4在本篇信息中，我们要来看包罗万有的基督作耶和华仆人的两面。首先，祂是耶和华的受膏者。赛六一1。)这是旧约里一个非常宝贵的辞。第二，祂是耶和华面前的使者。(六三9。)有些人可能喜欢说，『在耶和华面前的使者』，但圣经的原文是说，『祂面的使者。』
4In this message we want to see the all-inclusive Christ as the Servant of Jehovah in two aspects. First, He is the Anointed of Jehovah. This is a very precious term in the Old Testament. Second, He is the Angel of the presence of Jehovah. Some may think that to say “the Angel of the presence of Jehovah” is wrong. We may prefer to say “the Angel in the presence of Jehovah.” But the text of the Scripture says “the Angel of His presence” (Isa. 63:9
5论到耶和华的使者最显著的一章，是出埃及第三章。耶和华的使者就是护卫以色列全族出埃及，经过旷野并进入美地的那位。至终，这位耶和华的使者，又出现在撒迦利亚一章。祂骑在红马上，与神受苦的子民一起，好服事他们。耶和华的使者在以色列人四十年旷野飘流的整个行程中，服事他们。在出埃及十四章，我们看见祂在最前面领路。当埃及的军兵在后面追赶时，使者就转到他们后边去。（19。）祂亲自保护以色列脱离埃及的军兵。那位耶和华的使者就是主耶稣。
5The most striking chapter on the Angel of Jehovah is Exodus 3. The Angel of Jehovah was the One who escorted the entire race of Israel out of Egypt through the wilderness and into the good land. Eventually this One, the Angel of Jehovah, is in Zechariah 1. He is the One who rides on the red horse, who was suffering with God’s suffering people in order to serve them. The Angel of Jehovah served the children of Israel in their whole journey of forty years in the wilderness. In Exodus 14 we can see that He was taking the lead at the forefront. When the Egyptian army was chasing after Israel, the Angel turned to the rear (v. 1 9). He Himself protected Israel from the Egyptian army. That Angel of Jehovah was the Lord Jesus.
6以赛亚书中关于包罗万有的基督最末了的一项，乃是耶和华面前的使者，更准确的说，是『耶和华面的使者』。祂是耶和华面的使者，意思乃是祂就是耶和华的面。『祂面的使者』，指明『祂的面』和『使者』是同位。我若与你在一起，你和我是两个人。我若是你的，就是说你和我是一。丈夫可能说，他是他妻子的，那就是说他与他的妻子是一。『在祂面前的...』含示两个人。『祂面...的』，含示一个人。耶和华的使者就是耶和华的面。如果我说，『在基督里的生命』，这是说生命与基督是两个。如果我说，『基督的生命』，这是说生命是基督。耶和华面的使者，意思是这位使者就是耶和华的面。
6The last item of the all - inclusive Christ in the book of Isaiah is the Angel of, not in, the presence of Jehovah. His being the Angel of the presence of Jehovah means that He is the presence of Jehovah. Of indicates apposition. If I am with you, that means you and I are two persons. If I am of you, this makes us one. A husband may say that he is of his wife. That means that he and his wife are one. In the presence implies two persons. Of the presence means one person. The Angel of Jehovah is just Jehovah’s presence. If I say, “the life in Christ,” this means the life and Christ are two. If I say, “the life of Christ,” this means the life is Christ. The Angel of the presence of Jehovah means that this very Angel is the presence of Jehovah.
7耶和华的使者，从出埃及三章经过以赛亚书，直到撒迦利亚书，总是与以色列同在。祂常常与以色列一同受苦。撒迦利亚一章陈明了一人骑著红马，站在洼地番石榴树中间的异象。（7～17。）番石榴树表征在被掳中卑屈的以色列人。基督作耶和华的使者乃是在洼地中，站在这些番石榴树中间。这就是说，祂在他们受卑屈的时候，在最低的洼地中，刚强的留在被掳的以色列人中间。
7The Angel of Jehovah, from Exodus 3 through Isaiah to Zechariah, was always with Israel. Quite often He was suffering with Israel. Zechariah 1 presents the vision of a man as the Angel of Jehovah riding on a red horse and standing among the myrtle trees in the bottoms of the valley (vv. 7-17). The myrtle trees signify the humiliated people of Israel in their captivity. Christ as the Angel of Jehovah was standing among these myrtle trees in the bottoms of the valley. This means that He was remaining strongly among the captured Israel in the lowest part of the valley in their humiliation
8至终，这一位要在哈米吉顿那里踹大酒醡。以赛亚六十三章说到哈米吉顿。那酒醡从以东的波斯拉，（1～6，）延伸到哈米吉顿，（启十六16，）距离共有一千六百斯泰底亚，就是三百公里。（十四20。）耶和华的使者，那要回来的耶稣，要踹那大酒醡。没有以赛亚书，我们不会知道那踹大酒醡的，是耶和华面前的使者。
8Eventually, this One will tread the great winepress at Armageddon. Armageddon is referred to in Isaiah 63. That winepress will extend from Bozrah of Edom (vv. 1-6) to Armageddon (Rev. 16:16), a distance of one thousand six hundred stadia, that is, one hundred eighty-two miles (Rev. 14:20). The Angel of Jehovah, the coming back Jesus, will tread that great winepress. Without Isaiah we would not know that the treader of that great winepress will be the Angel of the presence of Jehovah
9耶和华的受膏者和耶和华面前的使者，是以赛亚书中包罗万有之基督对以色列的末了两项所是。『耶和华的受膏者』对神的子民是甜美的辞。但『耶和华面前的使者』这辞，大多应用于神子民的仇敌。首先，祂在那里对付法老及其埃及军兵。祂在前头又在后面保护著神的子民。甚至在撒迦利亚书，祂是那保护的使者，描绘为骑在红马上的。以赛亚用这两项，来总结他对包罗万有之基督的观点－一个对神的选民是如此甜美，一个对神选民的仇敌是如此刚强。
9The Anointed of Jehovah and the Angel of the presence of Jehovah are the last two items of what the all-inclusive Christ is to Israel in Isaiah. The Anointed of Jehovah is a sweet term to God’sp eople. But the Angel of the presence of Jehovah is a term mostly applied toward the enemies of God’s people. First, He was there dealing with Pharaoh and his Egyptian army. He was protecting God’s people in the front and at the rear. Even in Zechariah He was the protecting Angel, depicted as the rider on the red horse. Isaiah concludes his view of the all- inclusive Christ with these two items — one is so sweet to God’select, and the other is so strong toward the enemies of God’select.
10以色列末了的仇敌将是敌基督和与他一起的列国。启示录十九章告诉我们，敌基督要集合地上所有邪恶的人，成为军队来毁灭以色列。甚至今天有许多阿拉伯国家想要毁灭以色列。最末了阴谋要毁灭以色列的将是敌基督和他的同盟，就是列国。但耶和华的使者要把他打倒，将他击败，并把他直接扔到火湖里去。耶和华的使者就是主耶稣这三一神的面。祂要回来击败敌基督和他的军兵。
10Israel’s last enemy will be Antichrist and all the nations with him. Revelation 19 tells us that Antichrist will collect all the evil persons on this earth to be the armies to destroy Israel. Even today there are many Arab nations who would like to destroy Israel. The final one who will have a kind of conspiracy to destroy Israel will be Antichrist with his allies, the nations. But the Angel of Jehovah will fight him down, will defeat him, and will put him directly into the lake of fire. The Angel of Jehovah is the Lord Jesus as the presence of the Triune God. He will come to defeat Antichrist and his armies
壹 、耶和华的受膏者
I. The Anointed Of Jehovah
11以赛亚六十一章一至三节乃是论到基督作耶和华受膏者的豫言。
11Isaiah 61:1-3 is a prophecy concerning Christ as the Anointed of Jehovah
12一、这豫言在基督第一次来时
12A. This Prophecy Having a Foretaste Fulfillment
得了豫尝的应验
at Christ’s First Coming
13关于基督作耶和华之受膏者的豫言，在基督第一次来临时得了豫尝的应验。在旧约里，我们无法看见基督的两次来临。牠只给我们看见，基督要有一次来临。基督的两次来临可比作一座山脉的两个山峰；从远处看可能只像一个峰，但当你靠近时，就能看见两个峰，中间有一个大谷，一个大平原。在以赛亚六十一章里这个关于基督来临的豫言，实际上是有两方面的。
13This prophecy concerning Christ as the Anointed of Jehovah had a foretaste fulfillment at Christ’s first coming. In the Old Testament, we cannot see the two comings of Christ. It shows us only that Christ will have one coming. The two comings of Christ can be likened to two peaks of a mountain range. They may only look like one peak from a distance, but when you come near them, you can see that there are two peaks with a big valley, a big plain, between them. The prophecy concerning the coming of Christ in Isaiah 61 is actually in two aspects
14在新约中，路加四章说到主头一次来临的山峰。路加四章说到主在安息日进到会堂。人把申言者以赛亚的书卷递给祂，祂就读以赛亚六十一章的头几节。然后主把书卷卷起来，交还堂役，坐下来，说，『今天这经应验在你们耳中了。』（21。）众人都希奇祂口中所说的恩言。（22。）
14In the New Testament, the peak of the Lord’s first coming is mentioned in Luke 4. Luke 4 speaks of the Lord entering into a synagogue on the Sabbath day. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him, and He read the first few verses of Isaiah 61. Then the Lord rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, sat down, and said, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing” (v. 21). All of them marveled at the words of grace proceeding out of His mouth (v. 22
15路加四章记载了以赛亚六十一章一至三节里豫言的头一个『峰』。但在以赛亚六十一章本身，我们只能看到一个峰，不能看到两个峰。以赛亚书末了的二十七章，从以赛亚四十章至六十六章，说到基督的来临。以赛亚告诉我们，主的来临要带进复兴的时期，就是以色列复兴的时期。但是当我们今天从新约亮光的观点，来看以赛亚四十至六十六章，我们就能看见这里有两次来临。
15Luke 4 gives us a record of the first “peak” of the prophecy in Isaiah 61:1-3. But in Isaiah 61 itself we can see only one peak, not two peaks. The final twenty - seven chapters of Isaiah, from Isaiah 4 0 through 6 6, speak about Christ’s coming. Isaiah told us that the Lord’s coming will bring in the time of restoration, the restoration of Israel. But when we come to Isaiah 40—66 today, in the view of the New Testament light, we can see two comings here.
16比方说，以赛亚四十章说到耶和华的荣耀显现，（5，）以及主耶和华带著大能临到。（10。）这是指耶稣的显现。那个显现当然不是祂第二次的来临；而是施浸者约翰所引进祂第一次的来临。（赛四十～5，路三4～6。）以赛亚四十章以后各章有很多经节，告诉我们基督的来临。以赛亚五十三章告诉我们，主来到如嫩芽，像根出于干地，（2，）又如常经忧患的人。（3。）这当然是指祂第一次的来。今天我们认识这点，但古时候他们没有这种思想。我怀疑甚至以赛亚是否认识这点。他们只知道弥赛亚会来。对他们来说，只有一次来临。但实际上弥赛亚，耶和华的受膏者，要两次来临。第一次是为著恩典的时代，第二次是为著复兴的时候。
16For instance, Isaiah 40 speaks of the glory of Jehovah being revealed (v. 5) and of the Lord Jehovah coming with might (v. 10). This refers to Jesus’ appearing. That appearing surely is not His second coming. It was His first coming ushered in by John the Baptist (vv. 3-5; Luke 3:4-6). The chapters following Isaiah 4 03 contain many verses telling us about Christ’s coming. Isaiah 53 tells us that the Lord comes as a tender plant, as a root out of dry ground (v. 2), and as a man of sorrows (v. 3). This surely refers to His first coming. Today we know this, but in the ancient times they did not have this thought. I doubt even whether Isaiah knew this. They only knew that Messiah would come. To them there was only one coming. But actually Messiah, the Anointed One of Jehovah, will come two times. The first time is for the age of grace, and the second time will be for the age of restoration.
17恩典的时代是复兴时代的豫尝。希伯来六章告诉我们，恩典时代是来世权能的豫尝。（5。）今天我们正在享受来世复兴时代的权能。这个来世就是国度的时代，千年国的时代。当我们进入恩典的时代，我们就走向下一个世代，复兴的时代，国度的时代。我们今天所享受的乃是豫尝，但这豫尝将要在复兴时代得著全尝。关于基督来临之豫言头一次的应验乃是豫尝，而第二次应验乃是全尝。
17The age of grace is a foretaste of the age of restoration. Hebrews 6 tells us that the age of grace is a foretaste of the power of the coming age (v. 5). Today we are enjoying the power of the coming age, the age of restoration. This coming age is the age of the kingdom, the age of the millennium. When we get into the age of grace, we are walking toward the next age, the age of restoration, the age of the kingdom. What we are enjoying today is the foretaste, but this foretaste will have a full taste in the time of restoration. The first fulfillment of the prophecy concerning Christ’s coming is a foretaste, whereas the second fulfillment is the full taste
18关于基督作耶和华受膏者的豫言，在基督第一次来临时得了豫尝的应验，为著在恩典时代产生召会，作为耶和华悦纳人的禧年。（路四16～22上。）在旧约里，召会是隐藏的。召会隐藏在基督来临的两个山峰中间。主读了以赛亚六十一章一至二节之后，就坐下来，说，『今天这经应验在你们耳中了。』（路四21。）那就是说，因著主在那里，那就是耶和华悦纳人的禧年了。但这只是一个豫尝。当基督第二次来临时，耶和华悦纳人的禧年才完满的来到。
18The prophecy concerning Christ as the Anointed of Jehovah had a foretaste fulfillment, at Christ’s first coming, for the age of grace, in producing the church, as the acceptable year of Jehovah (Luke 4:16-22a). In the Old Testament, the church was hidden. The church was hidden between the two peaks of Christ’s coming. After the Lord read Isaiah 61:1-2, He sat down and said, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:21). That meant that since the Lord was there, that was the acceptable year of Jehovah. But this was just a foretaste. The acceptable year of Jehovah will come in full when Christ comes the second time.
二 、在基督第二次来临时，得著全享的应验
B. Having a Full Taste Fulfillment at Christ’s Second Coming
19以赛亚六十一章一至三节里，关于基督作耶和华受膏者的豫言，要在基督第二次来临时，才得著全享的应验，为使以色列得复兴，而达到新天新地。复兴的时代要引进新天新地。
19The prophecy concerning Christ as the Anointed of Jehovah in Isaiah 61:1-3 will have a full taste fulfillment at Christ’s second coming, for the restoration of Israel unto the new heavens and new earth. The restoration age will usher in the new heaven and new earth
20三、主耶和华的灵在祂身上
20C. The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah Being upon Him
21以赛亚六十一章一节上半说，『主耶和华的灵在我身上。』当基督第一次来临时，主耶和华的灵在祂身上；当祂第二次来临时，这灵也要在祂身上。当主耶稣第二次来临时，显著的意义乃是主耶和华的灵在祂身上。这里以赛亚特别加上『主』这辞。这不仅是耶和华的灵，更是主耶和华的灵。这样一位的灵将在要来之耶稣的身上。
21Isaiah 61:1a says, “The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me.” The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah was upon Christ in His first coming and will be upon Him in His second coming. When the Lord Jesus comes the second time, the striking significance will be that the Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Him. Here Isaiah especially adds in the word Lord. It is not just the Spirit of Jehovah but the Spirit of the Lord Jehovah. The Spirit of such a One will be upon the coming Jesus
四 、耶和华膏了祂
D. Jehovah Having Anointed Him
22耶和华膏了基督。（赛六一1下，太三16。）在基督第一次来时，耶和华膏了祂。当基督受浸时，祂从水里上来，神的灵以彷佛鸽子的形体降在祂身上。（路三21～22。）今天在我们身上的那灵不是在看得见的形状里。但在耶稣受浸那天，那灵以彷佛鸽子的形体降在祂身上。这是非常引人注意的。在耶稣受浸以后，那灵临到祂身上，这就是以赛亚六十一章一节的应验；这应验得完成，为要膏新王并将祂引荐给祂的子民。那膏抹的灵在祂第二次来临时仍要作工。
22Jehovah has anointed Christ (Isa. 61:1b; Matt. 3:16). He anointed Christ in His first coming. When Christ was baptized, He rose up from the water, and the Spirit of God came upon Him in a bodily form as a dove (Luke 3:21- 22). Today the Spirit upon us is not in a visible figure. But on the day of Jesus’ baptism, the Spirit came upon Him in a bodily form as a dove. It was very striking. The Spirit’s coming upon Jesus after His baptism was the fulfillment of Isaiah 61:1 and was carried out to anoint the new King and introduce Him to His people. That anointing Spirit will still work in His second coming
23耶和华膏祂，要祂作一些事。首先，祂被膏要传好信息(福音)给困苦的人，受苦的人。（赛六一1中。）第二，祂被膏要去缠裹伤心的人，（1下，）第三，去宣扬被掳的得释放，被囚的眼睛得开启。（1末。）第四，基督被膏去宣扬耶和华悦纳人的禧年，和我们神报仇的日子。（2上。）悦纳人的禧年是向著神子民的；报仇的日子是向著神子民之仇敌的。当基督再来到以色列那里时，那对他们乃是悦纳的禧年，而向他们的仇敌，敌基督并其跟从者，乃是报仇的日子。第五，耶和华膏基督去安慰一切悲哀的人。（2下。）悲哀指明你受更多的苦。在你开头受苦时，你不会悲哀；等你受苦更多时，你会悲哀。
23Jehovah anointed Him to do a number of things. First, He was anointed to bring good news, the gospel, to the afflicted, the suffering ones (Isa. 61:1c). Second, He was anointed to bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted (v. 1d) and third, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the release of those who are bound (v. 1e). This may also mean the release of those who are imprisoned. Fourth, Christ was anointed to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah and the day of vengeance of our God (v. 2a). The acceptable year is toward God’sp eople; the day of vengeance is toward the enemies of God’sp eople. When Christ comes again to Israel, that will be the acceptable year to them and also the day of God’s vengeance over the enemies of God’sp eople, Antichrist and his followers. Fifth, Jehovah anointed Christ to comfort all who mourn (v. 2b). Mourning indicates that you are suffering more. At the beginning of your suffering, you may not mourn. Later, you mourn
24第六，基督被膏去赐华冠与锡安悲哀的人，代替灰尘，喜乐油代替悲哀，赞美衣代替忧伤的灵。（3上。）撒迦利亚书告诉我们，当基督再来时，所有分散的以色列人都要归回他们祖宗之地。他们其中的三分之二要被仇敌所杀。（十三8。）甚至今天，以色列周围的列国都恨恶以色列。以色列过去二十个世纪以来的情形，乃是主在马太福音的话的应验。主为耶路撒冷哀哭，（太二三，）豫言牠将来的被毁。（二四2。）主后七十年，提多带著罗马军队来毁坏耶路撒冷和殿，使殿没有一块石头留在另一块石头上，这豫言就应验了。自那天起以色列人从他们祖宗之地被分散到列国，将近一千九百年之久。他们许多世纪以来一直在流浪，但在一九四八年，他们重新组成一个国家。十九年以后，一九六七年，藉著六日战争，他们重新占领耶路撒冷和戈兰高地。
24Sixth, Christ was anointed to grant to those who mourn in Zion a headdress instead of ashes, oil of gladness instead of mourning, and the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness (v. 3a). Zechariah tells us that when Christ comes again all the scattered Israelites will have returned to their forefathers’ land. Two-thirds of them will be slaughtered by their enemies (13:8). Even today the nations around Israel hate Israel. The plight of Israel throughout the last twenty centuries is the fulfillment of the Lord’s word in Matthew. The Lord lamented over Jerusalem (Matt. 2 3:3 7) and prophesied of its coming 37 destruction (24:2). This prophecy was fulfilled when Titus and the Roman army came in A.D. 70 to destroy Jerusalem and the temple, not leaving one stone upon another. From that day the Israelites were scattered from their forefathers’ land to all the nations for nearly nineteen hundred years. They were wandering for so many centuries, but in 1948 they were re-formed as a nation. Nineteen years later, in 1967, they captured back Jerusalem and the Golan Heights through the six-day war.
25今天，阿拉伯国家压迫以色列，要他们归还所重获的地;以色列不肯这样作。今天，以色列周围所有的阿拉伯国家都恨以色列。将来，敌基督和他的军队要尽所能的屠杀以色列人。按照撒迦利亚书，他们会屠杀三分之二的以色列人，所以只有三分之一存留。（十三8～9。）在这三分之一当中，耶路撒冷城中一半的民要被掳去。（十四2。）然后主要回来与敌基督和他们的军队争战，并击败他们。
25Today Israel is being pressed to release the land which they have regained. Israel will not do this. All the Arab countries which surround Israel hate Israel today. In the future Antichrist and his armies will do their best to slaughter the people of Israel. According to Zechariah they will slaughter two - thirds of them, so only one- third will be left (13:8-9). Out of this one - third, half of the city of Jerusalem will be captured (14:2). Then the Lord will return to fight against and defeat Antichrist and his armies.
26那时主要赐一些东西给那些在锡安悲哀的人。他们悲哀，因为他们失去自己的亲人。但是当基督回来时，祂将华冠赐给他们，代替灰尘。华冠是一种头巾。那些在以色列悲哀的人将灰放在自己身上，但基督要除去灰尘，给他们头巾，华冠。祂也要给他们喜乐油代替悲哀，赞美衣代替忧伤的灵，为著赞美耶和华。今天，这些对我们信徒也非常适合。我们得救以前，就像这消极的光景，但主将祂自己作为以上这一切的项目，丰富的给了我们。祂在回来时，向著以色列也要作这一切项目。
26At that time the Lord will grant something to those who mourn in Zion. They will mourn because they will have lost their relatives. But when Christ comes, He will give them a headdress instead of ashes. A headdress is a turban. Those who mourn in Israel put ashes upon themselves, but Christ will remove the ashes and give them a turban, a headdress. He will also give them the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and the mantle of praise for praising Jehovah instead of a spirit of heaviness. These are also very fitting for us believers today. Before we were saved, we were like this on the negative side, but the Lord gave Himself to us in such a rich way as all the above items. He will also be all these things to Israel at His return
27主作这一切事，好使以色列人称为公义的笃耨香树，是耶和华所栽的，叫祂得荣耀。（赛六一3下。）虽然他们许多人被屠杀了，那些存留的人要成为公义的生长的树。根据我的研究，笃耨香树乃是最好的橡树。以色列人要成为耶和华所栽的，叫耶和华得荣耀。这要发生在基督第二次来临时，那时祂要成为神的受膏者，来照顾神分散并受苦的子民。
27The Lord does all these things in order that the people of Israel may be called the terebinths of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that He may be glorified (Isa. 61:3b). Although many of them will be slaughtered, those who remain will become growing trees of righteousness. Terebinths, according to my study, are the best oaks. The people of Israel will be the planting of Jehovah, that Jehovah may be glorified. This will be at Christ’s second coming, in which He will be the Anointed of God to take care of God’s scattered and suffering people
五 、作为竖立的旗号，召聚耶和华分散的百姓
E. As a Standard Raised Up for the Gathering of Jehovah’s Scattered People
28当基督再来时，祂要作为竖立的旗号，召聚耶和华分散的百姓。（赛六二10下。）到那时，所有的以色列人要回来。他们必要看见一个标志，就是旗号，使他们都能召聚到那里。耶和华的受膏者基督，将要成为那样召聚的旗号。
28At Christ’s return, He will be as a standard raised up for the gathering of Jehovah’s scattered people (Isa. 62:10b). By that time, all Israel will be coming back. They have to see a sign, a standard, to which they can all be gathered together. Christ, the Anointed of Jehovah, will be that gathering standard
29
29F. As the Salvation Coming to Zion to Rescue Her
六、作为救恩来到锡安，拯救她脱离敌基督和跟他在一起之列国的毁坏
from the Destruction of Antichrist and the Nations with Him
30耶和华这位受膏者要来拯救锡安。锡安乃是耶路撒冷建在其上的山之一，那座山原初称作摩利亚山，就是亚伯拉罕献上他儿子以撒的地方。（创二二1～2。）圣殿建在耶路撒冷的摩利亚山上。（代下三1。）后来，摩利亚山被称为锡安山。（诗二6，四八2，11，七四2。）主要作为救恩来到锡安，拯救她脱离敌基督和跟他在一起之列国的毁坏。（赛六二11中，亚十二2～9。）在那个关头，敌基督要掳去耶路撒冷城中一半的居民。基督作耶和华的受膏者要来拯救他们脱离敌基督屠杀的手。
30This Anointed of Jehovah will come to rescue Zion. Zion was one of the mountains upon which Jerusalem was built, and that mountain originally was called Moriah, where Abraham offered up his son, Isaac (Gen. 2 2:1-2). The temple was built on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem (2 Chron. 3:1). Later, Moriah was referred to as Mount Zion (Psa. 2:6; 48:2, 11; 74:2). The Lord will be the salvation coming to Zion to rescue her from the destruction of Antichrist and the nations with him (Isa. 62:11b; Zech. 12:2-9). At that juncture, Antichrist will have captured half of the inhabitants in Jerusalem. Christ as the Anointed of Jehovah will come to rescue them out of the killing hand of Antichrist.
贰 、耶和华面前的使者，为著对付列国
II. The Angel Of The Presence Of Jehovah For Dealing With The Nations
31基督乃是耶和华面前的使者，为65:17-著对付列国。（赛六三1～6，9，六四1，六六15。）
31Christ is the Angel of the presence of Jehovah for dealing with the nations (Isa. 63:1-6, 9; 64:1; 25; 66:15, 22).
一 、裂天而来，拯救以色列脱离列国
A. To Rend the Heavens and Come to Save Israel from the Nations
32祂要裂天而来，拯救以色列脱离列国。（赛六三9，六四1。）诸天要裂开，开了大口让耶和华面前的使者显出，来到地上。到那时，祂就不再是嫩芽，祂会极其伟大。
32He will rend the heavens and come to save Israel from the nations (Isa. 63:9; 64:1). The heavens will be rent, and there will be a wide opening for the Angel of the presence of Jehovah to appear, to come to the earth. By that time He will no longer be a tender plant. He will be so great
二 、在火中降临，用祂的焚烧审判列国
B. To Come with Fire to Judge the Nations with His Burning
33祂要在火中降临，用祂的焚烧审判列国。（赛六六15～16上。）最近在加州奥克兰发生一场野火，大火，许多人失去了家园。但当基督第二次来临时，全地都是野火。祂要在火中降临，用祂的焚烧审判列国。
33He will come with fire to judge the nations on the whole earth with His burning (Isa. 66:15-16a). Recently there was a great wildfire, a great burning, in Oakland, California, and many people lost their homes. But when Christ comes the second time, the whole earth will be a wildfire. He will come with fire to judge the nations with His burning
三 、踹大酒醡，在哈米吉顿毁灭敌基督和列国的恶人
C. To Tread the Great Winepress, to Destroy Antichrist and the Evil People of the Nations at Armageddon
34祂要回来踹大酒醡，在哈米吉顿毁灭敌基督和列国的恶人。（赛六三1～6，启十六12～16，十九～21。）这踹不是积极一面的收割庄稼，乃是消极一面收割神对恶人的审判。
34He will also come to tread the great winepress, to destroy Antichrist and the evil people of the nations at Armageddon (Isa. 63:1-6; Rev. 16:12-16; 19:19-21). This treading is not the positive reaping of a 19 harvest. It is the negative reaping of God’s judgment upon the evil people.
四 、带进复兴的时候，就是千年国，而达到新天新地
D. To Bring In the Time of Restoration— the Millennial Kingdom unto the New Heavens and New Earth
35至终，当基督回来时，祂要带进复兴的时候，就是千年国，而达到新天新地。（赛六五17～25，六六22，启二十4～6。）在基督回来时，祂要将世界焚烧，并踹大酒醡，包括敌基督。祂这样作，就清理了全地。然后祂要把神的国带到这地上，那就是复兴的时候。归回、悔改的犹太人要享受那个复兴，而得胜的基督徒就要在诸天之国的属天部分里。犹太人要留在这地上享受神的创造，那创造虽然受到损毁，却在基督再来时得著复兴。那个复兴要带进新天新地。这就是最好的末世论。
35Finally, when Christ returns, He will bring in the time of restoration—the millennial kingdom unto the new heavens and new earth (Isa. 65:17-25; 66:22; Rev. 20:4-6). At Christ’s coming back, He will burn the world and tread the great winepress, which includes Antichrist. By doing these two things, He will clear up the whole earth. Then He will bring in God’skin gdom to this earth, and that will be the time of restoration. The returned, repentant Jews will enjoy that restoration, and the overcoming Christians will be in the heavenly part of the kingdom of the heavens. The Jews will remain on this earth to enjoy God’s creation, which was damaged but will be restored by Christ’s second coming. That restoration will usher in the new heaven and new earth. This is the best eschatology
