A Challenge to God’s Church, November 11
从心出发-第315章
“我又看见另有一个兽从地中上来,有两角如同羊羔,说话好象龙”(启13:11)。[1]{FH 327.1}
从心出发-第315章
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.Revelation 13:11.{FH 327.1}[1]
从心出发-第315章
主在拔摩岛上向使徒约翰展示的场面,显示了教会经验中深奥且惊心动魄的事。重要的主题以表号和象征呈现在他面前,使上帝的子民可以明白他们前面的危险和冲突。……[2]{FH 327.2}
从心出发-第315章
To the apostle John on the Isle of Patmos were opened scenes of deep and thrilling interest in the experience of the church. Subjects of intense interest and vast importance were presented to him in figures and symbols, that the people of God might become intelligent concerning the perils and conflicts before them....{FH 327.2}[2]
从心出发-第315章
约翰看到,象征着地上政权的大红龙,豹状兽和两角象羊羔的兽专门践踏上帝的律法,迫害祂的子民。这场战争一直要进行到末日。圣洁的妇人及其儿女儿所象征的上帝子民人数极少。在末日只剩下一些余民。……[3]{FH 327.3}
从心出发-第315章
Under the symbols of a great red dragon, a leopardlike beast, and a beast with lamblike horns, the earthly governments which would especially engage in trampling upon God’s law and persecuting His people were presented to John. The war is carried on till the close of time. The people of God, symbolized by a holy woman and her children, were represented as greatly in the minority. In the last days only a remnant still existed....{FH 327.3}[3]
从心出发-第315章
撒但先是藉着异教,然后藉着罗马教施展他的权势,数千年来努力从地上消除上帝忠心的见证人。异教徒和罗马教徒都是受龙的精神鼓动的。他们的区别仅在于罗马教假装侍奉上帝,是更危险更残忍的仇敌。撒但藉着罗马教把世界掳去了。自称信奉上帝的教会被悉数扫入了这种欺骗中,上帝的子民在龙的忿怒之下受苦害达一千多年之久。[4]{FH 327.4}
从心出发-第315章
Through paganism, and then through the Papacy, Satan exerted his power for many centuries in an effort to blot from the earth God’s faithful witnesses. Pagans and papists were actuated by the same dragon spirit. They differed only in that the Papacy, making a pretense of serving God, was the more dangerous and cruel foe. Through the agency of Romanism, Satan took the world captive. The professed church of God was swept into the ranks of this delusion, and for more than a thousand years the people of God suffered under the dragon’s ire.{FH 327.4}[4]
从心出发-第315章
当罗马教丧失权柄,被迫停止逼迫时,约翰看见一个新的权势上来,附和龙的声音,做同样残忍而亵渎的事。这个要与上帝的教会和律法作战的最后权势,是用两角如同羔羊的兽象征的。在它以前的兽是从海中上来的,而它则是从地中上来的,说明它所象征的那个国家是和平兴起的。那“有两角如同羔羊”充分表达了美国政府的特征,表现在它的两个基本原则:共和主义和新教教义。这两个原则乃是美国力量与兴旺的秘诀。那些最先在美国海岸找到庇护的人,曾经高兴自己到了一个脱离罗马教骄横和君主暴政的国家。他们决心在公民和宗教自由的广泛基础上建立一个政权。——《时兆》,1899年11月1日。[5]{FH 327.5}
从心出发-第315章
And when the Papacy, robbed of its strength, was forced to desist from persecution, John beheld a new power coming up to echo the dragon’s voice and carry forward the same cruel and blasphemous work. This power, the last that is to wage war against the church and the law of God, was symbolized by a beast with lamblike horns. The beasts preceding it had risen from the sea, but this came up out of the earth, representing the peaceful rise of the nation which is symbolized. The “two horns like a lamb” well represent the character of the United States Government as expressed in its two fundamental principles, Republicanism and Protestantism. These principles are the secret of our power and prosperity as a nation. Those who first found asylum on the shores of America rejoiced that they had reached a country free from the arrogant claims of popery and the tyranny of kingly rule. They determined to establish a government upon the broad foundation of civil and religious liberty.—Signs of the Times, November 1, 1899.{FH 327.5}[5]
