新约 - 启示录(Revelation)第11章

I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there.
But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months.
And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth."
These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.
If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.
These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them.
Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial.
The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.
But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them.
Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.
At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
The second woe has passed; the third woe is coming soon.
The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever."
And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God,
saying: "We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.
The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great--and for destroying those who destroy the earth."
Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm.
启示录第十一章   启 11:1-10> 没有圣殿,也要量度?这圣殿也许只是象征…… 

  11:1-10 这座圣殿很可能是教会(所有信徒)的象征,因为新耶路撒冷里没有圣殿( 21:22 )。约翰量度圣殿,表示神正为祂的子民建造保护的围墙,以免他们受灵性上的伤害,那地方也是为那些忠心的信徒预备的。 

  启 11:2> 殿里殿外,所遇的竟有这样的分别…… 

  11:2 在殿里敬拜的人要得到灵里的保护,但那些在圣殿以外的,则要面对极大的迫害。这是说真正的信徒将会得到保护,度过灾难的时刻,但那些拒绝相信的人将要被毁灭。 

  启 11:3> 两个见证人,会是谁呢?是我?是你? 

  11:3 这两位见证人极可能是伟大的先知摩西和以利亚。靠着神的大能,摩西降灾在埃及地(参出 8-11 章);以利亚击败巴力的先知(参王上 18 章)。他们两位都在基督变像的时候一同出现(参太 17:1-7 )。 

  启 11:3> 四十二个月,一千二百六十天,只可以看作比喻?只用作实解? 

  11:3 启示录里面的数字,可能都有象征的意思,不应按字面解释。四十二个月或 1260 天等于三年半,这是七(完全的数字)的一半,三又二分之一表示不完全、不完美、或者甚至邪恶。请留意所预言的这段期间中的事件:困苦的事出现(参但 12:7 ),圣城被践踏( 11:2 ),妇人在荒野避难( 12:6 ),受魔鬼策动的兽控制了世界( 13:5 )。有解经家把三年半和以利亚年间饥荒的年期连在一起(参路 4:25 ,雅 5:17 ),因为玛拉基曾预言,以利亚要在最后审判之前重临地上(参玛 4:5 ),而但以理和启示录所记载的事件都是为主的再来铺路,约翰大概可能把这三年半和以利亚年间的饥荒连在一起。这三年半当然也可作字面上的解释,这样的话,我们便会清楚地知道这三年半何时结束。无论作象征性的、或是字面上的解释,都是指出邪恶的统治必定有一个结束的时间。 

  启 11:7> 兽,你我都熟悉的名字…… 

  11:7 那兽可能是指撒但或是它的差役。 

  启 11:8-9> 衰落的耶路撒冷,竟被比作罪恶之城,它的光景…… 

  11:8-9 耶路撒冷曾经是伟大的城市,也是以色列的首都,现在却成为仇敌的属土,更被比作以邪恶闻名的所多玛和埃及。约翰写这卷书的时候,耶路撒冷已经在公元 70 年被罗马毁坏,接近一百万犹太人被屠杀,圣殿里的宝物也被掳到罗马去了。 

  启 11:10> 指出人家的恶,会被憎恨,如先知们一样,你怕吗? 

  11:10 全世界的人都为了这两位先知的死而兴高采烈,因为先知指斥他们的罪,叫他们悔改,并说审判快要来到。有罪的人憎恶那些提醒他们认罪和催促他们悔改的人。他们憎恨基督和祂的跟随者(参约壹 3:13 )。当你顺服基督,对抗罪恶的时候,也会惹起世人的憎恨。但要牢记,你今日面对的苦难,若与那天上的大赏赐相比,就显得微不足道了。 

  启 11:15> 七号吹响,最后的审判要来了!谁还可以避过? 

  11:15 第七号吹响,宣称王的驾临。此时就不能回转了。那要来的审判不再是局部的,乃是全面的毁灭。神掌管着一切,祂要向那些拒绝归向祂的人完全倾倒祂的愤怒( 9:20-21 )。灾祸一旦开始,就没有人能够逃脱了。 

  启 11:16> 11:16 有关二十四位长老的经文,请参考 4 章 4 节的注释。 

  启 11:18> 赏赐若是即时的,很容易成了试探,你的意见呢? 

  11:18 在圣经里,神是按着他们应得的分来赏赐子民的。在整个旧约里,顺服常常在今生带来赏赐(参申 28 章),但顺服也不一定会立刻得到赏赐,否则,好人应该都是富翁,而苦难便会成为犯罪的标志。倘若因行善而迅速得赏赐,我们很快便会以为自己挺好,不久,更会为了自私的动机而行善了。神要为了我们地上的工作而赏赐我们( 20:12 ),这是真的,但我们最大的赏赐乃是与祂共享永生。 

  启 11:19> 约柜,所预示的…… 

  11:19 在旧约时代,约柜是以色列国最神圣的国宝。(有关约柜的资料,请参出 37:1 的注释。)──《灵修版圣经注释》
