我们回天家-第181章
“遵守上帝命令的,就住在神里面。上帝也住在他里面”(约一3:24)。{HB201.1}[1]
我们回天家-第181章
Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him.—1 John 3:24.{HB 201.1}[1]
我们回天家-第181章
先知警告人不要拜兽和兽像之后,又说:“圣徒的忍耐就在此,他们是守上帝诫命,和耶稣真道的。”先知在这里将守上帝诫命的人与拜兽和兽像并受它印记的人作一个对照,可见守上帝诫命的人站在一边,而干犯上帝律法的人则站在另一边,使人人可以看出,拜上帝的人和拜兽的人有什么区别。{HB201.2}[2]
我们回天家-第181章
After the warning against the worship of the beast and his image the prophecy declares: “Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12.) Since those who keep God’s commandments are thus placed in contrast with those that worship the beast and his image and receive his mark, it follows that the keeping of God’s law, on the one hand, and its violation, on the other, will make the distinction between the worshipers of God and the worshipers of the beast.{HB 201.2}[2]
我们回天家-第181章
兽的特征以及兽像的特征,就是破坏上帝的诫命。先知但以理曾预言到小角(即罗马教廷)说,他“必想改变节期和律法”(但7:25)。使徒保罗也称这同一个势力为高抬自己超过上帝的“大罪人”。这两段预言是互相辅佐,彼此补充的。教廷唯有藉着改变上帝的律法,才能高抬自己超过上帝。凡是明知真相而又遵守这被更改之律法的人,便是向那更改律法的权势致敬。这种行为就是效忠教皇来代替上帝的标志了。{HB201.3}[3]
我们回天家-第181章
The special characteristic of the beast, and therefore of his image, is the breaking of God’s commandments. Says Daniel, of the little horn, the papacy: “He shall think to change times and the law.” (Daniel 7:25, R.V.) And Paul styled the same power the “man of sin,” who was to exalt himself above God. One prophecy is a complement of the other. Only by changing God’s law could the papacy exalt itself above God; whoever should understandingly keep the law as thus changed would be giving supreme honor to that power by which the change was made. Such an act of obedience to papal laws would be a mark of allegiance to the pope in the place of God.{HB 201.3}[3]
我们回天家-第181章
罗马教廷曾企图改变上帝的律法。他们废除了那禁止人拜偶像的第二条诫命,更改了第四条诫命,吩咐人遵守七日的第一日来代替第七日的安息日。但是那些罗马教徒却强辩说,第二诫是不必要的,因为已经包括在第一诫之内,所以说,他们现在所修订的律法,正是上帝的本意。可见这一项变更还不能算是先知所预言的改变。先知所预言的,乃是一种存心蓄意而经过深思熟虑的改变。先知说:“他必想改变节期,和律法。”所以罗马教更改第四条诫命,正好应验了先知的预言。因为这种改变完全以教会的权威为根据。从此可见教廷的势力竟公然高抬自己超过上帝。{HB201.4}[4]
我们回天家-第181章
The papacy has attempted to change the law of God. The second commandment, forbidding image worship, has been dropped from the law, and the fourth commandment has been so changed as to authorize the observance of the first instead of the seventh day as the Sabbath. But papists urge, as a reason for omitting the second commandment, that it is unnecessary, being included in the first, and that they are giving the law exactly as God designed it to be understood. This cannot be the change foretold by the prophet. An intentional, deliberate change is presented: “He shall think to change the times and the law.” The change in the fourth commandment exactly fulfills the prophecy. For this the only authority claimed is that of the church. Here the papal power openly sets itself above God.{HB 201.4}[4]
我们回天家-第181章
安息日既然是上帝创造权能的记号,并说明上帝理应受人的尊崇和敬拜,所以当敬拜上帝的人以注意第四诫为特征的时候,那些拜兽的人也要以破坏创造主的纪念日,而高举罗马教所定的圣日为特征。(《善恶的斗争》445,446.页){HB201.5}[5]
我们回天家-第181章
While the worshipers of God will be especially distinguished by their regard for the fourth commandment—since this is the sign of His creative power and the witness to His claim upon man’s reverence and homage—the worshipers of the beast will be distinguished by their efforts to tear down the Creator’s memorial, to exalt the institution of Rome.—The Great Controversy, 445, 446.{HB 201.5}[5]
