Chap. 66 - The Second Death
救赎的故事-第67章
撒但见到了基督的威严和光荣，似乎全身瘫痪了。这一度作过遮掩约柜的基路伯，想起自己是从何处堕落的。他曾是一个发光的撒拉弗，“早晨之子，”这时何竟改变，何竟堕落了！{SR 427.1}[1]
救赎的故事-第67章
Satan seems paralyzed as he beholds the glory and majesty of Christ. He who was once a covering cherub remembers whence he has fallen. A shining seraph, "son of the morning"; how changed, how degraded! {SR 427.1}[1]
救赎的故事-第67章
撒但看出他那出于自动的反叛已经使他不配居留天上。他已经惯于用自己的能力去反抗上帝，所以天庭的纯洁、平安与和谐对于他必是极端的痛苦。他对于上帝之慈爱与公义的诬告已经不能成立。他所竭力加在耶和华身上的罪名，现在完全都落在他自己的头上了。到此撒但不得不低头下拜，承认自己所受的处分是公正合理的。{SR 427.2}[2]
救赎的故事-第67章
Satan sees that his voluntary rebellion has unfitted him for heaven. He has trained his powers to war against God; the purity, peace, and harmony of heaven would be to him supreme torture. His accusations against the mercy and justice of God are now silenced. The reproach which he has endeavored to cast upon Jehovah rests wholly upon himself. And now Satan bows down and confesses the justice of his sentence. {SR 427.2}[2]
救赎的故事-第67章
在这长久斗争中一切有关真理与谬道的问题，现在都已明朗了。上帝的公义也完全证实了。在全世界之前，圣父与圣子为人类所作的伟大牺牲已经清楚的显明了。现在时候已到，基督要站在祂应有的地位上，并享受尊荣，远超过一切执政的、掌权的和一切有名的。{SR 427.3}[3]
救赎的故事-第67章
Every question of truth and error in the longstanding controversy is made plain. God's justice stands fully vindicated. Before the whole world is clearly presented the great sacrifice made by the Father and the Son in man's behalf. The hour has come when Christ occupies His rightful position, and is glorified above principalities and powers and every name that is named. {SR 427.3}[3]
救赎的故事-第67章
撒但虽然不得不承认上帝的公正，并向基督的至高威权抵头，但他的品性并没有改变。叛逆的精神象一股汹涌的洪流再度暴发了。他的心内充满狂怒，决意在这场大斗争中顽抗到底。时候已到，他必须对天上的君王作最后的挣扎。于是他冲到自己所统治的人中，尽力以自己的狂怒来鼓动他们，激发他们立即作战。不料，在他所引诱参加叛变的无数群众中，现在却没有一个人再承认他的主权了。到此，他的势力已经消灭了。恶人固然象撒但一样，仍旧充满仇恨上帝的心理，但他们看出大势已去，他们决不能胜过耶和华了。他们便向撒但和他所用来欺骗众人的爪牙工具大发烈怒，并以恶魔般的疯狂向他们猛扑过来，接着就是一场普遍的战争。{SR 427.4}[4]
救赎的故事-第67章
Notwithstanding Satan has been constrained to acknowledge God's justice, and to bow to the supremacy of Christ, his character remains unchanged. The spirit of rebellion, like a mighty torrent, against bursts forth. Filled with frenzy, he determines not to yield the great controversy. The time has come for a lastdesperate struggle against the King of heaven. He rushes into the midst of his subjects and endeavors to inspire them with his own fury and arouse them to instant battle. But of all the countless millions whom he has allured into rebellion, there are none now to acknowledge his supremacy. His power is at an end. The wicked are filled with the same hatred of God that inspires Satan; but they see that their case is hopeless, that they cannot prevail against Jehovah. Their rage is kindled against Satan and those who have been his agents in deception. With the fury of demons they turn upon them, and there follows a scene of universal strife. {SR 427.4}[4]
救赎的故事-第67章
【火从天上降下】
那时先知的话便要应验：“耶和华向万国发忿恨，向他们的全军发烈怒，将他们灭尽，交出他们受杀戮。”“祂他要向恶人密布网罗，有烈火、硫磺、热风，作他们杯中的分”（赛34:2; 诗11:6）。从天上上帝那里有火下降。地也裂开了。藏在地底深处的武器也拿出来了。从每道裂开的深坑中，有灭人的火焰喷出。连岩石本身也都着起来了。“那日临近，势如烧着的火炉。”“有形质的都要被烈火销化，地和其上的物都要烧尽了”（玛4:1; 彼后3:10）。陀裴特的火已经为背逆之王预备好，又深又宽，“耶和华的气如一股硫磺火，使他着起来”（赛30:33）。这时地面看起来象一片熊熊的熔岩，━━一个广大而沸腾着的火湖。这乃是不敬虔之人遭受报应与沉沦的时候，──“因耶和华有报仇之日，为锡安的争辩，有报应之年”（赛34:8）。{SR 428.1}[5]

【Fire From Heaven】
Then are fulfilled the words of the prophet: "The indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and His fury upon all their armies: He hath utterly destroyed them, He hath delivered them to the slaughter." Isaiah 34:2. "Upon the wicked He shall rain quick burning coals, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup." Psalm 11:6, margin. Fire comes down from God out of heaven. The earth is broken up. The weapons concealed in its depths are drawn forth. Devouring flames burst from every yawning chasm. The very rocks are on fire. The day has come that "shall burn as an oven." Malachi 4:1. The elements melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein are burned up. (2 Peter 3:10.) The fire of Tophet is prepared for the king, the chief of rebellion; the pile thereof is deep and large, and "the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it." Isaiah 30:33. The earth's surface seems one molten mass--a vast, seething lake of fire. It is the time of the judgment and perdition of ungodly men --"the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion." Isaiah 34:8. {SR 428.1}[5]
救赎的故事-第67章
恶人要在这世上受报（箴11:31）。“万军之耶和华说：那日临近，势如烧着的火炉，凡狂傲的和行恶的，必如碎秸”（玛4:1）。有一些人只烧片刻便毁灭了，但有一些人却要受苦多日，各人都是“照着他们所行的”受刑罚。义人的罪都已归到罪恶的创始者撒但的头上，所以他不但要为自己的叛逆受刑，也要为他所引诱上帝子民去犯的一切罪受刑。他所遭受的刑罚，要比一切受他迷惑之人所遭受的远为可怕。在那些受他迷惑而堕落之人都被烧尽之后，他还要活着受苦。在这一场洁净地球的火焰之中，恶人终于都被除灭了，根本枝条一无存留，──撒但是根本，跟从他的是枝条。上帝公义的要求都已达到了；于是圣徒和天使全军大声说：阿们。{SR 429.1}[6]
救赎的故事-第67章
The wicked receive their recompense in the earth. They "shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts." Malachi 4:1. Some are destroyed as in a moment, while others suffer many days. All are punished according to their deeds. The sins of the righteous have been transferred to Satan, the originator of evil, who must bear their penalty. [SEE FOOTNOTE P. 403.] Thus he is made to suffer, not only for his own rebellion, but for all the sins which he has caused God's people to commit. His punishment is to be far greater than that of those whom he has deceived. After all have perished who fell by his deceptions, he is still to live and suffer on. In the cleansing flames the wicked are at last destroyed, root and branch--Satan the root, his followers the branches. The justice of God is satisfied, and the saints and all the angelic host say with a loud voice, Amen. {SR 429.1}[6]
救赎的故事-第67章
当整个地球变成一团烈火时，义人却安然居住在圣城里。在头一次复活有分的，第二次的死在他们身上没有权柄（见启20:6）。上帝对于恶人乃是烈火，但对于祂的子民却是日头和盾牌（见诗84:11）。{SR 429.2}[7]
救赎的故事-第67章
While the earth is wrapped in the fire of God's vengeance, the righteous abide safely in the Holy City. Upon those that had part in the first resurrection, the second death has no power. (Revelation 20:6.) While God is to the wicked a consuming fire, He is to His people both a sun and a shield. (Psalm 84:11.) {SR 429.2}[7]
