我们回天家-第40章
“我要高举我的宝座在上帝众星以上。……我要与至上者同等”(赛14:13,14)。{HB55.1}[1]
我们回天家-第40章
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;. . . I will be like the Most High.—Isaiah 14:13, 14.{HB 55.1}[1]
我们回天家-第40章
当耶稣降生之时,撒但知道那带着上帝使命来对抗他权势的一位已经来了。天使所宣告有关这新生王之威权的消息,使他战栗不安。撒但熟知基督在天上以天父爱子的身份所占的地位。上帝的儿子居然降世为人,这使撒但心中充满惊奇和恐惧。他测不透这种伟大牺牲的奥秘。他那自私的心,不能明白上帝为受了欺骗的人类怎么会发出这么大的爱心。天庭的荣耀和安宁,以及与上帝交通的喜乐,世人只能隐约地领悟,但这一切却是那曾遮掩约柜的基路伯路锡甫所熟悉的。他既然失去天家,便决心报复,使别人与他一同陷入罪恶。为了达到这个目的,他使他们轻视天上的事,专顾地上的事。……{HB55.2}[2]
我们回天家-第40章
At the birth of Jesus, Satan knew that One had come with a divine commission to dispute his dominion. He trembled at the angel’s message attesting the authority of the newborn King. Satan well knew the position that Christ had held in heaven as the Beloved of the Father. That the Son of God should come to this earth as a man filled him with amazement and with apprehension. He could not fathom the mystery of this great sacrifice. His selfish soul could not understand such love for the deceived race. The glory and peace of heaven, and the joy of communion with God, were but dimly comprehended by human beings; but they were well known to Lucifer, the covering cherub. Since he had lost heaven, he was determined to find revenge by causing others to share his fall. This he would do by causing them to undervalue heavenly things, and to set the heart upon things of earth. . . .{HB 55.2}[2]

上帝的形像既在基督身上显明,撒但的议会就决心要战胜祂。直到那时,凡生在世上的人还没有一个曾逃脱过那欺骗者的势力。于是罪恶大同盟的全部势力都动员起来,寸步不离地追寻祂的踪迹与祂作战,尽量想办法要胜过祂。{HB55.3}[3]
我们回天家-第40章
The image of God was manifest in Christ, and in the councils of Satan it was determined that He should be overcome. No human being had come into the world and escaped the power of the deceiver. The forces of the confederacy of evil were set upon His track to engage in warfare against Him, and if possible to prevail over Him.{HB 55.3}[3]
我们回天家-第40章
救主受洗之时,撒但也在观众之中。他看见天父的荣光环绕祂的儿子。他也听见耶和华的声音证明耶稣的神性。自从亚当犯罪以来,人类与上帝直接的来往已被割断,天地之间的交通,一向是藉着基督进行的。如今耶稣既来“成为罪身的形状”(罗8:3),天父就亲自开口了。以前祂是藉着基督与人类交往的,现今祂是在基督里面与人类交往了。撒但本来希望因上帝对罪恶的憎恶,天与地上永远分离。但是现在上帝与人之间的联络显然已经恢复了。{HB55.4}[4]
我们回天家-第40章
At the Saviour’s baptism, Satan was among the witnesses. He saw the Father’s glory overshadowing His Son. He heard the voice of Jehovah testifying to the divinity of Jesus. Ever since Adam’s sin, the human race had been cut off from direct communion with God; the communication between heaven and earth had been through Christ; but now that Jesus had come “in the likeness of sinful flesh” (Romans 8:3), the Father Himself spoke. He had before communicated with humanity?throughChrist; now He communicated with humanity in Christ. Satan had hoped that God’s abhorrence of evil would bring an eternal separation between heaven and earth. But now it was manifest that the connection between God and humanity had been restored.{HB 55.4}[4]
我们回天家-第40章
撒但看出他若不战胜耶稣,就必为耶稣所胜。这场斗争关系重大,撒但不敢交托给与他同盟的使者。他必须亲自出马,调兵遣将。于是一切叛逆的势力都集中起来向上帝的儿子进攻。基督成了阴间每一种武器攻击的目标。(《历代的愿望》115,116页){HB55.5}[5]
我们回天家-第40章
Satan saw that he must either conquer or be conquered. The issues of the conflict involved too much to be entrusted to his confederate angels. He must personally conduct the warfare. All the energies of apostasy were rallied against the Son of God. Christ was made the mark of every weapon of hell.—The Desire of Ages, 115, 116.{HB 55.5}[5]
