Intolerance and Persecution, January 23
主必快来-第24章
“他们若逼迫了我,也要逼迫你们;若遵守了我的话,也要遵守你们的话”(约15:20)。
主必快来-第24章
If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. John 15:20. {Mar 31.1}
主必快来-第24章
各种各式的逼迫都是从一个原则发展出来的。只要撒但一天存在,只要基督教一天不失去它的活力,这个原则也必存在一天。人不能事奉上帝而不同时招惹黑暗大军的反对。恶使者必要来攻击他,因为看到他的感化力把他们的俘虏夺去。恶人既因他的榜样而受到责备,便要与恶使者合作,设法用种种引诱使他远离上帝。这些方法既不成功,他们就要运用强权来胁迫他的良心。{Mar 31.1}
主必快来-第24章
Persecution in its varied forms is the development of a principle which will exist as long as Satan exists and Christianity has vital power. No man can serve God without enlisting against himself the opposition of the hosts of darkness. Evil angels will assail him, alarmed that his influence is taking the prey from their hands. Evil men, rebuked by his example, will unite with them in seeking to separate him from God by alluring temptations. When these do not succeed, then a compelling power is employed to force the conscience. {Mar 31.2}
主必快来-第24章
但只要耶稣还在天上圣所中为人类作中保。世上的官长和民众仍要受圣灵的限制。现今圣灵还多少影响着人间的法律。若是没有这些法律,世界的局势就要比现今远为恶劣。虽然在官长中有许多是撒但的积极代理人,但在国家的领袖之间上帝也有祂的代理人。仇敌撒但时常鼓动自己的仆人发起一些足以使上帝的工作大受拦阻的法令;但一些敬畏上帝的政治家却受到圣天使的感化,就用无可辩驳的论据来反对这一类的提案。这样,很少的几个人就能挡住强大的罪恶狂澜。真理之敌的反对势力必要受到约束,让第三位天使的信息可以完成它的工作。当这最后的警告被人传开的时候,它就必引起现今上帝所使用的领袖们的注意,其中也必有一些人接受这警告,并在大艰难的时期中与上帝的子民站在一起。……{Mar 31.2}
主必快来-第24章
But so long as Jesus remains man’s intercessor in the sanctuary above, the restraining influence of the Holy Spirit is felt by rulers and people. It still controls to some extent the laws of the land. Were it not for these laws, the condition of the world would be much worse than it now is. While many of our rulers are active agents of Satan, God also has His agents among the leading men of the nation. The enemy moves upon his servants to propose measures that would greatly impede the work of God; but statesmen who fear the Lord are influenced by holy angels to oppose such propositions with unanswerable arguments. Thus a few men will hold in check a powerful current of evil. The opposition of the enemies of truth will be restrained that the third angel’s message may do its work. When the final warning shall be given, it will arrest the attention of these leading men through whom the Lord is now working, and some of them will accept it, and will stand with the people of God through the time of trouble.... {Mar 31.3}

“锡安的民哪,你们要快乐,为耶和华你们的上帝欢喜,……”(珥2:23)。“上帝说,在末后的日子,我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的。”“到那时候,凡求告主名的,就必得救”(徒2:17,21)。{Mar 31.3}

“Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God....” Joel 2:23. “In the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh.” “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Acts 2:17, 21. {Mar 31.4}
主必快来-第24章
在福音大工结束时,上帝能力的显现并不逊于福音开始宣传的时候。(GC 610,611){Mar 31.4}
主必快来-第24章
The great work of the gospel is not to close with less manifestation of the power of God than marked its opening.35 {Mar 31.5}
