Sabaoth is his name, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 47:4)
Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 43:14; 48:17)

The poor among people will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 29:19; 41:16)
The earth is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel. (Jeremiah 50:29)
Also see Isaiah 55:5; 60:9; and elsewhere.
"The Holy One of Israel" means the Lord in his divine human manifestation, for the angel says to Mary, "The Holy One that will be born from you will be called the Son of God" (Luke 1:35).
From the passages just cited that describe Jehovah as the Holy One of Israel, you can see that although the names are different, "Jehovah" and "the Holy One of Israel" are one.
Many, many passages show that the Lord is called the God of Israel, such as Isaiah 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 29:23; Jeremiah 7:3; 9:15; 11:3; 13:12; 16:9; 19:3, 15; 23:2; 24:5; 25:15, 27; 29:4, 8, 21, 25; 30:2; 31:23; 32:14-15, 36; 33:4; 34:2, 13; 35:13, 17-19; 37:7; 38:17; 39:16; 42:9, 15, 18; 43:10; 44:2, 7, 11, 25; 48:1; 50:18; 51:33; Ezekiel 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20; 11:22; 43:2; 44:2; Zephaniah 2:9; and Psalms 41:13; 59:5; 68:8.
93. Since the angel Gabriel said to Mary, 'The holy thing that shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God,' passages will be quoted from the Word to prove that the Lord in His Human is called the Holy One of Israel.
I was seeing in visions; and behold, a watcher, a Holy One, coming down from heaven, Daniel 4:13, 23.
God shall come from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran, Habakkuk 3:3.
I am Jehovah the Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your Holy One, Isaiah 43:14-15.
Thus spoke Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, Isaiah 49:7.
I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour, Isaiah 43:1, 3.
As for our Redeemer, Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, the Holy One of Israel, Isaiah 47:4.
Jehovah your Redeemer said, the Holy One of Israel, Isaiah 43:14; 48:17.
Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Isaiah 54:5.
They tested God and the Holy One of Israel, Psalms 78:41.

On that day they shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth, Isaiah 10:20.
Cry out and triumph, inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel, Isaiah 12:6.
The word of the God of Israel, On that day his eyes shall look towards the Holy One of Israel, Isaiah 17:6-7.
The needy among men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel, Isaiah 29:19; 41:16.
The earth is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel, Jeremiah 51:5.
See also Isaiah 55:5; 60:9 and elsewhere.
[2] By 'the Holy One of Israel' is meant the Lord as to His Divine Human, for the angel said to Mary:
The holy thing that shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God, Luke 1:35.
Although Jehovah and the Holy One of Israel are mentioned separately, it is clear that they are one and the same, as is shown also by the passages quoted here, which prove that the Holy One of Israel is Jehovah. There are numerous passages to show that the Lord is called the God of Israel: for example, Isaiah 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 29:23; Jeremiah 7:3; 9:15; 11:3; 13:12; 16:9; 19:3, 15; 23:2; 24:5; 25:15, 27; 29:4, 8, 21, 25; 30:2; 31:23; 32:14-15, 36; 33:4; 34:2, 13; 35:13, 17-19; 37:7; 38:17; 39:16; 42:9, 15, 18; 43:10; 44:2, 7, 11, 25; 48:1; 50:18; 51:33; Ezekiel 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20; 11:22; 43:2; 44:2; Zephaniah 2:9; Psalms 41:13; 59:5; 68:8.
93. Since the angel Gabriel said to Mary, "The Holy thing that shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God," it will be shown by the following passages from the Word that the Lord in respect to His Human is called the Holy One of Israel:
I saw in visions and, behold, a Watcher and an Holy One came down from heaven (Daniel 4:13, 23).
God cometh from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran (Habakkuk 3:3).
I am Jehovah, the Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your Holy One (Isaiah 43:14-15).
Thus said Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One (Isaiah 49:7).
I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior (Isaiah 43:1, 3).
As for our Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 47:4).
Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 43:14; 48:17).
Jehovah of Hosts is His name, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 54:5).
They tempted God and the Holy One of Israel (Psalms 78:41).
They have forsaken Jehovah, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 1:4).
They said, Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. Wherefore thus said the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 30:11, 12).
Who say, Let Him hasten His work that we may see; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come (Isaiah 5:19).
In that day they shall stay upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth (Isaiah 10:20).
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee (Isaiah 7:6).
The God of Israel said, In that day His eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 17:6, 7).
The poor of men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 29:19; 41:16).
The land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel (Jeremiah 51:5). (See also Isaiah 55:5; 60:9; and elsewhere.)
Thus "the Holy One of Israel" means the Lord in respect to His Divine Human, since the angel said to Mary:
The Holy thing that shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God (Luke 1:35).
That Jehovah and the holy one of Israel are one, although the names are different, is also made clear by the passages here quoted which state that Jehovah is that holy one of Israel. It is also made evident from numerous passages that the Lord is called the God of Israel (asIsaiah 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 29:23; Jeremiah 7:3; 9:15; 11:3; 13:12; 16:9; 19:3, 15; 23:2; 24:5; 25:15, 27; Jeremiah 29:4, 8, 21, 25; 30:2; 31:23; 32:14, 15, 36, 33:4; 34:2, 13; 35:13, 17-18, 19; 37:7; 38:17; 39:16; 42:9, 15, 18; 43:10; 44:2, 7, 11, 25; 48:1; 50:18; 51:33; Ezekiel 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20; 11:22; 43:2; 44:2; Zephaniah 2:9; Psalms 41:13; 59:5; 68:8).
93. As it was announced to Mary by the angel Gabriel, "The holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God," the following passages from the Word will show that the Lord, with respect to His Human, is called the Holy One of Israel:
"I saw in visions,... and, behold, a watcher and an Holy One came down from heaven" Daniel 4:13.
"God will come (A.V., came) from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran" Habakkuk 3:3.

They said: "Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel" Isaiah 30:11-12.
"That say, Let Him hasten His work that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come" Isaiah 5:19.
"In that day... they shall stay upon JEHOVAH, the Holy One of Israel, in truth" Isaiah 10:20.
"Cry out and shout, O daughter of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee" Isaiah 12:6.
It is said also of the God of Israel: "At that day... his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel" Isaiah 17:7.
"The poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel" Isaiah 29:19; 41:18.
"Their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel" Jeremiah 51:5; also see Isaiah 55:5; 60:9, and elsewhere.
By the Holy One of Israel is meant the Lord as to His Divine Human; for the angel said to Mary:
"That holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God" Luke 1:35.
That Jehovah and the Holy One of Israel are one, although named separately, is evident from the passages just quoted, which declare that Jehovah is the Holy One of Israel. That the Lord is called the God of Israel is also evident from numerous passages, as the following:
Isaiah 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 29:23; Jeremiah 7:3; 9:15; 11:3; 13:12; 16:9; 19:3, 15; 23:2; 24:6; 25:15, 27; 29:4, 8, 21, 26; 30:2; 31:23; 32:14; 33:4; 34:2, 13; 35:13, 17-19; 37:7; 28:17; 39:16; 42:9, 15, 18; 43:10; 44:2, 7, 11, 25; 48:1; 50:18; 51:33; Ezekiel 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20; 11:22; 43:2; 44:2; Zephaniah 2:9; Psalms 41:13; 59:5; 68:8.
93. Quoniam a Gabriele Angelo ad Mariam dictum est, quod SANCTUM, quod nascetur ex te vocabitur Filius Dei, ex Verbo afferentur loca, quod Dominus quoad Humanum dicatur SANCTUS ISRAELIS, quae sunt, "Videns fui in visionibus, ecce Vigil et SANCTUS e Coelo descendens, Daniel 4:10, 20. 1 Deus e Themane veniet, et SANCTUS e monte Paran, Habakuk 3:3. Ego Jehovah SANCTUS, Creator Israelis SANCTUS 2 VESTER, Esaias 43:14-15. 3 Sic dixit Jehovah Redemptor Israelis SANCTUS IPSIUS, Esaias 49:7. Ego Jehovah Deus tuus, SANCTUS ISRAELIS SALVATOR TUUS, Esaias 43:3. 4 Quod ad REDEMPTOREM nostrum, Jehovah Zebaoth nomen 5 Ipsius, SANCTUS ISRAELIS, Esaias 47:4. Dixit Jehovah REDEMPTOR vester, SANCTUS ISRAELIS, Esaias 43:14; 48:17. Jehovah Zebaoth nomen Ipsius, et REDEMPTOR TUUS SANCTUS ISRAELIS, Esaias 54:5. Tentarunt Deum, et SANCTUM ISRAELIS, Psalm 78:41. Dereliquerunt Jehovam, et provocarunt SANCTUM ISRAELIS, Esaias 1:4. Dixerunt, cessare facite a faciebus nostris SANCTUM ISRAELIS: propterea sic dixit SANCTUS ISRAELIS, Esaias 30:11-12. Qui dicunt, properet opus Ipsius ut videamus, et appropinquet et veniat consilium SANCTI ISRAELIS, Esaias 5:19. In die illo innitentur Jehovae, SANCTO ISRAELIS in veritate, Esaias 10:20. Exclama et jubila filia 6 Sionis, quia magnus in medio tui SANCTUS ISRAELIS, 7 Esaias 12:6. 8 Dictum Dei Israelis, 9 in die illo oculi ejus ad SANCTUM ISRAELIS spectabunt, Esaias 17:6-7. 10 Egeni hominum in SANCTO ISRAELIS exultabunt, Esaias 29:19; 41:16. Terra plena est reatu contra 11 SANCTUM ISRAELIS," Jeremias 51:5. 12 Et praeterea, Esaias 55:5; 60:9, et alibi.
[2] Per Sanctum Israelis intelligitur Dominus quoad Divinum Humanum, nam Angelus ad Mariam dixit, SANCTUM quod 13 nascetur ex te, vocabitur FILIUS DEI, Luca 1:35. Quod JEHOVAH et SANCTUS ISRAELIS unum sint, tametsi distincte nominantur, constare potest ex locis etiam hic allatis, quod Jehovah sit ille Sanctus Israelis. 14 Quod Dominus dicatur DEUS ISRAELIS, constat etiam ex perplurimis locis, ut Esaias 17:6; 21:10, 17; 24:15; 29:23; Jeremias 7:3; 9:14, 15 Jeremias 11:3; 13:12; 16:9; 19:3, 15; 23:2; 24:5; 25:15, 27; 29:4, 8, 21, 25; 30:2; 31:23, 16 32:14-15, 36; 33:4; 34:2, 13; 35:13, 17-18, 19; 37:7; 38:17, 17 Jeremias 39:16; 42:9, 15, 18; 43:10; 44:2, 7, 11, 25; 48:1; 50:18; 51:33; Ezechiel 8:4; 9:3; 10:19-20; 11:22, 18 Ezechiel 43:2; 44:2; Zephanias 2:9; Psalmes 41:14, 19 59:6; 20 68:9. 21
