We return now to the questions we a

We return now to the questions we ask above concerning the outcome of the promises made in Isaiah 40 and Ezekiel 34 and their meaning for modern readers.
Both passages anticipate events that are to take place at some time in the future, when God will be present, will act decisively, and will be acknowledged as God. Were these anticipations actualized, and if so, in what way? If not, are they still to be realized, or were the prophets wrong? In either case, what meaning can their prophecies have for modern readers?
Clearly, when second Isaiah speaks about God’s appearing in glory, he is not speaking of an appearance visible to eyes of flesh, even though he asserts that “all flesh” shall behold the appearance. The God who “measured the waters in the hollow of his hand” (v 12) is not visible to human eyes in any circumstances. The glory of God, whose manifestation the writer prophesies, can be seen only with eyes of faith. It is the same glory that “filled the whole earth” according to the First Isaiah’s inaugural vision (6:3). Just as the glory which fills the whole earth was already visible in Isaiah’s time to those who had eyes to see, so the glory which second Isaiah prophesied would be manifest only to those who had faith. However, in that event all humanity would have been brought to faith, so all would behold the glory. The eyes of faith and the eyes of unfaith observe exactly the same phenomena, but the one regards them as manifestations of God’s power and wisdom, while the other sees only what they appear to be.
If the future appearance of God in glory anticipated in Isaiah 40 is not essentially different from the presence of God which could be known in the present, then we would not have to posit “a new heaven and a new earth” as the precondition of fulfillment. Both Isaiah 40 and Ezekiel 34 seem to be speaking about the non-too-distant future. Indeed, the events heralded by second Isaiah are already beginning to take place in his own time. In chao.34 Ezekiel is anticipating a time somewhat farther into the future, though not necessarily more than a few generations. His hope of a restoration of the Israelite nation might reasonably have been expected to be fulfilled in that length of time. The next question, then, is whether the expectations of these two writers were actually realized in subsequent years.

我们现在回到我们问上文关于成果的以赛亚书 40 和以西结书 34 和他们的意思为现代读者所作的承诺的问题。两段经文预期事件是发生在未来，有些时候，当神将出席，会采取果断行动，并将作为神承认。被实现，这些期待，如果是这样，以何种方式?如果不是，是他们仍然得以实现，或错了先知?在任一情况下，有什么意义可以预言，为现代读者?显然，当第二以赛亚书中关于神的出现在荣耀，他说的不外观可见到眼睛的肉，即使他声称，"所有众生"须看外观。"测量在他的手中空水域"的神 (v 12) 不是在任何情况下的人眼可见的。信仰的视线只可以看到神的荣耀，作家预言，其表现。它是"充满整个地球"根据第一以赛亚就职视觉 (6:3) 的同样光荣。正如填充整个地球的荣耀已经是可见在以赛亚书的时间向那些有眼睛看的所以第二以赛亚所预言的荣耀也是清单只对那些有信心的人。然而，在这种情况全人类将已提请信仰，所以所有将主的荣光。信心的眼目和不忠的眼睛观察完全相同的现象，但一个视为他们表现的神的力量和智慧，而另一派则认为只有他们似乎是。如果预期在以赛亚书 40 的荣耀神的未来的外观是不可能在目前已知的上帝的存在本质上的区别，然后我们不会如何履行的前提假定"新天地新"。以赛亚书 40 和以西结书 34 似乎在讲非太遥远的未来。事实上，第二以赛亚先知所预示的事件正已经开始发生在他自己的时间。Chao.34 在以西结书预计时间有点远到未来，虽然不一定超过几代人。他希望恢复以色列国家合理本来在这段漫长的时间履行。接下来的问题是这两位作家的期望在随后的几年中，实际上的实现。

我们现在回到我问的问题上面关于在以赛亚40和以西结书34和现代读者的意义作出的承诺的结果。这两个段落都会在将来的某个时候发生的事件，当上帝会出现时，会采取果断行动，并将被承认为上帝。这些预期实现，如果是这样的话，以什么方式？如果不，他们还是要被认识，或是先知错了吗？在任何情况下，他们的预言有什么意义可以为现代读者？
清楚，当第二以赛亚谈到出现神的荣耀，他是不是说肉眼可见的外观，即使他声称，“凡有血气的“必得见的外观。
