An Evil Character Leads to Apostasy, March 2
得胜的基督-第63章
“迦南当受咒诅,必给他弟兄作奴仆的奴仆”(创9:25)。{CTr 68.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第63章
Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.Genesis 9:25.{CTr 68.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第63章
由于人类道德的败落,全地已被洪水所灭。上帝为要使这荒凉的世界再有人烟,就保全了挪亚的一家。他曾对挪亚说:“在这世代中,我见你在我面前是义人”(创7: 1)。然而在挪亚的三个儿子中,又迅速出现了洪水前世人之间善与恶的大区分。洪水之后,在人类的先祖闪,含和雅弗身上可以看出他们子孙品质的雏型。{CTr 68.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第63章
To repeople the desolate earth, which the Flood had so lately swept from its moral corruption, God had preserved but one family, the household of Noah, to whom He had declared, “Thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.” Yet in the three sons of Noah was speedily developed the same great distinction seen in the world before the Flood. In Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who were to be the founders of the human race, was foreshadowed the character of their posterity.{CTr 68.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第63章
挪亚受上帝的灵感,预先说明了从人类这三个先祖所发源的三大民族的历史。他用含的儿子迦南来代表含的后裔,论到他们说:“迦南当受咒诅,必给他弟兄作奴仆的奴仆”(创9:25)。 含的不孝之罪说明了他久已没有孝敬父母的心,并显明他品格上的不敬虔与邪恶。这些邪恶的特性在迦南和他的子孙身上流传下来。他们继续不断地犯罪,招致了上帝的刑罚。……{CTr 68.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第63章
Noah, speaking by divine inspiration, foretold the history of the three great races to spring from these fathers of the human race. Tracing the descendants of Ham, through the son rather than the father, he declared, “Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.” ... Evil characteristics were perpetuated in Canaan and his posterity, whose continued guilt called upon them the judgments of God....{CTr 68.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第63章
迦南的后裔终于堕落到最腐败的邪教崇拜中。虽然预言的咒诅注定他们要作奴仆,但这厄运却延迟了数百年之久。上帝容忍了他们不敬虔和败坏的罪,直到他们超过上帝忍耐的限度。于是上帝取消了他们的地位,使他们成了闪和雅弗后裔的奴仆。……{CTr 68.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第63章
Though the prophetic curse had doomed them to slavery, the doom was withheld for centuries. God bore with their impiety and corruption until they passed the limits of divine forbearance. Then they were dispossessed, and became bondmen to the descendants of Shem and Japheth....{CTr 68.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第63章
洪水之后的一段时期中,挪亚和他的儿孙仍旧住在方舟所停留的群山之间。后来他们人数增加,不久就因背道而引起了分裂。那些要忘记创造主并要摆脱祂律法约束的人,觉得他们敬畏上帝之同伴的教训和榜样乃是一种经常的烦扰;所以过不久就决定离开敬拜上帝的人。因此,他们就迁移到幼发拉底河两岸的示拿平原去。他们被这里优美的环境和肥沃的土地所吸引住了,就决定在这平原上安家。{CTr 68.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第63章
For a time the descendants of Noah continued to dwell among the mountains where the ark had rested. As their numbers increased, apostasy soon led to division. Those who desired to forget their Creator and to cast off the restraint of His law felt a constant annoyance from the teaching and example of their God-fearing associates, and after a time they decided to separate from the worshipers of God. Accordingly they journeyed to the plain of Shinar, on the banks of the river Euphrates. They were attracted by the beauty of the situation and the fertility of the soil, and upon this plain they determined to make their home.{CTr 68.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第63章
他们决意在这里建一座城,城内造一座极高的塔,使它成为世界的奇观。他们这样行,目的是要防止众人向外迁移。上帝曾经指示,人要散居在全地上,遍满并管理这地。但是这些建造巴别塔的人却决心要保持他们社会的统一,并要建立一个终必包括全地的大帝国。……这座通天高塔要作为这些建造者智慧和能力的纪念物,使他们的名声永垂不朽。(PP.117-119){CTr 68.6}[6]
得胜的基督-第63章
Here they decided to build a city, and in it a tower of such stupendous height as should render it the wonder of the world. These enterprises were designed to prevent the people from scattering abroad in colonies. God had directed men and women to disperse throughout the earth, to replenish and subdue it; but these Babel builders determined to keep their community united in one body, and to found a monarchy that should eventually embrace the whole earth.... The magnificent tower, reaching to the heavens, was intended to stand as a monument of the power and wisdom of its builders, perpetuating their fame to the latest generations.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 117-119.{CTr 68.6}[6]
