It has been a long process for me to get to this point in the study of Panium, and the title “Eleven, Eleven” is meant to emphasize that the Lion of the tribe of Judah coordinated both the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation to set forth the internal and external lines of the history of the sealing of God’s people in the eleventh chapter and eleventh verse. Just before probation closes a command to unseal the prophecy in Revelation that was sealed until the time when the internal and external prophetic histories represented by the two lines of eleven—eleven, found in the books of Daniel and Revelation became present truth.

在研究帕尼乌姆的过程中,我花了很长时间才走到这一步,而题目“十一,十一”的用意,是要强调“犹大支派的狮子”将《但以理书》和《启示录》加以协调,在十一章第十一节中呈现上帝子民受封印历史的内在与外在两条线索。在恩典期结束之前不久,会有一道命令,要解封《启示录》中那预言;那预言原本被封住,直等到见于《但以理书》和《启示录》的“十一—十一”两条线所代表的内外预言历史成为现时真理之时。

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. Revelation 22:10, 11.

他又对我说:不可封住这书上预言的话,因为时候近了。不义的,任凭他仍旧不义;污秽的,任凭他仍旧污秽;义的,任凭他仍旧行义;圣洁的,任凭他仍旧圣洁。启示录 22:10、11。

The “time is at hand” just before the close of probation, and the “time is at hand” when the “Revelation of Jesus Christ” is unsealed.

“时候近了”就在试炼期结束之前;当“耶稣基督的启示”被解封之时,也同样是“时候近了”。

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Revelation 1:1–3.

耶稣基督的启示,是上帝赐给他的,为要把不久将要发生的事指示他的众仆人;他又借着天使把这启示传给他的仆人约翰。约翰为上帝的话、为耶稣基督的见证,以及他所看见的一切作了见证。念这书的人,和那些听见这预言的话并遵守其中所记载的,都是有福的,因为时候临近了。启示录 1:1-3。

When the Lion of the tribe of Judah unseals the “Revelation of Jesus Christ” as He has been doing since the arrival of the message of the Midnight Cry in July of 2023, that unsealing includes the revelation that He is “Palmoni,” the Wonderful Numberer, or the Numberer of Secrets. Failure to accept this truth is to fail the testing process which seals the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

当犹大支派的狮子解开“耶稣基督的启示”的封印——正如自2023年7月“午夜呼声”的信息到来以来他一直在这样做——那次解封也包括这样的启示:他就是“Palmoni”,那位“奇妙的数算者”,亦即“隐秘之事的数算者”。不接受这一真理,就是未能通过使十四万四千人受印的考验过程。

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Matthew 3:11, 12.

我用水给你们施洗,使你们悔改;但那在我以后来的,能力比我更大,我连给他提鞋也不配;他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。他手里拿着簸箕,必要扬净他的场,把麦子收在仓里;却用不灭的火把糠秕烧尽。马太福音3:11、12。

“Just how soon this refining process will begin I cannot say, but it will not be long deferred. He whose fan is in His hand will cleanse His temple of its moral defilement. He will thoroughly purge His floor.” Testimonies to Ministers, 372, 373.

“这炼净的过程究竟会多快开始,我无法说,但它不会拖延太久。那位手里拿着簸箕的,必洁净祂的殿,使其脱离道德的污秽。祂要彻底扬净祂的禾场。”《给传道人的证言》,第372、373页。

The lines of prophecy which identify the time of the sealing as a prophetic testing process are more than abundant. It is clear that the testing process is based upon the students aptitude and ability to apply the correct or incorrect methodology for studying God’s prophetic Word. This truth is also abundantly set forth within the inspired record.

将封印之时界定为一项先知性考验过程的预言线索,多不胜数。显然,这一考验过程以学习者的资质,以及他们在研读上帝的先知性话语时运用正确或错误方法论的能力为基础。这一真理在受启示的记载中也有充分的陈述。

As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm. Daniel 1:17–20.

至于这四个少年人,神赐给他们在各样学问和智慧上知识与才干;但以理又能明白一切异象和梦。到王所规定要带他们进来的日子满了,太监长就把他们带到尼布甲尼撒面前。王与他们交谈,发现在众人中没有一个像但以理、哈拿尼雅、米沙利和亚撒利雅的,因此他们侍立在王前。王在凡一切向他们所询问的智慧和见识的事上,见他们比他全国所有的术士和占星家强十倍。但以理书 1:17-20。

A premier rule of prophetic interpretation is that truth is established upon the testimony of two, and those who fail to have confidence in the principle are setting themselves up for failure. An element of the testing process during the sealing time, involves the recognition of the connection of the internal and external histories represented in chapter eleven and verse eleven by Daniel and John.

预言诠释的首要法则是:真理凭两人的见证而立;对这一原则缺乏信心的人是在为失败铺路。封印时期的试炼过程中的一个要素,是要认识到但以理与约翰在第十一章第十一节中所呈现的内部与外部历史之间的联系。

“Revelation is a sealed book, but it is also an opened book. It records marvelous events that are to take place in the last days of this earth’s history. The teachings of this book are definite, not mystical and unintelligible. In it the same line of prophecy is taken up as in Daniel. Some prophecies God has repeated, thus showing that importance must be given to them. The Lord does not repeat things that are of no great consequence.” Manuscript Releases, volume 9, 8.

“《启示录》是一本封住的书,但它也是一本展开的书。它记录了将在这世界历史的末期发生的奇妙事件。这本书的教训是明确的,并非玄秘难懂。其中所延续的预言脉络与《但以理书》相同。上帝重复了一些预言,藉此表明必须重视它们。主不会重复那些无足轻重的事。” 《文稿发布》,第9卷,第8页。

The books of Daniel and Revelation represent two witnesses, and the one hundred and forty-four thousand are represented as two witnesses in Revelation chapter eleven. In verse eleven of the chapter the two witnesses, represented by Elijah and Moses are resurrected as typified by both John in the boiling oil and Daniel in the lion’s den. The one hundred and forty-four thousand are represented by Daniel and John, and also by Elijah and Moses. To succeed in the testing process which produces the one hundred and forty-four thousand a student must understand that truth is established upon two witnesses, and that the books of Daniel and Revelation represent two witnesses, and that the one hundred and forty-four thousand have been typified as Elijah and Moses and also Daniel and John.

《但以理书》和《启示录》代表两位见证人,而在《启示录》第十一章中,十四万四千人也被象征为两位见证人。本章第十一节说,这两位见证人——由以利亚和摩西所代表——复活了;这复活由约翰被投入沸油以及但以理在狮子坑中的经历所预表。十四万四千人由但以理和约翰所代表,也由以利亚和摩西所代表。要在产生十四万四千人的试炼过程中得胜,学生必须明白:真理是建立在两位见证人之上的;《但以理书》和《启示录》代表两位见证人;并且十四万四千人曾被以利亚和摩西,以及但以理和约翰所预表。

These truths are only a brief sampling of prophetic truths associated with the internal and external history represented by “eleven, eleven” in both Daniel and Revelation. As Palmoni, Christ guided in the alignment of the two passages, and also that eleven, plus eleven equals twenty-two, which in turn is a tithe or tenth of two hundred and twenty, which is a symbol of the combination of divinity with humanity. Palmoni established upon more than two witnesses that “two hundred and twenty” represents the combination of divinity and humanity, which is in turn a description of the incarnation of Christ when He took upon Himself fallen flesh. In doing so He set forth the example for mankind that if they are willing to meet the requirements of the gospel, Christ is willing to combine His divinity with our humanity. Divinity and humanity are therefore two witnesses.

这些真理只是与《但以理书》和《启示录》中以“十一、十一”所代表的内外历史相关的预言真理的一个简要取样。作为 Palmoni,基督引导两段经文彼此对应,并指出十一加十一等于二十二,而二十二又是二百二十的什一或十分之一,而二百二十则象征神性与人性的结合。Palmoni 借着超过两位见证人确立,“二百二十”代表神性与人性的结合,而这又是在描述基督在自己承担堕落肉身时的道成肉身。如此,祂为人类树立了榜样:若人愿意满足福音的要求,基督就愿意将祂的神性与我们的人性联合。因此,神性与人性就是两位见证人。

The “Revelation of Jesus Christ” that opened up just before probation closes includes that Jesus is the “Word” of God.

在恩典期结束之前刚刚开启的“耶稣基督的启示”,其中包括:耶稣是上帝的“道”。

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:1–5.

太初有道,道与神同在,道就是神。这道太初与神同在。万物是借着他造的;凡被造的,没有一样不是借着他造的。生命在他里面;这生命就是人的光。光照在黑暗里;黑暗却不明白它。约翰福音 1:1-5。

The Bible is the “Word” of God which, just as Christ represents the combination of divinity with humanity. The Bible represents the two witnesses of the Old and New Testaments, who are also Moses and Elijah in Revelation chapter eleven.

圣经是神的“话语”,它正如基督一样,体现了神性与人性的结合。圣经代表旧约与新约这两个见证人,他们也就是《启示录》第十一章中的摩西和以利亚。

“Concerning the two witnesses the prophet declares further: ‘These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.’ ‘Thy word,’ said the psalmist, ‘is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.’ Revelation 11:4; Psalm 119:105. The two witnesses represent the Scriptures of the Old and the New Testament.” The Great Controversy, 267.

关于这两位见证人,先知又宣告:“这就是那两棵橄榄树,并那两座灯台,立在地上的上帝面前。” 诗人说:“你的话是我脚前的灯,是我路上的光。” 启示录11:4;诗篇119:105。这两位见证人代表旧约和新约的圣经。《善恶之争》,267页。

The two witnesses are the two olive trees, the two candlesticks and the Old and New Testaments, which is represented in the paragraph as “Thy word.” The “Revelation of Jesus Christ” that is unsealed by the Lion of the tribe of Judah just before the close of probation is “the final increase of knowledge” which tests those who are candidates to be one of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The “final increase of knowledge” is also the message of the Midnight Cry in the parable of the ten virgins.

这两位见证人就是两棵橄榄树、两个灯台,以及旧约和新约;这在该段落中被表述为“Thy word”。 在恩典期结束之前,由犹大支派的狮子揭开封印的“耶稣基督的启示”,就是“最终的知识增多”,用以考验那些有望成为十四万四千人之一的人。 这“最终的知识增多”也是十个童女比喻中“半夜的呼声”的信息。

“‘Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. Zechariah 4:11–14. These empty themselves into the golden bowls, which represent the hearts of the living messengers of God, who bear the Word of the Lord to the people in warnings and entreaties. The Word itself must be as represented, the golden oil, emptied from the two olive trees that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. This is the baptism by the Holy Spirit with fire. This will open the soul of unbelievers to conviction. The wants of the soul can be met only by the working of the Holy Spirit of God. Man can of himself do nothing to satisfy the longings and meet the aspirations of the heart.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 4, 1180.

“我就回答他说:在灯台右边和左边的这两棵橄榄树是什么?我又问他说:这两根橄榄枝是什么?它们借着两根金管,把金油从自己里面倒出来。他回答我说:你不知道这些是什么吗?我说:我主啊,我不知道。他说:这两位是受膏者,侍立在全地之主旁边。撒迦利亚书4:11-14。它们将所出之油倒入金碗中;金碗代表上帝在世的使者的心,这些使者以警告和恳求把主的话传给百姓。主的话本身必须如所表明的那样,就是金油,从那两棵侍立在全地之主旁边的橄榄树倾倒出来。这就是圣灵与火的洗礼。这将使不信者的心灵向责罪敞开。惟有借着上帝圣灵的工作,灵魂的需要才能得到满足。人凭自己什么也不能做,来满足内心的渴望与向往。”《基督复临安息日会圣经注释》第4卷,第1180页。

The Word of God is both the Bible and Christ, and the Bible and Christ represent two witnesses, as do the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The two witnesses in turn represent a combination of divinity with humanity. They also represent internal and external prophetic histories. As witnesses, they provided evidence that divinity combined with humanity does not sin. They also represent the connection between divinity and humanity. Whether a ladder, conduit, pipes, angels or any of the other symbols of the communication link between God and man, the message conveyed to man is always life or death.

神的道既指圣经,也指基督;而圣经和基督代表两位见证人,十四万四千人也同样如此。两位见证人又代表神性与人性的结合。他们也代表内在与外在的预言性历史。作为见证人,他们提供了证据,证明神性与人性结合并不犯罪。他们也代表神性与人性之间的联结。无论是梯子、渠道、管子、天使,还是其他任何象征神与人之间沟通纽带的符号,传达给人的信息始终关乎生死。

The anointed ones standing by the Lord of the whole earth, have the position once given to Satan as covering cherub. By the holy beings surrounding his throne, the Lord keeps up a constant communication with the inhabitants of the earth. The golden oil represents the grace with which God keeps the lamps of believers supplied, that they shall not flicker and go out. Were it not that this holy oil is poured from heaven in the messages of God’s Spirit, the agencies of evil would have entire control over men.

站在全地之主身旁的受膏者,拥有那昔日赐给撒但作为受膏遮掩的基路伯时的位分。主借着环绕他宝座的圣者,与地上的居民保持不间断的沟通。那金色的油象征着神的恩典,借此神使信徒的灯得以供应充足,免得摇曳而熄灭。若不是这圣油借着神的灵的信息从天倾注下来,邪恶的势力就会完全控制人类。

“God is dishonored when we do not receive the communications which he sends us. Thus we refuse the golden oil which he would pour into our souls to be communicated to those in darkness. When the call shall come, ‘Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him,’ those who have not received the holy oil, who have not cherished the grace of Christ in their hearts, will find, like the foolish virgins, that they are not ready to meet their Lord. They have not, in themselves, the power to obtain the oil, and their lives are wrecked. But if God’s Holy Spirit is asked for, if we plead, as did Moses, ‘Show me thy glory,’ the love of God will be shed abroad in our hearts. Through the golden pipes, the golden oil will be communicated to us. ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.’ By receiving the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness, God’s children shine as lights in the world.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1897.

当我们不领受他所赐给我们的信息时,就使上帝蒙羞。这样,我们就拒绝了他本要倾注在我们心灵里的金色之油,好传递给在黑暗中的人。当呼声传来:“看哪,新郎来了;你们出来迎接他”时,那些没有领受圣油、没有在心中珍惜基督恩典的人,就会像愚拙的童女一样,发现自己还没有预备好去迎见他们的主。他们本身没有能力得着这油,他们的生命就毁了。但若求上帝的圣灵,若像摩西那样恳求说:“求你将你的荣耀显给我看”,上帝的爱就必浇灌在我们心里。借着金色的管子,金色的油就会传达到我们这里。“不是倚靠势力,不是倚靠才能,乃是倚靠我的灵,”万军之耶和华说。借着领受公义的日头明亮的光线,上帝的儿女在世上如明灯发光。 Review and Herald,1897年7月20日。

The outpouring of the Holy Spirit occurs during the internal and external histories marked by Daniel and Revelation 11:11. There are “at least” four prophetic characters represented in verses eleven and twelve of Daniel chapter eleven that need to be identified. There are also four that need to be identified in verses thirteen through fifteen, and four in verse sixteen. We are now living in that very history, so it behooves us, as students of prophecy to sort out who the symbolic characters of verses eleven through sixteen are, for they represent a line of prophecy that covers the hidden history of verse forty of the same chapter.

圣灵的浇灌发生在由《但以理书》和《启示录》11章11节所标示的内部与外部历史期间。《但以理书》第十一章第十一、十二节中“至少”有四位需要辨识的预言性人物。第十三至十五节中也有四位需要辨识的人物,第十六节中亦有四位。我们如今正活在那段历史之中,因此,作为研究预言的人,我们理当理清第十一至第十六节中的象征性人物分别是谁,因为它们代表了一条预言的脉络,涵盖了同一章第四十节所隐藏的历史。

It also seems relevant to identify the personalities represented in the history of verse forty which has been unsealing since 1989.

此外,似乎也有必要识别自1989年以来逐步揭开的第四十节经文的历史中所代表的人物。

And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Daniel 12:9, 10.

他对但以理说:你去吧,因为这些话已经封住并封印,直到末时。必有许多人被洁净、变得洁白,并受试炼;但恶人仍要作恶,恶人没有一个能明白,惟有智慧人能明白。——但以理书12:9、10

Verse forty begins at the time of the end in 1798 with Napoleon of France taking the pope into captivity. Napoleon’s justification was based upon the broken Treaty of Tolentino in 1797. Napoleon and the pope’s battle had previously been typified in the history which fulfilled verses six and seven of Daniel chapter eleven. The broken marriage treaty and the defeat of the northern king by the southern king in fulfillment of verses six and seven were repeated in the history of 1798, and in doing so they represent the prediction of God’s Word in verses six and seven, and the fulfillment of those verses in the beginning of the warfare between Ptolemy Philadelphus, the second and king of Egypt, and Antiochus Theos, third king of Syria. Ptolemy represented the southern king and Antiochus represented the northern king.

第四十节始于1798年的末时,当时法国的拿破仑将教皇掳去囚禁。拿破仑的理由基于1797年被撕毁的托连蒂诺条约。拿破仑与教皇之间的争战,先前已在那段应验了《但以理书》十一章第六、第七节的历史中被预表。第六、第七节所涉及的破裂婚约,以及南方王击败北方王之事,在1798年的历史中被重演;如此,它们便表明上帝的话语在第六、第七节中的预言,以及这些经文在埃及的第二位王托勒密·腓拉德尔福斯与叙利亚第三位王安条克·西奥斯之间战争之初的应验。托勒密代表南方王,安条克代表北方王。

The prediction of the verses, brought together with the fulfillment of that prediction in the history of Ptolemy and Antiochus—which in turn typified and the history of Napoleon and the pope in 1798 provide three lines which typify the history of Putin and Zelenskyy in verses eleven and twelve. Thus, understanding that the time of the end in 1798 represents the history of Napoleon and the pope is incomplete if it ends there. We must understand what verses six and seven predict about Napoleon and the pope, and also what the history of Ptolemy and Antiochus teaches of that same period. When we understand those lines of truth, we may then understand that those previous historical fulfillments are identifying the beginning history of verse forty, and in so doing, they are also identifying the ending of verse forty when Putin, who has been typified by Napoleon and Ptolemy—Putin who has been predicted in verses six and seven, fulfills verses eleven and twelve.

经文中的预言,连同它在托勒密与安提阿古历史中的应验——而那段历史又预表了1798年拿破仑与教皇的历史——以及1798年拿破仑与教皇的历史,共同构成了三条线路,这三条线路在第十一、十二节中预表了普京与泽连斯基的历史。因此,若只是把1798年的末时理解为拿破仑与教皇的历史,并就此打住,这样的理解是不完整的。我们必须明白第六、七节对拿破仑与教皇所作的预言,也要明白托勒密与安提阿古的历史对那同一时期所启示的内容。当我们明白那些真理的线路时,我们就会认识到,那些先前的历史性应验正在标示第四十节起始的历史;同时,它们也在指明第四十节的结束——即当普京(他已被拿破仑与托勒密所预表,并在第六、七节中被预言)应验第十一与第十二节之时。

An important observation concerning the prophetic relationship between the dragon and the beast as John would identify them, or as “the daily and the abomination of desolation” as Daniel would represent them is that they are prophetically very similar. John says it this way.

关于约翰所称的“龙”和“兽”,或但以理所称的“常献的祭”和“那行毁坏可憎的”之间的预言性关系,有一个重要的观察:它们在预言上非常相似。约翰是这样说的。

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? Revelation 13:4.

他们敬拜那将权柄赐给兽的龙,也敬拜那兽,说:“谁能像这兽呢?谁能与它争战呢?”启示录13:4。

To worship the dragon is to worship the beast, for both represent the religion of paganism. Like unto John, Daniel uses “the little horn” of Daniel chapter eight verses nine through twelve to represent both pagan and papal Rome, though he clearly distinguishes between the two by identifying the little horn of pagan Rome in the masculine sense, and the little horn of papal Rome in the feminine sense. In chapter seven Daniel identifies pagan Rome as “diverse” from the kingdoms before it, and Daniel further identifies that papal Rome was also “diverse.” Rome, whether pagan or papal is diverse. The male symbol of Rome representing pagan Rome is upheld by Ahab and Herod. Both were married to symbols of the papacy. The woman is churchcraft and the man is statecraft, so at the prophetic level when the Word of God speaks of a man and woman becoming one, it is confirming the reality that pagan Rome and papal Rome are very similar in the prophetic sense, for they are one flesh.

敬拜龙就是敬拜兽,因为二者都代表异教的宗教。与约翰一样,但以理在《但以理书》八章9至12节中用“小角”来代表异教罗马和教皇罗马,不过他也清楚地区分了二者:将异教罗马的小角以阳性指称,将教皇罗马的小角以阴性指称。在第七章中,但以理指出异教罗马与先前的诸国“不同”,他进一步又指出教皇罗马也“不同”。罗马,无论是异教的还是教皇的,都是“不同”的。代表异教罗马的罗马之男性象征由亚哈和希律所维护;二人都娶了象征教皇制度的人物为妻。女人是教权,男人是政权;因此,在预言的层面,当神的话语论到男女成为一体时,便是在证实这样一个事实:在预言的意义上,异教罗马与教皇罗马非常相似,因为他们乃是一体。

France’s relationship to the papacy in 1798 typifies the relationship of the United States with the papacy when the ten kings burn Rome with fire and eat her flesh.

1798年法国与教廷的关系,正是当十王以火焚烧罗马并吃她的肉时,美国与教廷关系的典型写照。

And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. Revelation 17:16.

你所看见那兽的十角,必恨那淫妇,使她荒凉、赤身露体,又要吃她的肉,并用火烧她。启示录 17:16

France’s relationship to the papacy when it placed the papacy in power in 538, typifies the work of the United States in healing the papacies’ deadly wound at the soon coming Sunday law.

法国在公元538年使教皇制掌权时与教皇制的关系,预表了美国在即将到来的星期日法令之时医治教皇制致命伤的工作。

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. Revelation 13:11–14.

我又看见另一只兽从地里上来;它有两只角,好像羊羔,却说话如同龙。它在第一只兽面前施行那第一只兽一切的权柄,并使大地和其上居住的人都去敬拜那受过致命伤却得了医治的第一只兽。它又行大奇事,甚至在人眼前,叫火从天降在地上;它借着得权在那兽面前所行的那些神迹,迷惑住在地上的人,吩咐住在地上的人给那受过刀剑之伤却仍活着的兽造一个像。启示录 13:11-14。

The “time of the end” in 1798 in fulfillment of verse forty identifies the spiritual king of the north being removed by the spiritual king of the south. That prophetic history is the ending history of the twelve hundred and sixty years of papal rule, and therefore the prophetic characteristics of the beginning of that prophetic history is represented at the ending. In 538 the fourth kingdom of Bible prophecy gave way to the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy and in 1798 the fifth kingdom of Bible prophecy gave way to the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy.

1798年的“末时”应验了第40节,指出属灵的北方之王被属灵的南方之王所除去。那段预言性的历史是教皇统治一千二百六十年的结束阶段,因此那段预言历史开端的预言特征在结尾处得以体现。538年,圣经预言的第四个王国被第五个王国所取代;而在1798年,第五个王国又被第六个王国所取代。

538 is also a middle waymark of the curse of the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six against the northern kingdom of Israel that began in 723 BC, when Assyria took Ephraim into captivity. 1798 therefore possesses not only the prophetic attributes of 538, but also of 723 BC. In 723 BC the ten tribes of Israel were being overthrown by Assyria, and twelve hundred and sixty years later in 538 pagan Rome was being overthrown by papal Rome, who was in turn overthrown by France in 1798 at the conclusion of the “seven times.”

538年也是利未记二十六章中针对以色列北国的“七倍”咒诅的一个中间路标,该咒诅始于公元前723年,当时亚述将以法莲掳去。因此,1798年不仅具备538年的预言性质,也具备公元前723年的预言性质。公元前723年,以色列十个支派正被亚述倾覆;一千二百六十年后的538年,异教罗马正被教皇罗马所倾覆,而教皇罗马又于1798年被法国推翻,“七倍”遂告结束。

In 1798 France, the king of the south, took the papacy off the throne. In 538 France, the premiere symbol of the disintegration of pagan Rome into ten kingdoms placed the papacy on the throne. At the Sunday law the United States repeats the role of France in 538, and when the ten kings burn the papacy with fire and eat her flesh the United States repeats the role of France in 1798.

1798年,作为南方王的法国,使教皇权下台。538年,作为异教罗马分裂为十个王国的首要象征的法国,使教皇权登上宝座。在星期日法令之时,美国将重演法国在538年的角色;当十王以火焚烧教皇权并吞吃她的肉时,美国将重演法国在1798年的角色。

The judgment of “seven times” against the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel was brought about by kingdoms which came out of the north.

临到以色列北国和南国的“七次”审判,是由那些来自北方的王国施行的。

Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones. Jeremiah 50:17.

以色列是被赶散的羊;狮子将他赶走了:先是亚述王吞吃了他,末后这巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒折断了他的骨头。耶利米书50:17。

Assyria came out of the north and conquered the ten tribes in 723 BC and Babylon took Judah captive in 677 BC. Though Israel was the northern kingdom in relation to Judah, still both kingdoms were conquered by enemies from the north, thus making both Israel and Judah southern kingdoms in relation to the enemy who took them into captivity. 723 BC represents the king of the north conquering a southern tenfold kingdom. 538 represents a transition from paganism to papalism and also a northern kingdom conquering a tenfold kingdom. 1798 represents a northern king being defeated by a southern king who represents a tenfold kingdom.

公元前723年,亚述自北方而来,征服了十个支派;公元前677年,巴比伦把犹大掳去。虽然相对于犹大而言,以色列是北国,但两个王国都被来自北方的敌人所征服,因此,相对于把他们掳去的敌人来说,以色列和犹大都成了南方的王国。公元前723年代表北方王征服一个南方的、由十个部分组成的王国。538年代表从异教到教皇主义的转变,也代表一个北方的王国征服一个由十个部分组成的王国。1798年代表一位北方王被一位代表着一个由十个部分组成的王国的南方王击败。

And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. Revelation 11:13.

就在那时,发生了大地震,城的十分之一倒塌;地震中有七千人丧命,其余的人都惊恐,归荣耀给天上的神。启示录 11:13。

The period of transition associated with 538, when Rome changed from pagan to papal, is also the change in Daniel chapter eight from masculine to the feminine, which symbolically is from statecraft to churchcraft. The prophecy of “seven times” bears the signature of “truth” for the first letter (723 BC) illustrates the twenty-second and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet (1798), while the thirteenth and middle letter represents rebellion (538). Daniel identifies that the “transgression” that is symbolized by the expression “the transgression of desolation” was the combination of church and state, with the church in control of the relationship. That “transgression” represents 538, which is the middle and metaphorically the thirteenth letter of the three primary waymarks in the period of the seven times against the ten northern tribes of Israel.

与538年相关的过渡时期——当罗马从异教转为教皇统治之时——也对应着但以理书第八章中由阳性转为阴性的变化,象征性地表示由国家治理转向教会治理。“七次”的预言带有“真理”一词的印记:其首字母(公元前723年)指向希伯来字母表的第二十二个、也是最后一个字母(1798年),而第十三个、亦即中间的字母代表叛逆(538年)。但以理指出,“荒凉的过犯”这一表述所象征的“过犯”,是教会与国家的结合,而且在这种关系中由教会掌控。那“过犯”代表538年,它是针对以色列北方十个支派的“七次”时期中三个主要路标的中间一个,并且在寓意上是第十三个字母。

In 1798, the “time of the end” as set forth in verse forty of Daniel chapter eleven, atheistic France, the king of the south delivered the deadly wound to the papacy, the king of the north. In 1989 the papacy retaliated against the atheistic king of the south, who had then become the Soviet Union. The retaliation included a secret alliance between the United States and the Vatican. The sweeping away of the Soviet Union in 1989 ends the written prophetic message of verse forty, and the next verse, verse forty-one, represents the Sunday law in the United States. Thus, from the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 until the Sunday law in the next verse we have been living in the hidden history of verse forty.

1798年,正如《但以理书》十一章四十节所指出的“末时”,无神论的法国(南方王)给教皇权(北方王)造成了致命的伤害。1989年,教皇权对无神论的南方王进行了报复,而当时的南方王已成为苏联。这次反击包括美国与梵蒂冈之间的秘密同盟。1989年苏联的瓦解,结束了第四十节所记载的预言信息,而下一节,即第四十一节,则代表美国的星期日法令。因此,从1989年苏联的崩溃直到下一节所指的星期日法令之间,我们一直生活在第四十节的“隐藏的历史”之中。

Verse forty begins by identifying a king of the south and north in 1798, and then in 1989 a king of the south and north, as well as a third power represented by the chariots, ships and horsemen.

第四十节首先指出,1798年有南方王和北方王;随后在1989年亦有南方王和北方王,并且还有由战车、船只和骑兵所代表的第三股势力。

And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. Daniel 11:40.

到了末时,南方的王要攻击他;北方的王要带着战车、骑兵和许多战船,如旋风一般来攻打他;他必进入诸国,如洪水泛滥,横扫而过。但以理书 11:40。

At the “time of the end” in 1798 a literal general of Napoleon entered the Vatican and literally took the pope and incarcerated him. In 1989 the retaliation for 1798 took place. There had been prophetic transitions which took place in the history between 1798 and 1989 that are important to note. Atheistic France, the king of the south in the 1798 time period was the first spiritual king of the south, and Putin’s Russia is destined to be its last. France is identified in Revelation eleven, which is directly identified by Sister White as atheistic France. One of the two symbols which identify France in chapter eleven is Egypt, which Sister White identifies as a symbol of atheism. In the chapter the beast who ascends out of the bottomless pit was atheism that came into history during that time period.

在1798年的“末时”,拿破仑的一名将军进入了梵蒂冈,实实在在地把教皇捉走并将其囚禁。1989年,对1798年的报复发生了。在1798年至1989年之间的历史中,曾发生过一些预言性的转折,值得注意。无神论的法国——1798年时期的南方王——是属灵的南方王中的第一位,而普京的俄罗斯注定成为最后一位。在启示录第十一章中,法国被识别出来;怀爱伦姐妹直接将其界定为无神论的法国。第十一章中用来识别法国的两个象征之一是埃及,怀爱伦姐妹将其界定为无神论的象征。在该章中,从无底坑上来的那只兽,就是在那个时期进入历史的无神论。

Atheism comes into history beginning with France in the 1798 time period and by 1989 the spiritual king of atheism has become the Soviet Union. The sweeping away of the Soviet Union in 1989 in fulfillment of a secret alliance between Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan had been typified in verse ten of Daniel chapter eleven, and a second witness to verse ten is found in Isaiah’s passage of the two curses of twenty-five hundred and twenty years against the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel as set forth in chapters seven through eleven.

无神论进入历史舞台,始于1798年前后的法国;到了1989年,无神论的属灵之王已成为苏联。1989年对苏联的扫除,是对教皇约翰·保罗二世与罗纳德·里根之间秘密同盟的应验;这种情形早已预表在《但以理书》十一章第十节之中。对该第十节的第二个见证,可见于《以赛亚书》第七至第十一章所陈述的、针对以色列北国与南国的两个二千五百二十年的咒诅的经文。

1989 therefore becomes the point of reference for resolving the prophetic riddles of the last days. It was then that verse forty was unsealed. It can now be recognized that verse forty begins in 1798 and ends at the Sunday law of verse forty-one.

因此,1989年就成为解开末世预言之谜的参照点。就在那时,第四十节被揭开。如今可以看出,第四十节始于1798年,并在第四十一节的星期日法令处结束。

At the Sunday law the United States will speak as a dragon and end its rule as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. It began its time to reign in 1798, when the fifth kingdom received a deadly wound. In 1798 the United States passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, thus typifying the end of the sixth kingdom at it’s very beginning. Verse forty is therefore the history of the United States as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy.

在星期日法令颁布之时,美国将像龙一样说话,并结束其作为圣经预言中第六个王国的统治。它的统治期始于1798年,那时第五个王国受了致命的伤。1798年,美国通过了《外国人和煽动叛乱法案》,从而在第六个王国刚一开始时就预表了它的结束。因此,第四十节所记述的,正是美国作为圣经预言中第六个王国的历史。

1798 is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, the Sunday law is the twenty-second and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet and 1989 is the waymark in the middle that represents the rebellion symbolized by the number thirteen and the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. 1989 represents the rebellion of Reagan’s secret alliance with the antichrist of Bible prophecy. 1989 introduces the first of the last eight presidents that reign during a period of escalating rebellion against the Constitution. 1989 began a testing process among Seventh-day Adventists that is designed to produce two classes of worshippers. The faithful are the few the unfaithful are the many. 1989 represents the center waymark of verse forty, and it represents the rebellion symbolized by the thirteenth letter. Verse forty bears the signature of “truth.”

1798是希伯来字母表的第一个字母,星期日法令是希伯来字母表的第二十二个也是最后一个字母,而1989是中间的路标,代表由数字十三和希伯来字母表第十三个字母所象征的叛逆。1989代表里根与圣经预言中的敌基督秘密结盟的叛逆。1989标志着在对宪法的叛逆不断升级的时期里,最后八位总统中的第一位出现。1989在基督复临安息日会中开始了一项考验过程,旨在产生两类敬拜者。忠心的人是少数,不忠的人是多数。1989代表第40节的中心路标,并且代表由第十三个字母所象征的叛逆。第40节带有“真理”的标记。

Verse forty has kings of the north and the south who are different in the history at the end of the verse. It also has the United States, who according to John is the false prophet who works with the dragon and beast to lead the world to Armageddon. The king of the south in verse forty is the dragon, the king of the north is the beast; the chariots, ships and horsemen are the false prophet. The fulfillment of verse forty in 1989 becomes an important prophetic attribute for understanding verses eleven through fifteen. If you are not right on 1989, you cannot logically be right about the history we are in today.

第四十节中的北方王与南方王,在本节末段所处的历史中已与此前不同。它也提到美国,按约翰的说法,美国就是那位与龙和兽合作、带领世界走向哈米吉多顿的假先知。第四十节中的南方王是龙,北方王是兽;战车、船只和骑兵就是假先知。第四十节在1989年的应验,成为理解第十一至第十五节的重要预言标志。若你在1989年这一点上不正确,就无法在逻辑上正确认识我们今天所处的历史。

From 1989 unto the Sunday law three proxy wars for the papacy are represented in verses ten through fifteen. These verses must be considered as one continuous history for the same “Antiochus Magnus” is found in the three battles represented in the historical fulfillment of verses ten through fifteen.

从1989年直到星期日法令期间,为教皇权而进行的三场代理人战争在第十至第十五节中有所呈现。这些经文必须被视为一段连贯的历史,因为在第十至第十五节的历史应验中所描绘的三场战役里,都出现了同一位“安条克大帝”。

All three battles are one prophetic line, for Antiochus Magnus was in each of the three battles. Verse ten, and Isaiah 8:8 provide two witnesses to the fulfillment of verse forty in 1989. Verse forty is the point of reference in verse ten and Isaiah 8:8. The “chariots, ships and horsemen” represent the two horns of the earth beast in chapter thirteen of Revelation. At the end, when the United States “speaks as a dragon” the two horns are no longer Republicanism and Protestantism. At that time the so-called Protestants will join with Catholicism, and the Constitutional Republic will be changed into a dictatorship. In that time period the two horns of the earth beast will be economic and military strength. In chapter thirteen of Revelation the United States forces the world to accept the mark of the beast in order to buy and sell, and also upon threat of death. Those two horns are Daniel’s “ships” representing economic power and his “horsemen and chariots” representing military strength.

这三场战役合为一条预言线,因为安提阿古大帝都参与了这三场战役。第十节和以赛亚书8:8为第四十节在1989年的应验提供了两个见证。第四十节是第十节和以赛亚书8:8中的参照点。“战车、船只和马兵”代表启示录第十三章里那只从地里上来的兽的两只角。到了末后,当美国“说话像龙”时,那两只角不再是共和政体与新教。那时,所谓的新教徒将与天主教联合,而宪政共和国将被改为独裁政体。在那段时期,那只从地里上来的兽的两只角将是经济实力和军事实力。在启示录第十三章中,美国强迫全世界接受兽的印记,才能买卖,并且以死亡相威胁。那两只角就是但以理的“船只”,代表经济力量,以及他的“马兵与战车”,代表军事力量。

1989 establishes that when applying the historical fulfillment of the battles of Raphia and Panium in verses eleven through fifteen, the same prophetic methodology that was employed to understand 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union must be used for Antiochus Magnus was in all three battles represented in verses ten through fifteen. Antiochus represents the power of chariots, ships and horsemen, who in 1989 was Ronald Reagan, the first of eight presidents, of which the last was also the sixth and is now the eighth that is of the seven.

1989年确立了这样一点:当将第十一至第十五节里的拉菲亚之战和帕尼翁之战的历史应验加以应用时,必须使用用来理解1989年与苏联解体的同一套预言方法,因为在第十至第十五节所描绘的三场战役中,安条克大帝都参与其中。安条克代表战车、舰船和骑兵的力量,这一力量在1989年体现为罗纳德·里根,他是八位总统中的第一位,其中最后一位也是第六位,并且如今是那七人中的第八位。

According to Isaiah twenty-three the papal power, (the whore who commits fornication with the kings of the earth) would be hidden during the reign of the United States as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. In 1989 the United States, that had been typified by Antiochus Magnus was the proxy power of the papacy in its warfare against the beast of atheism that delivered it a deadly wound in 1798.

根据《以赛亚书》第二十三章,教皇权(那与地上诸王行淫的淫妇)将在美国作为圣经预言中的第六个王国统治期间被隐藏。1989年,曾被安提阿古大帝所预表的美国,在教廷与那曾于1798年对其造成致命一击的无神论之兽的战争中,充当其代理势力。

The three battles of verse ten through fifteen represent warfare between the king of the north, who as the hidden whore of Tyre, employs proxy powers as she moves towards the restoration of her power and the defeat of the king of atheism—the king of the south. The historical fulfillments of the three battles of verses ten through fifteen instruct us that in the first and last battles Antiochus Magnus won, but the middle battle he lost. The prophetic characteristics of the 1989 Ronald Reagan years with Pope John Paul II and the collapse of the Soviet Union will have a counterpart in the last of the three battles, for these verses are what is unsealed just before probation closes. As verse forty was unsealed in 1798 and then again in 1989, the verse was unsealed at the end, beginning in July 2023.

第十至第十五节的三场争战,描绘了北方王与南方王之间的战争。北方王作为“推罗的隐藏淫妇”,在推进恢复其权势并击败无神论之王——南方王——的过程中,借助代理势力行事。第十至第十五节这三场战役的历史应验告诉我们:在第一场和最后一场战役中,安条克大帝获胜,而在中间那一场他失败了。1989年罗纳德·里根与教皇约翰·保罗二世的合作,以及苏联解体的预言性特征,将在这三场战役的最后一场中找到对应,因为这些经文是在恩典期关闭之前被解封的。正如第四十节在1798年被解封,并在1989年再次被解封一样,这节经文也在末后被解封,其起点为2023年7月。

The Revelation of Jesus Christ is unsealed just before probation closes and it includes the preeminent truth that Jesus is the first and the last, and as such always illustrates the end with the beginning. Probation closes for Adventism at the Sunday law, and just before the close of probation the Revelation of Jesus Christ is unsealed. The message which concludes at the closed door of the Sunday law is the message of the Midnight Cry, which led to the closed door of October 22, 1844 in Millerite history. The unsealing of 1798 in the beginning of verse forty which is also the beginning of the United States as the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy typified the unsealing of 1989 in the middle of verse forty and the start of the progressive ending of the United States. The unsealing in 1798 which typified 1989 represents two witnesses to the unsealing of the message of the Midnight Cry in 2023. The line, with its three waymarks 1798, 1989 and 2023 identifies the internal work of purifying ten virgins and the external line of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy.

耶稣基督的启示在恩典期关闭之前被解封,其中包含首要的真理:耶稣是首先的,也是末后的,因此总是以起初说明结局。对于复临运动而言,恩典期在星期日法令时关闭,而就在恩典期关闭之前,耶稣基督的启示被解封。在星期日法令的关门处告终的信息,就是引向米勒派历史中1844年10月22日关门的午夜呼声的信息。在第40节开头的1798年的解封(这也是美国作为圣经预言第六个王国的开始)预表了在第40节中段的1989年的解封,以及美国渐进式走向终结的开端。1798年的解封,作为1989年的预表,构成了对2023年午夜呼声信息解封的两个见证。这条线,以1798、1989和2023这三个路标,标识出内在线上对十个童女的洁净工作,以及外在线上圣经预言第六个王国的进程。

The battle set forth in verse eleven which was fulfilled at the Battle of Raphia when Antiochus was defeated by Ptolemy, represents a defeat of the papal proxy power, who in this current battle is the Nazi’s of the Ukraine allied with the Western European globalist nations that make up the EU, NATO and are in lock step with the political and economic globalists of the United Nations. If Antiochus Magnus was at all three battles and represents the papal proxy power against the king of the south, how can it be the United States in 1989, then the Ukrainians as typified by the Battle of Raphia and then the United States again at the Battle of Panium? Verse ten is the key to verses eleven through fifteen for its fulfillment in 1989 provides an illustration of the prophetic characteristics of the first of the three proxy wars. What is the prophetic justification for identifying Antiochus as the papal proxy power, while not applying the United States to each of the three battles?

第十一节所述的那场战斗在拉菲亚战役中得到应验,当时安条克被托勒密击败,这代表着教皇代理势力的一次失败;在当下的这场战斗中,这一势力就是乌克兰的纳粹分子,他们与构成欧盟、北约的西欧全球主义国家结盟,并与联合国的政治和经济全球主义者步调一致。若安条克大帝出现在这三场战役中,并代表对抗南方王的教皇代理势力,那么,为什么1989年是美国,随后如拉菲亚战役所表明的那样是乌克兰人,而在帕尼翁战役时又回到美国?第十节是第十一至第十五节的关键,因为它在1989年的应验提供了一个关于三场代理战争中第一场之预言性特征的例证。将安条克认定为教皇的代理势力,却不把美国套用于这三场战役的每一场,其预言上的根据是什么?

In the history of the Ukrainian war, which has been typified by the battle of Raphia the United States employed the Nazi’s of the Ukraine as their proxy power in the very history where they are forming and image of the papacy, the power who always and only uses proxy powers to do her dirty work.

在以拉菲亚之战为典型的乌克兰战争史中,美国把乌克兰的纳粹当作其代理势力;而正是在同一段历史中,他们正在塑造教皇制度的形象——这一权力始终、并且只会利用代理势力替她干脏活。

To answer the question of proxy powers in verses ten through fifteen involves a prophetic study of the characteristics of Antiochus as a symbol. The Diadochi Wars were a series of conflicts from 323–281 BC among the Diadochi (Greek for “successors”), the generals and successors of Alexander the Great, who fought for control of his vast empire after his death in 323 BC. The first Antiochus was Antiochus I Soter, the son of Seleucus I Nicator, one of Alexander’s Diadochi (successors), who founded the Seleucid Empire.

要回答第十至第十五节中有关代理势力的问题,需要对安条克作为象征所体现的特征进行先知性研究。继业者战争是指公元前323年至公元前281年间,亚历山大大帝的将领与继承者们——即“继业者”(希腊语意为“继承者”)——为在他于公元前323年去世后争夺其庞大帝国的控制权而爆发的一系列冲突。第一位安条克是安条克一世·索特尔,他是塞琉古一世·尼卡托尔之子;塞琉古一世是亚历山大的继业者之一,并建立了塞琉古帝国。

The name Antiochus can be understood to mean one who stands in place of, in order to support. Antiochus is a symbol of Rome, and papal Rome is the antichrist, which possesses a similar symbolism as does Antiochus. Antiochus as a name represented the son of the founder of the Seleucid Empire, and in that sense, Antiochus stood in the place of his father, he stood as his proxy. Sister White identifies both Satan and the pope as the antichrist, and states that the pope is Satan’s representative on earth. It became a prominent dynastic name in the Seleucid Empire, partly due to its association with Antiochus I Soter and the city of Antioch, named after either Seleucus I’s father or son. The pope is the proxy for Satan, and symbolically the name Antiochus represents a proxy for his father, the founder of the northern kingdom who located its capital in Babylon.

“安条克”这个名字可以理解为“为了支持而代替某人站在其位置上的人”。安条克是罗马的象征,而教皇罗马就是敌基督,具有与安条克相似的象征意义。“安条克”这个名字指称塞琉古帝国奠基者的儿子,从这个意义上说,安条克代其父而立,充当其代理人。怀特姐妹将撒但和教皇都认定为敌基督,并指出教皇是撒但在地上的代表。它在塞琉古帝国内成为显赫的王室名号,部分原因在于它与安条克一世·索特尔以及安条克城的关联;该城得名于塞琉古一世的父亲或儿子之一。教皇是撒但的代理人,而在象征意义上,“安条克”这个名字代表的是其父亲——那位将都城设在巴比伦的北方王国的奠基者——的代理人。

After Alexander the Great’s death in 323 BC, his empire fragmented among the Diadochi (successors). In the Partition of Babylon (323 BC), Seleucus was initially appointed as the commander of the Companion cavalry (a prestigious military post) under Perdiccas, the regent of Alexander’s empire. By 321 BC, Seleucus was appointed satrap (governor) of Babylonia during the Partition of Triparadisus, following Perdiccas’ death and further negotiations among the Diadochi. In 316 BC, Antigonus I Monophthalmus, another Diadoch, forced Seleucus to flee Babylon due to Antigonus’ growing power. Seleucus sought refuge with Ptolemy I Soter in Egypt. In 312 BC, Seleucus returned to Babylon with a small force provided by Ptolemy. He defeated Antigonus’ forces and retook Babylon, marking the establishment of his power base. This event is often considered the founding of the Seleucid Empire, with 312 BC as the start of the Seleucid Era in historical reckoning.

公元前323年亚历山大大帝去世后,他的帝国在继业者(继承者)之间分裂。在巴比伦分封(公元前323年)中,塞琉古最初被任命为亚历山大帝国摄政者珀狄卡斯麾下的同伴骑兵指挥官(一个显赫的军职)。到公元前321年,随着珀狄卡斯之死以及继业者之间的进一步协商,在特里帕拉迪苏斯分封期间,塞琉古被任命为巴比伦尼亚的satrap(总督)。公元前316年,另一位继业者独眼者安提柯一世因其势力日益壮大,迫使塞琉古逃离巴比伦。塞琉古在埃及投奔救世主托勒密一世。公元前312年,塞琉古率托勒密提供的一支小部队返回巴比伦。他击败了安提柯的军队,重新夺回巴比伦,标志着其权力基础的确立。此事常被视为塞琉古帝国的创立,历史纪年以公元前312年为塞琉古纪年的起点。

The name Seluecus is derived from Greek and comes from the root selas (σέλας), meaning “light,” “radiance,” or “flame.” The name suggests brilliance or illumination, fitting for a prominent figure like Seleucus I Nicator, the founder of the Seleucid Empire and who typifies the father who had been the light bearer in heaven.

Seluecus 这个名字源自希腊语,出自词根 selas(σέλας),意为“光”、“光辉”或“火焰”。这个名字寓意光辉或照明,很契合像塞琉古一世·尼卡托尔这样的重要人物——他是塞琉古帝国的创建者,并且象征那位曾在天上担任持光者的父亲。

“To secure worldly gains and honors, the church was led to seek the favor and support of the great men of earth; and having thus rejected Christ, she was induced to yield allegiance to the representative of Satan—the bishop of Rome.” The Great Controversy, 50.

为了获取世俗的利益和荣誉,教会被引导去寻求世上权贵的恩宠与支持;既然如此弃绝了基督,她便被诱使向撒但的代表——罗马主教——效忠。《大争议》,50。

Antiochus Magnus represents the proxy of papal power, as the pope represents the proxy of Satan. The symbolism of Antiochus allows for differing proxy powers, just as there have been many popes. Reagan was the proxy of 1989, the Ukraine became the proxy of the United States in 2014 and Trump is the proxy at the Battle of Panium. Reagan was the first, Trump is the last and Zelenskyy is the rebellion in the middle.

安条克大帝代表着教皇权力的代理人,正如教皇代表着撒旦的代理人。安条克的象征意义允许存在不同的代理势力,正如历史上出现过许多位教皇一样。里根是1989年的代理人,乌克兰在2014年成为美国的代理方,而特朗普是帕尼翁战役中的代理人。里根是第一个,特朗普是最后一个,泽连斯基则是中间的叛乱。
