Chap.7 - My First Vision
教会证言-卷一-第7章
一八四四年的时期过去之后不久,我得着第一个异象。当时我正在拜访一位在基督里的亲爱姊妹,我们彼此心意契合;当时我们有五位姊妹在一起作家庭礼拜,静静地跪下祷告。正在祈祷的时候,上帝的能力临到我的身上,是我以前所从未感觉到的。我好像被光辉所环绕,渐渐从这个地上高而又高地上升。我转过身来想要看看世上的复临信徒,可是找不到他们,当时有声音对我说:“你再看,稍微往高处看看。”于是我举目向上观看,见有一条笔直的窄路,远远高过这个世界。那些复临信徒正在这路上往圣城走去。在他们的后面,就是这路的起点处,有一道明光;有一位天使告诉我说,这光就是那“半夜的呼声”。这光照耀着全部路程,使他们的脚步不至绊跌。耶稣自己行在他们前面带领他们前进,他们若定睛仰望祂,就得安全。但不久就有人感到疲倦,并说那城离他们太远,他们原来盼望早能进去。那时耶稣就举起祂荣耀的右手鼓励他们,从祂手上发出一道光来向这队复临信徒挥动示意;他们便呼喊说:“哈利路亚!”其他的人则轻率地否认那在他们后面的光,说那领他们奔走这遥远路程的不是上帝。于是他们后面的光就熄灭了,他们的脚步也就陷于全然黑暗之中;他们既看不见耶稣和前面的目标,便从那路上跌到下面黑暗罪恶的世界中去了。{1T 58.4}[1]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
It was not long after the passing of the time in 1844 that my first vision was given me. I was visiting a dear sister in Christ, whose heart was knit with mine; five of us, all women, were kneeling quietly at the family altar. While we were praying, the power of God came upon me as I had never felt it before. I seemed to be surrounded with light, and to be rising higher and higher from the earth. I turned to look for the advent people in the world, but could not find them, when a voice said to me: "Look again, and look a little higher." At this I raised my eyes and saw a straight and narrow path, cast up high above the world. On this path the advent people were traveling toward the city. Behind them, at the beginning of the path, was a bright light which an angel told me was the midnight cry. This light shone all along the path, that their feet might not stumble. Jesus Himself went just before His people to lead them forward, and as long as they kept their eyes fixed on Him, they were safe. But soon some grew weary, and said the city was a great way off, and they expected to have entered it before. Then Jesus would encourage them by raising His glorious right arm, from which came a light that waved over the advent band; and they shouted: "Alleluia!" Others rashly denied the light behind them, and said it was not God that had led them out so far. The light behind them went out, leaving their feet in perfect darkness, and they stumbled and lost sight of the mark and of Jesus, and fell off the path down into the dark and wicked world below.{1T 58.4}[1]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
不久我们听见上帝的声音好像众水的响声,告诉我们耶稣复临的日子和时辰。那活着的圣徒,数目有144,000,认识这声音并且明白它的意思,但恶人却以为它是雷轰和地震。当上帝宣布时间的时候,祂就将圣灵沛降给我们,这时我们的脸就发光,显出上帝的荣耀,正如昔日摩西从西奈山上下来的时候一样。{1T 59.1}[2]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
Soon we heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave us the day and hour of Jesus' coming. The living saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an earthquake. When God spake the time, He poured upon us the Holy Spirit, and our faces began to light up and shine with the glory of God, as Moses' did when he came down from Mount Sinai.{1T 59.1}[2]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
那十四万四千人都受了印记,并且是完全同心合意的。他们的额上写着:“上帝,新耶路撒冷,” 并有一颗含有耶稣新名的荣耀的星。恶人见到我们喜乐圣洁的情景便甚恼怒,而穷凶极恶地向我们扑来,要捉我们下监,但我们奉主的名伸出手来,他们就毫无力量地倒在地上。这时撒但一会的人知道上帝已爱了我们这班能彼此洗脚,并彼此以圣洁的亲嘴问安的人,他们便在我们的脚前下拜。{1T 59.2}[3]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
The 144,000 were all sealed and perfectly united. On their foreheads were the words God, New Jerusalem, and a glorious star containing Jesus' new name. At our happy, holy state the wicked were enraged, and would rush violently up to lay hands on us to thrust us into prison, when we would stretch forth the hand in the name of the Lord, and they would fall helpless to the ground. Then it was that the synagogue of Satan knew that God had loved us, who could wash one another's feet, and salute the brethren with a holy kiss, and they worshiped at our feet. {1T 59.2}[3]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
不久,我们引目向东观看,见有一小片黑云出现,只有人的半个手掌那么大,我们都晓得这是人子降临的预兆。当这云临近时,我们都以严肃的静默看着它;它越来越光明,越荣耀,直到成为一大片白云。云底下仿佛是烈火;云上驾有一道虹,它的四围有成万的天使,唱着极美妙的诗歌;有人子坐在其上,祂的头发洁白卷曲,纷披在祂的肩上;祂头上戴有许多冠冕。祂的脚像火;右手拿着快镰刀;左手拿着银号筒。祂的眼睛像火焰,能深深洞察祂儿女的心肠肺腑。{1T 60.1}[4]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
Soon our eyes were drawn to the east, for a small black cloud had appeared, about half as large as a man's hand, which we all knew was the sign of the Son of man. In solemn silence we all gazed on the cloud as it drew nearer, and became lighter, glorious, and still more glorious, till it was a great white cloud. The bottom appeared like fire; a rainbow was over the cloud, while around it were ten thousand angels, singing a most lovely song; and upon it sat the Son of man. His hair was white and curly and lay on His shoulders, and upon His head were many crowns. His feet had the appearance of fire; in His right hand was a sharp sickle, in His left a silver trumpet. His eyes were as a flame of fire, which searched His children through and through.{1T 60.1}[4]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
那时众人的脸面都变青了,而那些被上帝所弃绝的人的脸却变成紫黑。那时我们都喊叫说:“谁能站立得住呢?我的衣服没有污点么?”众天使止息了歌声,一时呈现了极可怕的肃静,然后耶稣说:“那些手洁心清的人,必能站立得住;我的恩典是够你们用的。”于是我们的脸焕然发光,人人的心中都充满了快乐。众天使就用更高的声调再度歌唱,同时那云彩就更加临近地面。接着耶稣的银号筒吹响了,祂驾云降临,有火焰四面环绕着。祂注视那些睡了的圣徒的坟墓,然后向天举目伸手,并且喊叫说:“醒起!醒起!醒起!你们睡在尘埃中的人,要起来!”当即有一次极大的地震。坟墓都裂开了,死人就从坟墓中出来,披上了不朽。当那十四万四千人认出他们曾被死亡掳去的亲友时,他们就喊叫说:“哈利路亚!”同时我们也改变了,和他们一同被提起,在空中与主相遇。{1T 60.2}[5]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
Then all faces gathered paleness, and those that God had rejected gathered blackness. Then we all cried out: "Who shall be able to stand Is my robe spotless?" The angels ceased to sing, and there was a time of awful silence, when Jesus spoke: "Those who have clean hands and pure hearts shall be able to stand; My grace is sufficient for you." At this, our faces lighted up, and joy filled every heart. And the angels struck a note higher and sang again, while the cloud drew still nearer the earth. Then Jesus' silver trumpet sounded, as He descended on the cloud, wrapped in flames of fire. He gazed on the graves of the sleeping saints, then raised His eyes and hands to heaven, and cried: "Awake! Awake! Awake! ye that sleep in the dust, and arise." Then there was a mighty earthquake. The graves opened, and the dead came up clothed with immortality. The 144,000 shouted, "Alleluia!" as they recognized their friends who had been torn from them by death, and in the same moment we were changed, and caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air.{1T 60.2}[5]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
我们一起进入云中,用了七天的光阴升到玻璃海,那时耶稣拿来冠冕,亲自用右手加在我们头上。祂又赐给我们金琴和象征胜利的棕树枝。那144,000人以一个完美的方阵站在玻璃海上。其中有些人的冠冕非常辉煌,其他的则不如他们的光亮。有的冠冕戴满了明星,其他的则只有少数几颗。但每人对于自己的冠冕都非常满意。他们都穿着光明的白袍,从两肩直垂到脚背。当我们在玻璃海上列队前进走向城门时,众天使都在四面环围着。耶稣举起祂那大能而光荣的手持住珍珠的门,把那门在它金光闪耀的铰链处打开,对我们说:“你们已经在我的血里把衣裳洗净,并且坚守了我的真理;进来吧。”于是我们都走了进去,并且自觉有充分的权利在那里。{1T 60.3}[6]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
We all entered the cloud together, and were seven days ascending to the sea of glass, when Jesus brought the crowns, and with His own right hand placed them on our heads. He gave us harps of gold and palms of victory. Here on the sea of glass the 144,000 stood in a perfect square. Some had very bright crowns, others not so bright. Some crowns appeared heavy with stars, while others had but few. All were perfectly satisfied with their crowns. And they were all clothed with a glorious white mantle from their shoulders to their feet. Angels were all about us as we marched over the sea of glass to the gate of the city. Jesus raised His mighty, glorious arm, laid hold of the pearly gate, swung it back on its glittering hinges, and said to us: "You have washed your robes in My blood, stood stiffly for My truth, enter in." We all marched in and felt we had a perfect right there.{1T 60.3}[6]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
我们在城里看见生命树和上帝的宝座。从宝座流出一道明净的河水,河的两岸有生命树。在河这边有一棵树干,在河那边也有一棵树干,都是纯洁透明的金子作的。起先我以为所看见的是两棵树。后来我再看一看,就看出这两棵树在上面连成了一棵。所以这就是在河这边与河那边的生命树。树枝垂到我们所站的地方,其上的果子极为荣美;看上去好像是金银掺合而成的。{1T 61.1}[7]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
Within the city we saw the tree of life and the throne of God. Out of the throne came a pure river of water, and on either side of the river was the tree of life. On one side of the river was a trunk of a tree, and a trunk on the other side of the river, both of pure, transparent gold. At first I thought I saw two trees; I looked again, and saw that they were united at the top in one tree. So it was the tree of life on either side of the river of life. Its branches bowed to the place where we stood; and the fruit was glorious, which looked like gold mixed with silver.{1T 61.1}[7]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
我们都走到树下面,坐着观看那地方的荣美,随即有先前传扬天国福音,后来被上帝安放在坟墓里为要救他们的菲奇和斯托克曼两位弟兄来到我们面前,询问当他们安睡时我们所有的经历。我们试图回忆我们最严重的试炼,但这些试炼与我们周围所看到极重无比永远的荣耀相较,真是微不足道,我们便喊叫说:“哈利路亚!天国真值得呀!”于是我们就拨动自己荣美的金琴,使天庭充满宏亮的乐声。{1T 61.2}[8]
教会证言-卷一-第7章
We all went under the tree, and sat down to look at the glory of the place, when Brethren Fitch and Stockman, who had preached the gospel of the kingdom, and whom God had laid in the grave to save them, came up to us, and asked us what we had passed through while they were sleeping. We tried to call up our greatest trials, but they looked so small compared with the far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory that surrounded us, that we could not speak them out, and we all cried out, "Alleluia! Heaven is cheap enough," and we touched our golden harps and made heaven's arches ring.{1T 61.2}[8]
