主必快来-第129章
“耶稣对他们说:‘父凭着自己的权柄所定的时候、日期,不是你们可以知道的’”(徒1:7)。
主必快来-第129章
He said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. Acts 1:7. {Mar 136.1}
主必快来-第129章
时辰掌握在上帝手里。为什么上帝不告诉我们呢?因为祂如果告诉我们了,我们会用之不当。这种知识会在我们中间造成一种局面,大大妨碍上帝为预备一班人,在将来的大日站立得住的工作。我们不要专顾推测上帝没有启示的日子和时辰。耶稣曾吩咐祂的门徒要“警醒”,但没有说出明确的时间。凡跟从祂的人应当听他们元帅的命令。他们在接近主降临的时候,要警醒、等候、祈祷、工作;然而却没有人能预言那时日何时来临;因为“那日子、那时辰,没有人知道”(太24:36)。你们不能说再过一两年或五年祂必回来,也不要说再过十年或二十年主也可能来不了,就此推延祂的来临。……我们不会知道圣灵沛降或基督复临的明确时间。(Ev 221){Mar 136.1}
主必快来-第129章
The times and seasons God has put in His own power. And why has not God given us this knowledge?—Because we would not make a right use of it if He did. A condition of things would result from this knowledge among our people that would greatly retard the work of God in preparing a people to stand in the great day that is to come.... Jesus has told His disciples to “watch,” but not for definite time. His followers are to be in the position of those who are listening for the orders of their Captain; they are to watch, wait, pray, and work, as they approach the time for the coming of the Lord; but no one will be able to predict just when that time will come; for “of that day and hour knoweth no man.” You will not be able to say that He will come in one, two, or five years, neither are you to put off His coming by stating that it may not be for ten or twenty years.... We are not to know the definite time either for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit or for the coming of Christ.8 {Mar 136.2}

我蒙指示,有些人大大错了,他们以为他们的本分乃是到耶路撒冷古城去,(写于1850年代初期,当时提倡“将要时代”的团体主张老耶路撒冷城要建立,成为基督见证的中心,而以此应验旧约圣经某部分的预言)以为救主复临之前,他们在那里还有一番工作要作。这种看法适足以转移人的心思和兴趣,不去进行耶和华当前在第三位天使的信息之下的圣工;因为那些以为他们还必须到耶路撒冷去的人必要把一切的心思寄托在那里,而且他们的金钱也就不拿来捐助现代真理的事业了,却要用来帮助自己和别人去耶路撒冷。我看到这样的使命不会成就真正有益的事,而且他们将要费很多功夫才能使少数的几个犹太人相信基督第一次降世的事,若想叫他们相信祂第二次降临,那就更难了。(EW.75){Mar 136.2}
主必快来-第129章
I was pointed to some who are in the great error of believing that it is their duty to go to Old Jerusalem,* and think they have a work to do there before the Lord comes. Such a view is calculated to take the mind and interest from the present work of the Lord, under the message of the third angel; for those who think that they are yet to go to Jerusalem will have their minds there, and their means will be withheld from the cause of present truth to get themselves and others there. I saw that such a mission would accomplish no real good, that it would take a long while to make a very few of the Jews believe even in the first advent of Christ, much more to believe in His second advent.9 {Mar 136.3}
