信仰的基础-第280章
“又有第二位天使接着说:‘叫万民喝邪淫、大怒之酒的巴比伦大城倾倒了,倾倒了’”(启14:8)!{FLB 285.1}[1]

A Movement Fulfilling Prophecy
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.Revelation 14:8.{FLB 285.1}[1]

《启示录》第十四章第二位天使的信息最早是在一八四四年夏季传开的,而且最适合于当时美国的各教会,因为那里是审判的警告宣传最广而被人广为拒绝的地方,又是各教会退化最为迅速的地方。但这第二位天使的信息在一八四四年还没有达到全面的应验。那时各教会固然因拒绝基督复临的信息,而经历了一次属灵方面的堕落;但那次的堕落还不是完全的。当他们继续拒绝特别适合于本时代的真理时,他们便越降越低了。虽然如此,我们还不能说“巴比伦倾倒了,……因为列国都被她邪淫大怒的酒倾倒了。”到此为止,她还没有使列国都这样作。……叛道的工作还没有达到最高峰呢。{FLB 285.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第280章
The second angel’s message of Revelation 14?was first preached in the summer of 1844, and it then had a more direct application to the churches of the United States, where the warning of the judgment had been most widely proclaimed and most generally rejected, and where the declension in the churches had been most rapid. But the message of the second angel did not reach its complete fulfillment in 1844. The churches then experienced a moral fall, in consequence of their refusal of the light of the Advent message; but that fall was not complete. As they have continued to reject the special truths for this time, they have fallen lower and lower. Not yet, however, can it be said that “Babylon is fallen, ... because she made?all nations?drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” She has not yet made all nations do this.... The work of apostasy has not yet reached its culmination.{FLB 285.2}[2]
信仰的基础-第280章
圣经说明在救主复临之前,撒但要“行各样的异能神迹,和一切虚假的奇事,并且……行各样出于不义的诡诈;”于是那些“不领受爱真理的心,使他们得救”的人,便要得到“一个生发错误的心,叫他们信从虚谎”(帖后2:9-11)。及至各教会发展到这个地步,而教会与世俗的联合在基督教界全面实现之后,巴比伦的倾倒才能算为完全。这种变化乃是逐步发展的,所以《启示录》十八章四节的全面应验还在将来。{FLB 285.3}[3]
信仰的基础-第280章
The Bible declares that before the coming of the Lord, Satan will work “with?all?power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness;” and they that “received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,” will be left to receive “strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.”2 Thessalonians 2:9-11. Not until this condition shall be reached, and the union of the church with the world shall be fully accomplished throughout Christendom, will the fall of Babylon be complete. The change is a progressive one, and the perfect fulfillment of Revelation 14:8?is yet future.{FLB 285.3}[3]

组成巴比伦的各教会虽然因灵性的黑暗而远离了上帝,但基督的真信徒多半还是在这些团体中。他们当中有许多人还没有看明那特别适合于现时代的真理。(GC 389,390){FLB 285.4}[4]
信仰的基础-第280章
Notwithstanding the spiritual darkness and alienation from God that exist in the churches which constitute Babylon, the great body of Christ’s true followers are still to be found in their communion. There are many of these who have never seen the special truths for this time.19{FLB 285.4}[4]
