彰显主基督-第208章
We have a “More Sure Word of Prophecy,” July 26
彰显主基督-第208章
“我们从前将我们主耶稣基督的大能和衪降临的事告诉你们,并不是随从乖巧捏造的虚言”(彼后1:16){RC221.1}
彰显主基督-第208章
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:16. {RC 221.1}
彰显主基督-第208章
彼得很有资格讲论上帝对于人类所有的旨意。因为当基督在地上传道时,彼得已经看见和听到许多有关天国的事物。他提醒众信徒说:“我们从前将我们主耶稣基督的大能,和祂降临的事告诉你们,并不是随从乖巧捏造的虚言,乃是亲眼见过祂的威荣。祂从父上帝得尊贵荣耀的时候,从极大荣光之中,有声音出来向他说:这是我的爱子,我所喜悦的;我们同祂在圣山的时候,亲自听见这声音从天上出来。”{RC221.2}
彰显主基督-第208章
The apostle was well qualified to speak of the purposes of God concerning the human race; for during the earthly ministry of Christ he had seen and heard much that pertained to the kingdom of God. “We have not followed cunningly devised fables,” he reminded the believers, “when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.” {RC 221.2}

这种有关信徒希望的可靠证据虽然是如此确切,但先知预言所作的见证却是更可靠的证据。人人的信心都可以因这种见证而加强,并且得着牢靠的锚。彼得说:“我们并有先知更确的预言,如同灯照在暗处;你们在这预言上留意,直等到天发亮,晨星在你们心里出现的时候,才是好的。第一要紧的,该知道经上所有的预言,没有可随私意解说的;因为预言从来没有出于人意的,乃是人被圣灵感动,说出上帝的话来。”{RC221.3}
彰显主基督-第208章
Yet convincing as was this evidence of the certainty of the believers’ hope, there was another still more convincing in the witness of prophecy, through which the faith of all must be confirmed and securely anchored. “We have also,” Peter declared, “a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” {RC 221.3}
彰显主基督-第208章
使徒一面高举“更确的预言”作为危险时日的可靠向导,一面严肃地警告教会务要防备虚谎预言的灯火。这是一班“假师傅”所要提倡的,他们“私自引进陷害人的异端,连买他们的主他们也不承认。”这些假师傅将要在教会中兴起,并为许多同道弟兄所承认为真教师。但彼得却把他们比作“无水的井,是狂风催逼的雾气,有墨黑的幽暗为他们存留。”彼得说:“他们末后的景况,就比先前更不好了。他们晓得义路,竟背弃了传给他们的圣命,倒不如不晓得为妙。”……{RC221.4}
彰显主基督-第208章
While exalting the “sure word of prophecy” as a safe guide in times of peril, the apostle solemnly warned the church against the torch of false prophecy, which would be uplifted by “false teachers,” who would privily bring in “damnable heresies, even denying the Lord” (2 Peter 2:1). These false teachers, arising in the church and accounted true by many of their brethren in the faith, the apostle compared to “wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.” “The latter end is worse with them,” he declared, “than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.” ... {RC 221.4}

然而总有一些人不至于受仇敌诡计的迷惑。当地上万物的结局临近时,必有一些忠诚的信徒能辨识时事的预兆。正当许多有名无实的信徒在行动上否定自己的信仰时,另外却有一班“忍耐到底”的余民。……{RC221.5}“亲爱的弟兄啊!你们既盼望这些事,就当殷勤,使自己没有玷污,无可指摘,安然见主。”(AA.534-536){RC221.6}
彰显主基督-第208章
Not all, however, would be ensnared by the enemy’s devices. As the end of all things earthly should approach, there would be faithful ones able to discern the signs of the times. While a large number of professing believers would deny their faith by their works, there would be a remnant who would endure to the end.... “Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.”—The Acts of the Apostles, 534-536. {RC 221.5}
