我们回天家-第328章
“日子将到,我必刑罚巴比伦雕刻的偶像。她全地必然抱愧”(耶51:47)。{HB355.1}[1]
我们回天家-第328章
Therefore behold, the days are coming that I will bring judgment on the carved images of Babylon; her whole land shall be ashamed.—Jeremiah 51:47.{HB 355.1}[1]
我们回天家-第328章
第三位天使的信息也必这样传开。及至这个信息以最大的能力传开的时候,上帝要用卑微的器皿为祂作工。祂要引导那些献身为祂服务之人的意志。这些工人的资格多半出于圣灵的恩膏,而少由于学校的训练。大有信心和恒切祷告的人要受激奋而以圣洁的热忱出去宣讲上帝所交给他们的信息。巴比伦的罪恶都要暴露出来。那用政治权力来强迫人遵守教规,招魂术的侵入,教皇势力的潜长急进──这一切的可怕结果都要揭露了。因了这些严肃的警告,众人要深受感动。成千上万从来没有听过这样道理的人这时就要倾听了。他们要惊异地听人见证说,巴比伦就是那因自己的异端和罪恶,又因拒绝上天所赐的真理而堕落的教会。然而这些人要往他们从前的教师那里切心询问说,这些事果然如此吗?那时他们的传道人就要说出一些虚谎的话,预言悦耳的事来抚慰他们的恐惧,并镇静他们那惊觉了的良心。但是既有许多人不满意这些仅以人的权威为根据的话,并要求一个坦白的“耶和华如此说”的答复,那班专讨人喜欢的传道人便要像古时的法利赛人一样,因为有人怀疑他们的权柄,就满怀愤怒,申斥这信息是出于撒但的,并要鼓动那喜爱罪恶的群众起来嘲骂逼迫那些传扬警告的人。{HB355.2}[2]
我们回天家-第328章
Thus the message of the third angel will be proclaimed. As the time comes for it to be given with greatest power, the Lord will work through humble instruments, leading the minds of those who consecrate themselves to His service. The laborers will be qualified rather by the unction of His Spirit than by the training of literary institutions. People of faith and prayer will be constrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring the words which God gives them. The sins of Babylon will be laid open. The fearful results of enforcing the observances of the church by civil authority, the inroads of spiritualism, the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power—all will be unmasked. By these solemn warnings the people will be stirred. Thousands upon thousands will listen who have never heard words like these. In amazement they hear the testimony that Babylon is the church, fallen because of her errors and sins, because of her rejection of the truth sent to her from heaven. As the people go to their former teachers with the eager inquiry, Are these things so? the ministers present fables, prophesy smooth things, to soothe their fears and quiet the awakened conscience. But since many refuse to be satisfied with mere human authority and demand a plain “Thus saith the Lord,” the popular ministry, like the Pharisees of old, filled with anger as their authority is questioned, will denounce the message as of Satan and stir up the sin-loving multitudes to revile and persecute those who proclaim it.{HB 355.2}[2]

当这场斗争发展到新的地区,唤起众人去注意那被人践踏的上帝律法之时,撒但就要大大活动起来。那警告所带来的能力只能使那些反对的人震怒如狂。各教会的教牧人员必要用出几乎超人的力量来阻拦真光,免得它光照他们的羊群。他们要尽一切方法制止人讨论这个重大的问题。各教会要请求政治权力的臂助,而且在这种工作上,罗马教徒与基督教徒要联合起来。当这强迫人守星期日的运动愈演愈烈的时候,国家就要执行律法来逼迫那些遵守上帝诫命的人。人要以罚款和监禁去威胁他们,也有人要用地位和其他的奖励与利益来诱惑他们,要他们放弃信仰。但他们始终如一的回答乃是:“请从圣经中指出我们的错误来。”(《善恶的斗争》606,607页){HB355.3}[3]

As the controversy extends into new fields and the minds of the people are called to God’s downtrodden law, Satan is astir. The power attending the message will only madden those who oppose it. The clergy will put forth almost superhuman efforts to shut away the light lest it should shine upon their flocks. By every means at their command they will endeavor to suppress the discussion of these vital questions. The church appeals to the strong arm of civil power, and, in this work, papists and Protestants unite. As the movement for Sunday enforcement becomes more bold and decided, the law will be invoked against commandment keepers. They will be threatened with fines and imprisonment, and some will be offered positions of influence, and other rewards and advantages, as inducements to renounce their faith. But their steadfast answer is: “Show us from the word of God our error.”—The Great Controversy, 606, 607.{HB 355.3}[3]
