啟示錄22:10-13



22:10 他又對我說:「不可封了這書上的預言,因為日期近了。
22:11 不義的,叫他仍舊不義;污穢的,叫他仍舊污穢;為義的,叫他仍舊為義;聖潔的,叫他仍舊聖潔。」
22:12 「看哪,我必快來!賞罰在我,要照各人所行的報應他。
22:13 我是阿拉法,我是俄梅戛;我是首先的,我是末後的;我是初,我是終。」

And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.  Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”
  “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

*************

    現今的基督徒對於基督的再來似乎好像冷淡或忽略但是,基督的再來在聖經中是不斷的出現,也是基督徒對將來盼望之重大信仰基礎。若是一位基督徒,不盼望耶穌基督的再來,他的信仰就不完全了!

    然而,世人要接受這個信仰基礎是不容易的,他們認為這是荒謬的因為他們不接受耶穌基督的復活,也不接受死人要復活。基督徒不只接受靈性上的復活,也接受身體的復活。因為,這是聖經給我們的啟示。

    也因此,復活的信仰是接受耶穌基督再來重要的根基,兩者是相輔相成,也是基督徒預備主耶穌基督再來所必備的!

啟示錄22:6-7



22:6 天使又對我說:「這些話是真實可信的。主就是眾先知被感之靈的上帝,差遣他的使者,將那必要快成的事指示他僕人。」
22:7 「看哪,我必快來!凡遵守這書上預言的有福了!」

And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”
  “And behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

    使徒約翰再次宣告啟示錄的重要性與必然性提醒人預備好自己迎接主耶穌的再來

啟示錄22:3-5



22:3 以後再沒有咒詛;在城裡有上帝和羔羊的寶座;他的僕人都要事奉他,
22:4 也要見他的面。他的名字必寫在他們的額上。
22:5 不再有黑夜;他們也不用燈光、日光,因為主上帝要光照他們。他們要作王,直到永永遠遠。

No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him.  They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.  And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.

    這裡讓我們看見屬乎基督的人要做王直到永永遠遠

    上帝這樣的應許必定會成就的



啟示錄22:1-2



22:1 天使又指示我在城內街道當中一道生命水的河,明亮如水晶,從上帝和羔羊的寶座流出來。
22:2 在河這邊與那邊有生命樹,結十二樣(或譯:回)果子,每月都結果子;樹上的葉子乃為醫治萬民。

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb  through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations

    這幅畫讓我們看見聖靈聖靈是生命河的水這水使生命樹的果子可以結出來果子供給生命葉子使人得醫治

    這是上帝何等的恩典啊


啟示錄21:22-27



21:22 我未見城內有殿,因主上帝─全能者和羔羊為城的殿。
21:23 那城內又不用日月光照;因有上帝的榮耀光照,又有羔羊為城的燈。
21:24 列國要在城的光裡行走;地上的君王必將自己的榮耀歸與那城。
21:25 城門白晝總不關閉,在那裡原沒有黑夜。
21:26 人必將列國的榮耀、尊貴歸與那城。
21:27 凡不潔淨的,並那行可憎與虛謊之事的,總不得進那城;只有名字寫在羔羊生命冊上的才得進去。

And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.  And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.  By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it,  and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there.  They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.  But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

    這裡讓我們看見:「主上帝─全能者和羔羊為城的殿」;「城內有上帝的榮耀光照,又有羔羊為城的燈」;「地上的君王必將自己的榮耀歸與那城」;「在那裡原沒有黑夜」;「人必將列國的榮耀、尊貴歸與那城;「凡不潔淨的,並那行可憎與虛謊之事的,總不得進那城;只有名字寫在羔羊生命冊上的才得進去」。

    你使否渴慕進入那城呢趕快信靠主耶穌因為只有屬於基督的人才能進入那城
