高举主耶稣-第38章
“应当敬拜那创造天地海,和众水泉源的”(启14:7)。{LHU51.1}
高举主耶稣-第38章
Worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.Revelation 14:7.{LHU 51.1}[1]

人应当敬拜上帝的理由乃是因为祂是创造主,而且所有的众生都因祂而存在。所以在圣经中,每逢提到上帝要人尊崇敬拜祂为超乎异邦万神之上的时候,总是引述祂创造的权能为明证。“外邦的神都属虚无;惟独耶和华创造诸天”(诗96:5)。“那圣者说,你们将谁比我,叫他与我相等呢?你们向上举目,看谁创造这万象?”“创造诸天的耶和华,制造成全大地的上帝,……祂如此说,我是耶和华,再没有别神”(赛40:25,26;45:18)。{LHU51.2}

The duty to worship God is based upon the fact that He is the Creator and that to Him all other beings owe their existence. And wherever, in the Bible, His claim to reverence and worship, above the gods of the heathen, is presented, there is cited the evidence of His creative power. “All the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens” (Psalm 96:5). “To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things.” “Thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it: ... I am the Lord; and there is none else” (Isaiah 40:25, 26;45:18).{LHU 51.2}[2]

诗人说:“你们当晓得耶和华是上帝;我们是祂造的,也是属祂的。”“来啊,我们要屈身敬拜,在造我们的耶和华面前跪下”(诗100:3;95:6)。天上许多敬拜上帝的圣洁生灵,也提出他们尊崇祂的理由说:“我们的主,我们的上帝,祢是配得荣耀尊贵权柄的;因为祢创造了万物”(启4:11)。{LHU51.3}

Says the psalmist: “Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves.” “O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker” (Psalm 100:3;95:6). And the holy beings who worship God in heaven state, as the reason why their homage is due to Him: “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things” (Revelation 4:11).{LHU 51.3}[3]

在《启示录》第十四章中,天使呼唤人应当敬拜创造主:这预言提到一等因三重警告的结果而遵守上帝诫命的人。在诫命之中,有一条直接提出上帝为创造主。第四诫说:“第七日是向耶和华你上帝当守的安息日。……因为六日之内,耶和华造天、地、海、和其中的万物,第七日便安息,所以耶和华赐福与安息日,定为圣日”(出20:10-11)。论到安息日,主耶和华又说:“这日在我与你们中间为证据,使你们知道我是耶和华你们的上帝”(结20:20)。祂又提出理由说:“因为六日之内,耶和华造天地,第七日便安息舒畅”(出31:17)。……{LHU51.4}

In?Revelation 14, men are called upon to worship the Creator; and the prophecy brings to view a class that, as the result of the threefold message, are keeping the commandments of God. One of these commandments points directly to God as the Creator. The fourth precept declares: “The seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: ... for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it” (Exodus 20:10, 11). Concerning the Sabbath, the Lord says, further, that it is “a sign, ... that ye may know that I am the Lord your God” (Ezekiel 20:20). And the reason given is: “For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed” (Exodus 31:17)....{LHU 51.4}[4]

何时我们仍以祂为我们的创造主而敬拜祂,则同时安息日也要继续的存留,作为这个事实的证据和纪念。如果安息日一直被普遍遵守的话,则人类的思想与爱情便要一直归向创造主,以祂为尊崇敬拜的对象,而世上也就一直不会有拜偶像的人、无神主义者或怀疑派了。遵守安息日乃是一个证据,表明遵守的人是忠于那“创造天、地、海、和众水泉源”的真上帝。由此可见,那吩咐人敬拜上帝并遵守祂诫命的信息会特别呼召他们谨守第四条诫命。(GC.436-438).{LHU51.5}

So long as the fact that He is our Creator continues to be a reason why we should worship Him, so long the Sabbath will continue as its sign and memorial. Had the Sabbath been universally kept, man’s thoughts and affections would have been led to the Creator as an object of reverence and worship, and there would never have been an idolater, an atheist, or an infidel. The keeping of the Sabbath is a sign of loyalty to the true God, “him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” It follows that the message which commands men to worship God and keep His commandments will especially call upon them to keep the fourth commandment (The Great Controversy, 436-438).{LHU 51.5}[5]
