得胜之但以理的异象（四）关于以色列定命的异象（三）

The Visions of the Overcoming Daniel (4) The Vision Concerning the Destiny of Israel (3
1读经：但以理书十二章。但以理书涵盖圣经很广的范围，从创世记十章到新约末了，从巴别到新耶路撒冷。我们要看见，但以理十二章的异象，说到今世末了三年半的事，国度时代的事，以及永世里的事。
1Scripture Reading: Dan. 12 The book of Daniel covers a wide span of the Bible, from Genesis 10 to the end of the New Testament, from Babel to the New Jerusalem. As we will see, the vision in Daniel 12 covers things in the last three and a half years of the present age, things in the kingdom age, and things in eternity
2我们强调过一个事实，就是但以理二章的大人像是但以理豫言的基本原则和控制因素。这大人像对圣殿加以毁坏并破坏，共有四次。头一次是被人像的头，尼布甲尼撒所毁坏；（一1～2；）第二次是被希腊帝国亚历山大大帝四个将军之一的后裔，安提阿克以比凡尼所毁坏；（八9～14；）第三次是被罗马帝国的太子提多所毁坏（主后七十年）；第四次将要被敌基督，就是复兴之罗马帝国十个脚指头的一部分所毁坏。（十二7，11。）至终这大人像总结于直接与神争战。敌基督、十王和他们的军队要直接与基督争战。（启十九19。）然而，基督同祂的新妇要赢得胜利，击败敌基督和他的军兵。（启十九20～21。）但以理十一章二节至十二章十三节里的异象，内容是关于以色列的定命，从波斯帝国的末期到今世末了三年半，甚至包括国度时代和永世。我们来看但以理十二章时，需要看见这卷书中有一个历史年代上的空档，就是从亚历山大大帝四个继承者的统治结束（约在主前最后一世纪的后半期，罗马帝国兴起，取代希腊国成为结束今世的世界强权），到今世末了的三年半。（十二7。）在这空档中乃是召会奥秘的时代。
2We have emphasized the fact that the great human image in Daniel 2 is the basic principle and controlling factor of Daniel's prophecy. This human image destroys and devastates the temple four times. The first time was by the head, Nebuchadnezzar (1:1-2); the second was by Antiochus Epiphanes, a descendant of one of the four generals of Alexander the Great's Grecian Empire (8:9-14); the third was by Titus, a prince of the Roman Empire (70 A.D.); the fourth will be by Antichrist (12:7, 11), part of the ten toes of the restored Roman Empire. Eventually this great human image consummates in fighting directly with God. Antichrist, the ten kings, and their troops will fight against Christ directly (Rev. 19:19). However, Christ with His bride will gain the victory by defeating Antichrist and His armies (Rev. 19:20-21). The contents of the vision in Daniel 11:2—12:13 concern the destiny of Israel from the last part of the kingdom of Persia to the last three and a half years of the present age, even including the kingdom age and eternity. As we come to Daniel 12, we need to realize that in this book there is a gap in the chronicle of history from the ending of the ruling of the four successors of Alexander the Great (from about the second half of the last century B.C., the time the Roman Empire rose up to take the place of the kingdom of Greece as the world power that will end the present age) to the last three and a half years (v. 7) of the present age. In this gap is the church age of mystery
二 与天使长米迦勒为以色列站住的事有关
B. Related to the Archangel Michael's Standing for Israel
3十二章关于以色列定命的异象，与天使长米迦勒为以色列站住的事有关。
3The vision concerning the destiny of Israel in chapter twelve is related to the archangel Michael's standing for Israel.
１ 这世代终结时的事
1. Things in the Consummation of the Age
4首先，但以理十二章说到这世代终结（太二八20下）时，就是今世末了三年半（但十二7，七25下）的事。
4First, Daniel 12 speaks of things in the consummation of the age (Matt. 28:20b)—the last three and a half years of the present age (Dan. 12:7; 7:25b).
ａ米迦勒为以色列站住
a. Michael Standing for Israel
5那时，为以色列民站住的大君米迦勒必兴起。（十二1上。）
5At that time Michael, the great prince who stands for the children of Israel, will arise (12:1a
ｂ艰难的时期
b. A Time of Distress
6必有艰难的时期（大灾难），是从有国以来直到那时，未曾发生过的。（十二1中，太二四21，耶三十7上。）
6There will be a time of distress (great tribulation) such as never occurred since there came to be a nation until that time (12:1b; Matt. 24:21; Jer. 30:7a
ｃ打破圣民的权力必定完成
c. The Shattering of the Power of the Holy People Being Completed
7在这段艰难和灾难时期中，打破圣民的权力必定完成。（但十二7下，七25下，启十三5，7上，十一2。）
7During this time of distress and tribulation, the shattering of the power of the holy people will be completed (Dan. 12:7b; 7:25b; Rev. 13:5, 7a; 11:2
ｄ凡记录在册上的，必得拯救
d. Everyone Found Written in the Book Being Delivered
8但以理十二章一节下半告诉我们，以色列民中，凡记录在册上的，必得拯救。那记录在册上的，就是名字写在神生命册上的。那少数从敌基督手中被拯救出来的以色列人，将要看见基督从空中降临，并要悔改，接受祂而得救。
8Daniel 12:1c tells us that the people of Israel, everyone found written in the book, will be delivered. Those found written in the book are those whose names are written in God's book of life. The few children of Israel who will be delivered out of the hand of Antichrist will see Christ descending in the air and will repent, receive Him, and be saved
ｅ睡在尘土中的，必有多人复醒
e. Many of Those Sleeping in the Ground Awaking to Life Eternal
9睡在尘土中的，必有多人复醒，归到永远的生命。（2上，13上，约五～29上，帖前四16。）睡著的圣徒要复活起来，到空中与基督相会。
9Many of those who are sleeping in the ground will awake to life eternal (vv. 2a, 13a; John 5:28-29a; 1 Thes. 4:16). The sleeping saints will rise up to be 28 resurrected to the air to meet with Christ.
２ 在国度时代里的事
2. Things in the Kingdom Age
10但以理十二章里的异象也说到国度时代里的事。
10The vision in Daniel 12 also covers things in the kingdom age
ａ三十日洁净并恢复受玷污、践踏的圣殿
a. The Cleansing and Recovering of the Defiled and Trampled Temple for Thirty Days
11在复活之后，神与基督的国成了永远的国，就是大山所表征的，（但二35，）因此引进了国度时代。国度一来到，就有三十日洁净并恢复受玷污、践踏的圣殿。（十二。）这要接续前一世代末了的最后一千二百六十日，（启十二6，）使其共为一千二百九十日。就如圣殿受到安提阿克以比凡尼玷污之后，马克比家族就洁净圣殿；照样，得救的犹太人也要在千年国开始时洁净圣殿。
11After the resurrection, the kingdom of God and of Christ will become the eternal kingdom, as signified by the great mountain (Dan. 2:35), thus ushering in the kingdom age. With the coming of the kingdom, there will be the cleansing and recovering of the defiled and trampled temple for thirty days (12:11). This will 11 continue the last one thousand two hundred sixty days (Rev. 12:6) as the end of the previous age to make it one thousand two hundred ninety days. Just as the Maccabees cleansed the temple after it had been defiled by Antiochus Epiphanes, so the saved Jews will cleanse the temple at the beginning of the millennial kingdom.
ｂ四十五日豫备并重建祭司体系，好献日常的祭祀给神
b. The Preparing and Reestablishing of the Priesthood for the Offering of the Daily Sacrifice to God for Forty-five Days
12但以理十二章十二节说，『凡等到一千三百三十五日的，那人便为有福。』在国度时代的起头，也有四十五日豫备并重建祭司体系，好献日常的祭祀给神，这要接续那一千二百九十日，使其共为一千三百三十五日。这样献日常的祭祀给神，乃是神选民的福。（12上，珥二14。）被破坏的敬拜神和祭祀体系，需要四十五日才得以恢复。恢复献祭，对以色列人乃是大祝福。
12Daniel 12:12 says, "Blessed is he who waits and reaches the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days." With the beginning of the kingdom age, there will also be the preparing and reestablishing of the priesthood for the offering of the daily sacrifice to God for forty-five days, which will continue the one thousand two hundred ninety days to be the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days. Such an offering of the daily sacrifice to God will be a blessing to the chosen people of God (v. 12a; Joel 2:14). Forty-five days will be needed to recover the destroyed system of the worship of God with the sacrifices. The restoration of the sacrifices will be a great blessing to the people of Israel
ｃ得胜圣徒在国度里的业分
c. The Lot of the Overcoming Saints in the Kingdom
13但以理十二章也给我们看见，得胜圣徒在国度里的业分的某些事。
13Daniel 12 shows us certain matters concerning the lot of the overcoming saints in the kingdom
（一） 复活圣徒要享受永远的生命
1) The Resurrected Saints Enjoying the Eternal Life
14二节上半指明复活圣徒要在国度里，享受永远的生命。
14Verse 2a indicates that the resurrected saints will enjoy the eternal life in the kingdom
（二） 通达人必发光，如同穹苍的照耀
2) Those Who Have Insight Shining like the Shining of the Heavenly Expanse
15在国度里，通达人必发光，如同穹苍的照耀，那使多人归义的，必发光如星。（3，13下。）在马太十三章四十三节，主耶稣论到国度里得胜者的照耀，说过类似的话：『那时，义人在他们父的国里，要发光如同太阳。』
15Those who have insight will shine like the shining of the heavenly expanse, and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars in the kingdom age (vv. 3, 13b). In Matthew 13:43 the Lord Jesus spoke a similar word regarding the shining of the overcomers in the kingdom: "Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father
（三） 许多得纯净洗洁，且被熬炼的人，要有分于国度
3) Many Who Will Be Purified, Cleansed, and Refined Participating in the Kingdom
16十节上半说，『必有许多人得纯净洗洁，且被熬炼。』那些得著纯净洗洁，且被熬炼的人，要有分于国度。
16Verse 10a says, "Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined." These purified, cleansed, and refined ones will participate in the kingdom.
（四） 复活的但以理要在国度里享受他的业分
4) The Resurrected Daniel Enjoying His Lot in the Kingdom
17十三节说，『你且去，直到结局，你必安歇；到了末日，你必再起来，享受你的业分。』这指明复活的但以理要在国度里享受他的业分。
17Verse 13 says, "But you, go your way until the end, and you will rest and rise again in your lot at the end of the days." This indicates that the resurrected Daniel will enjoy his lot in the kingdom
３ 在永世里的事
3. Things in Eternity
18最后，十二章里关于以色列定命的异象，也包括在永世里的事。
18Finally, the vision in chapter twelve concerning the destiny of Israel includes things in eternity
ａ凡在国度里享受永远生命的人，
a. Those Who Enjoy the Eternal Life in the Kingdom
19要继续在永世里享受永远的生命
19Continuing the Enjoyment of the Eternal Life in Eternity
20凡复活在国度里享受永远生命的人，要继续在永世里享受永远的生命，直到永永远远。（3。）
20Those who will be resurrected and enjoy the eternal life in the kingdom will continue the enjoyment of the eternal life in eternity forever and ever (v. 3
ｂ但以理继续在永世里享受永远的生命作他的业分
b. Daniel Continuing to Enjoy His Lot of the Eternal Life in Eternity
21但以理也要继续在永世里享受永远的生命作他的业分。（13下。）
21Daniel also will continue to enjoy his lot of the eternal life in eternity (v. 13b
ｃ凡灭亡的人要在国度时代之后复活，并要在永世里受永远的羞辱被憎恶
c. Those Who Have Perished Being Resurrected after the Kingdom Age and Suffering Eternal Reproach and Contempt in Eternity
22凡灭亡的人要在国度时代之后复活，并要在永世里受永远的羞辱被憎恶，直到永永远远。（2，约五29下，启二十15。）神有一个计画，一个经纶。在这经纶里，神在永远里定规要得著一班人，是祂所创造，由祂重生作祂的众子，然后得以圣别、更新、变化、模成祂长子形像的。这班人要成为基督的身体。当千年国来临时，这身体中的得胜者，要与基督结合，就是到基督那里，联于基督，因而与祂成为一。他们要在千年国的属天部分里与基督同王。他们也要与基督一同作祭司事奉神。当基督回来设立国度时，少数剩余的犹太人，就是以色列遗民，也要得救并重生。然而，因为他们是较晚的信徒，他们不会有分于国度的属天部分作君王和祭司，乃要留在地上，在千年国属地的部分作神的祭司。
22Those who have perished will be resurrected after the kingdom age and suffer eternal reproach and contempt in eternity forever and ever (v. 2; John 5:29b; Rev. 20:15). God has a plan, an economy. In this economy God decided in eternity to have a people created by Him and regenerated by Him to be His sons, then to be sanctified, renewed, transformed, and conformed to the image of His firstborn Son. This group of people will be the Body of Christ. When the millennial kingdom comes, the overcomers in this Body will be married to Christ; that is, they will go to Christ to be attached to Him and thus to be one with Him. They will be the co-kings with Christ in the heavenly section of the thousand - year kingdom. They will also be priests with Christ to serve God. When Christ comes back to set up the kingdom, the small number of remaining Jews, the remnant of Israel, will also be saved and regenerated. However, because they will be the later believers, they will not participate in the heavenly section of the kingdom as kings and priests, but will rather be kept on the earth to be the priests of God in the earthly section of the thousand-year kingdom.
23在今世的末了，敌基督要聚拢万民中许多邪恶的人。但基督要成为非人手所凿的石头，来砸碎这一切邪恶的人。到那时，留在地上的还有余剩的犹太人和万民。按照马太二十五章三十一至四十六节，基督要聚拢万民在祂面前；祂要审判他们，把他们分为两班人，就是绵羊（好的）和山羊（邪恶的）。山羊要在火湖里和敌基督在一起。（41。）绵羊要被复兴（不是重生）到神创造原初的光景，并被基督算为祂的百姓，就是祂千年国的国民。所以，在国度里有三班人：(一)得胜的信徒，要在属天的部分里，在诸天界里作君王并作祭司；（二）得救的犹太人，要在地上作教导的祭司，帮助复兴的列国；（三）复兴的列国，要在与基督一同作王之得胜信徒的管理下，并在得救之犹太人的教导和照顾下作国民。虽然千年国是很美妙的，但这仍是旧造的一部分。千年国乃是旧造最后的一个时代。旧造包括四个时代：列祖时代、律法时代、恩典时代、和国度时代。在一千年的国度时代末了，还会有一次背叛，需要进一步的炼净。结果，旧天旧地要被焚烧而得更新。（彼后三12～13。）然后就是新天新地。（启二一1。）那时，得救并重生的犹太人要联于相信的圣徒。并且，那些在千年国以前不是得胜者的圣徒，也要受管教而得成熟，在新耶路撒冷联于得胜者。新耶路撒冷包括十二使徒的名字和以色列十二支派的名字。（启二一12，14。）这指明所有与十二使徒有交通的信徒，以及属于十二支派的犹太人，乃是新城的组成。这城乃是神的帐幕，神的居所，是基督的新妇，也是众圣徒（信徒和犹太人）与神相互的居所，直到永远。经过最后的筛和洁净而余留的万民，（启二十7～9，）要迁移到新地上永远作国民。（启二一24～26。）那就是神永远的国，由受造、重生、圣别、变化、并得荣的人所组成，他们要与神永远成为一，管理并教导复兴的列国，就是新天新地里的国民。
23At the very end of this age, many of the evil ones from the nations will be gathered together by Antichrist. But Christ will come as the stone cut out without hands to smash all these evil ones. By this time the remaining Jews and the nations will be left on the earth. According to Matthew 25:31-46, Christ will gather the nations together to Him and will judge them, dividing them into two groups, the sheep (the good ones) and the goats (the evil ones). The goats will join Antichrist in the lake of fire (v. 41). The sheep will be restored (not regenerated) to the original God-created condition and will be counted by Christ as His people, His citizens of the millennial kingdom. Therefore, in the kingdom there will be three groups of people: 1) the overcoming believers in the heavenly section as kings and priests in the heavenlies; 2) the saved Jews who will be on the earth as the teaching priests to help the restored nations; and 3) the restored nations as the citizens under the ruling of the overcoming believers as the co- kings of Christ and also under the teaching and care of the saved Jews. Although the kingdom of one thousand years will be wonderful, it will still be part of the old creation. The millennial kingdom will be the last age of the old creation. The old creation includes four ages: the age of the patriarchs, the age of the law, the age of grace, and the age of the kingdom. At the end of the thousand years of the age of the kingdom, there will be one more rebellion, requiring a further purification. Subsequently, the old heaven and the old earth will be burned in order to be renewed (2 Pet. 3:12-13). Then there will be a new heaven and new earth (Rev. 21:1). At that time the saved and regenerated Jews will join the believing saints. Also, those saints who were not overcomers before the thousand-year kingdom will have been disciplined and matured and will join the overcomers in the New Jerusalem. The New Jerusalem includes the twelve names of the apostles and the twelve names of the twelve tribes of Israel (Rev. 21:12, 14). This indicates that all the believers who have been in fellowship with the twelve apostles and the Jews who belong to the twelve tribes will be the composition of the new city. This city will be God's tabernacle, God's dwelling place, the bride of Christ, and the mutual abode of all the saints, the believers and the Jews, for eternity. The nations who remain after the final sifting and purification (Rev. 20:7-9) will be transferred to the land in the new earth to be the citizens forever (Rev. 21:24-26). That will be the eternal kingdom of God, composed of created, regenerated, sanctified, transformed, and glorified people to be one with God for eternity, ruling over and teaching the restored nations, who will be the citizens in the new heaven and the new earth.
总结的话
A CONCLUDING WORD
24现在我们来到但以理书生命读经的末了，我要说一点总结的话。
24Now that we have come to the end of the Life-study of Daniel, I would like to give a concluding word
25但以理书给我们看见一个心与神是一的人，并且他的心完全摆在他本国的民，以色列人的定命上。表面上，以色列的定命是在人类政权，就是列国的权势手中。实际上，以色列的定命是在那拣选他们，并以属天权柄管治一切人政权之神的经纶里。人的政权乃是开始于巴比伦，由尼布甲尼撒所代表，也要结束于巴比伦，由敌基督所代表；叙利亚的安提阿克以比凡尼和罗马帝国的提多，乃是这敌基督的豫表。在神圣的经纶里，基督是神行动的中心与普及；祂被钉十字架，了结整个旧造，并藉著祂的复活，使新造有新生的起头；祂是神选民所珍赏、期望之超越并宝贵的那一位；祂也要从神得著永远的国，并要显现出来，以结束整个人类政权，从脚指头到头将其砸碎，并成为神扩大的国充满全地。在祂神圣的经纶里，神要成全以色列作祂的祭司，并豫备祂受造并得复兴（不是得重生）的列国，作祂的百姓。除了在祂的经纶显明部分的这个结果之外，在祂神圣经纶的隐藏部分里，神要完成建造召会作基督的身体，成为神君尊的家，好在新天新地里作王管治。至终，在永世里，神要在祂永远的国里得著祂的君王、祭司、和百姓，直到永远。
25The book of Daniel shows us a man whose heart is one with God and is set absolutely on the destiny of his people, Israel. Apparently, the destiny of Israel is in the hands of the human government, the power of the nations. Actually, the destiny of Israel is in the economy of the God who has chosen them and who rules over all the human government with the heavenly authority. The human government began with Babylon, represented by Nebuchadnezzar, and will end also with Babylon, represented by Antichrist, who was typified by Antiochus Epiphanes of Syria and Titus of the Roman Empire. Christ is the centrality and universality of God's move in the divine economy. Christ was crucified to terminate the old creation and germinate through His resurrection the new creation. He is the excellent and precious One in the appreciation and expectation of God's chosen people. He will receive the eternal kingdom from God and appear to end and smash all the human government from its toes to its head and become the enlarged kingdom of God throughout the whole earth. In His divine economy God will perfect Israel to be His priests, and He will prepare His created and restored not regenerated) nations to be His people. In addition to this result of the manifested part of His economy, in the hidden part of His divine economy God will complete the building up of the church as the Body of Christ to be God's royal family to rule asking sin the new heaven and new earth. Eventually, in eternity in His eternal kingdom God will have His kings, His priests, and His people forever
