After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years.Genesis 5:22.{FH 199.1}[1]
从心出发-第187章
以诺曾从亚当的口中获知人类堕落的惨史,以及上帝屈尊恩赐祂的儿子作世界救赎主的宝贵应许。他相信并依赖所赐的应许。以诺是个圣人,专心事奉上帝。他认识到人类家庭的腐败,所以自行离开该隐的后代,并因他们的罪大恶极责备他们。地上另有一班人是承认上帝,敬畏并崇拜祂的。然而义人以诺因不敬虔之人罪恶的增多而悲伤。他不愿天天和他们来往,惟恐他自己会受他们的不信所影响,以致他的思想不能常对上帝表达祂崇高圣德所应受的神圣尊敬。他既天天目睹他们践踏上帝的权威,他的心就为之烦恼。他选择与他们隔离,并时常独自在一处,专诚默想祈祷。他在上帝面前等候祈求,要更完全地明白上帝的旨意,以便遵行。上帝藉祂的使者与以诺交通,赐给他神圣的指示。祂使以诺明白,祂决不至永远容忍人的悖逆——祂的旨意是要使洪水泛滥全地,毁灭这罪恶的族类。[2]{FH 199.2}
从心出发-第187章
Enoch learned from the lips of Adam the painful story of the fall and the precious story of God’s condescending grace in the gift of His Son as the world’s Redeemer. He believed and relied upon the promise given. Enoch was a holy man. He served God with singleness of heart. He realized the corruptions of the human family and separated himself from the descendants of Cain and reproved them for their great wickedness. There were those upon the earth who acknowledged God, who feared and worshipped Him. Yet righteous Enoch was so distressed with the increasing wickedness of the ungodly that he would not daily associate with them, fearing that he should be affected by their infidelity and that he might not ever regard God with that holy reverence which was due His exalted character. His soul was vexed as he daily beheld them trampling upon the authority of God. He chose to be separate from them and spent much of his time in solitude, giving himself to reflection and prayer. He waited before God and prayed to know His will more perfectly, that he might perform it. God communed with Enoch through His angels and gave him divine instruction. He made known to him that He would not always bear with human beings in their rebellion—that it was His purpose to destroy the sinful race by bringing a flood of waters upon the earth.{FH 199.2}[2]
从心出发-第187章
美丽的伊甸园,就是我们始祖被逐出的地方,依然留在地上,直到上帝决定用洪水毁灭全地。上帝曾建立那个园子,并特别赐予福惠,所以祂本着祂的美意将它从地上撤回,将来还要把它装饰得比从地上撤回时更加荣美,送还到地上来。上帝定意要保守祂完美造化之工的样本,不受祂降到全地的咒诅所影响。……[3]{FH 199.3}
从心出发-第187章
The beautiful Garden of Eden, from which our first parents had been driven, remained until God determined to destroy the earth by a flood. The Lord had planted that garden and especially blessed it, and in His wonderful providence He withdrew it from the earth and will return it again, more gloriously adorned than before it was removed. God purposed to preserve a specimen of His perfect work of creation free from the curse which sin had brought upon the earth....{FH 199.3}[3]
从心出发-第187章
以诺在同上帝交往的过程中,与上天越来越融洽。他的脸上焕发出圣洁的光芒。……上帝爱以诺,因为他坚定不移地跟从祂。……他渴望使自己与他所敬畏,尊重,和崇拜的上帝有更密切地联合。上帝不愿让以诺象其它的人一样死亡,就差遣天使将他接到天上而不尝死味。以诺当着义人与恶人的面被提离开他们。——《时兆》,1879年2月20日。[4]{FH 199.4}
从心出发-第187章
Enoch continued to grow more heavenly while communing with God. His face was radiant with a holy light.... The Lord loved Enoch, because he steadfastly followed Him.... He yearned to unite himself still more closely to God, whom he feared, reverenced, and adored. The Lord would not permit Enoch to die like others, but sent His angels to take him to heaven without seeing death. In the presence of the righteous and the wicked, Enoch was removed from them.—Signs of the Times, February 20, 1879.{FH 199.4}[4]
