Ezekiel is a priest during the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. In chapter one Ezekiel is taken into the sanctuary.
以西结係喺十四万四千人受印个时期做祭司。第一章里，以西结拨带进圣所。
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity, The word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.
到三十年，四月初五日，我勒迦巴鲁河边同被掳个辰光，天开了，我看见上帝个异象。初五日，正是约雅斤王被掳第五年，耶和华个话明明白白临到祭司布西个儿子以西结；彼时勒迦勒底人之地、迦巴鲁河边，耶和华个手按勒伊身上。
And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
我望出去，看见有一阵旋风从北方来，一大片云，同火自相缠卷，四围有光辉；从火当中又显出好像光亮铜金个颜色。再从其中出来四个活物个形像。伊拉个样子是介：有个人个形像。各各有四张脸面，各各有四只翅膀。伊拉个脚是直个脚，脚掌像牛犊脚掌个样子，闪烁像磨亮个铜。伊拉四边个翅膀下面都有人的手；伊拉四个都有脸面同翅膀。伊拉个翅膀彼此相接；行走个辰光并勿转身，各各一直向前行。论到伊拉脸面个形像，四个个右边都有人的脸同狮子个脸；左边四个都有牛个脸；四个也都有鹰个脸。伊拉个脸面就是介样；伊拉个翅膀向上展开，各各有两只翅膀彼此相接，还有两只遮盖身体。
And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
伊拉一只只向前头直行；灵要到啥地方去，伊拉就到啥地方去；伊拉行个辰光，并弗转身。至于该些活物个形状，伊拉个样子像烧着个火炭，又像火把个样子；火在活物当中上上下下，来来去去；该火明亮，火里头还发出闪电。活物奔跑来回，好像闪电一闪个样子。 我看活物个辰光，看哪，活物旁边个地上有一只轮子，对着伊拉四个脸。轮子个样子同伊拉个作法，好像水苍玉个颜色；四只轮子都一个样式；伊拉个样子同伊拉个结构，好像轮中套轮。轮子行个辰光，向四面都能行；行个辰光，并弗转向。至于轮辋，高得叫人害怕；四只轮辋周围都满了眼睛。 活物行个辰光，轮子也在旁边同走；活物从地上升起个辰光，轮子也升起。灵要到啥地方去，伊拉就到啥地方去；伊拉个灵也要到该地方去；轮子都随着伊拉升起，因为活物个灵就在轮子里。
When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings. And above the firmament that was over their heads 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 I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. Ezekiel 1:1–28.
伊末嗰些行，搿些也行；伊末嗰些立定，搿些也立定；伊末嗰些从地浪升起，轮也对着伊末一淘升起，因为活物个灵在轮中。活物头顶浪穹苍个形像，好像可畏个水晶个颜色，张开在伊末头顶之上。穹苍之下，伊末个翅膀直伸，彼此相向；每一个有两只遮身这边，每一个也有两只遮身嗰边。伊末行走个辰光，我听见伊末翅膀个响声，好像大水个响声，像全能者个声音，像喧哗个声音，又像军队个响声；伊末立定个辰光，就垂下翅膀。伊末立定、垂下翅膀个辰光，在伊末头顶以上个穹苍之中有声音。伊末头顶以上个穹苍之上，有宝座个形像，看上去像蓝宝石；在宝座个形像以上，又有一位个形像，看上去好像人个样子，在宝座之上。我看见有一种像光耀金精个颜色，又像火个样子包围在其中；从伊腰以上，看上去有火个样子，周围都有光辉；从伊腰以下，我也看见有火个样子，周围也有光辉。周围个光辉个样子，好像落雨天云中彩虹个样子。搿就是耶和华荣耀形像个显现。我一看见，就俯伏在地，也听见有一位说话个声音。以西结书 1:1–28。
“Ezekiel, the mourning exile prophet, in the land of the Chaldeans, was given a vision teaching the same lesson of faith in the mighty God of Israel. As he was upon the banks of the river Chebar, a whirlwind seemed 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 of strange appearance, intersecting one another, were moved by four living creatures. 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.’ ‘As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.’ ‘And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man’s hand under their wings.’
“以西结，个哀哭流亡个先知，勒迦勒底人之地，蒙赐异象，教导同样个功课，就是要信靠以色列大能个上帝。当伊立勒迦巴鲁河边个辰光，看见仿佛有旋风从北方来，‘有一朵大云，有火在其中旋绕，四围有光辉；从其中间显出好像光耀个精金。’又有若干样貌奇异、彼此交错个轮子，受四个活物推动。勒这一切之上高高个所在，有‘宝座个形像，看去像蓝宝石个样子；勒宝座个形像以上，又有仿佛人形个显现，坐勒其上。’‘至于活物个形像，伊拉个样貌好像炽燃个火炭，又好像火把个样子；火勒活物中间上去下来；其火明亮，从火中发出闪电。’‘基路伯个中间，还显出人手个形状，勒伊拉个翅膀底下。’”
“There were wheels within wheels in an arrangement so complicated that at first sight they appeared to Ezekiel to be all in confusion. But when they moved, it was with beautiful exactness and in perfect harmony. Heavenly beings were impelling these wheels, and, above all, upon the glorious sapphire throne, was the Eternal One; while round about the throne was the encircling rainbow, emblem of grace and love. Overpowered by the terrible glory of the scene, Ezekiel fell upon his face, when a voice bade him arise and hear the word of the Lord. Then there was given him a message of warning for Israel.” Testimonies, 751.
“有轮子套勒轮子里向，安排交关复杂，起先一眼望去，㑚叫以西结看得像是一切侪混乱了。弗过，等伊拉动起来个辰光，动作却端正美好，丝毫弗差，且完全和谐。天上个活物推动此些轮子；并且，尤其勒荣耀个蓝宝石宝座浪，坐着永恒个主；宝座四围有环绕个虹，做恩典搭慈爱个表记。以西结给此景象可畏个荣光压倒了，就扑倒勒地；个辰光，有声音吩咐伊起来，听耶和华个话。随后，就有一篇警告以色列个信息赐给伊。”《证言》，751。
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Isaiah 6:1–8.
乌西雅王崩个年辰，我看见主坐勒宝座浪，崇高又被高举，伊个衣摆充满圣殿。撒拉弗侪立勒伊上头；逐个侪有六只翅膀：用两只遮面，用两只遮脚，用两只飞。彼个向此个呼叫，说：圣哉！圣哉！圣哉！万军之耶和华；遍地侪满了伊个荣耀。因呼喊者个声音，门槛根基震动，殿里充满了烟雾。 我就说：祸哉我！我灭亡了；因为我是嘴唇勿洁净个人，又住勒嘴唇勿洁净个百姓当中；因为我个眼睛看见了大君王，万军之耶和华。随后有一个撒拉弗飞到我这里，手里拿着红炭，是用火剪从坛浪取下来个；伊拿伊沾我个口，说：看啊，这个已经沾着侬个嘴唇；侬个罪孽便除掉了，侬个罪过也得了洁净。 我又听见主个声音说：我好差遣哪个？哪个肯替我众人去呢？我就说：我勒此地，请差遣我。以赛亚书 6:1–8。
“This vision was given to Ezekiel at a time when his mind was filled with gloomy forebodings. He saw the land of his fathers lying desolate. The city that was once full of people was no longer inhabited. The voice of mirth and the song of praise were no more heard within her walls. The prophet himself was a stranger in a strange land, where boundless ambition and savage cruelty reigned supreme. That which he saw and heard of human tyranny and wrong distressed his soul, and he mourned bitterly day and night. But the wonderful symbols presented before him beside the river Chebar revealed an overruling power mightier than that of earthly rulers. Above the proud and cruel monarchs of Assyria and Babylon the God of mercy and truth was enthroned.
“𠲎个异象，系上帝拨以西结个辰光赐拨伊个；其辰光，伊心里充满了阴惨个预感。伊看见伊列祖个地荒凉撂勒。向来人烟稠密个城，已经呒没啥人居住。欢笑个声音搭赞美个歌声，墙垣里向也再听勿着。先知自家也做客勒异乡；勒迭搭，无边个野心搭凶残个暴虐执掌权柄。伊所看见、所听见个人间强暴搭不义，叫伊心灵忧伤；伊日日夜夜痛苦悲哭。弗过，勒基巴河边摆勒伊面前个奇妙表号，启示出一种统辖一切个权能，比地上掌权者个权势还要大。高过亚述搭巴比伦骄傲残酷个君王，施怜悯搭真实个上帝坐宝座掌权。”
“The wheellike complications that appeared to the prophet to be involved in such confusion were under the guidance of an infinite hand. The Spirit of God, revealed to him as moving and directing these wheels, brought harmony out of confusion; so the whole world was under His control. Myriads of glorified beings were ready at His word to overrule the power and policy of evil men, and bring good to His faithful ones.
先知看起来卷勒介许多纷乱里向转轮一样个复杂情形，侪受着一只无限个手个引导。上帝个灵向伊面前显明，为推动并指挥介些转轮个，弗和谐从纷乱中带出来；阿是乎，普天下侪勒伊个掌管之下。千万荣耀化个生灵随时听候伊个命令，能制伏恶人个权势搭计谋，并为伊忠心个人带来益处。
“In like manner, when God was about to open to the beloved John the history of the church for future ages, He gave him an assurance of the Saviour’s interest and care for His people by revealing to him ‘One like unto the Son of man,’ walking among the candlesticks, which symbolized the seven churches. While John was shown the last great struggles of the church with earthly powers, he was also permitted to behold the final victory and deliverance of the faithful. He saw the church brought into deadly conflict with the beast and his image, and the worship of that beast enforced on pain of death. But looking beyond the smoke and din of the battle, he beheld a company upon Mount Zion with the Lamb, having, instead of the mark of the beast, the ‘Father’s name written in their foreheads.’ And again he saw ‘them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God’ and singing the song of Moses and the Lamb.
“照样个辰光，上帝快要向所亲爱个约翰启示教会将来世代个历史个辰光，借着显现一个‘好像人子个’，行走勒灯台当中，来叫伊确信救主对自家百姓个关切搭看顾；该个灯台，就是象征七个教会。约翰望见教会同地上权势末后个大争战个同时，也蒙准许得见忠信之人最后个得胜搭蒙拯救。伊望见教会拨兽搭伊个像带进致命个冲突里向，且对该兽个敬拜也勒死亡个威吓之下受着强迫。只是伊越过战场个烟雾搭喧嚣望出去，就望见一班人同羔羊立勒锡安山浪，伊拉额角浪写个勿是兽个印记，乃是‘父个名’。再者，伊又望见‘胜了兽、兽个像、兽个印记，并伊名个数目个’人，‘立勒玻璃海浪，拿着上帝个琴’，唱摩西个歌搭羔羊个歌。”
“These lessons are for our benefit. We need to stay our faith upon God, for there is just before us a time that will try men’s souls. Christ, upon the Mount of Olives, rehearsed the fearful judgments that were to precede His second coming: ‘Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars.’ ‘Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.’ While these prophecies received a partial fulfillment at the destruction of Jerusalem, they have a more direct application to the last days.
“迭眼教训是为着我伲个益处。阿拉需要把信心稳稳当当地安置勒上帝身浪，因为摆勒阿拉前头，正有一段辰光要试炼人个心灵。基督勒橄榄山浪，重述了伊第二次降临以前所要先来到个可怕审判：‘侬要听见打仗同打仗个风声。’‘民要攻打民，国要攻打国；多处必有饥荒、瘟疫、地震。迭一切，不过是灾难个起头。’迭些预言虽则勒耶路撒冷被毁个辰光有过一部分应验，却更加直接是指向末后个日子。”
“We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecy is fast fulfilling. The Lord is at the door. There is soon to open before us a period of overwhelming interest to all living. The controversies of the past are to be revived; new controversies will arise. The scenes to be enacted in our world are not yet even dreamed of. Satan is at work through human agencies. Those who are making an effort to change the Constitution and secure a law enforcing Sunday observance little realize what will be the result. A crisis is just upon us.
“阿拉正立勒重大而庄严个大事门槛浪。预言快快勒应验。主已经到门口浪。勿久就要勒阿拉面前展开一段叫一切活着个人都极其关切个时期。过去个争论要再度兴起；新个争论也要发生。将要勒阿拉个世界里上演个景象，人还连做梦也勿曾想到。撒但正借着人个机构做工。那些设法更改宪法、并要取得一条强迫守礼拜日个法律个人，极少晓得结果将会是啥。危机就要临到阿拉身浪。”
“But God’s servants are not to trust to themselves in this great emergency. In the visions given to Isaiah, to Ezekiel, and to John we see how closely heaven is connected with the events taking place upon the earth and how great is the care of God for those who are loyal to Him. The world is not without a ruler. The program of coming events is in the hands of the Lord. The Majesty of heaven has the destiny of nations, as well as the concerns of His church, in His own charge.
“弗过，上帝个仆人㬟弗应当勒眼下阿拉介大紧要关头里靠自家。勒赐拨以赛亚、以西结搭约翰个异象里，阿拉看见天庭搭地上所发生个事体联络到啥个样亲密，也看见上帝对一切向伊忠心个人关顾有多大。世界并弗是呒没统治者。将要来到个诸般事体个安排掌握勒主个手里。天上个至尊，把列国个命运，以及伊教会个事务，也都亲自担负勒伊自家个看顾之下。 ”
“We permit ourselves to feel altogether too much care, trouble, and perplexity in the Lord’s work. Finite men are not left to carry the burden of responsibility. We need to trust in God, believe in Him, and go forward. The tireless vigilance of the heavenly messengers, and their unceasing employment in their ministry in connection with the beings of earth, show us how God’s hand is guiding the wheel within a wheel. The divine Instructor is saying to every actor in His work, as He said to Cyrus of old: ‘I girded thee, though thou hast not known Me.’
“阿拉做主个工体，常常允许自家心里挂虑、烦难搭迷惘忒过分。有限个人，勿是留拉来独自担负责任个重担。阿拉需要信靠上帝，相信伊，向前行。天上使者勿知疲倦个儆醒，搭伊拉为着地上众生所尽个不停息职分，显明上帝个手正在引导轮中套轮。神圣个训诲者对伊工作里个每一个作工个人讲，正像伊古时对古列所讲个一样：‘我曾束你个腰，虽然你勿曾认识我。’”
“In Ezekiel’s vision God had His hand beneath the wings of the cherubim. This is to teach His servants that it is divine power that gives them success. He will work with them if they will put away iniquity and become pure in heart and life.
“㕷以西结个异象里， 神个手摆㕷基路伯个翅膀底下。迭是为着教训伊个仆人：赐得伊拉成功个，乃是神圣个权能。若是伊拉肯除去罪孽，心里搭生活变做清洁，伊就会搭伊拉同工。”
“The bright light going among the living creatures with the swiftness of lightning represents the speed with which this work will finally go forward to completion. He who slumbers not, who is continually at work for the accomplishment of His designs, can carry forward His great work harmoniously. That which appears to finite minds entangled and complicated, the Lord’s hand can keep in perfect order. He can devise ways and means to thwart the purposes of wicked men, and He will bring to confusion the counsels of them that plot mischief against His people.
“阿活物当中来去个明亮光，快得像闪电一样，表明这项工作末后推进到完成个速度。𠊎个主总弗打盹，常常为成就伊自家个旨意做工，能够和谐一致地推进伊个大工。凡是对有限个人心思看上去纠缠复杂个事，主个手都能够保守得极其整齐有序。伊能设立办法同手段，拦阻恶人个图谋；凡是设计加害伊百姓个人个计策，伊都要使其归于混乱。”
“Brethren, it is no time now for mourning and despair, no time to yield to doubt and unbelief. Christ is not now a Saviour in Joseph’s new tomb, closed with a great stone and sealed with the Roman seal; we have a risen Saviour. He is the King, the Lord of hosts; He sitteth between the cherubim; and amid the strife and tumult of nations He guards His people still. He who ruleth in the heavens is our Saviour. He measures every trial. He watches the furnace fire that must test every soul. When the strongholds of kings shall be overthrown, when the arrows of God’s wrath shall strike through the hearts of His enemies, His people will be safe in His hands.” Testimonies, volume 5, 752–754.
“兄弟姊妹，眼今弗是悲哀失望个辰光，也弗是向疑惑搭勿信服低头个辰光。基督眼今弗是躺勒约瑟新坟里个救主，坟门用一块大石头关牢，还盖了罗马个印；阿拉有一位已经复活个救主。伊是王，是万军个主；伊坐勒基路伯中间；就在列国争战扰攘之中，伊还一直看顾伊个百姓。统管诸天个那一位，就是阿拉个救主。各样试炼，伊都量过。那必须试验每一个灵魂个火炉烈焰，伊都看守。等到列王个营垒要被推翻，等到上帝忿怒个箭要射穿伊仇敌个心，伊个百姓必安稳勒伊手里。”《证言》卷五，752–754。
Ezekiel represents the candidates to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and line upon line his experience in the sanctuary aligns with Isaiah’s and John’s experience within the sanctuary. We are now in the temple test, the second of the three tests that seals the one hundred and forty-four thousand. That period is the purification accomplished by the Messenger of the Covenant in fulfillment of Malachi three. The purification process of three tests, is Malachi’s fiery “furnace” “that must test every soul.” When the third angel arrived on October 22, 1844 the Messenger of the Covenant suddenly came to His temple and led the wise virgins of that history into the Most Holy Place, in order to seal His faithful, but the virgins of that history rebelled, and by 1856 the Philadelphian Millerite movement had changed unto the Laodicean Millerite movement and in 1863 became the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church.
以西结表明那些有望列入十四万四千人个候选者，伊个圣所里向个经历，一行接一行，搭以赛亚搭约翰勒圣所里向个经历相合一致。阿拉现今正处勒圣殿个试验当中，这是印封十四万四千人个三个试验里向第二个。迭段时期，就是照玛拉基书第三章所应验、由立约个使者所成就个洁净。迭个由三个试验组成个洁净过程，就是玛拉基所讲、要“试验各人灵魂”个火热“炉子”。当第三位天使勒1844年10月22日来到辰光，立约个使者忽然来到伊个圣殿，领迭段历史里向个聪明童女进入至圣所，为着印封伊个忠心之人；只是迭段历史里向个童女背叛了，到1856年，非拉铁非个米勒派运动已经变成老底嘉个米勒派运动，并且勒1863年成为老底嘉个基督复临安息日会教会。
The third angel who arrived suddenly on October 22, 1844 withdrew his presence in 1863, and then returned on September 11, 2001. Twenty-five years later the temple test that was typified by October 22, 1844 is now being repeated. Twenty-five is symbolically a prophetic tithe of two hundred and fifty, and two hundred and fifty is a symbol of the history represented in verses eleven to fifteen of Daniel eleven. Two hundred and fifty, and twenty-five is a wheel within the sanctuary vision of Ezekiel. Twenty-five is a symbol of the separation of the wise and the wicked in fulfillment of the three-step testing process that is represented in the work of purification that is accomplished by the Messenger of the Covenant.
初三位天使，忽然来勒1844年10月22日，勒1863年撤脱伊个临在，后来又勒2001年9月11日转来。过脱二十五年，彼个由1844年10月22日所预表个圣殿试验，如今又重新上演。二十五，象征性里是二百五十个先知性十一奉献；二百五十，又是《但以理书》第十一章第十一节到第十五节所代表个历史个象征。二百五十同二十五，是《以西结书》圣所异象当中个轮。二十五，是智慧个人同邪恶个人分开个象征，正应验了由立约个使者所完成个洁净工作里所表明个三步试验过程。
Matthew twenty-five contains three parables, and each parable identifies the separation of the wise and wicked in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The hope of God’s people represented in the chapter is that they might be a wise virgin in possession of the oil of the message of the midnight cry. Their hope is that they are judged a faithful servant in their stewardship of employing the special talents that were given them to manage in their personal probationary period. Their hope is that they are judged as a sheep of God’s pasture, seated upon His right side, and not a goat on his left. Twenty-five is a symbol of the separation of the wise and wicked in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Twenty-five is one of Ezekiel’s wheels.
《马太福音》二十五章内中有三则比喻，逐一比喻都指出，在十四万四千人受印额个辰光，智慧个同恶人个分开。章里所表明上帝子民个盼望，是望伊拉成为聪明个童女，手里有半夜呼声信息个油。伊拉个盼望，是望伊拉在各人恩典宽容个时期里，管理所交托伊拉个特别才干，尽忠于此等管家职分，末后受审判个辰光，被断为忠心个仆人。伊拉个盼望，是望伊拉被断为上帝草场里个羊，坐勒伊个右边，弗是坐勒伊左边个山羊。二十五乃是十四万四千人受印额个辰光，智慧个同恶人个分开个表号。二十五是以西结轮中个一个轮。
In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me thither. Ezekiel 40:1.
伲人被掳去个第二十五年，年头，月初十，城子受击破后第十四年，正到该日，耶和华个手临到我身浪，带我到该埭。以西结书 40:1。
The twenty-fifth year of captivity is represented by October 22, which is represented by the closing of a dispensational door. On October 22, 1844 a door was opened and a door was closed as two classes were separated.
被掳个第二十五年，是表明十月二十二日，也就是表明一个时代之门个关闭。到了一八四四年十月二十二日，一扇门开了，一扇门关了，两个等类也就分开来了。
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Revelation 3:7, 8.
写信拨非拉铁非教会个使者，说：个位圣洁个、真实个，执有大卫个钥匙个，伊开了，就呒没人关得来；伊关了，也呒没人开得来。阿拉晓得侬个行为：看哪，阿拉拨侬摆了一扇开着个门，呒没人关得来；因为侬气力虽则有点小，却守了阿拉个道，也呒没否认阿拉个名。启示录 3:7, 8.
Christ tells the angel of Philadelphia that He knows their work, that He has set before the church of Philadelphia, an open door. That door is opened by “the key of David,” the key that is placed upon Eliakim.
基督对非拉铁非个使者讲，伊晓得伊拉个作为；伊也摆勒非拉铁非教会面前一扇开着个门。迭扇门是凭“大卫个钥匙”打开个，就是摆勒以利亚敬身上个迭把钥匙。
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. Isaiah 22:20–22.
到迭日，我必召我个仆人，希勒家个儿子以利亚敬。我必拿侬个袍子给伊穿，拿侬个带子给伊束紧，也必把侬个政权交勒伊手里；伊必做耶路撒冷居民并犹大家个父。大卫家个钥匙，我必放勒伊肩膀浪；伊开，就呒没啥人关得脱；伊关，就呒没啥人开得脱。以赛亚书 22:20–22。
The day that Eliakim is called, he is separated from wicked Shebna.
以利亚敬蒙召格日子，伊就同恶人舍伯那分开哉。
Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say, What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock? Behold, the Lord will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord’s house. Isaiah 22:15–18.
主万军之耶和华是格样讲：去，去见该个管库格，就系掌管家务格舍伯那，对伊讲：侬勒哴有啥？侬勒哴有啥人，乃至侬勒哴为自家凿坟墓，像人勒高处凿坟墓，又勒磐石中为自家镌住处？看哪，耶和华必要大力将侬掳去，也必要严严实实遮盖侬。伊必要猛力将侬卷起、抛来抛去，像球一样抛到宽阔之地；侬要死勒该面，侬荣耀格车辇也要成作侬主人家格羞辱。以赛亚书 22:15–18。
The separation of the wise and foolish virgins that fulfilled the illustration of Shebna and Eliakim was fulfilled on October 22, 1844, and also in the twenty-fifth year of captivity of Jehoiachin which was October 22, 573 BC. In Ezekiel chapter eight the wicked within Adventism, represented by Jerusalem, are represented by twenty-five men bowing to the sun. The destruction of Jerusalem represents the Sunday law, which is also the waymark which ends the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. That sealing time began on September 11, 2001, and Jesus is both the Alpha and Omega, so September 11, 2001 as the beginning of the sealing illustrates the end, at the Sunday law.
应验示巴拿同以利亚敬之比喻个聪明童女搭愚拙童女个分开，乃应验于一八四四年十月二十二日，也应验于约雅斤被掳第二十五年，就是主前五七三年十月二十二日。于《以西结书》第八章里，复临信仰中个恶人，由耶路撒冷所预表，乃由二十五个人向太阳下拜所表明。耶路撒冷个毁灭预表星期日法，这也就是结束十四万四千人受印时期个路标。该受印时期起首于二〇〇一年九月十一日；耶稣既是阿拉法，也是假使嘎玛，所以二〇〇一年九月十一日作为受印个起头，也说明了终局，就是于星期日法之时。
September 11, 2001 was typified by the Minneapolis meetings of 1888, for Sister White identifies that when the great buildings of New York came down at 9/11, Revelation 18:1–3 was fulfilled. At that time, as in 1888 she identified the angel of Revelation eighteen descended to lighten the earth with His glory. The rebellion of 1888 she aligned with the rebellion of Korah, Dathan and Abiram, who also had two hundred and fifty men of renown join in their apostasy. Two hundred and fifty rebels in the rebellion of Korah and his cohorts in the beginning history of ancient Israel typified the twenty-five men who were bowing to the sun at the ending of ancient Israel.
2001年9月11号，预表得是1888年明尼阿波利斯格聚会；因为怀姊妹指出，纽约格大楼㧻勒脱落勒9/11辰光，启示录18:1–3就应验了。阿个辰光，像1888年一样，伊指出启示录第十八章格天使降下来，用伊格荣耀照亮全地。1888年格背叛，伊拿伊对齐到可拉、大坍、亚比兰格背叛；伊拉也有二百五十个有名望格人一同加入伊拉格叛道。古以色列起头历史里，可拉搭伊格同党格背叛当中格二百五十个叛徒，预表古以色列末了辰光向太阳下拜格二十五个人。
Twenty-five leaders of Laodicean Adventism bowing at the Sunday law and two hundred and fifty at 9/11 sets forth the sealing time with the symbolism of twenty-five, (the symbol of the separation of the wise and wicked) to mark the beginning and ending of the sealing time. Whether it’s the two hundred and fifty rebels in the time of Moses, or the twenty-five men in Ezekiel chapter eight, or of Matthew chapter twenty-five’s three witnesses of the separation, or the twenty-fifth year of the captivity in Ezekiel forty; all the manifestations of the symbol of twenty-five, align with the three two hundred- and fifty-year periods that reached their conclusion in 207 BC, 313 and 2026 respectively.
拉俄底嘉复临主义个二十五个领袖向星期日法拜倒，搭二百五十个向九一一拜倒，显明了盖印个辰光；用二十五个象征，（就系智慧个人搭邪恶个人分开个象征）来标出盖印辰光个开头搭收尾。无论系摩西辰光个二百五十个悖逆个人，还系以西结书第八章里个二十五个人，抑或马太福音第二十五章里三样分开个见证，抑或以西结书第四十章里被掳个第二十五年；凡属二十五个象征之一切显现，侪搭三段各二百五十年、分别到公元前207年、313年搭2026年告终个时期，相互对齐。
Twenty-five is an axle, so to speak, of twenty-five that brings all the lines of twenty-five into perfection. It becomes one of the prophetic keys of the kingdom given to Peter to bring clarity into the hidden history of verse forty. It has been repeatedly established on more than three witnesses that verses ten to fifteen of Daniel eleven represent a line that covers the history from 1989 unto the Sunday law, which is the hidden history of verse forty. The lion of the tribe of Judah is now unsealing the wheels of Ezekiel as He opens the hidden history that will finalize the message of the Midnight Cry of the latter days.
二十五好比一根车轴，伊使一切二十五个脉络都归于完全。伊成为赐拨彼得个天国先知性钥匙之一，为要将第四十节隐藏个历史显明出来。已经一再凭着超过三个见证确立：但以理书十一章第十节到第十五节，代表一条涵盖自一九八九年直到星期日法令个历史线，也就是第四十节隐藏个历史。犹大支派个狮子，如今正当伊开启这段隐藏历史个辰光，解开以西结轮子个印封；这段历史将要完成末后日子半夜呼声个信息。
In the following articles we will continue to identify Ezekiel’s wheels that represent the complex interplay of men in the latter days. Ezekiel chapter one at the beginning of this article and the accompanying passage from Testimonies volume five set forth will be our continued point of reference as we proceed in the articles. When the wheels are set forth in their proper place, and with their proper intersections with the other wheels of prophetic history we will demonstrate that the three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days that empowered the first angel on August 11, 1840 is also represented by Ezekiel as three hundred and ninety years, connected with the one and a half years of the siege of Jerusalem; and that the arrival of this prophetic light identifies the lifting up of the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
阿拉后头几篇文章里，還要繼續辨明以西結个輪子；伊拉表明末后日子里眾人之間錯綜複雜个相互作用。本文開頭所列个《以西結書》第一章，並第五卷《證言》里相陪个一段話，當阿拉繼續寫這幾篇文章个辰光，總要作為阿拉持續參照个根據。等到這些輪子照伊拉應當个地位擺明，並照伊拉同先知歷史里其餘輪子所當有个交接關係一併擺出，阿拉就要證明：那在1840年8月11日賦予第一位天使能力个三百九十一年並十五日，也同樣由以西結表明為三百九十年，並同耶路撒冷被圍困一年半連結；而這一道先知性亮光个來到，也指明了那十四萬四千人之旌旗被舉起。
July 27, 1299 unto 1337 represents thirty-eight years at the beginning of the one hundred and fifty years (five months) of Revelation nine, verse ten. That one hundred and fifty years connects with the three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days of verse fifteen. Thus, the beginning of the two periods, make up one line of prophecy which concluded in the fulfillment of the 1838 and 1840 prediction of Josiah Litch and marked the rising up and empowerment of the Millerite movement. That history at the beginning of Adventism, marks the rising up of the one hundred and forty-four thousand as an ensign in advance of the Sunday law. Thus, Ezekiel’s three hundred and ninety years, and one point five years (1.5) of Jerusalem’s siege marks the end of the line of prophecy that began in 1299.
从1299年7月27号到1337年，乃是《启示录》第九章第十节所讲那一百五十年（五个月）开头个三十八年。该一百五十年，同第十五节所讲个三百九十一年零十五日相连。故此，这两段时期个起头，合成一条预言个线，直到约西亚·利奇于1838年同1840年所发之预告应验时告终，并标明米勒派运动个兴起同得着能力。此段历史，在复临信仰起头之时，表明十四万四千人于星期日法令来到之前，作为一面旌旗而兴起。故此，以西结所讲个三百九十年，并耶路撒冷被围困之一点五年（1.5），标明那条始于1299年个预言线之终点。
It would be worthwhile to consider the passage from Testimonies, volume five in advance of the next article.
下篇文章以前，先来思想《Testimonies》第五卷里个该段话，实在是值得个。
