We are considering the “hidden history” of verse forty of Daniel chapter eleven, when it ceases its written testimony at the time of the end in 1989, unto the Sunday law of verse forty-one. The hidden history represents the structure to align all the prophetic lines of the last days upon, for the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand takes place within that hidden history. That history is where the test associated with the formation of the image of the beast occurs. It is therefore the history where Nebuchadnezzar’s hidden dream of the image of the beasts is unsealed. That hidden history is where the hidden history from Donald Trump’s first term concludes in verse two of Daniel eleven, unto verse three aligns. That hidden history is the portion of the prophecy of Daniel that relates to the last days, and it is the Revelation of Jesus Christ which is unsealed just before probation closes at the Sunday law. All of these lines of truth are represented as the removal of the seventh and final seal.
我哋現正考察《但以理書》第十一章第四十節嘅「隱藏歷史」——由其書寫見證喺末時、即一九八九年止息之處,直到第四十一節嘅星期日法。呢段隱藏歷史,乃係用以將末後日子一切預言線索對齊嘅結構,因為十四萬四千人嘅印記,正係喺呢段隱藏歷史之內完成。呢段歷史,亦係與獸像形成有關之試驗發生之處。因此,呢段歷史就係尼布甲尼撒有關獸像之隱藏異夢被揭開封印之歷史。呢段隱藏歷史,亦係由唐納德·特朗普第一個任期開始嘅隱藏歷史喺《但以理書》第十一章第二節完結,而與第三節對齊之處。呢段隱藏歷史,乃係《但以理書》預言中關乎末後日子嘅部分,並且就係《耶穌基督的啟示》,喺星期日法、即恩門關閉之前不久被揭開封印。所有呢啲真理線,都被表述為第七個、亦即最後一個印嘅除去。
Verses ten through fifteen of Daniel eleven are to be aligned with that hidden history, and the last three of those verses present three prophetic lines. They identify when the papacy intrudes back into history, as it did in the year 200 BC, when pagan Rome first entered the prophetic history represented in Daniel chapter eleven, verse fourteen. That verse, and the fulfillment of that verse in the history of pagan Rome, established the vision, for pagan Rome was the symbol of the power that exalted itself, robbed God’s people and then fell. Apostate Protestantism applied the verse to Antiochus Epiphanes, but the Millerites applied it to pagan Rome, identifying the verse as a testing truth in Millerite history. Today modern Laodicean Adventism’s theologians again teach that it is Antiochus Epiphanes, so it is again a testing truth.
但以理書十一章第十至十五節,必須同嗰段隱藏嘅歷史對齊;而呢幾節當中最後三節呈現出三條預言嘅線索。佢哋指出,教皇制係喺幾時再次闖入歷史,正如喺公元前二百年一樣,當時異教羅馬首次進入但以理書十一章十四節所表述嘅預言歷史。嗰一節,以及嗰一節喺異教羅馬歷史中嘅應驗,奠定咗異象,因為異教羅馬正係嗰個自高自大、搶奪上帝子民、然後跌倒之權勢嘅象徵。背道嘅新教將嗰一節應用於安提阿古.伊皮法尼,而米勒派卻將之應用於異教羅馬,並指出嗰一節喺米勒派歷史中乃係一項試驗真理。今日,現代老底嘉復臨主義嘅神學家又再教導話,嗰個係安提阿古.伊皮法尼,因此,呢一點再次成為一項試驗真理。
Not only is it a testing truth, but the verse and its fulfillment in 200 BC, identifies when the whore of Tyre (modern Rome), begins to sing her satanic songs, and points to the papacy entering into last-day history, and therefore represents the primary testing truth of the last days, that aligns with testing truth represented by the debate of Millerite history.
呢節經文及其喺公元前200年嘅應驗,不單係一個試驗人嘅真理;佢亦指明推羅嘅淫婦(即現代羅馬)係喺何時開始唱出佢撒但嘅歌,並指出教皇制度進入末日歷史,因此就代表咗末後日子最主要嘅試驗真理,而呢一點乃與米勒派歷史中辯論所代表嘅試驗真理相一致。
The three verses also represent the line of the Republican horn of the earth beast, and identify the prophetic steps of Donald Trump as he enters into his second term as the eighth president that is of the seven presidents, in a line of presidents that began with Ronald Reagan at the time of the end in 1989. After the Battle of Raphia of verse twelve, “Antiochus” first suppresses a rebellion within the United States, then prepares for a war against globalism, represented by Egypt in the Battle of Panium. Trump wins that war, but the war initiates World War Three (Actium). These activities were typified by Antiochus III Magnus, who had been defeated by Egypt at the Battle of Raphia, but would victoriously retaliate at the Battle of Panium.
呢三節經文同時代表地獸之共和黨角嘅路線,並指出唐納德·特朗普作為七位總統之中所出嘅第八位總統,喺其第二任任期展開之際所經歷嘅預言步驟;而呢條總統嘅路線,係由羅納德·里根於一九八九年末時開始。於第十二節所述拉非亞之戰之後,「安提阿古」首先鎮壓美國內部嘅一場叛亂,然後預備同全球主義開戰;喺帕尼烏姆之戰中,埃及乃係全球主義嘅表徵。特朗普贏得呢場戰爭,但呢場戰爭卻引發第三次世界大戰(亞克興)。呢啲行動,乃由安提阿古三世大帝所預表;佢曾於拉非亞之戰敗於埃及,卻會喺帕尼烏姆之戰中得勝報復。
In verse thirteen, “after a number of years,” Antiochus Magnus, as Uriah Smith states, “Antiochus,” “having suppressed rebellion in his kingdom, and reduced and settled the eastern parts in their obedience, was at leisure for any enterprise when young Epiphanes came to the throne of Egypt; and thinking this too good an opportunity for enlarging his dominion to be let slip, he raised an immense army “greater than the former”. Trump will first suppress a rebellion in his kingdom, and then prepare a larger army than he had when he was previously defeated. Trump was defeated in 2020, in fulfillment of Revelation chapter eleven, when the beast of atheism, representing worldwide globalism, and the globalists of both the Democratic and the Republican parties stole the election, and as a the primary proxy army of the whore of Tyre it will be also a defeat when Putin will be victorious over the Ukraine.
喺第十三節,「過咗若干年之後」,正如烏利亞·史密夫所講:「安提阿古」,「喺平定咗佢國中嘅叛亂,並使東方各地歸服、安頓妥當之後,當年輕嘅以皮法尼登上埃及王位之時,佢便得閒可以從事任何事業;而佢認為呢個乃係擴張自己版圖嘅大好機會,不可錯失,於是佢招聚咗一支龐大嘅軍隊,『比先前更大』。」特朗普將首先平定佢國中嘅叛亂,然後預備一支比佢先前戰敗之時更大嘅軍隊。特朗普喺2020年被擊敗,係應驗《啟示錄》第十一章;當時無神論嘅獸,代表全球性嘅全球主義,以及民主黨同共和黨兩黨之中嘅全球主義者,竊取咗選舉;並且,作為推羅淫婦嘅主要代理軍隊之一,當普京勝過烏克蘭之時,呢亦將會係一次失敗。
The third prophetic line in the three verses we are considering is the line of apostate Protestantism, as represented by the line of the Maccabees, and their revolt against Antiochus Epiphanes’ attempts to force the religion of Greece upon the Jews. The line of Trump and the line of apostate Protestantism represent the two powers that will ultimately merge into the horn represented as the image of the beast. Verses thirteen through fifteen represent the history that leads to the Sunday law, and the two lines of apostate Protestantism and apostate Republicanism illustrate the interplay of the two powers as they come together and merge Church and State in advance of the Sunday law.
我哋現正考慮嘅三節經文之中,第三條先知性嘅脈絡,乃係背道新教嘅脈絡;而呢條脈絡乃由馬加比一系所代表,並藉住佢哋反抗安提阿古‧以皮法尼企圖將希臘宗教強加於猶太人之上而表明出嚟。特朗普嘅脈絡同背道新教嘅脈絡,代表咗最終將會合而為一、成為嗰隻獸像所代表之角嘅兩股勢力。第十三至第十五節代表通向星期日法案嘅歷史,而背道新教同背道共和主義呢兩條脈絡,說明咗呢兩股勢力如何彼此互動,並喺星期日法案之前走埋一齊,將教會同國家合併。
In past articles we have identified that the three events represented by the dates of 1776, 1789 and 1798, which represent the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Alien and Sedition Acts, and which identify a period that led to the beginning of the earth beast as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. For this reason those three waymarks represent three waymarks that lead to the ending of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. We have identified that the twenty-two years that span 1776 unto 1798, symbolize the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for the number twenty-two is a symbol of the combination of divinity with humanity.
喺過往嘅文章入面,我哋已經指出,由1776、1789同1798呢三個日期所代表嘅三件事件,即《獨立宣言》、憲法,以及《外僑法》同《煽動叛亂法》,標示出一段導向地上獸作為聖經預言之第六國開始嘅時期。基於呢個原因,呢三個里程碑亦代表三個導向聖經預言之第六國終結嘅里程碑。我哋已經指出,由1776年至1798所跨越嘅二十二年,象徵十四萬四千人受印嘅時期,因為數目二十二乃係神性同人性結合嘅象徵。
We have identified the history as bearing the signature of “Truth,” for the first and last waymarks represent independence established and independence removed. All three waymarks represent the primary symbol of the earth beast, for they all represent the speaking of the United States, for the “speaking of a nation is an action of the legislative and judicial authorities.” The middle waymark of 1789 and the Constitution was ratified by thirteen colonies, and the middle letter in the Hebrew word “Truth,” is the thirteenth. The twenty-two years from 1776 unto 1798 also align with the twenty-two letters that make up the Hebrew alphabet.
我哋已經確認呢段歷史帶有「真理」嘅印記,因為首尾兩個路標分別代表所建立嘅獨立同被除去嘅獨立。三個路標都代表地上獸嘅主要表號,因為佢哋都代表美國嘅說話;因為「一個國家嘅說話,乃係立法同司法當局嘅行動。」中間嗰個路標——1789年同《憲法》——係由十三個殖民地所批准,而希伯來文「真理」一詞中間嗰個字母,正係第十三個。由1776年至1798年嘅二十二年,亦同構成希伯來字母表嘅二十二個字母相對應。
We have also identified that the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 represent the point where the United States speaks as a dragon. The history of the league of the Jews with Rome, that is part of the line of apostate Protestantism in verses thirteen to fifteen of Daniel eleven, represents a period when the image of the beast is formed, and the formation of that image is the final test for the one hundred and forty-four thousand. It is the test they must pass before they are sealed. The league of the Jews from 161 BC to 158 BC is therefore a serious element of the test where those called to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand is accomplished.
我哋亦已經辨認到,1798年嘅《外僑法》同《煽動叛亂法》代表美國開始如龍說話嘅時點。猶太人與羅馬結盟嘅歷史,亦即但以理書十一章第十三至十五節所描繪之背道新教路線之一部分,代表獸像被形成嘅一段時期;而嗰獸像嘅形成,乃係對十四萬四千人最後嘅試驗。呢個就係佢哋喺受印之前必須通過嘅考驗。因此,猶太人由公元前161年至公元前158年所結成嘅聯盟,乃係一項嚴肅嘅試驗要素,藉此嗰啲蒙召要列於十四萬四千人之中者得以成全。
To accept that 161 BC to 158 BC represents a period of time being symbolized by the league of the Jews, opposes the teaching of history, for the historians teach the league was 161 BC while the Millerites taught it was 158 BC, and their conviction of that fact is represented upon both sacred charts.
若接受公元前161年至公元前158年乃象徵由猶太人所結成之聯盟的一段時期,便是反對歷史的教訓,因為歷史學家教導該聯盟是在公元前161年,而米勒派則教導是在公元前158年;而他們對此事實的確信,亦表現在兩幅神聖圖表之上。
The question is not alone whether the historians are correct in dating 161 BC for the league of the Jews, or if the Millerites were correct in identifying 158 BC. In either of those two choices there is a group which would agree with your choice. The question is whether both the historians and the Millerites are correct, and that the truth concerning the league with the Jews actually represents a period of time, as opposed to one of two possible singular points in history.
問題並不單單在於:歷史學家將猶太人立盟之事定於公元前161年是否正確,抑或米勒派將之認定為公元前158年是否正確。無論你在這兩個選擇之中取哪一個立場,總會有一群人同意你的選擇。問題乃在於:歷史學家與米勒派是否兩者都正確,而關乎與猶太人立盟之真相,實際上所代表的乃是一段時期,而不是歷史上兩個可能的單一時點之一。
In previous articles we have provided what we believe to be valid sanctified logic that the league with Rome and the Jews represents a period from 161 BC unto 158 BC, and that the period typifies the formation of the image of the beast. This being the case, even the determination to accept that the league of the Jews with Rome is a period of time, becomes a test, and in that prophetic sense it agrees with the fact that the formation of the image of the beast is the “great test for the people of God.”
喺先前嘅文章之中,我哋已經提出咗我哋所相信乃屬有效而成聖之邏輯:羅馬同猶太人所立嘅同盟,代表由公元前161年至公元前158年嘅一段時期,而呢段時期預表獸像嘅形成。既然如此,咁樣,甚至連決意接受猶太人與羅馬所立之同盟乃係一段時期,本身都成為一個試驗;而喺呢個預言性嘅意義上,佢亦同以下事實相一致:獸像嘅形成乃係「上帝子民所要面對嘅大試驗」。
That being said, 158 BC identifies when the league between the apostate Jews known as the Maccabees was firmly established with Rome, and thus typifies the Sunday law, for the Bible asks the rhetorical question, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” 158 BC identifies where and when apostate Protestantism joins hands with the papal power, and the period which began in 161 BC that led to 158 BC identifies the period of time that is representing the formation of the image of the beast. It is essential to recognize that the period is identifying when apostate Protestantism will join with apostate Republicanism. Both of those apostate powers are represented in verses thirteen through fifteen, so they share some common waymarks.
話雖如此,主前158年指出咗嗰個時候:被稱為馬加比人嘅背道猶太人同羅馬之間嘅同盟已經穩固確立,因此佢預表主日法;因為聖經提出呢個反詰嘅問題:「二人若不同心,豈能同行呢?」主前158年指出背道新教喺何處、幾時與教皇權勢聯手;而由主前161年開始、引至主前158年嗰段時期,就指出咗一段時間,呢段時間乃係代表獸像嘅形成。必須認明,呢段時期所指出嘅,乃係背道新教將要與背道嘅共和主義聯合嘅時候。呢兩種背道嘅權勢都喺第十三至第十五節之中有所表徵,因此佢哋共享一啲共同嘅路標。
It is correct to apply 1776, 1789 and 1798 as typifying September 11, 2001, followed by the Pelosi Trials of the false flag movement associated with January 6, 2021, and the inaugural period of Biden’s stolen election, that leads to the Sunday law. In the application the Patriot Act of 2001, aligning with the Declaration of Independence, presents a waymark identifying the beginning of the removal of independence. Then the second waymark of the kangaroo court of Pelosi and Schiff aligning with the ratification of the Constitution, thus typifying the beginning of the overturning of the Constitution, followed by the third waymark of the Alien and Sedition Acts representing the United States speaking as a dragon. To apply these waymarks in this fashion is to identify the waymarks of apostate Protestantism as represented by the Maccabees.
將1776、1789同1798應用為預表2001年9月11日,隨後係與2021年1月6日有關之假旗運動中的佩洛西審訊,以及拜登被竊選舉嘅就職時期,而呢一切乃引向星期日法,呢種應用係正確嘅。喺呢個應用之中,2001年嘅《愛國者法案》,與《獨立宣言》相對應,呈現出一個路標,標明廢除獨立之開始。其後第二個路標,乃佩洛西同希夫之袋鼠法庭,與《憲法》之批准相對應,因此預表推翻《憲法》之開始;再隨後第三個路標,乃《外僑法與煽動法》,代表美利堅合眾國如龍發聲。以此方式應用呢啲路標,即係辨認出背道新教之路標,正如馬加比所代表者一樣。
At another level, to identify the three waymarks in association with apostate Republicanism produces a slightly different application. September 11, 2001 aligns with 1776, but 1789, for apostate Republicanism, aligns with the Alien and Sedition Acts, and establishes a distinction between those “acts” and the speaking of the dragon, that is represented by Sunday enforcement. When the two lines are placed together in the context of the image of the beast test, they form the prophetic structure of the setting up of the image of the beast, and the great test for the people of God is the formation of the image of the beast. For the people of God, the formation of the image of the beast, must first be recognized as it is represented (formed) in God’s Word, in order for those last-day people to recognize that formation in the political and religious world.
喺另一個層面上,若將呢三個路標點同背道嘅共和主義聯繫起來加以識別,便會產生一種稍為唔同嘅應用。2001年9月11日對應1776年;但對於背道嘅共和主義而言,1789年則對應《外僑法與煽動叛亂法》,並且喺嗰啲「法案」同龍說話之間立下一個區別;而龍說話,乃係由星期日法令嘅執行所表徵。當呢兩條路線喺獸像試驗嘅語境中並列起來之時,佢哋便構成咗設立獸像嘅預言結構;而上帝子民所面對嘅重大試驗,就係獸像嘅形成。對上帝嘅子民而言,獸像嘅形成,必須首先按照上帝聖言中所表徵(形成)嘅方式被認出,為要使嗰啲末日嘅子民能夠喺政治同宗教世界中認出呢個形成。
So how could the Pelosi Trials of January 6, 2021 align with the Alien and Sedition Acts? The Pelosi Trials mark the celebration by the beast of the bottomless pit who had just slain the rich president who had stirred up globalism. That history of celebration began with the period of Biden’s inauguration and it represents a period that ends with Trump’s second inauguration. It should be noted that Trump campaigns for president three times, and in the first and last he wins, but in the middle his victory was stolen by the power that the Scripture identifies as the father of lies. The Pelosi Trials that began with the stolen election identify a second set of revenge Pelosi Trials that begin when Trump is inaugurated January 20, 2025.
咁樣,2021年1月6日嘅佩洛西審訊,又點樣能夠同《外僑法》及《煽動叛亂法》相互對應呢?佩洛西審訊,標誌住無底坑之獸嘅慶賀;呢隻獸啱啱殺咗嗰位曾經煽動全球主義嘅富有總統。呢段慶賀嘅歷史,始於拜登就職嘅時期,並且代表一段喺特朗普第二次就職時終結嘅時期。應當留意,特朗普曾三次競選總統,而喺第一次同最後一次之中,佢都得勝;但喺中間嗰一次,佢嘅勝利卻被聖經所指出為謊言之父嘅勢力所偷去。由被偷去嘅選舉而開始嘅佩洛西審訊,指明另一組報復性嘅佩洛西審訊;呢一組審訊將於2025年1月20日特朗普就職之時開始。
The period of the term of Joe Biden’s presidency begins with a series of Pelosi Trials and it ends with a series of Pelosi Trials. Both are political trials, but those prosecuted in the second set of trials are those who led out in the first trials. At Trump’s second inauguration the year 164 BC is marked. Trump’s second inauguration is typified by 164 BC, and the rededicating the Jewish temple represents the rededication of the political temple for a second time.
祖·拜登總統任期嘅時期,係以一連串佩洛西審訊開始,亦都以一連串佩洛西審訊結束。兩者都係政治審訊,不過喺第二組審訊當中被起訴嘅人,正係喺第一組審訊中帶頭嘅人。喺特朗普第二次就職之時,公元前164年被標示出嚟。特朗普第二次就職係以公元前164年作為預表,而猶太聖殿嘅重新奉獻,則代表政治聖殿第二次重新奉獻。
That was the very year that Antiochus Epiphanes died, and he was the power who pushed the religious practices of Greece upon the Jews, thus causing the Maccabean revolt of 167 BC. At Trump’s second inauguration in 2025, the religion of Greece (globalism) will be fully subdued in the United States, and satanic miracles will begin to empower the work of bringing Church and State together. At that point Trump will sign executive orders that parallel the Alien and Sedition Acts, thus marking the beginning of the formation of the image of the beast (161 BC), and he will begin the second series of Pelosi Trials. The Alien and Sedition Acts mark the beginning of the period of the formation of the image of the beast, and that period ends at the Sunday law, as typified by 158 BC.
嗰一年正正就係安提阿古四世‧以彼芬尼去世之年;佢就係嗰個將希臘嘅宗教實踐強加喺猶太人身上嘅勢力,因此引發咗主前167年嘅馬加比起義。到咗特朗普於2025年第二次就職之時,希臘嘅宗教(全球主義)將會喺美國被完全制伏,而撒但嘅神蹟奇事將開始為促成教會同國家合而為一嘅工作提供能力。到嗰個時候,特朗普將會簽署與《外僑法》同《煽動叛亂法》相對應嘅行政命令,從而標誌住獸像形成嘅開始(主前161年),並且佢將開始第二輪佩洛西審訊。《外僑法》同《煽動叛亂法》標誌住獸像形成時期嘅開始,而嗰段時期會喺星期日法令之時結束,正如主前158年所預表嘅一樣。
Thus, the period that is the formation of the image of the beast begins with the “acts” that allow Trump to shut down the mainstream media, expel illegal aliens and arrest and bring to trial those who are involved with the conspiracy of the Democratic party. The beginning of the period marks the political persecution brought by Trump and it ends with religious persecution.
因此,獸像形成嘅時期,係由嗰啲使特朗普得以關閉主流媒體、驅逐非法外來者,並拘捕及審訊嗰啲牽涉民主黨陰謀之人嘅「行動」開始。呢段時期嘅起頭,標誌住由特朗普所帶來嘅政治迫害;而佢嘅終結,則以宗教迫害作結。
In this sense the middle waymark of 1789 and the Constitution, is the Pelosi Trials of 2021, which represent a period that ends with the same history as at the beginning, but the last set of Pelosi Trials is a political reversal of those who are currently being prosecuted and imprisoned. The second waymark in the line of apostate Protestantism is the Pelosi Trials that encompass the presidency of Joe Biden, and the period ends in January 2025, when the waymark of 1789, in the line of apostate Republicanism, arrives on January 20, 2025, with the executive orders that immediately follow Trump’s second inauguration. That begins a period with the nation speaking as a dragon (Alien and Sedition Acts), that leads to the Sunday law where the nation speaks as a dragon. In that period the Constitution, represented by 1789, is progressively overturned.
從呢個意義上講,1789 同《憲法》呢個中間路標,就係 2021 年嘅 Pelosi Trials;佢哋象徵一段時期,而呢段時期嘅終結會同起頭時嘅歷史相同;但最後一組 Pelosi Trials,乃係對現今正被起訴同監禁之人所作出嘅政治逆轉。喺背道新教嘅路線中,第二個路標係 Pelosi Trials,呢段時期涵蓋 Joe Biden 嘅總統任期,並喺 2025 年 1 月結束;屆時,喺背道共和主義嘅路線中,1789 呢個路標會於 2025 年 1 月 20 日來到,伴隨住 Trump 第二次就職後隨即頒布嘅行政命令。呢件事開始一段時期,國家如龍發聲(Alien and Sedition Acts),並引向星期日法案,喺嗰時國家如龍發聲。喺呢段時期之內,由 1789 所代表嘅《憲法》會被逐步推翻。
At Trump’s second inauguration he becomes the eighth president that is of the seven, and the formation of the image of the beast identifies how the apostate horns of Protestantism and Republicanism come together as one horn, with the Protestants in control of the relationship. In the very same history those who have been called to be the one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed in advance of being lifted up as the horn of true Protestantism at the soon coming Sunday law.
喺特朗普第二次就職典禮之時,佢成為「那七位中嘅第八位」總統;而獸像嘅形成,指出背道嘅角——新教同共和主義——如何合而為一,成為一隻角,並且由新教徒掌控呢種關係。喺同一段歷史之中,嗰啲蒙召成為十四萬四千人嘅,喺不久將臨嘅星期日法案中被高舉為真正新教之角之前,已先被印證。
The sealing message that is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which is unsealed just before probation closes, is that portion of Daniel that relates to the last days. That portion which is unsealed is the hidden history of Daniel eleven verse forty, and verses thirteen to fifteen align with that hidden history. Therefore, the message that is unsealed just before probation closes, that has been typified by the hidden prophetic message of Nebuchadnezzar’s image of the beasts, is the very message of the joining of the two sticks of the apostate horns of Protestantism and Republicanism represented by the Maccabees and Antiochus III in verse thirteen through fifteen.
嗰個封印嘅信息,就係耶穌基督嘅啟示;呢個啟示喺恩典時期結束之前啱啱被揭開,乃係但以理書中關乎末後日子嘅嗰一部分。嗰一部分被揭開嘅內容,乃係但以理書十一章四十節所隱藏嘅歷史,而第十三至十五節亦與呢段隱藏嘅歷史相互對應。因此,嗰個喺恩典時期結束之前啱啱被揭開、並由尼布甲尼撒獸像之隱藏先知信息所預表嘅信息,正正就係兩根杖相連結嘅信息;呢兩根杖就係新教同共和主義背道之角,而佢哋喺第十三至十五節中乃由馬加比同安提阿古三世所代表。
The message identifying the formation of the image of the beast, is the message that conveys the sanctification that seals the true Protestant horn.
指出獸像之形成嘅信息,就係傳達嗰使真正新教之角受印記嘅成聖信息。
In verse fourteen, in the year 200 BC, pagan Rome is first introduced into the prophetic narrative, as it rose up to protect the new infant king of Egypt, from an alliance against Egypt that had been formed by Antiochus III and Philip of Macedon. That year the Battle of Panium was carried out by Antiochus III against Ptolemy V. The introduction of the robbers of thy people, who establish the vision, an alliance between Antiochus and Philip, and the Battle of Panium all took place that year. Therefore, the waymark identifies an alliance between Antiochus, who typifies the Republican horn of the earth beast, and Philip of Macedon, the ancient name for Greece, typifying the United Nations.
喺第十四節,於公元前二百年,異教羅馬首次被引入先知性嘅敘述之中;當時佢興起,要保護埃及新立嘅幼王,免受安提阿哥三世同馬其頓嘅腓力所結成、用嚟攻擊埃及嘅同盟所害。嗰一年,帕尼翁之戰由安提阿哥三世向托勒密五世發動。你民中嘅強暴人——即建立異象者——嘅出現、安提阿哥同腓力之間嘅同盟,以及帕尼翁之戰,全部都發生於嗰一年。因此,呢個路標指出安提阿哥同馬其頓嘅腓力之間嘅一個同盟;安提阿哥預表地獸屬世之角中嘅共和制之角,而馬其頓嘅腓力——希臘嘅古名——則預表聯合國。
At the prophetic level, at the Battle of Panium an alliance between the dragon (Macedon) and the false prophet (USA) takes place. The underlying motivation for the alliance was to divide up the domain of Egypt, which would represent a collapsing Russia.
喺預言嘅層面上,喺帕尼烏姆之戰中,龍(馬其頓)同假先知(美國)之間結成聯盟。呢個聯盟背後嘅動機,乃係要瓜分埃及嘅版圖;埃及所代表嘅,將會係一個正在崩潰嘅俄羅斯。
When Jesus took His disciples to Panium, it was then named Caesarea Philippi. Herod the Great’s grandson, Herod Philippi had accomplished the restoration of the city and named it after Caesar Augustus and himself, thus Caesarea Philippi. Their relationship represents Rome with Rome, but Philippi is a lesser Rome in relation to Caesar, and at the prophetic level Herod Philippi represents Salome, the daughter of Herodias. Therefore, with the name Caesarea Philippi we find Herod Philippi representing the false prophet, and Caesar representing the papacy.
當耶穌帶祂的門徒到帕尼烏姆的時候,那地方當時名叫該撒利亞腓立比。希律大帝的孫子希律腓立比完成了該城的重建,並以凱撒奧古斯都同自己嘅名字為之命名,因此稱為該撒利亞腓立比。佢哋之間嘅關係,表徵羅馬與羅馬;但相對於凱撒而言,腓立比係一個較次一等嘅羅馬,而喺先知性嘅層面上,希律腓立比代表希羅底個女撒羅米。因此,從「該撒利亞腓立比」呢個名稱入面,我哋見到希律腓立比代表假先知,而凱撒代表教皇制度。
Panium’s prophetic history therefore sets forth two alliances, one where the false prophet (Trump) joins hands with the dragon (the United Nations), and the other where the false prophet (Trump) joins hands with the papacy (Caesar). In verse sixteen the Sunday law is represented, and it is there where the threefold union is implemented, but the arrangement was actually put in place prior to the Sunday law, in verse fifteen and the Battle of Panium.
因此,帕尼翁嘅預言歷史提出咗兩個聯盟:一個係假先知(特朗普)同龍(聯合國)聯手;另一個係假先知(特朗普)同教皇制(凱撒)聯手。喺第十六節,星期日法被表明出嚟,而正係喺嗰度,三重聯合被實施;但其實呢個安排早喺星期日法之前,即喺第十五節同帕尼翁之戰當中,已經被設立。
“By the decree enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.
「藉着一項強制設立教皇制度、違背上帝律法的法令,我國將會完全與公義斷絕關係。當新教伸手越過鴻溝,去握住羅馬勢力的手;當她越過深淵,與招魂術握手;當在這三方面聯合的影響之下,我國作為一個新教及共和政體的國家,將摒棄其憲法的一切原則,並為傳播教皇制度的謬誤與迷惑作出安排之時,我們便可以知道,撒但奇異作為的時候已經來到,而末日也近了。」《教會證言》卷5,451頁。
We will continue this study in our next article.
我哋將會喺下一篇文章繼續呢項研讀。
“Revelation is not the creation or invention of something new, but the manifestation of what was, until revealed, unknown to human beings. The great and eternal truths contained in the gospel are revealed through diligent searching and humbling of ourselves before God. The divine Teacher leads the mind of the humble seeker for truth; and by the Holy Spirit’s guidance, the truths of the Word are made known to him. And there can be no more certain and efficient way of knowledge than in being thus guided. The promise of the Saviour was, ‘When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth.’ It is through the impartation of the Holy Spirit that we are made to understand the Word of God.
「啟示並非創造或發明某種新事物,而是把在人類尚未得知之前本來已存在之事顯明出來。福音中所包含偉大而永恆的真理,乃是藉着殷勤查考,並在上帝面前自卑,才得以啟示。神聖的教師引導那謙卑尋求真理之人的心思;並且藉着聖靈的引導,使他得以明白聖言中的真理。再沒有比這樣受引導更確實、更有效的得知之道了。救主的應許乃是:『只等真理的聖靈來了,他要引導你們進入一切的真理。』我們乃是藉着聖靈的賜予,才得以明白上帝的話語。」
“The psalmist writes, ‘Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. . . . Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.’
詩人寫道:「少年人用甚麼潔淨他的行為呢?是要遵行你的話。我一心尋求了你;求你不要叫我偏離你的誡命……求你開我的眼睛,使我看出你律法中的奇妙。」
“We are admonished to seek for the truth as for hid treasure. The Lord opens the understanding of the true seeker after truth; and the Holy Spirit enables him to grasp the truths of revelation. This is what the psalmist means when he asks that his eyes may be opened to behold wondrous things out of the law. When the soul pants after the excellencies of Jesus Christ, the mind is enabled to grasp the glories of the better world. Only by the aid of the divine Teacher can we understand the truths of the Word of God. In Christ’s school we learn to be meek and lowly because there is given to us an understanding of the mysteries of godliness.
「我哋受勸勉,要尋求真理,如同尋找隱藏嘅珍寶一樣。主向真正尋求真理嘅人開啟悟性;而聖靈使佢能夠領會啟示中嘅真理。呢個就係詩人求主開佢雙眼,叫佢得以看見律法中奇妙之事嘅意思。當心靈渴慕耶穌基督嘅美德之時,心思就得以領悟那更美世界嘅榮耀。惟有藉着神聖教師嘅幫助,我哋先至能夠明白上帝聖言中嘅真理。在基督嘅學校裏,我哋學習溫柔謙卑,因為我哋得蒙賜下對敬虔奧祕嘅悟性。」
“He who inspired the Word was the true expositor of the Word. Christ illustrated his teachings by calling the attention of his hearers to the simple laws of nature, and to the familiar objects which they daily saw and handled. Thus he led their minds from the natural to the spiritual. Many failed of grasping at once the meaning of his parables; but as they day by day came in contact with the objects with which the Great Teacher had associated spiritual truths, some discerned the lessons of divine truth he had sought to impress, and these were convinced of the truth of his mission and converted to the gospel.” Sabbath School Worker, December 1, 1909.
「默示聖言的那一位,乃是聖言真正的詮釋者。基督藉着使聽眾留意自然界中簡樸的定律,以及他們每日所見所接觸的尋常事物,來闡明他的教訓。如此,他便引導他們的心思由自然轉向屬靈。許多人未能立時領會他比喻的意義;但當他們日復一日接觸那些偉大的教師曾用以聯繫屬靈真理的事物時,有些人便看出了他所力圖銘刻於人心的神聖真理之教訓;這些人也就確信他使命的真實,並歸信福音。」《Sabbath School Worker》,1909年12月1日。
