Chap. 1—The Fall of Satan
属灵的恩赐-卷一-第2章
主指示我看到撒但曾是天上一位尊贵的天使,地位仅次于耶稣基督。他的容貌象其他天使一样,是温和而快乐的。他的额头又高又宽,表明他有很高的智力。他形体完美,风度高贵而威严。但是当上帝对祂的儿子说:“我们要照着我们的形像造人”时,撒但就嫉妒耶稣。他想要在造人的事上充当顾问。他充满了羡慕、妒忌和仇恨。他希望在天上居于最高位置,仅次于上帝,并且受到最高尊荣。直到此时,全天庭一直都是秩序井然,和谐完美地顺从上帝的政权的。{1SG 17.1}[1]
属灵的恩赐-卷一-第2章
The Lord has shown me that Satan was once an honored angel in heaven, next to Jesus Christ. His countenance was mild, expressive of happiness like the other angels. His forehead was high and broad, and showed great intelligence. His form was perfect. He had a noble, majestic bearing. And I saw that when God said to his Son, Let us make man in our image, Satan was jealous of Jesus. He wished to be consulted concerning the formation of man. He was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred. He wished to be the highest in heaven, next to God, and receive the highest honors. Until this time all heaven was in order, harmony and perfect subjection to the government of God.{1SG 17.1}[1]
属灵的恩赐-卷一-第2章
反抗上帝的命令和旨意乃是最大的罪。全天庭似乎都处于混乱之中。天使们排列成群,有一位司令天使作首领。所有的天使都哄动起来。撒但既野心勃勃地要高抬自己,不愿意顺服耶稣的权威,就含沙射影地反对上帝的政权。有些天使同情了撒但,与他一同叛乱,有些天使则竭力为上帝在赐权柄给祂儿子的事上显出的尊荣和智慧争辩。在天使中就起了争论。撒但和他的同情者们力争改变上帝的政权。他们想要窥视祂不可测度的智慧,探知祂高举耶稣并赋予祂这种无限的能力和统帅权的目的何在。他们反抗圣子的权威。天庭的全军都被召集到天父的面前,以便对每一案情作出决定。就在那里决定了撒但应该被赶出天庭,与他一同造反的所有天使都该被赶出去。天上就起了争战。众天使都参加了战斗;撒但想要打败上帝的儿子和那些顺服祂旨意的天使。但是善良而忠诚的天使们得胜了,撒但和他的跟从者们则被赶出了天庭。{1SG 17.2}[2]
属灵的恩赐-卷一-第2章
It was the highest sin to rebel against the order and will of God. All heaven seemed in commotion. The angels were marshaled in companies with a commanding angel at their head. All the angels were astir. Satan was insinuating against the government of God, ambitious to exalt himself, and unwilling to submit?to the authority of Jesus. Some of the angels sympathized with Satan in his rebellion, and others strongly contended for the honor and wisdom of God in giving authority to his Son. And there was contention with the angels. Satan and his affected ones, who were striving to reform the government of God, wished to look into his unsearchable wisdom to ascertain his purpose in exalting Jesus, and endowing him with such unlimited power and command. They rebelled against the authority of the Son of God, and all the angels were summoned to appear before the Father, to have their cases decided. And it was decided that Satan should be expelled from heaven, and that the angels, all who joined with Satan in the rebellion, should be turned out with him. Then there was war in heaven. Angels were engaged in the battle; Satan wished to conquer the Son of God, and those who were submissive to his will. But the good and true angels prevailed, and Satan, with his followers, was driven from heaven.{1SG 17.2}[2]
属灵的恩赐-卷一-第2章
撒但和与他一同堕落的天使被逐出天庭之后,他既认识到自己永远失去了天国的纯洁和荣耀,就后悔了,想要恢复在天庭的地位。他愿意担任他本来的职位,也愿意接受可能分派给他的任何职位。但是不行;天庭不可处于危险的境地。要是他复职的话,全天庭都会受损;因为罪是从他发起的,而反叛的种子还在他里面。撒但已经有了追随者,那些同情他的天使与他一同叛乱了。他和跟从他的天使们后悔了、哭了,恳求重得上帝的恩眷。但是不行,他们的罪,他们的仇恨,他们的猜忌和嫉妒是那么大,以致上帝不能将之涂抹。他们的罪恶必须接受最终的惩罚。{1SG 18.1}[3]
属灵的恩赐-卷一-第2章
After Satan was shut out of heaven, with those who fell with him, he realized that he had lost all the purity and glory of heaven forever. Then he repented and wished to be reinstated again in heaven. He was willing to take his proper place, or any place that might be assigned him. But no, heaven must not be placed in jeopardy. All heaven might be marred should he be taken back; for sin originated with him,and the seeds of rebellion were within him. Satan had obtained followers, those who sympathized with him in his rebellion. He and his followers repented, wept and implored to be taken back into the favor of God. But no, their sin, their hate, their envy and jealousy, had been so great that God could not blot it out. It must remain to receive its final punishment.{1SG 18.1}[3]
属灵的恩赐-卷一-第2章
当撒但开始充分意识到自己不可能再重新得到上帝的恩眷时,他的恶意和仇恨就开始显明了。他与他的使者们商议并制定了一个计划,仍要反对上帝的政权。当亚当和夏娃被安置在美丽的伊甸园中时,撒但正在制定毁灭他们的计划。他与他的恶使者们进行了磋商。如果这对幸福的夫妇顺从上帝,他们的幸福就决不会被剥夺。撒但不能在他们身上运用他的权能,除非他们先违背上帝,丧失祂的眷爱。所以必须设计一个方案使他们不顺从上帝,招致上帝的不悦,并使他们更直接地受撒但及其使者的影响。于是决定由撒但假扮成另一种样子,对人表现出关心。他必须影射上帝并不真诚坦荡,并引人怀疑上帝言不由衷;接下来,他必须激起他们的好奇心,诱导他们窥探上帝神秘莫测的计划——撒但曾犯下这种罪,并推断祂就分别善恶树对他们作出限制的原因。{1SG 19.1}[4]
属灵的恩赐-卷一-第2章
When Satan became fully conscious that there was no possibility of his being brought again into favor with God, then his malice and hatred began to be manifest. He consulted with his angels, and a plan was laid to still work against God’s government. When Adam and Eve were placed in the beautiful garden, Satan was laying plans to destroy them. A consultation was held with his evil angels. In no way could this happy couple be deprived of their happiness if they obeyed God. Satan could not exercise his power upon them unless they should first disobey God, and forfeit his favor. They must devise some plan to lead them to disobedience that they might incur God’s frown, and be brought under the more direct influence of Satan and his angels. It was decided that Satan should assume another form, and manifest an interest for man. He must insinuate against God’s truthfulness, create doubt whether God did mean as he said, next, excite their curiosity, and lead them to pry into the unsearchable plans of God, which Satan had been guilty of, and reason as to the cause of his restrictions in regard to the tree of knowledge.{1SG 19.1}[4]
