20251015 [새벽묵상] 하나님이 움직이신다 | God is on the move (슥/Zec 2:1~13)

2:1 내가 또 눈을 들어 본즉 한 사람이 측량줄을 그의 손에 잡았기로

2:2 네가 어디로 가느냐 물은즉 내게 대답하되 예루살렘을 측량하여 그 너비와 길이를 보고자 하노라 하고 말할 때에

1 Then I looked up, and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 I asked, “Where are you going?”

He answered me, “To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.”

2:3 내게 말하는 천사가 나가고 다른 천사가 나와서 그를 맞으며

2:4 이르되 너는 달려가서 그 소년에게 말하여 이르기를 예루살렘은 그 가운데 사람과 가축이 많으므로 성곽 없는 성읍이 될 것이라 하라

2:5 여호와의 말씀에 내가 불로 둘러싼 성곽이 되며 그 가운데에서 영광이 되리라

3 While the angel who was speaking to me was leaving, another angel came to meet him 4 and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of people and animals in it. 5 And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory within.’

2:6 오호라 너희는 북방 땅에서 도피할지어다 여호와의 말씀이니라 이는 내가 너희를 하늘 사방 에 바람 같이 흩어지게 하였음이니라 여호와의 말씀이니라

6 “Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north,” declares the Lord, “for I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven,” declares the Lord.

2:7 바벨론 성에 거주하는 시온아 이제 너는 피할지니라

2:8 만군의 여호와께서 이같이 말씀하시되 영광을 위하여 나를 너희를 노략한 여러 나라로 보내셨나니 너희를 범하는 자는 그의 눈동자를 범하는 것이라

2:9 내가 손을 그들 위에 움직인즉 그들이 자기를 섬기던 자들에게 노략거리가 되리라 하셨나니 너희가 만군의 여호와께서 나를 보내신 줄 알리라

7 “Come, Zion! Escape, you who live in Daughter Babylon!” 8 For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye— 9 I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them.[b] Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.

2:10 여호와의 말씀에 시온의 딸아 노래하고 기뻐하라 이는 내가 와서 네 가운데에 머물 것임이라

2:11 그 날에 많은 나라가 여호와께 속하여 내 백성이 될 것이요 나는 네 가운데에 머물리라 네가 만군의 여호와께서 나를 네게 보내신 줄 알리라

2:12 여호와께서 장차 유다를 거룩한 땅에서 자기 소유를 삼으시고 다시 예루살렘을 택하시리니

2:13 모든 육체가 여호와 앞에서 잠잠할 것은 여호와께서 그의 거룩한 처소에서 일어나심이니라 하라 하더라

10 “Shout and be glad, Daughter Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,” declares the Lord. 11 “Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. 12 The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem. 13 Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.”

                  세대를 뛰어넘어 사랑 받는 20세기 최고의 판타지 바이블이라 칭송받는 시리즈가 있습니다. 전세계 판매 부수 1억 2,000만 부를 기록한 C.S. 루이스의 걸작 “나니아 연대기”가 그것인데요. 그 첫번째 책인 “사자, 마녀, 그리고 옷장”의 내용은 이렇습니다. 2차 세계대전 당시 전쟁을 피해 시골 마을의 한 교수의 집에 맡겨진 네 남매가 우연히 하얀 마녀가 지배하고 있는 신비의 나라 나니아로 들어서게 됩니다. 그곳에서 그들은 위대한 사자 아슬란과 함께 하얀 마녀를 상대하게 된다는 이야기 입니다. 저는 개인적으로 이 책에서 매우 인상깊었던 대사가 있는데요. 그것은 하얀 마녀가 지배하여 영원히 겨울 뿐인 나니아에 전설처럼 전해지고 있는 진정한 왕, 아슬란에 대한 소식이었습니다. 주인공 일행에게 비버 부부가 이렇게 이야기하지요. “아슬란님이 움직이고 있다고 합니다. 아마 이미 도착하셨을지도 몰라요” 얼어붙은 나니아에서 그들의 희망은 나니아의 진정한 왕 아슬란의 귀환이었습니다. 오늘 말씀도 마찬가지입니다. 본문의 마지막을 장식하고 있는 13절을 함께 읽어보겠습니다. “모든 육체가 여호와 앞에서 잠잠할 것은 여호와께서 그의 거룩한 처소에서 일어나심이니라 하라 하더라” 여러분 여호와께서 일어나셨습니다. 하나님이 움직이고 계십니다. 영원히 얼어붙은 겨울과 같은 우리의 삶에 하나님께서 당신의 일을 이루실 것입니다. 오늘은 하나님이 움직이신다는 제목으로 함께 말씀을 나누기 원합니다.

There is a timeless fantasy series, often called one of the 20th century's best fantasy Bibles, beloved across generations. It’s C.S. Lewis’s masterpiece, “The Chronicles of Narnia,” which has sold over 120 million copies worldwide. The first book, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, tells this story: Four siblings, evacuated to the countryside to escape the bombing of World War II, stumble into the magical land of Narnia, a world ruled by the wicked White Witch. There, they join forces with the great Lion, Aslan, to confront her.

I’ve always been deeply struck by a particular line in the book. It concerns the news of Aslan, the true King, which is whispered as a legend in a Narnia gripped by an eternal winter under the White Witch's reign. The Beavers tell the protagonists: “Aslan is on the move - Perhaps has already landed.” In frozen Narnia, their only hope was the return of Aslan, their true King.

Our Scripture passage today echoes this hope. Let’s read the final verse of our text, Zechariah 2:13 (NIV):

“Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.”

Friends, the Lord has roused Himself. God is on the move. In our lives, which can feel like an unending, frozen winter, God is about to accomplish His work. Today, I want to share a message titled "God is on the move," looking at what happens when God moves.

                  하나님이 움직이실 때 일어나는 일 첫번째, 위대한 회복이 일어납니다. 어제 우리는 예루살렘 위에 먹줄, 즉 측량줄이 쳐질 것이라는 말씀을 보았습니다. 오늘 말씀을 보니 바로 그 말씀 그대로 측량줄을 들고 있는 천사가 나타났습니다. 2절을 함께 읽어보겠습니다. “네가 어디로 가느냐 물은즉 그가 내게 대답하되 예루살렘을 측량하여 그 너비와 길이를 보고자 하노라 하고 말할 때에” 마치 건물을 새로 지을 때에 측량줄을 가지고 그 터의 너비와 길이를 측량하는 것처럼 천사가 예루살렘을 재건하기 위해 측량을 하고 있는 것 같은 모습입니다. 이 말씀만 듣더라도 이스라엘 백성들은 기대에 부풀었을 것입니다. 그들이 알던 옛 예루살렘의 영광, 포로로 끌려가기 전의 그 예루살렘으로 다시 회복하시려나 보다라고 생각했을 것입니다. 그런데 다른 천사가 나타나서 그를 맞이합니다. 그리고는 이렇게 말합니다. 4절입니다. 함께 읽어보겠습니다. “이르되 너는 달려가서 그 소년에게 말하여 이르기를 예루살렘은 그 가운데 사람과 가축이 많으므로 성곽 없는 성읍이 될 것이라 하라” 이 말씀에서 말하고 있는 예루살렘은 이들의 기억 속에 있던 예루살렘을 뛰어 넘습니다. 그 가운데 사람과 가축이 너무 많아서 성벽이 없는 성이 될 것이라고 합니다. 회복이 일어나는 정도가 아니라 초회복이 일어나서 성벽이 감당할 수가 없는 것입니다. 그러나 초회복이든 초부흥이든 성이라고 한다면 마땅히 성벽이 있어야 그 주민과 재산을 보호할 수 있지 않겠습니까? 그렇지 않으면 성으로서 아무런 기능을 할 수가 없지요. 자, 이제 5절을 함께 읽겠습니다. “여호와의 말씀에 내가 불로 둘러싼 성곽이 되며 그 가운데에서 영광이 되리라” 누가 성벽이 되어 주신다고 하십니까? 하나님께서 불로 둘러싼 성벽이 되어 주신다고 하십니다. 완전한 보호. 누구도 침입할 수 없습니다. 불로 둘러싼 성벽, 무엇이 떠오르십니까? 네, 그렇습니다. 에덴 동산이 떠오릅니다. 이 회복은 우리가 생각할 수 있는 회복이 아닙니다. 하나님이 처음 창조하셨던 에덴 동산과 같이 회복되는 위대한 회복인 것입니다. 원죄를 지고 에덴을 떠나 광야로 향해야 했던 모든 인간의 운명을 그리스도께서 다시 생명으로 바꾸셨던 것처럼, 하나님께서는 이 같은 위대한 회복을 일으키시려 지금 움직이고 계신다는 것입니다.  

First, When God Moves, a Great Restoration Occurs.

Yesterday, we read a promise about a measuring line—a plumb line—that would be stretched out over Jerusalem. Today’s passage opens with that promise being fulfilled: an angel appears with the measuring line. Let’s read verse 2 (NIV):

“I asked, ‘Where are you going?’ He answered me, ‘To measure Jerusalem, to find out how wide and how long it is.’”

It’s the image of a surveyor preparing to rebuild, taking the dimensions for the city's reconstruction. Hearing this, the exiles must have been filled with expectation. They probably thought, "The former glory of the old Jerusalem—the city before the exile—is being restored!"

But then, another angel intercepts the first, delivering a message that surpasses those expectations. Look at verse 4 (NIV):

“and said to him: ‘Run, tell that young man, “Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of people and animals in it.”’”

The Jerusalem described here is beyond anything they remembered. It will be so overwhelmed with people and livestock—a super-restoration, a super-revival—that the old walls simply won't be able to contain it. But if it's a city, a place of safety, shouldn't it have a wall to protect its inhabitants and their possessions? Otherwise, it’s functionally defenseless.

Now, let’s read verse 5 (NIV) together:

“And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory within.’”

Who will become their wall? God Himself will be a wall of fire around them. This is absolute protection. No one can invade. What comes to mind when you hear "a wall of fire"? The Garden of Eden. This is not a restoration we can imagine; it’s a magnificent restoration, a return to the state of Eden, just as God originally created it. Just as Christ reversed humanity’s destiny from bearing the original sin and marching into the wilderness, so God is now moving to bring about this great restoration.

                  두번째, 눈동자와 같은 당신의 백성들을 위해 움직이십니다. 본문 6-7절의 말씀은 아직 예루살렘으로 귀환하지 않고 포로지에 남아있던 유대인들을 부르는 장면입니다. 7절 말씀 함께 읽겠습니다. “바벨론 성에 거주하는 시온아 이제 너는 피할지니라” 저는 이 말씀을 보며 마치 미국이 군사작전을 펼치기 전에 해당 지역의 미대사관 직원들을 대피시키는 모습이 연상됩니다. 하나님께서 그들을 어떻게 치시려는지 먼저 그 지역에 있는 당신의 백성들부터 대피시키시는 것입니다. 그것은 왜 그렇습니까? 당신의 백성들이 하나님께 눈동자와 같이 소중하기 때문입니다. 8절을 함께 읽겠습니다. “만군의 여호와께서 이같이 말씀하시되 영광을 위하여 나를 너희를 노략한 여러 나라로 보내셨나니 너희를 범하는 자는 그의 눈동자를 범하는 것이라” 이스라엘을 노략하는 것은 곧 하나님의 눈동자를 범하는 것과 같다고 합니다. 이스라엘이 그렇게 하나님께 소중하기에 그들을 괴롭히는 자들을 결코 가만히 두지 않으십니다. 9절 말씀처럼 하나님이 움직이실 때 그들은 자기를 섬기던 자들에게 노략거리가 될 것입니다.

Second, God Moves for His People, the Apple of His Eye.

Verses 6 and 7 are a direct call to the Jewish people still remaining in exile in Babylon. Let’s read verse 7 (NIV):

“ ‘Come away! Flee from the land of the north,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven,’ declares the Lord.”

This reminds me of a military operation where a nation first evacuates its embassy staff from a dangerous area before launching a strike. God is evacuating His people from the land He is about to strike. Why? Because His people are as precious to Him as the apple of His eye.

Let’s read verse 8 (NIV):

“For this is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye—’”

To plunder Israel is to touch the apple of God’s eye. Because Israel is so precious to Him, He will not stand by while they are tormented. When God moves, as verse 9 says, those who enslaved them will become their plunder.

                  세번째, 하나님께서 우리로 당신의 처소를 삼으십니다. 우리는 13절에서 하나님께서 그의 거룩한 처소에서 일어나시는 것을 보았습니다. 모든 육체가 그 앞에서 잠잠하게 될 것이라 말씀하셨습니다. 그것은 모든 대적들에게 경고하시는 말씀이시겠지요. 그런데 하나님께서 당신의 백성에게는 이렇게 명령하십니다. 10절입니다. 함께 읽겠습니다. “여호와의 말씀에 시온의 딸아 노래하고 기뻐하라 이는 내가 와서 네 가운데에 머물 것임이라” 당신의 백성에게는 노래하고 기뻐하라고 하십니다. 왜 그렇습니까? 바로 하나님께서 우리로 당신의 처소를 삼으시기 때문입니다. 하나님이 우리 가운데 거하실 때 우리의 모든 상황은 근본적으로 바뀌게 될 것입니다. 하나님께서 자신의 백성을 부르시는 호칭을 보십시오. “시온의 딸” 이라고 부르시지 않습니까? 하나님께서 당신의 백성을 얼마나 사랑하시는지를 보여주는 달달한 애칭입니다. 이 말씀을 통해 우리는 하나님과 그 백성이 얼마나 특별하고 친밀한 관계인지를 알 수 있습니다. 더욱 감사한 것은 그 날이 이르면 이스라엘 뿐만이 아니라 많은 나라가 하나님께 돌아와 하나님의 처소가 되는 그 친밀한 관계 가운데로 들어오게 된다는 것입니다.  11절입니다. 함께 읽겠습니다.  “그날에 많은 나라가 여호와께 속하여 내 백성이 될 것이요 나는 네 가운데에 머물리라 네가 만군의 여호와께서 나를 네게 보내신 줄 알리라” 예수님께서 우리를 위해 십자가를 지셨을 때, 우리의 죄는 사하여졌고 이방 나라의 백성이었던 우리에게까지 복음이 전해졌습니다. 그리고 우리는 하나님의 성전이 되어 성령께서 우리 가운데 거하시는 하나님의 처소가 되었습니다. 이것을 기억할 때에 우리는 노래하고 기뻐할 수 있는 것입니다.

Third, God Moves to Make Us His Dwelling Place.

We saw in verse 13 that God has roused Himself from His holy dwelling, and all mankind will be silent before Him. This is a clear warning to all His adversaries. But to His own people, God gives a different command. Let’s read verse 10 (NIV):

“ ‘Shout and be glad, Daughter Zion. For I am coming to live among you,’ declares the Lord.”

He commands His people to sing and to rejoice. Why? Because God is coming to live among us, making us His dwelling place. When God resides among us, our entire situation changes fundamentally.

Look at the endearing term God uses for His people: “Daughter Zion.” It’s a sweet term of affection that shows just how much God loves His people. This passage reveals the special, intimate relationship between God and His people.

What is even more wonderful is that when that day comes, this intimacy won't be limited to Israel. Many nations will join them, coming into this close relationship as God's dwelling place. Let's read verse 11 (NIV):

“ ‘Many nations will join the Lord in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.’ ”

When Jesus died on the cross for us, our sins were forgiven, and the Gospel was extended even to us—the Gentile nations. We have become the temple of God, the very dwelling place where the Holy Spirit resides. Remembering this allows us to sing and be glad.

                  말씀을 맺습니다. 우리의 삶은 예기치 않은 고난과 불안으로 가득할 수 있습니다. 마치 영원히 끝나지 않는 나니아의 겨울처럼 우리를 얼어붙게 하는 추위에 희망을 잃어버릴 것만 같을 수도 있습니다. 그러나 하나님께서 그 처소에서 일어나셨습니다. 하나님이 움직이십니다. 우리가 생각할 수 없는 위대한 회복을 행하시고 우리를 보호하시며 우리의 대적에게 복수하십니다. 우리를 애칭으로 부르시며 우리 가운데 계시겠다고 약속하십니다. ‘내가 너의 불 성벽이 되리라.’ ‘너는 내 눈동자와 같다.’ ‘내가 너희 가운데 거하겠다.’ 말씀하시는 하나님께서 지금 움직이고 계십니다. 고난 가운데 기대하십시오. 기뻐하십시오. 노래하십시오. 하나님께서 움직이십니다. 

Conclusion: The Lord is on the move

Our lives can often be filled with unexpected suffering and anxiety. Like the never-ending winter of Narnia, the chilling cold can make us feel like all hope is lost.

But God has roused Himself from His dwelling. God is on the move.

He is performing a great restoration we cannot even imagine. He promises to protect us and take vengeance on our adversaries. He calls us by a loving nickname and promises to be present among us. ‘I will be a wall of fire around you.’ ‘You are the apple of my eye.’ ‘I will live among you.’ The God who speaks these words is moving now.

In the midst of your hardship, expect Him. Be glad. Sing!

God is on the move.
