The history of 1776, 1789 and 1798, illustrate the history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. On each of those dates, the earth beast spake. The three waymarks that are typified by the three times the earth beast spake, run parallel to the three voices of Christ on September 11, 2001, July, 2023 and the soon coming Sunday law.
1776、1789同1798年嘅歷史,說明咗十四萬四千人受印嘅歷史。喺呢三個日期之上,地獸都曾經發聲。由地獸三次發聲所預表嘅三個路標,與基督喺2001年9月11日、2023年7月,以及即將來到嘅星期日法令之中嘅三次聲音,彼此平行。
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet. Revelation 1:10.
當主日,我在聖靈感動之中,聽見在我後面有大聲音如吹號一樣。啟示錄 1:10。
Each of those three vocal waymarks identify the escalating “sounding” of the third woe, which is also the seventh warning trumpet, and a trumpet is a voice.
呢三個發聲嘅路標,每一個都標示出第三樣災禍——亦即第七枝警告號角——逐步加劇嘅「吹響」;而號角本身就係一把聲音。
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Isaiah 58:1.
你要大聲呼喊,不可止息;要揚起你嘅聲音,好像號筒,向我嘅百姓指出佢哋嘅過犯,向雅各家指出佢哋嘅罪惡。以賽亞書 58:1
The voice to the Protestant horn on September 11, 2001 was the voice of the watchmen calling Laodicean Adventism back to Jeremiah’s old paths, but the assembly of mockers refused to walk therein.
喺二〇〇一年九月十一日向新教之角所發出嘅聲音,乃係守望者嘅聲音,呼召老底嘉狀態嘅復臨信仰歸回耶利米所指示嘅古道;然而,嗤笑者嘅會眾卻拒絕行喺其中。
Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. Jeremiah 6:16, 17.
耶和華如此說:你們當站在路上觀看,訪問古道,哪是善道,便行在其間;這樣,你們心裏必得安息。只是他們說:我們不行在其間。我又設立守望的人治理你們,說:要聽角聲。他們卻說:我們不聽。耶利米書 6:16, 17。
The voice of July, 2023 was the resurrection of the ministry of Future for America, which had been silent since the first disappointment on July 18, 2020. As with John’s announcement of the soon coming Messiah, and with Justinian’s announcement of the soon coming antichrist, Future for America identified that the future of America was about to be changed forever at the soon coming Sunday law, and the sounding of the seventh trumpet at that waymark. The voice of one crying in the wilderness was the voice of July, 2023.
二〇二三年七月之聲,乃係 Future for America 嘅事工之復活;自二〇二〇年七月十八日第一次失望以來,呢項事工一直沉默無聲。正如約翰宣告快將來臨嘅彌賽亞,亦正如查士丁尼安宣告快將來臨嘅敵基督一樣,Future for America 指明,美國嘅將來將會喺快將來到嘅星期日法令,同埋喺嗰個路標所吹響嘅第七號筒聲之時,被永遠改變。喺曠野呼喊者之聲,就係二〇二三年七月之聲。
The second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen, is sounded at the soon coming Sunday law when the speaking of the dragon by the earth beast occurs. It is at that point that “the donkey” is struck a third time, and then “the donkey” will speak. The donkey was struck soon after September 11, 2001, after October 7, 2023, and then will be struck again at the soon coming Sunday law, where it speaks. In the testimony of Balaam it was turned out of the way by an angel, and the angel represents the four angels who are commanded to hold the four winds of Islam, but at the Sunday law the donkey of Islam speaks with the sound of the seventh trumpet, which is also the third woe.
《啟示錄》第十八章嘅第二把聲音,係喺即將來臨嘅星期日法令頒佈之時發出;嗰時,地獸說龍言嘅事就會發生。正正喺嗰個時點,「驢」會第三次被擊打,然後「驢」就會說話。驢曾經喺2001年9月11日之後不久、2023年10月7日之後,受過擊打;之後亦將會喺即將來臨嘅星期日法令之時再次被擊打,並喺嗰度發聲。喺巴蘭嘅見證當中,牠被一位天使攔阻而轉離正路;而嗰位天使乃係象徵奉命執持伊斯蘭四風嘅四位天使。但到咗星期日法令之時,伊斯蘭嘅驢就會以第七號嘅聲音發言,亦即係第三樣災禍。
It is there that the vision of Islam, which has tarried since July 18, 2020 speaks, for it will then no longer tarry. There are many voices in the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and that period precedes God’s executive judgment that begins at the soon coming Sunday law. God’s executive judgment is represented by seven angels, with seven vials. That period begins with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and it represents a repetition of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was poured out and tongues of fire witnessed to the event. The outpouring at that point in time is no longer measured, for the Holy Spirit is then poured out without measure.
正是在那裏,自二〇二〇年七月十八日以來耽延了的伊斯蘭異象發聲;因為到那時,它便不再耽延。喺十四萬四千人受印嘅時期當中,有許多聲音;而嗰段時期先於上帝嘅執行審判,呢執行審判係由即將來臨嘅星期日法開始。上帝嘅執行審判由七位天使、連同七個盛怒嘅碗所表徵。嗰段時期始於聖靈嘅傾降,並且表明五旬節嘅重演;當時聖靈被傾降下來,而火焰般嘅舌頭為此事作見證。喺嗰個時點嘅傾降不再係按分量衡量,因為到嗰時,聖靈乃是無限量咁被傾降。
“The angel who unites in the proclamation of the third angel’s message is to lighten the whole earth with his glory. A work of world-wide extent and unwonted power is here foretold. The advent movement of 1840–44 was a glorious manifestation of the power of God; the first angel’s message was carried to every missionary station in the world, and in some countries there was the greatest religious interest which has been witnessed in any land since the Reformation of the sixteenth century; but these are to be exceeded by the mighty movement under the last warning of the third angel.
「那位與第三位天使嘅信息聯合宣告嘅天使,要以佢嘅榮耀照亮全地。呢度所預言嘅,乃係一項遍及全世界、並具非常能力嘅工作。1840至1844年嘅復臨運動,乃係上帝能力榮耀嘅顯現;第一位天使嘅信息曾傳到世界各地每一個傳教站;而喺某些國家,更出現咗自十六世紀宗教改革以來,任何地方所未曾見過嘅最大宗教興趣;但喺第三位天使最後警告之下所興起嘅大能運動,呢一切都要被超越。」
“The work will be similar to that of the Day of Pentecost. As the ‘former rain’ was given, in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the opening of the gospel, to cause the upspringing of the precious seed, so the ‘latter rain’ will be given at its close for the ripening of the harvest.” The Great Controversy, 611.
「呢項工作將會同五旬節嗰日嘅工作相似。正如喺福音開展之初,藉住聖靈嘅傾注而賜下『前雨』,使寶貴嘅種子發芽生長;照樣,喺福音結束之時,亦都會賜下『後雨』,使莊稼成熟。」《善惡之爭》,611頁。
On September 11, 2001 the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began, and the Holy Spirit was poured out in measure. The measuring of the outpouring was represented in the history of Pentecost, beginning at Christ’s resurrection, where an angel spoke and said, “Son of God come forth, the father calls thee,” just as Jesus called Lazarus out of the tomb with the words, “Lazarus come forth.” In 2023, Christ called the dead, dry bones of the two witnesses to “come forth”.
喺2001年9月11日,嗰十四萬四千人嘅蓋印開始咗,而聖靈亦按着分量被澆灌出嚟。呢個澆灌嘅量度,喺五旬節嘅歷史之中有所表徵;其起始於基督嘅復活,當時有一位天使說:「 神的兒子,出來吧,父呼召你」,正如耶穌曾用「拉撒路,出來」呢句說話,將拉撒路從墳墓裏呼喚出來一樣。到咗2023年,基督向兩個見證人嗰啲死咗、枯乾咗嘅骸骨發出呼召,叫佢哋「出來」。
After Christ’s resurrection He first ascended to His father, and then He descended as He did on September 11, 2001. He then progressively enlightened His disciples as represented by meeting with Mary, the disciples He met and instructed on the road to Emmaus, and thereafter appearing to the rest of the disciples. For forty days He taught the disciples before His final ascension, then after ten more days, they were all in accord and in one place and the Holy Spirit was poured out without measure.
基督復活之後,祂首先升到祂的父那裏,然後祂降下,正如祂於2001年9月11日所行的一樣。其後,祂循序漸進地光照祂的門徒,這由祂與馬利亞相遇、在往以馬忤斯的路上遇見並教導門徒,以及此後向其餘門徒顯現所表徵。在祂最後升天之前,祂用了四十天教導門徒;其後再過十天,他們都同心合意聚集在一處,聖靈便無限量地澆灌下來。
“When Jesus met with His disciples, He reminded them of the words He had spoken to them before His death, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalm concerning Him. ‘Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things.’” The Desire of Ages, 804.
「當耶穌與祂的門徒相會時,祂提醒他們,祂在受死之前曾對他們所說的話,就是在摩西的律法、先知書和詩篇中一切指着祂所記的事,都必須應驗。『於是耶穌開他們的心竅,使他們能明白聖經,又對他們說:照經上所記的,基督必受害,第三日從死裏復活;並且人要奉祂的名傳悔改、赦罪的道,從耶路撒冷起直傳到萬邦。你們就是這些事的見證。』」《歷代願望》,804。
In July of 2023, Jesus’ voice awakened the two dead witnesses and began to open His disciples understanding of all things written in the law of Moses (the “seven times”), the prophets (Nebuchadnezzar’s image of the beasts), and the Psalms (the experience of Moses and the Lamb). His work of instruction began at His resurrection, and it escalated over the next forty days. It began with His request to eat.
喺2023年7月,耶穌嘅聲音喚醒咗兩個死咗嘅見證人,並且開始打開祂門徒對一切所記載於摩西律法(「七次」)、先知書(尼布甲尼撒所見獸像),以及詩篇(摩西同羔羊嘅經歷)之事嘅悟性。祂教導嘅工作喺祂復活之時開始,並喺其後四十日之內愈發加劇。呢一切係由祂要求進食開始。
And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them. And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Luke 24:41–44.
佢哋因歡喜得仲未敢相信,又覺得希奇,耶穌就對佢哋話:「你哋呢度有乜嘢食物冇?」佢哋就畀咗一塊燒魚同一塊蜜房佢。佢接過來,就喺佢哋面前食咗。耶穌對佢哋話:「呢啲就係我從前仲同你哋一齊嘅時候,對你哋所講嘅話:摩西嘅律法、先知嘅書,同詩篇上凡指着我所記嘅一切事,都必須應驗。」路加福音 24:41–44。
Prayer was a primary waymark in the ongoing history, and the history from Christ’s resurrection until He ascended forty days later, left ten days (ten is a test), unto Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit would be poured out without measure. His resurrection, ascension, followed by His descent again, represents September 11, 2001. July, 2023 represents the end of the forty days, and the ten days which follow July, 2023 lead to the soon coming Sunday law. In that final period of ten days, unity and prayer are the waymark. The unity was represented by Ezekiel’s first prophecy in chapter thirty-seven, that brought the bones, sinews and flesh together. Ezekiel’s second prophecy was the breath of the four winds, and breath is a symbol of prayer. In those final ten days the one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed, as they have been typified by Lazarus.
禱告乃係呢段持續歷史中一個主要嘅路標;而由基督復活直到祂四十日後升天嘅呢段歷史,留下咗十日(十乃試驗),直到五旬節,嗰時聖靈要無限量咁被傾注落嚟。祂嘅復活、升天,隨後再一次降臨,乃表徵 2001 年 9 月 11 日。2023 年 7 月表徵四十日嘅終結,而隨住 2023 年 7 月之後嘅十日,便引向即將來臨嘅星期日法令。喺嗰最後十日嘅時期當中,合一同禱告就係路標。呢種合一,係由以西結第三十七章嘅第一個預言所表徵;嗰預言使骸骨、筋同肉聚合埋一齊。以西結嘅第二個預言,乃係四方之風嘅氣息,而氣息乃係禱告嘅象徵。喺嗰最後十日之內,十四萬四千人受印,正如拉撒路所預表嘅一樣。
“This was the reason of His delay in going to Bethany. This crowning miracle, the raising of Lazarus, was to set the seal of God on His work and on His claim to divinity.” The Desire of Ages, 529.
「這就是祂延遲前往伯大尼的原因。這個最高峰的神蹟,就是叫拉撒路從死裏復活,乃是要為祂的工作,以及祂自稱具有神性這一宣稱,加上上帝的印證。」《歷代願望》,529。
Not only are the wise virgins sealed during this crowning miracle, but the foolish virgins are also sealed on the wrong side of the issue.
喺呢個加冕嘅神蹟當中,被印封嘅唔單止係聰明嘅童女;愚拙嘅童女亦都喺呢個問題上站喺錯誤嘅一邊而被印封。
“Christ’s crowning miracle—the raising of Lazarus—had sealed the determination of the priests to rid the world of Jesus and His wonderful works, which were fast destroying their influence over the people.” Acts of the Apostles, 67.
「基督最具頂峰意義嘅神蹟——使拉撒路從死裡復活——已經使祭司立定決心,要把耶穌同佢奇妙嘅作為一併從世上除去;而呢啲作為正迅速摧毀佢哋喺民眾中間嘅影響力。」《使徒行述》,67。
The many voices in the history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand unto the soon coming Sunday law are “line upon line,” the voices of God’s prophetic Word, and those voices sound in the period where “the effect of every vision” is accomplished. They sound when the seventh seal is opened.
喺十四萬四千人受印嘅歷史之中,直到即將來臨嘅星期日法令為止,嗰許多聲音乃係「命上加命」,即係上帝預言之道嘅聲音;而呢啲聲音響起於「一切異象所論的都必應驗」嘅時期。佢哋乃係喺第七印揭開之時發聲。
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. Revelation 8:1–5.
及至祂揭開第七印之時,天上寂靜,約有半小時。我看見那站在神面前的七位天使;有七枝號賜給他們。另有一位天使前來,站在祭壇旁,拿着金香爐;又有許多香賜給他,叫他與眾聖徒的祈禱一同獻在寶座前的金壇上。那香的煙,和眾聖徒的祈禱,從天使手中一同升到神面前。那天使拿着香爐,盛滿了祭壇上的火,投在地上;隨即有聲音、雷轟、閃電、地震。啟示錄 8:1–5。
The opening of the seventh seal produced silence, for the period represents a change of dispensation, and in a change in a sacred dispensation, there is always silence in heaven as attested to by the cross when the angels ceased their music and praise. Silence in heaven is as attested to by the requirements of the day of atonement, and on October 22, 1844, Habakkuk TWO, verse TWENTY commanded all the earth keep silence.
第七印一揭開,便有寂靜,因為呢段時期代表時代嘅更替;而每逢神聖時代更替之際,天上總有寂靜,正如十字架所見證嘅一樣,當時天使止息咗佢哋嘅音樂同讚美。天上嘅寂靜,亦由贖罪日嘅規定所見證;而喺1844年10月22日,《哈巴谷書》二章二十節吩咐全地都當肅靜。
“I have been shown the great love and condescension of God in giving His Son to die that man might find pardon and live. I was shown Adam and Eve, who were privileged to behold the beauty and loveliness of the Garden of Eden and were permitted to eat of all the trees in the garden except one. But the serpent tempted Eve, and she tempted her husband, and they both ate of the forbidden tree. They broke God’s command, and became sinners. The news spread through heaven, and every harp was hushed. The angels sorrowed, and feared lest Adam and Eve would again put forth the hand and eat of the tree of life and be immortal sinners. But God said that He would drive the transgressors from the garden, and by cherubim and a flaming sword would guard the way of the tree of life, so that man could not approach unto it and eat of its fruit, which perpetuates immortality.” Early Writings, 125.
「我蒙指示,看見上帝在賜下祂的兒子受死這事上所顯明的大愛與謙卑,好叫人可以得蒙赦免而活。我又蒙指示,看見亞當與夏娃;他們曾有特權得見伊甸園的美麗與可愛,並蒙准吃園中各樣樹上的果子,惟獨有一棵樹除外。但蛇引誘了夏娃,夏娃又引誘她丈夫,他們二人都吃了那棵禁樹上的果子。他們違背了上帝的命令,就成了罪人。這消息傳遍了天庭,所有的琴都止息無聲。天使都憂傷,並且懼怕亞當與夏娃會再伸手去摘生命樹的果子來吃,以致成為不死的罪人。但上帝說,祂要把這些犯罪的人趕出園子,並要藉着基路伯和四面轉動發火焰的劍把守生命樹的道路,免得人可以走近那樹,吃它的果子,就是那使不死延續下去的果子。」《早期著作》,125頁。
Heaven was silenced when men became sinners, and heaven was silenced when Christ’s blood was shed to redeem sinners, and heaven was silenced when Christ’s work of judgment began in removing sin from His people.
當人類成為罪人之時,天上就寂然無聲;當基督為救贖罪人而流出寶血之時,天上也寂然無聲;當基督開始施行審判的工作,從祂的子民中除去罪惡之時,天上同樣寂然無聲。
“The intercession of Christ in man’s behalf in the sanctuary above is as essential to the plan of salvation as was His death upon the cross. By His death He began that work which after His resurrection He ascended to complete in heaven.” The Great Controversy, 489.
「基督為人喺天上聖所中所作嘅代求,對救贖計劃之不可或缺,正如祂喺十字架上嘅死一樣。祂藉着自己嘅死開始咗嗰項工作,而喺復活之後,祂升到天上去完成呢項工作。」《善惡之爭》,489。
The work of judgement began at the arrival of the third angel in 1844, but God’s people chose to die in the wilderness, rather than becoming eternally one with divinity. The third angel arrived again on September 11, 2001 and once again there was silence in heaven. Then the Lion of the tribe of Judah, began to remove the seventh seal as the angel’s watched the arrival of the third angel into the history of the final generation.
審判嘅工作喺1844年第三位天使來到嘅時候開始,但上帝嘅子民寧願死喺曠野,都唔願意與神性永遠合而為一。第三位天使喺2001年9月11日再次來到,天上又再一次寂靜無聲。其後,猶大支派嘅獅子開始揭開第七印,當時眾天使正注視住第三位天使進入末後世代歷史之中。
The seven judgment angels were there ready to begin their work of destruction, but they were then told to “Hold, hold, hold, hold,” while the one hundred and forty-four thousand were being sealed. The faithful’s twofold prayers were sent to heaven, typified by the ten days that preceded Pentecost and began after the forty days (a symbol of the wilderness), representing the three and a half days (a symbol of the wilderness) of Revelation chapter eleven. The two witnesses were then instructed by the voice from the wilderness that they must fulfill Daniel’s two prayers. The prayer of Daniel two, where Daniel and the three worthies prayed for light to understand Nebuchadnezzar’s secret dream of the image of beasts, and Daniel’s prayer in chapter nine, where Daniel prayed alone, fulfilling the requirements of the Leviticus twenty-six prayer.
嗰七位施行審判嘅天使當時已經在場,準備開始佢哋毀滅嘅工作;但當十四萬四千人正被蓋印之時,佢哋就被吩咐話:「且停住,且停住,且停住,且停住。」忠心者雙重嘅祈禱被送達天上,乃由五旬節之前嗰十日所預表;呢十日係喺嗰四十日之後開始嘅(四十日乃曠野嘅表號),並且代表《啟示錄》第十一章所講嘅三日半(亦係曠野嘅表號)。跟住,兩個見證人就從曠野而來嘅聲音受命,知道佢哋必須成全但以理嘅兩個祈禱。其一係《但以理書》第二章中但以理嘅祈禱,當時但以理同三位同伴為要得着亮光,好明白尼布甲尼撒關於獸像嘅隱祕夢而祈求;其二係《但以理書》第九章中但以理嘅祈禱,當時但以理獨自祈禱,成全咗《利未記》第二十六章之祈禱嘅要求。
The Daniel two corporate prayer was for light concerning a hidden secret that was hidden within the external line of prophetic history. The Daniel nine, private personal prayer was for mercy concerning an internal need. As the fire of the latter rain began to fall in 2001, there were many voices that could be heard by those who understood the methodology of line upon line. The fire from the altar that was being cast to the earth, was the message which produced the final separation of the wise and foolish, and as that message continued to develop over those ten symbolic days the message became clearer and clearer.
但以理書第二章嗰個群體性祈禱,係為咗得着亮光,好明白一個隱藏嘅奧祕;呢個奧祕係隱藏喺預言歷史之外在線之內。至於但以理書第九章嗰個私人、個人嘅祈禱,則係為咗憐憫,關乎一個內在嘅需要。當後雨嘅火喺2001年開始降下之時,凡明白「線上加線」呢種方法論嘅人,都能夠聽見許多聲音。由祭壇投向地上嘅火,正係嗰個帶來智慧同愚拙之人最終分別嘅信息;而隨着呢個信息喺嗰十個象徵性日子之中繼續發展,呢個信息就變得愈來愈清晰。
The message was the escalating crisis of the third woe, which in Ezekiel chapter thirty-seven, was the two prophecies that first caused the two witnesses to come together, and then caused them to stand as a mighty army. Thereafter in chapter thirty-seven, they are joined into one stick, and the union represented by the joining together as one stick represents the combination of divinity with humanity, which is accomplished in the final movements of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
呢個信息乃係第三樣災禍不斷升級嘅危機;喺以西結書第三十七章入面,呢個危機就係嗰兩個預言:首先使兩個見證人走埋一齊,然後又使佢哋站立成為一支大能嘅軍隊。其後,喺第三十七章入面,佢哋被聯合成為一根杖;而呢種藉着聯合成為一根杖所表徵嘅合一,乃係神性與人性嘅結合,而呢種結合係喺十四萬四千人受印最後階段嘅工作之中得以完成。
In July, 2023 the prayers began to ascend, and they were the prayers of Daniel chapter nine, and chapter two. Then were heard voices and also thunders, and lightnings were then seen. Lightning and thunder accompany rain in both the natural world, and in prophecy. The rain began on September 11, 2001. The first reference to lightning and thunder identifies it as a message that is designed to produce godly fear.
喺2023年7月,禱告開始上達,而呢啲乃係但以理書第九章同第二章嘅禱告。隨後就有聲音發出,又有雷轟,並且見到閃電。無論喺自然界,抑或喺預言之中,閃電同雷轟都伴隨住雨。呢場雨喺2001年9月11日開始。對閃電同雷轟嘅第一次提及,指出佢係一個旨在生發敬虔懼怕嘅信息。
And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. Exodus 19:16.
到第三日早晨,山上有雷轟、閃電,並有密雲;又有極其響亮的角聲,以致營中的百姓盡都戰慄。出埃及記 19:16。
The lightnings and thunders were accompanied with the “voice” of a trumpet. They are accompanied by rain, and represent prophetic footsteps to guide God’s people.
閃電同雷轟伴隨住號角嘅「聲音」。佢哋亦伴隨住雨水,並且象徵先知性嘅腳蹤,用以引導神嘅子民。
The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. Psalms 77:17–20.
雲彩倒出水來;穹蒼發出響聲;你的箭也四處飛射。你的雷聲在天上;閃電照亮世界;大地戰抖震動。你的道路在海中,你的路徑在大水之中,你的腳蹤無人知道。你藉摩西和亞倫的手,引導你的百姓,如同羊群一般。詩篇 77:17–20
The lightnings and thunders are God’s voice, which occurs during the time of rain, and during that period of time, He brings His winds (Islam is the east wind) out of His treasury.
閃電與雷轟乃是神的聲音,這乃發生於降雨之時;並且在那段時期,祂從自己的府庫中發出祂的風(伊斯蘭乃是東風)。
When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. Jeremiah 10:13.
當祂發聲之時,天上便有眾水喧嘩;祂使雲霧從地極上騰;祂造電隨雨而來,又從祂的府庫中帶出風來。耶利米書 10:13
God uttered His voice when He cried out as a lion, and in response seven thunders uttered their voices, and those seven thunders represent God’s footsteps during the history of the Millerite movement and also in the movement of the third angel, which arrived again on September 11, 2001, when He brought forth the east wind out of His treasures.
當上帝如獅子吼叫、發出祂聲音之時,七雷亦隨之發出其聲;而那七雷象徵上帝喺米勒派運動歷史期間嘅腳步,亦象徵第三位天使運動中祂嘅腳步;呢個運動喺2001年9月11日再次臨到,當時祂從自己嘅府庫中引出東風。
He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. Psalms 135:7, 8.
祂使蒸氣從地極上騰;祂為雨造閃電;祂從祂的府庫中帶出風來。祂擊殺埃及頭生的,無論是人是牲畜。詩篇 135:7, 8。
He brought out the wind from His treasuries, when the first born of Egypt was smitten, and the Passover typified the cross, which in turn typified the arrival of the third angel in 1844, which in turn typified the return of the third angel in the day of the east wind, on September 11, 2001.
當埃及嘅長子被擊殺之時,祂從自己嘅府庫中帶出風來;而逾越節乃預表十字架,十字架又預表一八四四年第三位天使嘅來臨,而呢一切又進一步預表第三位天使喺東風之日,即二〇〇一年九月十一日,再次返嚟。
When the seals are removed from the book that is sealed with the seven seals, it represents a progressive development of truth. The removing of the seventh seal represents the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. When the book that was sealed with seven seals is first mentioned there lightnings, thunderings and voices, but no earthquake.
當那用七印封嚴的書卷之印被揭開時,這乃表徵真理漸進的發展。第七印被揭開,乃表徵十四萬四千人的蓋印時期。那先前用七印封嚴的書卷初次被提及時,有閃電、聲音、雷轟,卻沒有地震。
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. Revelation 4:5.
有閃電、聲音、雷轟從寶座中發出;寶座前又有七盞火燈點着,這七燈就是神的七靈。啟示錄 4:5
In the first mention of the voices, lightnings, and thunders; the rain is represented by the Holy Spirit, who is the seven lamps of fire, but there is no earthquake. It is at the removal of the Seventh Seal that the earthquake of the soon coming Sunday law is identified. Chapter four of Revelation identifies the beginning of the unsealing of truth accomplished by the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and when the sealing time is identified, it identifies the beginning and ending of the period.
在第一次提到聲音、閃電與雷轟之時,雨乃由聖靈所表徵;祂就是那七盞火燈,但當中並沒有地震。直至第七印被揭去之時,那象徵即將來臨之星期日法令的地震才被指明。啟示錄第四章指出,那由猶大支派中的獅子所成就之真理揭開封印的開始;而當蓋印的時期被指明之時,也就指明了這段時期的開始與終結。
The beginning of the current period was when the angel descended to lighten the earth with His glory on September 11, 2001, then in Isaiah six we are informed that the message represented by “voices, lightnings, thunderings, wind and rain” that concludes at the Sunday law, is to be proclaimed to a people that see, but will be unable to perceive the meaning of the lightnings, and though they hear, they will be unable to understand the voices and thunders, until they are overtaken by the great earthquake. The period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is the period where the effect of every vision is fulfilled.
現今呢一時期嘅開始,乃係嗰位天使於2001年9月11日降下,以祂嘅榮耀照亮全地之時;跟住我哋喺以賽亞書第六章得知,由「聲音、閃電、雷轟、風同雨」所代表、並於星期日法令之時結束嘅信息,係要向一班看見卻不能領悟閃電之意義、聽見卻不能明白聲音同雷轟嘅人民宣告,直至佢哋被大地震所追上。十四萬四千人受印記嘅時期,就係每一個異象之效驗得以應驗嘅時期。
That history produces and manifests two classes of worshippers. One class recognize the rain, and therefore receive it, for they can see the lightning, and hear the voices, the thunder and the wind. At the end of the period of the sealing, the great earthquake of the soon coming Sunday law, then introduces the executive judgments of God.
嗰段歷史產生並顯明兩等敬拜者。一等承認呢場雨,因此領受佢,因為佢哋能看見閃電,並聽見聲音、雷轟同風聲。喺蓋印時期結束之際,嗰即將來到之星期日法令嘅大地震,隨即引進上帝執行性嘅審判。
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. Revelation 11:19.
上帝在天上的殿開了,在他殿中現出他約櫃;又有閃電、聲音、雷轟、地震,並大雹。啟示錄 11:19。
At the great earthquake the “lightnings, and voices, and thunderings,” include “hail.” The “hail” represents the judgments that begin to be poured out by the seven angels that were preparing to do so at the beginning of the sealing time, when the seventh seal was being opened, just as they were waiting for the angel to go through Jerusalem and place a mark upon those who sighed and cried for the abominations done in the land (external), and in the church (internal).
喺嗰場大地震之時,「閃電、聲音、雷轟」之中亦包括「冰雹」。「冰雹」代表審判;呢啲審判乃係由嗰七位天使開始傾倒出嚟。佢哋喺印封時期開始之初,即第七印正被揭開之時,已預備要如此行;正如佢哋曾等候那位天使走遍耶路撒冷,將記號印喺嗰啲為地上(外在)同教會內(內在)所行可憎之事而歎息哀哭嘅人身上一樣。
The “hail,” marks the time of God’s destructive judgments, which are a time of mercy for God’s other flock, who are then being called out of Babylon, and when the last of the great multitude has joined God’s flock, human probation fully closes.
「冰雹」標誌着上帝施行毀滅性審判嘅時候;然而,對上帝另外嘅羊群嚟講,呢卻係一段恩典嘅時期,因為嗰時佢哋正被呼召出巴比倫;而當嗰大群人中最後一位都已經加入上帝嘅羊群之後,人類恩典時期就完全結束。
And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. Revelation 16:17–19.
第七位天使把碗倒在空中;就有大聲音從天上的殿中、從寶座那裏發出,說:「成了!」又有聲音、雷轟、閃電;並且有大地震,自從地上有人以來,沒有這樣大、這樣厲害的地震。那大城裂為三段,列國的城也都倒塌了;大巴比倫在上帝面前被記念,要把祂烈怒之酒的杯給她。啟示錄 16:17–19
Dear Reader: Can you hear the voices and thunders? Can you see the lightning? Can you feel the wind? Soon you will hear the voice of the foolish virgins begging for oil.
親愛的讀者:你能聽見那些聲音與雷轟嗎?你能看見閃電嗎?你能感受到風嗎?不久,你將會聽見愚拙的童女乞求油的聲音。
We will continue this study in the next article.
我哋將會喺下一篇文章繼續呢項研讀。
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble! The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein. For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord. When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me. Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the Lord in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities? The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? Jeremiah 8:15–22.
我哋指望平安,卻毫無好處;指望痊癒嘅時候,不料,竟有驚惶!從但傳來佢馬匹噴鼻之聲;因佢壯馬嘶鳴嘅響聲,全地震動;因為佢哋嚟到,吞滅呢地,同其中所有嘅;又吞滅城邑同住喺其中嘅人。耶和華說:「看哪,我必使蛇、毒蛇到你哋中間,係唔能被符咒制伏嘅;牠哋必咬你哋。」我欲藉安慰自己以勝過憂愁,我心喺我裏面發昏。看哪,因住喺遠方之地嘅人,我民嘅女兒發出哀哭之聲:「耶和華唔喺錫安嗎?佢嘅王唔喺其中嗎?」「佢哋為乜嘢以雕刻嘅偶像同外邦虛無之物惹我發怒呢?」麥秋已過,夏令已完,我哋仍未得救。因我民嘅女兒受損傷,我也受損傷;我哀慟,驚惶將我抓住。基列冇乳香嗎?嗰度冇醫生嗎?咁我民嘅女兒嘅痊癒,點解仲未恢復呢?耶利米書 8:15–22。
