The sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand from September 11, 2001, unto the soon coming Sunday law in the United States is the prophetic period where every vision of God’s Word is fulfilled in the last days.
自2001年9月11号起,直到美国将要快临个主日法令为止,一十四万四千人受印个辰光,乃是末后日子里上帝圣言一切异象尽都应验个预言时期。
Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. Ezekiel 12:23.
所以侬要对伊拉讲,主耶和华个话是介样讲个:我必使此个俗语止息,以后喺以色列中,人弗再拿伊当俗语来讲;侬却要对伊拉讲:日子近了,各样异象个应验也近了。以西结书 12:23
In that line, the third angel arrives again, and in so doing, it is represented by the arrival of the third angel on October 22, 1844, unto the rebellion of 1863. The rebellion of 1863 was represented by the first rebellion of ancient Israel at Kadesh, and therefore is represented by the whole history from the Red Sea crossing until the first Kadesh rebellion. The first Kadesh rebellion typified the second Kadesh rebellion, and thus the line from the death of Aaron to the second Kadesh rebellion is repeated in the line of the sealing.
迭條線裡,第三位天使重新來到;就此而言,其所表徵者,乃係第三位天使自 1844 年 10 月 22 日降臨,直到 1863 年叛逆。1863 年個叛逆,乃由古代以色列喺加低斯个第一次叛逆所預表;故此,也就由自過紅海直到加低斯第一次叛逆个全部歷史來表徵。加低斯第一次叛逆,預表加低斯第二次叛逆;因此,自亞倫之死直到加低斯第二次叛逆个條線,也喺受印个條線當中重複出現。
It is repeated in the history of the Millerites, from 1840 unto 1844, which was typified by Christ’s baptism unto the cross, which also represented the history of the cross to the stoning of Stephen. Line upon line, each of the ancient prophets spoke about this period of time more than the days in which they lived.
箇段歷史喺米勒派个經歷裏向1840年到1844年一再重複;伊所預表个,係基督從受浸到十字架个歷史;同時也表明從十字架到司提反被石頭打死个歷史。一行復一行,古時各位先知所講論个,關於箇段時期,倒比佢拉自家所生活个日子還要多。
“Each of the ancient prophets spoke less for their own time than for ours, so that their prophesying is in force for us. ‘Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.’ 1 Corinthians 10:11. ‘Not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.’ 1 Peter 1:12. . . .
「逐位古代个先知,侪弗是为着伊拉自家个时代讲预言,倒是更加为着阿拉个时代讲;故此伊拉个预言,对阿拉仍旧生效。『从前发生勒伊拉身浪个这一切事,都是做鉴戒个样板;并且记载下来,是为着警戒阿拉这等末世临到个人。』哥林多前书 10:11。『伊拉得着启示,晓得伊拉所服事个,弗是为伊拉自家,乃是为阿拉;这一切事,如今已经借着那些靠从天浪差下来个圣灵,向侬传福音个人,报告拨侬晓得;连天使也切望详细察看这一切事。』彼得前书 1:12……」
“The Bible has accumulated and bound up together its treasures for this last generation. All the great events and solemn transactions of Old Testament history have been, and are, repeating themselves in the church in these last days.” Selected Messages, book 3, 338, 339.
《聖經》已為末後箇一代積聚並綰結起佢一切寶藏。舊約歷史中一切重大事件並莊嚴作為,曾經喺發生,也正喺末後日子个教會當中重演。——《信息選粹》卷三,338、339。
The “last generation” is Peter’s chosen generation, which is the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and they are chosen from September 11, 2001 unto the soon-coming Sunday law, where they are then lifted up as an ensign. “All,” not some, but “all the great events and solemn transactions” of God’s Word, are “repeating themselves” in the “last generation” of “the church” of the “last days.” In the line of the sealing, all the books of the Bible meet and end.
「末後一代」就是彼得所講个「蒙揀選个世代」,也就是十四萬四千人;𠵴拉是對2001年9月11號起,一直到快要來臨个星期日法令之間被揀選个,接下來就被高舉做一面旌旗。「所有」,弗是有些,乃是「上帝聖言裡一切重大个事件同莊嚴个行動」,都在「末日」之「教會」个「末後一代」當中「重演」。「在印記个脈絡裡」,聖經一切書卷都在此相會,也在此終結。
“In the Revelation all the books of the Bible meet and end. Here is the complement of the book of Daniel. One is a prophecy; the other a revelation. The book that was sealed is not the Revelation, but that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days. The angel commanded, ‘But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end.’ Daniel 12:4.” Acts of the Apostles, 585.
「佇《啟示錄》裡,聖經一切冊卷攏相會並告終。此處乃《但以理書》个補足。一者是預言;另一者是啟示。彼本受封个冊並弗是《啟示錄》,乃是《但以理》預言中關乎末後日子个彼一部分。天使曾吩咐講:『但以理啊,儂著隱藏遮些話,封閉此書,直到末時。』但以理書 12:4。」《使徒行述》,585。
The “portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days,” that was unsealed, is the visions given to Daniel by the two great rivers of Shinar, the Ulai and the Hiddekel. Those visions represent Daniel chapter eight, verses thirteen and fourteen, and chapter eleven verses forty through forty-five. The sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is the history where Christ, as the heavenly High Priest, eternally seals the chosen of the final generation into a relationship consisting of divine and human. Verse forty of Daniel eleven, identifies the relationship of the dragon, the beast and false prophet who together are now leading the world to Armageddon, as represented by the history of the horn of Republicanism on the earth beast that rules as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy during the history of verse forty. Verse forty also identifies the separation of the wise and foolish that defines the history of the horn of Protestantism in the same history, beginning in 1798 unto the soon-coming Sunday law.
《但以理預言當中「關乎末後日子个部分」》,即所開封个,乃是賜畀但以理由示拿兩條大河——烏萊河同希底結河——邊个異象。該些異象所表明者,乃《但以理書》第八章十三、十四節,以及第十一章四十至四十五節。一十四萬四千人个印封時期,乃是基督以天上大祭司个身分,將末後一代所揀選个人,永遠印封於一種由神性同人性所構成之關係个歷史。《但以理書》第十一章第四十節,指出龍、獸同假先知之關係;彼等如今聯合領導世界走向哈米吉多頓。此關係,係由地獸身上共和主義之角个歷史所表徵;該地獸於第四十節个歷史當中,作為《聖經》預言中第六個國度而統治。第四十節亦指出智慧个同愚拙个分離;此分離界定了同一段歷史當中新教主義之角个歷史,自一七九八年起,直到將臨个星期日法案。
All “the books of the Bible” “meet and end” in the book of Revelation, and when they meet, the book of Revelation “complements” the book of Daniel, and the word “complement” means to bring to perfection. In the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, as represented in the book of Revelation, the prophecies of Daniel that were unsealed in the last days are brought to perfection, when they are brought together line upon line, over the line of history represented in chapter eighteen of Revelation, that begins with the voice in verses one through three, and ends with the second voice of verse four.
一切「聖經諸卷」皆在《啟示錄》裡「相會並告終」;及其相會之時,《啟示錄》便「補足」《但以理書》,而「補足」一詞,意卽使之臻於完全。 在《啟示錄》所表明个十四萬四千人受印个時辰裡,《但以理書》那些在末後日子裡被開啟个預言,當佢等一線一線相連,安放於《啟示錄》第十八章所表明个歷史線上時,便得以臻於完全;此歷史線起自第一至第三節个聲音,終於第四節个第二個聲音。
The perfection of the prophetic vision represented by the Hiddekel River in the book of Daniel, represents the perfection of the external vision of the enemies of God’s people who trample down the sanctuary and host. The perfection of the prophetic vision represented by the Ulai River in the book of Daniel, represents the perfection of the internal vision of Christ appearing within His people when He accomplishes the covenant promise of joining divinity with humanity upon the final chosen generation.
《但以理书》里向希底结河所表明个预言异象个完全,表明上帝子民个仇敌践踏圣所同天军辰光,彼外在异象个完全。《但以理书》里向乌莱河所表明个预言异象个完全,表明基督显现勒伊子民里向个内在异象个完全;当伊勒末后蒙拣选个世代身上成就将神性同人性联合起来个圣约应许辰光,便是如此。
The history of the sealing that focuses upon the Republican horn of the earth beast, begins with the earth beast speaking the Patriot Act in 2001, and ends with the speaking that was represented by the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, which in Revelation chapter thirteen, are represented as the earth beast speaking as a dragon. The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, represent the end of a line that began with the speaking of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. In the middle of that period of prophetic history, the earth beast spoke the Constitution into effect in 1789.
聚焦於地獸共和黨角个印記歷史,起首於二〇〇一年地獸宣講《愛國者法案》,終結於一七九八年《外僑法》同《煽動叛亂法》所表明个宣講;該等宣講,佇《啟示錄》第十三章裡,乃係表現做地獸像龍恁般發言。一七九八年个《外僑法》同《煽動叛亂法》,代表一條線个終點;該條線乃起首於一七七六年《獨立宣言》个宣講。佇該段預言歷史个當中,地獸佇一七八九年宣講憲法,使之生效。
The speaking of 1776, aligns with the speaking of the Patriot Act, and the Alien and Sedition Acts represent the soon coming Sunday law in the United States. In the middle of that history there should be another speaking which aligns with 1789. The first voice of Revelation eighteen, verses one through three, is plainly identified as arriving when the great buildings of New York City were thrown down. The second voice of verse four, is also plainly identified as the soon-coming Sunday law. Both of those voices are divine voices, for they are both the voice of the angel who is to lighten the earth with His glory, who Sister White identifies as the first angel of Revelation fourteen. Jesus was the first angel, and He always illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning, so He is also the third angel, who is the angel that lightens the earth with His glory.
一七七六年个发声,搭搭《爱国者法案》个发声相一致;《外国人法》搭《惩治叛乱法》所预表个,乃是阿美利加快要来到个星期日法。勒段历史个当中,还该当有另外一番发声,搭一七八九年相对应。《启示录》十八章一至三节个头一道声音,分明指出是勒纽约城个高大楼宇被推倒个辰光来到个。第四节个第二道声音,也同样分明指出,就是那快要来到个星期日法。这两道声音侪是神圣个声音,因为伊拉侪是那位要用伊个荣耀照亮全地之天使个声音;怀姐妹指出,这位天使就是《启示录》十四章个头一位天使。耶稣就是头一位天使;伊总是用开头来说明一件事体个结局,所以伊也就是第三位天使,就是那位用伊个荣耀照亮全地个天使。
The first angel is also portrayed in Revelation chapter ten, as descending on August 11, 1840, thus typifying the descent of the angel on September 11, 2001. Sister White directly states that the angel who descended in chapter ten, was “no less a personage than Jesus Christ.” The first and second voices of Revelation eighteen, are the voice of Christ. That history is typified by 1776, 1789 and 1798, when the earth beast spoke three times. The voice of Christ that speaks in between the two voices of Revelation eighteen, is when He speaks in Revelation chapter eleven.
头一个天使,也曾喺《启示录》第十章里向人显明,系喺1840年8月11号降临个,因此预表2001年9月11号个天使降临。怀爱伦姊妹直接指出,第十章里所降下个天使,“正是耶稣基督,绝非旁人。”《启示录》第十八章个头一个同第二个声音,乃是基督个声音。此段历史,由1776、1789同1798所预表;喺该时,地兽曾讲过三趟。《启示录》第十八章两道声音当中所发个基督之声,就是伊喺《启示录》第十一章里发言个时候。
And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. Revelation 11:11, 12.
三日半以后,出于上帝个生命之灵进入伊拉里向,伊拉就立勒自家脚根浪;望见伊拉个人,心里起勒大惧怕。伊拉又听见有大声音从天浪向伊拉讲:「到此地来。」伊拉就驾云升到天浪去;伊拉个仇敌也望见勒伊拉。《启示录》11:11, 12。
In July of 2023, a voice from heaven (the voice of Christ) began raising up the two witnesses who had been slain in the streets by the atheistic dragon from the bottomless pit. At that point, the issues associated with the Constitution of the United States became a prophetic subject, for at the next voice, represented by 1798, the Constitution will be fully overthrown. Each of the three waymarks of 1776, 1789 and 1798, align with the three divine voices that are marked as September 11, 2001, July 2023, and the soon coming Sunday law.
2023年7月,從天上來个聲音(基督个聲音)開始興起那兩個見證人;佢拉曾經俾無底坑裡向來个無神論之龍殺害,倒勒街路浪。到該辰光,牽連著美利堅合眾國憲法个諸般問題,就成為一個預言性个題目;因為到下一个聲音,就是1798所表明个辰光,憲法將要完全被推翻。1776、1789同1798者三個路標,每一個都對應著三個神聖个聲音,就是標記為2001年9月11號、2023年7月,以及即將來到个星期日法令。
Those three steps align with three steps of the third woe, represented by September 11, 2001, October 7, 2023 and the soon coming Sunday law when the seventh trumpet, which is the third Woe, suddenly arrives in the hour of the “great earthquake”. In 2023, the transition of both horns of the earth beast began, as represented by the secret image dream of Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in chapter two, was a secret that only God could reveal, and He revealed it to those who had passed the first test represented in chapter one of Daniel.
迭三步搭配第三樣災禍个三步,分别由2001年9月11日、2023年10月7日,以及将要快到个礼拜日法所表明;到辰光第七枝号筒——也就是第三樣災禍——会㑚“地大震動”个时辰忽然来到。到2023年,地上兽两个角个转变开始了,正如尼布甲尼撒个隐密像梦所表明个一样。尼布甲尼撒㱚《但以理书》第二章里个梦,原是一个只有上帝能启示个隐密;伊也曾向迭些已经通过《但以理书》第一章所表明个头一场试验个人启示了迭个隐密。
Daniel and the three worthies in chapter one who passed the first test, were those who chose to eat the heavenly food and reject the diet of Babylon. They are those represented by John in Revelation chapter ten, who take the little book out of the angel’s hand, who is no less a personage than Jesus Christ, and eat the message contained therein. They are those in John chapter six, who chose to eat the flesh and drink the blood of the heavenly manna, that the other class rejected and who then turned away from Christ and walked no more with Him forever, in chapter SIX, verse SIXTY-SIX.
《但以理》第一章里向头一道试炼得胜个但以理搭伊三位同伴,乃是拣选吃属天个粮食、弃绝巴比伦饮食个人。伊拉就像《启示录》第十章里约翰所表明个那班人,从天使个手里接过小书卷来;而个天使所表明个,弗是别个,就是耶稣基督自家;伊拉并且吃进其中所载个信息。伊拉也就是《约翰福音》第六章里个那班人,拣选吃属天吗哪个肉、喝伊个血;另有一班人弃绝了此道,于是离开基督,从此永远弗再搭伊同行,正如第六章第六十六节所记个。
In that line Christ was teaching in Galilee, which means “a hinge” or “a turning point”. There He presented the message of the heavenly manna, that His disciples were to eat, just as John had eaten in Revelation chapter ten, and as Ezekiel had eaten in chapter three, and Jeremiah had eaten in chapter fifteen. The history represented by John in Revelation chapter ten, when he ate the little book, represented the history of the Millerites from 1840 to 1844, but it more directly represented the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand than the history of the Millerites. This is apparent in the chapter by the directions John was given when told to eat the little book.
迭條線裡,基督勒加利利施教;「加利利」个意思,是「鉸鏈」抑或「轉捩點」。勒該搭,伊提出天上嗎哪个信息,伊个門徒是應當喫个,正如約翰勒《啟示錄》第十章所喫个一樣,也正如以西結勒第三章所喫个,並耶利米勒第十五章所喫个一樣。《啟示錄》第十章裡約翰喫小書卷所表明个歷史,乃是表明一八四〇年至一八四四年間米勒派个歷史;毋過,伊更直接地表明个,是十四萬四千人受印期間个歷史,過於米勒派个歷史。箇點勒該章裡是明顯个,從約翰奉命去喫小書卷辰光所受个指示,就看得出來。
And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. Revelation 10:9.
我就到天使该搭,帮伊讲:请侬将个小书卷拨我。伊对我讲:拿去,吃脱伊;伊会使侬个肚肠发苦,勿过勒侬嘴里要甜像蜜一样。启示录 10:9
In the verse, John was told in advance of his taking and eating the little book what experience would be produced by the message he ate. The Millerites did not understand the bitter-sweet experiences in advance of their historical fulfillment of John’s symbolism of their line of prophetic history. But the one hundred and forty-four thousand have been told in advance, and are required to know. When John illustrates either the history of the movement of the first angel or the history of the third angel, the message produces two classes of worshippers, and then ends with the bitter disappointment. When Jeremiah ate the little book, he then refused to associate with the “assembly of the mockers.”
阿隻節文裏,約翰喺拿起並喫落嗰本小書以前,預先蒙吩咐曉得:伊所喫个信息將會生發出啥个經歷。米勒派對於彼等按約翰所表號、應驗其預言歷史線之時,所要經歷个苦甜交雜,並弗曾預先明白。獨有一百四十四千人,乃是預先已經得著指示,並且受命必須曉得。約翰無論係表明第一位天使運動个歷史,抑或表明第三位天使个歷史,該信息總要產生兩等敬拜者,然後以苦澀个失望作結。耶利米喫了小書之後,就拒絕與「戲笑者个會」相交。
I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation. Jeremiah 15:17.
我呒没坐勒讥诮者个会中,也呒没欢喜;因着侬个手,我独自一人坐勒;因为侬使我满了义愤。耶利米书 15:17。
When Ezekiel ate the little book, he was told to give the message to the rebels of the house of Israel, who would not listen.
以西結食忒該本小書辰光,伊受吩咐,要將信息傳俾以色列家該悖逆之民;伊拉總弗肯聽從。
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel. . .. But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted. Ezekiel 3:1,7.
伊還對我講:人子啊,儂覓著啥物,就喫啥物;喫仔卷書,去對以色列家講話。……總是以色列家弗肯聽儂,因為伊拉弗肯聽我;因為以色列全家攏是面皮厚、心腸硬。以西結書 3:1,7
When Christ offered the heavenly bread, that was His flesh and His blood, to His home church at Galilee, the class that turned away never walked with Him again, and the fact that this occurred in chapter SIX, verse SIXTY-SIX, identifies that the eating is the first of a three-step testing process, which begins with the descent of the angel. The second test is where the two classes are manifested, whether it be the contrast of Ezekiel with the hard-hearted house of Israel, or the wise and foolish virgins of both the beginning and ending of Adventism, or Jeremiah with the assembly of mockers, or by Daniel and the three worthies in contrast with the wise men of Babylon in chapter two of Daniel.
基督向加利利伊个家乡教会献上天浪个粮,也就是伊个肉并伊个血个辰光,彼一班退去个人就再也弗曾同伊同行;而此事发生勒第六章、第六十六节,正表明了这“吃”乃是一个三步试验过程个头一步;该过程自天使降临开头。第二步试验,就是两等人被显明个所在,无论是以西结同心硬个以色列家相对,还是复临运动开头并结束辰光个聪明童女同愚拙童女相对,还是耶利米同讥诮人个会众相对,抑或但以理同三位忠贞者,与但以理书第二章里巴比伦个哲士形成对照。
In the line of John chapter six, the arrival at Galilee is September 11, 2001. The message to eat the flesh and drink the blood is the history that ultimately leads to the soon-coming Sunday law. “You are what you eat”, as represented by Daniel and the three worthies in chapter one, and in John six, those who chose to eat Christ’s flesh and drink His blood, became the image of what they ate. They became the image of Christ, while the other class that turned and walked no more with Christ manifested the image of the beast. One class was the image of the Creator, the other the image of the creation. John chapter six adds the meaning of “Galilee” to September 11, 2001, for the meaning is “hinge”, thus marking the turning point for the disciples. Would they turn to the heavenly diet or the diet of Babylon? It is at prophetic turning points that Christ manifests the light for the following period, as represented by His descent in 2001, when the earth was lightened with His glory.
照《約翰》第六章个脈絡來看,到加利利个時辰就是二〇〇一年九月十一日。關於食其肉、飲其血个信息,就是最終引到快要來臨个星期日法令个歷史。「人就是伊所吃个物事」,正如《但以理書》第一章裡但以理同三個忠貞者所表明个;而在《約翰》第六章裡,揀選食基督个肉、飲伊个血个人,就成爲伊所吃者个形像。伊拉成爲基督个形像;至於另外一等轉身去、勿再與基督同行个人,所顯明个就是獸个形像。一等是創造主个形像,另外一等是受造之物个形像。《約翰》第六章爲二〇〇一年九月十一日加添了「加利利」个意義,因爲其意義就是「樞紐」,從而標明門徒个轉折點。伊拉是要轉向天上个飲食,還是巴比倫个飲食?正是在預言个轉折點上,基督顯明隨後一段時期个亮光;這由伊在二〇〇一年降臨所表明,當時全地都因伊个榮耀得着光照。
“There are lessons to be learned from the history of the past; and attention is called to these, that all may understand that God works on the same lines now that He ever has done. His hand is seen in His work and among the nations now, just the same as it has been ever since the gospel was first proclaimed to Adam in Eden.
「過去个歷史裡有功課值得人學;而今特特叫人留心這些,為著叫眾人都明白,上帝現今行事个路數,與伊向來所行个,原是一樣。伊个手現今喺伊自家个作為當中,也喺列國之間顯明出來,正如自從福音頭一遭喺伊甸園裡向亞當宣講以來,一向攏是如此。」
“There are periods which are turning points in the history of nations and of the church. In the providence of God, when these different crises arrive, the light for that time is given. If it is received, there is spiritual progress; if it is rejected, spiritual declension and shipwreck follow. The Lord in His word has opened up the aggressive work of the gospel as it has been carried on in the past, and will be in the future, even to the closing conflict, when Satanic agencies will make their last wonderful movement.” Bible Echo, August 26, 1895.
「喺列國同教會个歷史當中,有幾個時期係轉關點。照上帝个攝理,當各樣危機臨到个辰光,應時个亮光就賜下。若是領受,就有靈性个進步;若是拒絕,隨之而來个就是靈性个衰敗同沉淪。主喺伊个聖言裡,已經揭明福音進取个工作,過去是咋樣推行个,將來也要咋樣推行,直到末了个爭戰;到彼時,撒但个權勢要作伊等末一次奇異个大舉動。」《Bible Echo》,1895年8月26日。
God always works upon the same lines of past history, and He never changes. There are “turning points” (Galilee), that are “crises,” and at those “turning points” the “light for that time is given.” The light for the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand was given at the crisis that began on September 11, 2001. If that light “is received, there is spiritual progress; if it is rejected, spiritual declension and shipwreck follow.” The light produces two classes of worshippers. The light that follows the turning point represents the message which produces two classes of worshippers.
上帝总是循着过去历史同样个路线行事,伊从来弗改变。会有“转折点”(加利利),也就是“危机”;而勒些“转折点”辰光,“彼辰光个亮光就赐下来”。关于十四万四千人受印时期个亮光,乃是勒二〇〇一年九月十一号开始个危机当中赐下个。倘使勒亮光“得着领受,就有属灵个长进;倘使遭着拒绝,随后就有属灵个衰退搭失事沉船。”亮光产生两等敬拜个人。转折点以后个亮光,代表会产生两等敬拜个人个信息。
Daniel chapter two illustrates the second test, the test which follows the dietary test of chapter one. In verse one of chapter one of Daniel, Judah had just been conquered by Nebuchadnezzar, who then became the first kingdom of Bible prophecy. It was a turning point in both the history of nations and of the church, it was a great crisis and the light of a dietary test was then given. Daniel and the three worthies passed the test, and then in chapter two, they again represented those who passed the second test. The second test was a test over a secret that no man, not even Nebuchadnezzar knew.
《但以理》第二章表明第二个试验,就是紧接着第一章饮食试验之后个试验。《但以理》第一章第一节里,犹大方被尼布甲尼撒所征服,伊随后就成为《圣经》预言中个第一个国度。此乃列国历史并教会历史个一个转折点,也是一场重大危机;就在彼时,关于饮食试验个亮光被赐下。但以理同三位忠贤通过了此项试验;到了第二章,伊拉又代表了通过第二个试验个人。第二个试验,乃是关于一个奥秘个试验;此奥秘无人晓得,连尼布甲尼撒自家也不晓得。
The symbol of the test was the image of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. It was a life and death test over an image that no one knew. The image identified the kingdoms of Bible prophecy, and in chapters seven and eight of Daniel, the same kingdoms of Daniel two are represented as beasts. Nebuchadnezzar’s test was the test of “the image of the beasts”, that in the last days, occurs during the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
试验个个表号,乃是尼布甲尼撒梦里个像。阿是一个关乎生死个试验,所争个乃是一尊无人晓得其真义个像。迭尊像表明圣经预言里个列国;到但以理书第七章搭第八章,同但以理书第二章所讲个一样列国,又用兽来表明。尼布甲尼撒个试验,就是“兽个像”个试验;迭种试验,到末后个日子里,发生勒十四万四千人受印个时期当中。
In the last days, the formation of the image of the beast is the great test for the people of God, represented by Daniel and the three worthies. It is the test they must pass, before they are sealed, so it is the sealing-testing message that either produces a class that receives the seal of God and reflects the image of God, or a class that receives the seal of the beast, and therefore reflects the image of the beast. In Daniel chapter two the message of the image of the beast was sealed until the history when it became a life and death question. Nebuchadnezzar’s image was understood correctly by the Millerites, but in the history of the sealing a secret truth that is connected with Nebuchadnezzar’s image is unsealed, but only to those who have taken the message that was to be eaten when the turning point arrived.
末後个日子裡,獸个像形成,乃是上帝子民所要經過个重大試驗,預表喺但以理並三個忠信之人身上。迭是佢拉喺受印以前必須通過个試驗,因此,迭一個封印—試驗个信息,要末產生一班領受上帝之印、並反映上帝形像个人;要末產生一班領受獸个印,因此反映獸之像个人。喺《但以理書》第二章裡,關於獸之像个信息曾經被封住,直到歷史進到佢成為生死攸關問題个時候。尼布甲尼撒个像,米勒派曾正確明白;但喺封印个歷史當中,一項與尼布甲尼撒个像相聯繫个隱密真理被開啟,然而祇有對那些喺轉捩點來到之時,已經領受那當食之信息个人,纔得解開。
That food is the latter rain message that began when the angel of Revelation eighteen descended, and the latter rain message is the methodology of line upon line. Without eating that truth, the secret message of the formation of the image of the beast cannot be seen.
該糧食就是自《啟示錄》十八章个天使降落辰光開始个後雨信息,而後雨信息就是「一行加一行」个方法。若弗喫落該真理,就看弗見獸像形成个秘密信息。
Ellen White was “clearly shown, that the image of the beast would be formed before probation closes.” The message of the formation of the image of the beast in Daniel two, represents a formation of the image that would only been seen in the history that followed the “turning point”, when the light would then be given. What is now understood about Nebuchadnezzar’s image is that it did not simply identify the first four kingdoms of Bible prophecy, it identified all eight kingdoms, and that understanding produces a new formation of the image-beast.
以伦·怀特曾“清楚蒙指示,兽像会在恩门关闭之前形成。”《但以理书》第二章中关于兽像形成个信息,表明有一种像个形成,只会在随后个历史里向人显明,也就是在“转折点”之后、届时亮光赐下个辰光所显明个形成。如今对尼布甲尼撒个像所有个理解乃是:伊并非单单指出圣经预言中头四个国度,伊乃是指出全部八个国度;而该种理解就产生出一种新个像—兽个形成。
That truth identifies that the eighth beast, is of the seven, and it further identifies that the United States, who first forms an image of the beast, and thereafter forces the entire world to do the same, will possess the prophetic characteristic of the beast which it forms an image of. That image includes that it is the eighth, that is of the seven, and in the history of the three voices of Christ, it is marking the turning point of September 11, 2001, the voice of 2023 calling the dead, dry bones of the two witnesses to their feet, and the voice of the call out of Babylon.
該項真理表明:第八个兽乃是出于那七个;并且进一步表明,美利坚合众国先造出兽个像,随后又强迫全世界照样去行,因此伊必带有伊所造之彼兽个预言性特征。该像包括:伊是第八个,亦是出于那七个;并且在基督三重声音个历史当中,伊标志着二〇〇一年九月十一日个转折点、二〇二三年呼召两个见证人死而枯干之骨站起来个声音,以及那从巴比伦出来个呼声。
The voice of 2023 is the voice that identifies the secret of Nebuchadnezzar’s image and when it speaks.
二〇二三年个声,是认明尼布甲尼撒像之奥祕并其何时发言个声。
September 11, 2001 represents the period that begins there, and ends on July 18, 2020. The period of the second voice from chapter eleven, represents the period from July 18, 2020, unto the third voice at the soon-coming Sunday law. The second period that begins on July 18, 2020, includes the waymark of November 3, 2020, and the waymark of January 6, 2021, when those that had slain the two witnesses and began to rejoice and send gifts, and it includes July, 2023, when the voice in the wilderness began to sound the warning of the seventh trumpet.
2001年9月11日,表明其间开始于该时,终于2020年7月18日。第十一章里向个第二个声音,表明自2020年7月18日起,一直到将近临到个星期日法令时个第三个声音之间个时期。第二个时期开始于2020年7月18日,包涵2020年11月3日个路标,也包涵2021年1月6日个路标;其时,曾经杀害两位见证人个那些人开始欢喜,并互相馈送礼物;也包涵2023年7月,其时旷野里个声音开始发出第七号筒个警告。

阿拉将会勒下一篇文章里继续迭个研究。
“Upon the banks of the river Chebar, Ezekiel beheld a whirlwind seeming to come from the north, ‘a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber.’ A number of wheels, intersecting one another, were moved by four living beings. High above all these ‘was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.’ ‘And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings.’ Ezekiel 1:4, 26; 10:8. The wheels were so complicated in arrangement that at first sight they appeared to be in confusion; but they moved in perfect harmony. Heavenly beings, sustained and guided by the hand beneath the wings of the cherubim, were impelling these wheels; above them, upon the sapphire throne, was the Eternal One; and round about the throne a rainbow, the emblem of divine mercy.
“㽘迦巴河边,伊西结看见一阵旋风,像是自北方而来,‘有一大云,并有火焰卷裹其间,四围有光辉;从其中间显出来的,像光耀的琥珀之色。’有若干轮子彼此交错,由四个活物推动。高出这一切之上,‘有宝座的形像,看来仿佛蓝宝石;在宝座形像以上,又有一位的形状,看来像人的样式坐在其上。’‘在基路伯中显出有人的手的形状,在其翅膀以下。’以西结书 1:4, 26;10:8。诸轮的安排极其复杂,初看似乎杂乱无序;然而其运行却全然和谐。天上的生灵,在基路伯翅膀以下那只手的扶持与引导之下,推动这些轮子;在其上方,蓝宝石的宝座之上,乃是那永恒者;宝座四围有虹,乃是上帝慈怜的表记。 ”
“As the wheel like complications were under the guidance of the hand beneath the wings of the cherubim, so the complicated play of human events is under divine control. Amidst the strife and tumult of nations, He that sitteth above the cherubim still guides the affairs of the earth.
“正如其些轮子般错综复杂个机括,乃系在基路伯翅膀底下只手个引导之中;照样,人间万事纷纭交错个演变,也都在神圣个掌管之下。列国争竞扰攘、喧腾纷乱之中,坐在基路伯以上个主,仍旧引导尘世个事务。 ”
“The history of nations that one after another have occupied their allotted time and place, unconsciously witnessing to the truth of which they themselves knew not the meaning, speaks to us. To every nation and to every individual of today God has assigned a place in His great plan. Today men and nations are being measured by the plummet in the hand of Him who makes no mistake. All are by their own choice deciding their destiny, and God is overruling all for the accomplishment of His purposes.
“一國接一國、喫其所分派个時辰搭所在个列國歷史,雖然自家並弗曉得所見證个真理究竟是啥个意思,卻對𠊎儂講話。對今朝每一個國家、每一個人, 神儕喺伊宏大計畫裡向伊儂派定了所在。今朝,世人搭列國正喺那一位決弗會差誤者手裡个準繩之下受量度。眾人攏照自家个揀選決定伊儂个命運;而 神掌管一切,為著成就伊个旨意。”
“The history which the great I AM has marked out in His word, uniting link after link in the prophetic chain, from eternity in the past to eternity in the future, tells us where we are today in the procession of the ages, and what may be expected in the time to come. All that prophecy has foretold as coming to pass, until the present time, has been traced on the pages of history, and we may be assured that all which is yet to come will be fulfilled in its order.” Education, 177, 178.
「偉大个『我是自有永有者』喺伊个聖言裡所標明个歷史,將預言个鏈條一環連一環,對過去个永恆直到將來个永恆,告訴我儕今朝喺歷代進程當中所處个所在,並且將來个時辰有啥个事可望發生。凡預言所預告必要成就个事,直到目前為止,攏已經喺歷史个篇頁上留下了跡痕;我儕也通確信,一切尚未來到个事,攏要按其次序得著應驗。」《教育論》,177、178。
