Eden Restored, December 18
奇妙的神恩-第353章
“得胜的,我必将上帝乐园中生命树的果子赐给他吃”(启2:7)。{AG 360.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第353章
To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.Revelation 2:7.{AG 360.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第353章
人类被赶出乐园之后,伊甸还留在地上一段很长的时期。(见创4:16)堕落的人类仍得瞻望那无罪的家乡,只是进口之处有天使把守着。上帝的荣耀仍显现在有基路伯守护的乐园门口。亚当和他的子孙常来到这里敬拜上帝。他们在这里重新立约要遵守上帝的律法。他们被赶出伊甸园原是因着违犯了这律法。及至罪恶的洪流充斥全地,世人的罪恶决定了他们被洪水毁灭的厄运时,当初栽植伊甸园的上帝就把它从地上收回去了。但到了复兴的日子,当新天新地出现的时候(启 21:1),伊甸必要恢复,装饰得比起初更加美丽。{AG 360.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第353章
The garden of Eden remained upon the earth long after man had become an outcast from its pleasant paths. The fallen race were long permitted to gaze upon the home of innocence, their entrance barred only by the watching angels. At the cherubim-guarded gate of Paradise the divine glory was revealed. Hither came Adam and his sons to worship God. Here they renewed their vows of obedience to that law the transgression of which had banished them from Eden. When the tide of iniquity overspread the world, and the wickedness of men determined their destruction by a flood of waters, the hand that had planted Eden withdrew it from the earth. But in the final restitution, when there shall be “a new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1), it is to be restored more gloriously adorned than at the beginning.{AG 360.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第353章
那时,凡遵守上帝诫命的人必要从生命树上摘取果子。(见启2:7;21:1;22:14)而且千秋万世,那些无罪的居民必可在乐园中看到上帝完全的创造之工的样本,其中毫无罪恶和咒诅的影响。这也就说明,起初人类若履行了创造主的荣耀计划,全地所呈现的光景是何等佳美。{PP 62}{AG 360.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第353章
Then they that have kept God’s commandments shall breathe in immortal vigor beneath the tree of life; and through unending ages the inhabitants of sinless worlds shall behold, in that garden of delight, a sample of the perfect work of God’s creation, untouched by the curse of sin—a sample of what the whole earth would have become, had man but fulfilled the Creator’s glorious plan.29{AG 360.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第353章
亚当恢复了他起初的国权。他喜出望外地看到自己从前所喜爱的树木。这些树上的果子是他在无罪而快乐的日子中所摘取吃用的。他见到自己所亲手修理过的葡萄树,和自己所曾爱护的花卉。他充分地体会到当前的现实。他认明这确是光复了的伊甸园。{GC 648}{AG 360.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第353章
Adam is reinstated in his first dominion. Transported with joy, he holds the trees that were once his delight—the very trees whose fruit he himself had gathered in the days of his innocence and joy. He sees the vines that his own hands have trained, the very flowers that he once loved to care for. His mind grasps the reality of the scene; he comprehends that this is indeed Eden restored.30{AG 360.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第353章
蒙救赎的子民要吃那久已失落的伊甸园中之生命树的果子,便渐渐长成人类在起初的荣耀中所有的身量。罪的咒诅所留下的残痕余迹都要完全消除。基督忠心的子民要在“耶和华我们上帝的荣美之中”(诗90:17)显现,在意识、心灵和身体三方面反照耶和华的完全形像。奇哉救恩!久被人所谈论,久为人所仰望,并用热切预期的心情冥思默想,但始终不为人所完全领会。{GC 644}{AG 360.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第353章
Restored to the tree of life in the long-lost Eden, the redeemed will “grow up” to the full stature of the race in its primeval glory. The last lingering traces of the curse of sin will be removed, and Christ’s faithful ones will appear in “the beauty of the Lord our God” (Psalm 90:17), in mind and soul and body reflecting the perfect image of their Lord. Oh, wonderful redemption! long talked of, long hoped for, contemplated with eager anticipation, but never fully understood.31{AG 360.5}[5]
