新约 - 启示录(Revelation)第6章

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!"
I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!"
Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.
When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.
Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"
I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.
They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?"
Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.
I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red,
and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind.
The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
They called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!
For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"
启示录第六章   启 6:1-17> 印,一一被揭开,其内要揭示的是关系整个人类历史的…… 

  6:1-17 这是三组审判的第一组,号( 8 至 9 章)和碗( 16 章)是另外两组的审判。揭开每一个印的时候,那羔羊基督便开启了促使人类历史迈向终结的事件。直至揭开第七印时( 8:1 ),书卷才会完全打开。这书卷的内容揭露了人类的败坏,也说明了神掌管人类历史的权力。 

  启 6:2-8> 四匹不同的马,施行不同的审判,你可知道它们代表什么? 

  6:2-8 揭开起头的四个印,有四匹马出现。这些马代表神向人类的罪恶和反叛的审判。神正在导演人类的历史,祂甚至使用敌人来成就祂的旨意。这四匹马只是那要来的最后审判的预示。这章所说的某些异象,与耶稣在橄榄山说的末世预言(参太 24 章)有某些相似。四匹马的异象亦见于撒迦利亚书 6 章 1 至 8 节。四匹马各有不同的颜色,有人说白马代表胜利,而骑它的便是基督,因为基督稍后要在白马上得胜( 19:11 )。但既然其余的三匹马和审判、毁灭有关,似乎骑这匹白马的不应该是指基督。相反的,应是敌基督。其余有颜色的马代表着不同形式的审判:红马代表战争和流血;黑马代表饥荒,极昂贵的麦子和酒表明饥荒的情况,但仍未算最恶劣;灰马代表死亡。 

  启 6:8> 杀害地上四分之一的人,我神的审判是太重还是太轻了? 

  6:8 四骑士得到权力控制四分之一的人,表示神仍然抑制着祂的审判──使人仍然可以有机会归向基督、离开罪恶。这样,有限的惩罚不但说明了神对罪恶的忿怒,也说明了祂的慈爱,因祂给世人有另一次机会,在最后审判来临之前归向祂。 

  启 6:9-11> 有血在祭坛下,声声呼怨,是谁的声音? 

  6:9-11 祭坛代表圣殿中献祭的坛,祭牲被献在上面赎罪。约翰在坛下看到的不是祭牲的血,而是为福音而死的殉道者的灵魂。有话告诉这些殉道者说,有更多的人要为了相信基督而被杀( 6:11 )。面对战争、饥荒、迫害和死亡时,基督徒要为了信仰的缘故站稳,只有那些忍耐到底的人才可以得到神的赏赐(参可 13:13 )。 

  启 6:9-11> 要等到几时呢?你也在等待吗?面对殉道者,神的回应是…… 

  6:9-11 这些殉道者急切盼望神把公义带来,但有声音告诉他们要等待。为信仰受苦和死去的人是不会被遗忘的。他们会被神挑选出来得到特殊的荣誉。我们也许像这些殉道者一样,希望神立刻伸张正义,但我们必须忍耐。神有祂自己的计划,并且祂已经应许要执行公义。无论如何,为神的国度受苦绝不是徒然的。 

  启 6:12> 第六个印所带来的震撼…… 

  6:12 第六印把舞台转回到地上。前五段审判都是指着特别的区域,但第六印的审判却是普世性的。大地震撼的时候,每个人都惊惶失措。 

  启 6:15-17> 末后的日子人人怕!我怕吗? 

  6:15-17 看到了神坐在宝座上,普世的人都惊吓得魂不附体,哀求群山岩石倒下来盖着他们,使他们不用面对羔羊的审判。这幅生动的图画并非要恐吓信徒,对他们来说,羔羊是仁慈的救主;但那些以前从不敬畏神,并且骄傲地炫耀自己不信神的人,他们会发觉自己错了。到那一天,他们要面对神的忿怒。拒绝神的人,没有一个可以逃得过祂的忿怒!但属于基督的人却要获得奖赏,而不是惩罚。你属于基督吗?如果是的话,便不用恐惧这些末后的日子。──《灵修版圣经注释》
