主必快来-第144章
一八三三年,救主所应许作为祂复临之记号的最后一个预兆出现了。耶稣说:“众星要从天上坠落”(太24:29)。约翰在异象中看到那宣告上帝大日的景象时,他在《启示录》中声称:“天上的星辰坠落于地,如同无花果树被大风摇动,落下未熟的果子一样”(启6:13)。这一段预言在一八三三年十一月十三日的大流星雨中显著而动人地应验了。那真是一次范围最广大,现象最新奇的流星雨,是历史上空前绝后的事件:“那时,全美国的穹苍中星火四射达好几个小时之久。自从美国立国以来,从来没有发生过天上的异象,足使一等人看来大为叹赏,而另一等人却惶恐不已。”“这辉煌而可怕的奇观,如今仍在许多人心中萦回不已。……就是雨点也从来没有比这次落在地上的流星更密;东南西北,全是一样。总而言之,整个天空似乎都在震动着。……这种异象北美洲全地都可看见,正如西里曼教授的日志上所形容的。……从半夜二时直到天亮,天空晴朗,万里无云,整个穹苍不停地发射着灿烂夺目的光芒”(德文斯《美国的发展》第2章1-5页, M. Devens, American Progress; or, The Great Events of the Greatest Century)。……{Mar 151.1}

In 1833, ... the last of the signs appeared which were promised by the Saviour as tokens of His second advent. Said Jesus, “The stars shall fall from heaven.” And John in the Revelation declared, as he beheld in vision the scenes that should herald the day of God, “The stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.” This prophecy received a striking and impressive fulfilment in the great meteoric shower of November 13, 1833. That was the most extensive and wonderful display of falling stars which has ever been recorded; “the whole firmament, over all the United States, being then, for hours, in fiery commotion! No celestial phenomenon has ever occurred in this country, since its first settlement, which was viewed with such intense admiration by one class in the community, or with so much dread and alarm by another.” “Its sublimity and awful beauty still linger in many minds.... Never did rain fall much thicker than the meteors fell toward the earth; east, west, north, and south, it was the same. In a word, the whole heavens seemed in motion.... The display, as described in Professor Silliman’s Journal, was seen all over North America.... From two o’clock until broad daylight, ... an incessant play of dazzlingly brilliant luminosities was kept up in the whole heavens.”—R. M. Devens, American Progress; or, The Great Events of the Greatest Century, ch. 28, pars. 1-5.... {Mar 151.2}

这样,耶稣再来的最后一个兆头出现了。关于这些预兆,祂曾嘱咐祂的门徒说:“你们看见这一切的事,也该知道人子近了,正在门口了”(太24:33)。在这些兆头出现之后,约翰看到那即将随之而来的大事:天就挪移,好像书卷被卷起来,地大震动,山岭海岛都被挪移离开本位,使恶人恐惧战兢,设法逃避人子的面(见启6:12-17)。(GC.333,334){Mar 151.2}

Thus was displayed the last of those signs of His coming, concerning which Jesus bade His disciples, “When ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.” After these signs, John beheld, as the great event next impending, the heavens departing as a scroll, while the earth quaked, mountains and islands removed out of their places, and the wicked in terror sought to flee from the presence of the Son of man.35 {Mar 151.3}

但基督并没有把祂降临的日子和时辰告诉人。……人子第二次降临确定的时辰乃是上帝的奥秘。(FLB.334){Mar 151.3}
主必快来-第144章
But the day and the hour of His coming Christ has not revealed.... The exact time of the second coming of the Son of man is God’s mystery.36 {Mar 151.4}
