新约 - 启示录(Revelation)第8章

When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne.
The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand.
Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.
The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood,
a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water--
the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: "Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!"
启示录第八章   启 8:1-2> 七印、七号之后,还没完?还有…… 

  8:1-2 揭开第七印的时候,便出现了七号的审判。同样地,第七号吹响时,宣告了七碗的审判( 11:15 ; 16:1-21 )。七号的审判和七印的审判一样,都只是局部的审判。神最后和全面的审判仍未来到。 

  启 8:3> 香,在祭祀中所象征的…… 

  8:3 圣殿敬拜的仪式中有一个烧着炭的香炉,香倒在炭上面,散发香气的烟便向上飘,象征信徒的祈祷上升到神面前(参出 30:7-9 )。 

  启 8:6> 天使吹号,其来有因! 

  8:6 吹号有三个目的:( 1 )警告世人,审判是确实的;( 2 )呼召神的军队和邪恶的势力争战;( 3 )宣告弥赛亚君王的再来。这些警告催促我们要坚定地信靠基督。 

  启 8:7-12> 四分之一后是三分之一,后来会是──? 

  8:7-12 既然这些审判的号只摧毁了地的三分之一,这只算是神的局部审判,祂的忿怒仍未完全倾倒出来。 

  启 8:11> 茵蔯,如是…… 

  8:11 茵蔯是一种含有苦味的植物,这里象征神审判的苦涩。 

  启 8:13> 祸哉!祸哉!这鹰在向谁宣告快来的灾祸? 

  8:13 哈巴谷曾用鹰来象征快速和毁灭(参哈 1:8 )。这幅图画显示一只强壮有力的鸟在空中飞翔,警告恐怖的事件快要发生了。信徒和非信徒都会经历第 7 至 12 节所描写的恐怖情况,“地上的民”所指的是不信的人,他们要在接着的三枝号的审判中受到灵里的伤害。神已经保证了信徒免受灵里的伤害( 7:2-3 )。 

  启 8:13> 每当世上罪恶满盈,总想神的审判快来到。其实神的安排…… 

  8:13 在 6 章 10 节,殉道者向神呼求说:“你不审判住在地上的人给我们伸流血的冤,要等到几时呢?”我们看见地上的邪恶,也可能会向神呼求说:“要等到几时呢?”在下面的经文中,审判终于来临了。我们可能会感到苦恼和不耐烦,但神有祂的计划和时间表,我们必须相信:祂的安排是最好的。我们可以确实知道审判即将来临,感谢神让你有机会离开罪恶;请把握时间,帮助别人归向祂。──《灵修版圣经注释》
