The Gospel to the World, February 21
我们回天家-第53章
“这天国的福音,要传遍天下,对万民作见证,然后末期才来到”(太24:14)。{HB68.1}[1]
我们回天家-第53章
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.—Matthew 24:14.{HB 68.1}[1]
我们回天家-第53章
基督已经提出祂降临的种种预兆。祂说明我们可以知道什么时候祂是临近了,正在门口了。祂论到那些目睹这些预兆的人说:“这世代还没有过去,这些事都要成就。”这些预兆都已出现。现在我们可以确实知道我们的主降临的日子近了。祂说:“天地要废去,我的话却不能废去。”……{HB68.2}[2]
我们回天家-第53章
Christ has given signs of His coming. He declares that we may know when He is near, even at the doors. He says of those who see these signs, “This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” These signs have appeared. Now we know of a surety that the Lord’s coming is at hand. “Heaven and earth shall pass away,” He says, “but My words shall not pass away.” . . .{HB 68.2}[2]

人子第二次降临确定的时辰乃是上帝的奥秘。……{HB68.3}[3]
我们回天家-第53章
The exact time of the second coming of the Son of man is God’s mystery. . . .{HB 68.3}[3]
我们回天家-第53章
基督在预言耶路撒冷毁灭时,说:“只因不法的事增多,许多人的爱心,才渐浙冷淡了。惟有忍耐到底的,必然得救。这天国的福音,要传遍天下,对万民作见证,然后末期才来到。”这一段预言必要再度应验。那时不法之事增多,与现代的罪恶充盈正好遥遥相对。关于宣传福音的预言也是如此。在耶路撒冷倾覆之前,保罗受圣灵感动,提到福音已经“传到普天之下”(西1:23)。现在也是如此。在人子降临之前,这永远的福音也必传给“各国各族各方各民”(启14:6,14)。上帝“已经定了日子,要……审判天下”(徒17:31)。基督告诉我们那日子要何时来到。祂并没有说世人都要悔改,只说:“这天国的福音,要传遍天下,对万民作见证,然后末期才来到。”我们能藉着传福音给世人而催促我们主的复临。我们不单是要仰望,而且也要催促上帝的日子来到(译者按:彼后3:12的“切切”原文作“催促”)。如果基督的教会早已完成了上帝所指定的工作,全世界就早已听见警告,主耶稣也早已带着能力和大荣耀降临了。……{HB68.4}[4]
我们回天家-第53章
In the prophecy of Jerusalem’s destruction Christ said, “Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” This prophecy will again be fulfilled. The abounding iniquity of that day finds its counterpart in this generation. So with the prediction in regard to the preaching of the gospel. Before the fall of Jerusalem, Paul, writing by the Holy Spirit, declared that the gospel was preached to “every creature which is under heaven.” (Colossians 1:23.) So now, before the coming of the Son of man, the everlasting gospel is to be preached “to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.” (Revelation 14:6,14.) God “hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world.” (Acts 17:31.) Christ tells us when that day shall be ushered in. He does not say that all the world will be converted, but that “this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” By giving the gospel to the world it is in our power to hasten our Lord’s return. We are not only to look for but to hasten the coming of the day of God. (2 Peter 3:12, margin.) Had the church of Christ done her appointed work as the Lord ordained, the whole world would before this have been warned, and the Lord Jesus would have come to our earth in power and great glory. . . .{HB 68.4}[4]

那些儆醒等侯主来的人,并不是在闲懒地等候。……他们必要把慎密的戒备和热诚的工作配合起来。因为他们知道主已经在门前了,所以他们的热心就激发他们与众天使合作,来从事救灵的工作。(《历代的愿望》632-634页){HB68.5}[5]
我们回天家-第53章
Those who watch for the Lord’s coming are not waiting in idle expectancy. . . . With vigilant watching they combine earnest working. Because they know that the Lord is at the door, their zeal is quickened to co-operate with the divine intelligences in working for the salvation of souls.—The Desire of Ages, 632-634.{HB 68.5}[5]
