Ⅱ In Revelation 19:11-16 and 19-21 Christ is revealed as the Word of God—King of kings and Lord of lords: |
一 在婚筵之后(7),基督要以作战将军的身分,带着祂的新妇,就是得胜的信徒,作祂的军队,前来与敌基督争战;人竟敢兴起战争,直接对抗这位万主之主,万王之王: |
A After His wedding feast (v. 7) Christ will come as a fighting General with His bride, the overcoming believers, who are His army, to fight Antichrist; man will even wage war directly against the Lord of lords and the King of kings: |
1 敌基督、假申言者,以及十王和他们的军队,要与羔羊争战。 |
1 Antichrist, the false prophet, and the ten kings and their armies will make war against the Lamb. |
2 这乃是地对抗天,人反对神的争战。 |
2 This war will be a fighting of the earth against the heavens, of man against God. |
3 基督的仇敌要变得更邪恶,甚至对祂宣战。 |
3 Christ's enemies will become all the more evil, even declaring war against Him. |

启十九11 我看见天开了,并且看哪,有一匹白马,骑在马上的,称为忠信真实,祂审判、争战都凭着公义。 14 在天上的众军,骑着白马,穿着细麻衣,又白又洁,跟随着祂。 在启示录十九章十一至十六节和十九至二十一节里,基督被启示为神的话—万王之王,万主之主,回来击败并毁坏敌基督和假申言者。在婚筵之后,基督要以作战将军的身分,带着祂的新妇,就是得胜的信徒,作祂的军队,前来与敌基督和他以下的诸王,并他们的众军,在哈米吉顿争战。这三者要继续与祂敌对。在敌基督的挑唆下,人甚至兴起了战争,直接对抗这位万主之主,万王之王。敌基督、假申言者,以及十王和他们的军队,要与羔羊争战。这乃是地对抗天,人反对神的争战。……实在令人惊奇,人竟敢向神宣战。所以新郎基督要同着祂的新妇而来,与他们争战(新约总论第十四册,二六○页)。 |
Rev. 19:11 …I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sits on it called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 14 And the armies which are in heaven followed Him on white horses, dressed in fine linen, white and clean. In Revelation 19:11-16 and 19-21, Christ is revealed as the Word of God—King of kings and Lord of lords—who returns to defeat and destroy Antichrist and the false prophet. After His wedding feast, Christ will come as a fighting General with His bride, the overcoming believers who are His army, to fight Antichrist, the kings under him, and their armies at Armageddon… Under the instigation of Antichrist, man will even wage war directly against the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Antichrist, the false prophet, and the ten kings and their armies will make war against the Lamb. This war will be a fighting of the earth against the heavens, of man against God…It is indeed astounding that man could actually declare war on God. Therefore, Christ, the Bridegroom, will come with His bride to fight against them. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 4333) |

在启示录十九章十一至二十一节,我们看见新郎得着祂新妇的帮助来与仇敌争战。新郎是元帅,新妇是军队。这将是这对新婚夫妇的蜜月。基督在祂蜜月的期间要清理宇宙。敌基督和假申言者要被扔进火湖里(20),撒但要被捆绑且被丢进无底坑里(二十1~3)。那时,不仅基督觉得欢喜,我们作为祂的新妇,也要觉得欢喜;我们和我们的新郎要享受美妙的蜜月。 哈米吉顿的战争要除去那要来千年国的一切障碍。……在千年国里,整个宇宙将是摆设筵席的厅堂,基督和祂的新妇要 一同工作,清除脏污,把所有的污物都丢进“垃圾箱”,就是火湖里。神清扫宇宙始于创世记一章。首先,祂将污物扫到海里(2),那时海是这宇宙里的垃圾箱。到末了,所有的污物都要放进终极的垃圾箱,就是火湖里。在马太二十五章四十一节,主耶稣说,“你们这被咒诅的,离开我,进入那为魔鬼和他的使者所预备的永火里去。”因为“山羊”跟随魔鬼,所以要被扔进那为魔鬼和他的使者所预备的火湖里。神已经预备了火湖作为“垃圾箱”,用以处理宇宙中的垃圾。敌基督、假申言者和他们的军队,都要被扫进“畚箕”,然后倒入火湖里。千年国之后,撒但自己也要到他们那里去。白色大宝座前的审判之后,所有已死的不信者也要被丢进火湖里。从那时起,就不再有垃圾了。在新耶路撒冷里只有金子、珍珠和宝石。主在哈米吉顿的争战,实际上是把垃圾扫进宇宙的垃圾箱。敌基督对基督的宣战正是给基督扫除敌基督的好机会,基督的新妇会与祂合力作这事。 我们不会被丢进火湖里,却会被聚集在新耶路撒冷中。为了使主能享受愉快的蜜月和千年的国度,一切垃圾都必须扫除干净。我们该期望能有分于这个清理的工作。这将是何等欢喜的事! “忠信真实”是基督的名称〔启十九11〕。基督对神并对那些相信祂的人都是忠信的,祂凭这忠信击败并毁灭了那些反对神并逼迫信徒的人;祂在完成神的经纶,并照顾相信祂者的事上也是真实的。祂是可信赖的,在祂毫无虚伪(新约总论第十四册,二六○至二六二页)。 参读:新约总论,第四百二十五篇。 |
In Revelation 19:11-21 we see that the Bridegroom comes to fight against His enemies with the help of His bride. The Bridegroom is the Commander- in-chief, and the bride is the army. This will be a honeymoon for the newlywed couple. During His honeymoon Christ will clear up the universe. Antichrist and the false prophet will be cast into the lake of fire (v. 20), and Satan will be bound and cast into the abyss (20:1-3). At that time Christ will be happy, and we, His bride, will also be happy as we enjoy a wonderful honeymoon with our Bridegroom. The war at Armageddon will remove all the obstacles to the coming millennial kingdom…In the millennial kingdom the entire universe will be the feasting room, and Christ and His bride will work together to sweep away the dirt, which will be put into the “trash can,” the lake of fire. God's sweeping in the universe began in Genesis 1. First, God swept the dirt into the sea (v. 2); at that time the sea was the trash can in this universe. Eventually, all the dirt will be put in the ultimate trash can, the lake of fire. In Matthew 25:41 the Lord Jesus said, “Go away from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” Because the “goats” followed the devil, they will be cast into the lake of fire prepared for him and his angels. God has prepared the lake of fire as a “trash can” to dispose of all the trash in the universe. Antichrist, the false prophet, and their armies will be swept into the “dust pan” and then dumped into the lake of fire. After the millennium Satan himself will join them there. After the judgment at the great white throne, all the dead unbelievers will also be cast into the lake of fire. From that time onward, there will be no more dust. In the New Jerusalem there will be only gold, pearl, and precious stones. The Lord's fighting in the war at Armageddon will actually be a sweeping of the dirt into the universal trash can. Antichrist's declaration of war on Christ will give Him the perfect opportunity to sweep Antichrist away, and the bride of Christ will cooperate with Him in doing this. Instead of being cast into the lake of fire, we will be gathered into the New Jerusalem. In order for the Lord to enjoy a pleasant honeymoon and the thousand-year kingdom, all the trash must be swept away. We should look forward to participating in this cleaning work. How pleasant it will be! Faithful and True will be a title of Christ [Rev. 19:11]. Christ is faithful both to God and to those who believe in Him. In His faithfulness He defeats and destroys those who oppose God and persecute the believers. He is true in carrying out God's economy and in caring for those who believe in Him. He is trustworthy, and with Him there is no falsehood. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 4333-4335) Further Reading: The Conclusion of the New Testament, msg. 425 |
