人救主为著完成救赎将自己交与死（四）

The Man-Savior’s Presentation of Himself to Death for Redemption (4)
1读经：路加福音21:5-38。路加十九章二十八节至二十二章四十六节这一段，是论到人救主为著完成救赎将自己交与死。在二十一章五节至二十二章四十六节，主为著受死豫备门徒。在二十一章五至三十六节，主藉著告诉门徒要来的事豫备他们。这些事包括圣殿的被毁、（路二一5～6、）基督升天和大灾难之间的灾祸、（路二一7～11、）门徒在召会时代所受的逼迫、（路二一12～19、）大灾难与基督的来临、（路
1Scripture Reading: Luke 21:5-38 Luke 19:28—22:46 is a section concerned with the Man-Savior’s presentation of Himself to death for redemption. In 21:5—22:46 the Lord prepares the disciples for His death. In 21:5-36 He does this by telling them of things to come. These things include the destruction of the temple (vv. 5-6), the plagues between His ascension and the great tribulation (vv. 7-11), the persecution of His disciples in the church age (vv. 12-19), the great tribulation and His coming (vv. 20-27), and the disciples’ redemption and the overcomers’ rapture (vv. 28-36
2二一20～27、）以及门徒的得赎与得胜者的被提。（路二一18～36。）

3人救主来到耶路撒冷，目的是要为著完成救赎将自己交与死。祂通过反对者的察验之后，花了一些时间为著受死豫备门徒。祂这样作是因为他们无知，没有豫备。因此，主在耶路撒冷末了的那些日子里，豫备门徒接受祂的死，甚至有分于祂的死。这样的豫备分两个主要的步骤来完成：第一，告诉门徒要来的事；第二，设立祂的晚餐，使门徒有分于祂的死。（路二二7～23。）在路加二十一章五至三十六节，主对门徒说豫言，向他们揭示从祂升天到祂回来之间要发生的事。祂所揭示的第一件事就是圣殿的被毁。
3The Man-Savior came to Jerusalem for the purpose of presenting Himself to death for redemption. After passing through an examination conducted by the opposers, He took some time to prepare His disciples for His death. He did this because they were ignorant and unprepared. Therefore, during those last days in Jerusalem, the Lord prepared His disciples to receive His death and even to participate in it. This preparation was accomplished in two main steps: first, by telling the disciples of things to come; second, by instituting His supper so that the disciples might participate in His death (22:7-23). In 21:5-36 the Lord gave a prophecy to His disciples in which He unveiled to them the things to come during the time from His ascension until His return. The first thing He unveiled was the destruction of the temple
圣殿的被毁
the destruction of the temple
4路加二十一章五、六节说，，『有人谈论圣殿是用美石和供物装饰的，耶稣就说，你们所看见的这一切，将来日子到了，没有一块石头留在石头上，不被拆毁的。』因为门徒在夸耀圣殿，主就告诉他们，他们所看见的将要被拆毁。祂启示圣殿要完全被拆毁、铲平。在主升天三十多年以后，圣殿果然被拆毁了。主后七十年，罗马太子提多帅领罗马军队毁灭耶路撒冷，应验了主的豫言。
4Luke 21:5 and 6 say, “And as some were speaking about the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and devoted gifts, He said, As for these things which you are gazing at, the days will come in which there will not be left a stone upon a stone which will not be thrown down.” Because the disciples were boasting about the temple, the Lord told them that what they were gazing at would be destroyed. He revealed that there would be a complete destruction, a leveling, of the temple. This destruction took place approximately thirty years after the Lord’s ascension. In fulfillment of the Lord’s prophecy, Titus, the Roman prince, destroyed Jerusalem with the Roman army in A.D. 70.
基督升天和大灾难之间的灾祸
the plagues between His ascension and the great tribulation
5在二十一章七至十一节，主说到祂升天和大灾难之间的灾祸。许多读圣经的人不清楚路加福音这一段话。我们经过多年研读，并查阅许多参考书籍，看见这些经节是指在主升天和要来的大灾难之间，这段漫长的时间里所要发生的灾祸、苦难和祸害。我们今天还活在这一段时间里。
5In 21:7-11 the Lord speaks regarding the plagues between His ascension and the great tribulation. Many readers of the Bible are not clear about this section of the Gospel of Luke. After years of study and after consulting a number of reference books, we have seen that these verses refer to the plagues, sufferings, and disasters that will take place during the long period of time between the Lord’s ascension and the coming great tribulation. Today we are still living in this period of time
打仗
Wars
6在七节门徒问主说，『夫子，甚么时候会有这些事？这些事将要发生的时候，有甚么兆头？』主回答说，『你们要谨慎，免得受了迷惑；因为将来要有许多人冒我的名来，说，我是基督，又说，时候近了。你们不要跟从他们。你们听见打仗和动乱的事，不要惊惶；因为这些事必须先发生，只是末期不会立刻就到。』（路二一8～9。）九节的打仗，是指第一世纪以来所有的战争，由启示录六章三至四节里第二印的红马所象征。『末期』就是这世代的终结，（太二四3，但十二4，9，6～7，）也就是大灾难的三年半。我们如果研读历史，就会看见在主升天以前没有那么多的战争。但在祂升天以后，战争加增了，一场接著一场。从主升天到现在，漫长的战争历史乃是应验主在路加二十一章九节的话。在十节主接著说，『民要起来攻打民，国要起来攻打国。』这一里的『民』是指人民，外邦人；『国』是指帝国。民起来攻打民是指内战，国起来攻打国是指国际战争。
6In verse 7 the disciples questioned the Lord, saying, “Teacher, when therefore will these things be? And what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?” In His answer the Lord said, “Beware that you be not led astray; for many will come in My name, saying, I am He, and, The time has drawn near. Do not go after them. And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be alarmed, for these things must take place first, but the end is not immediately” (vv. 8-9). The wars in verse 9 refer to all the wars from the first century to the present. They are signified by the red horse of the second seal in Revelation 6:3 and 4. “The end” is the consummation of this age (Matt. 24:3; Dan. 12:4, 9, 6-7), which will be the three and a half years of the great tribulation. If we study history, we shall see that before the Lord’s ascension there were not that many wars. But since His ascension wars have been increasing. There has been one war after another. The long history of wars from the time of the ascension until now is a fulfillment of the Lord’sword in Luke 21:9. In verse 10 the Lord goes on to say, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” The word “nation” here refers to people, to the Gentiles, and the word “kingdom” refers to an empire. The rising up of nation against nation refers to civil war, and the rising up of kingdom against kingdom refers to international war
地震、饥荒、瘟疫
Earthquakes, Pestilences, and Famines
7在十一节主说，『地要大大震动，到处必有饥荒和瘟疫，又有恐怖的事，以及从天上来的大神迹。』自从基督升天以来，地震加增了。历代以来，地震越过越多；到这世代的末了，地震要更加剧烈。（启六12，八5，十一13，19，十六18。）饥荒多是战争的结果。根据历史，战争总是带来饥荒。这饥荒是启示录六章五至六节，第三印的黑马所象征的。地震、饥荒、瘟疫、恐怖的事、以及从天上来的大神迹，会不断发生。
7In verse 11 the Lord says, “There will be both great earthquakes in various places and pestilences and famines; there will be both terrors and great signs from heaven.” Since the time of Christ’s ascension, earthquakes have been increasing. Throughout the centuries there have been more and more earthquakes, and earthquakes will be intensified at the end of this age (Rev. 6:12; 8:5; 11:13, 19; 16:18). Famines are mostly the issue of war. According to history, war has always brought famine, signified by the black horse of the third seal in Revelation 6:5 and 6. Earthquakes, pestilences, famines, terrors, and great signs from heaven will continue to take place.
门徒在召会时代所受的逼迫
the persecution of His disciples in the church age
8在二十一章十二至十九节，主说到门徒在召会时代所受的逼迫。在现今的时代，就是召会时代，忠信的基督徒要遭受逼迫。在十二节主说，『但这一切的事以先，人要下手拿住你们，逼迫你们，把你们交给会堂，并且收在监里，又要为我的名拉你们到君王和官长面前。』这里的代名词『你们』指门徒，就是在基督里忠信的信徒。『会堂』指在犹太地的逼迫，『君王和官长』指在外邦地的逼迫。在十三节主说，这逼迫终必成为门徒的见证。
8In 21:12-19 the Lord speaks about the persecution of His disciples in the church age. During the present period of time, which is the church age, faithful Christians will suffer persecution. In verse 12 the Lord says, “But before all these things they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, leading you away before kings and governors for the sake of My name.” Here the pronoun “you” refers to the disciples as faithful believers in Christ. The “synagogues” indicate persecution in the Jewish land, and “kings and governors” point to persecution in Gentile lands. In verse 13 the Lord says that this persecution will turn out to the disciples for a testimony
主赐门徒口才
The Lord Giving the Disciples Utterance
9在十四、十五节主接著说，『所以你们要心里定意，不要事先豫备怎样分诉。因为我必赐你们口才和智慧，是一切敌对你们的人所敌不住，驳不倒的。』在这里主说，我们应当心里定意，不要焦虑，也不要事先豫备怎样分诉。每当我们要遭受逼迫时，不该事先思虑要说甚么。反之，我们该信靠主，因为祂必赐我们口才和智慧。在十五节主说，『我必赐你们口才和智慧，』但十二章十二节说，『在那时刻，圣灵自会教导你们当说的话。』这是很有意义的。不仅如此，马太十章二十节说，『因为说话的不是你们，乃是你们父的灵在你们里面说话。』根据马可十三章十一节的记载，主说，『说话的不是你们，乃是圣灵。』这些经节指明，父、灵和子（人救主）乃是一。父赐口才就是灵与子赐口才。
9In verses 14 and 15 the Lord continues, “Settle it therefore in your hearts not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves; for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all those opposing you will not be able to resist or refute.” Here the Lord says that our hearts should be settled and should not be in suspense. Neither should we prepare beforehand to defend ourselves. Whenever we are about to suffer persecution, we should not consider beforehand what we shall say. Instead, we should trust in the Lord, for He will give us a mouth and wisdom. It is significant that in verse 15 the Lord says, “I will give you a mouth and wisdom,” whereas 12:12 says, “the Holy Spirit will teach you in the same hour what should be said.” Furthermore, Matthew 10:20 says, “For you are not the ones speaking, but the Spirit of your Father is the One speaking in you.” According to the record in Mark 13:11, the Lord said, “It is not you who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit.” These verses indicate that the Father, the Spirit, and the Son, the Man-Savior, are one. When the Father gives utterance, this means that the Spirit and the Son give utterance.
因祂的名被众人恨恶
Hated by All because of His Name
10在路加二十一章十六、十七节主接著说，『你们也要被父母、弟兄、亲族、朋友出卖，你们也有被他们害死的。你们还要因我的名，被众人恨恶。』在这里我们看见，人甚至会因家人向主耶稣的忠信，害死他们。主在这里的话乃是应验祂在十二章五十二、五十三节的话：『因为从今以后，一家五个人将要分争，三个人反两个人，两个人反三个人。他们将要分争：父亲反儿子，儿子反父亲；母亲反女儿，女儿反母亲；婆婆反儿媳，儿媳反婆婆。』历代以来，许多家庭在受逼迫时起了分争。
10In Luke 21:16 and 17 the Lord goes on to say, “And you will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death; and you will be hated by all because of My name.” Here we see that even family members will cause others in the family to be put to death because of their faithfulness to the Lord Jesus. The Lord’sword here is a fulfillment of His word in 12:52 and 53: “From now on there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.” Throughout the centuries many families have been divided during times of persecution
凭忍耐得著我们的魂
By Endurance Possessing Our Souls
11在二十章十八节主说，『然而你们连一根头发，也绝不会损坏。』这指明忠信者必毫发无损。因此，他们本人必定不会损坏。
11In 21:18 the Lord says, “And a hair of your head shall by no means perish.” This indicates that nothing of the faithful ones will perish. Therefore, their person certainly will not perish
12十九节说，『你们要凭忍耐，得著你们的魂。』这里『得著』一辞，也可译为得有，保全。主在这里的话是说，在基督里忠信的信徒要蒙保全、拯救、得有他们的魂。虽然他们在身体与魂两方面都可能受逼迫并受苦，那样的苦难在来世却对他们的魂成为救恩。在下个时代，当国度来到时，他们的魂要得救，好享受要来的禧年，他们也要有分于主的快乐。在马太二十五章，主对忠信的人说，『进来享受你主人的快乐。』（太二五21，23。）这就是邀请他们有分于主的快乐。进来享受主的快乐，主要的是我们魂里的享受。但不忠信的人在来世要丧掉他们的魂，这就是说，他们要失去千年国里对主快乐的享受。因此，主说到我们凭忍耐得著我们的魂，这话与将来国度时代里对禧年的享受有关。
12Verse 19 says, “By your endurance you will possess your souls.” The Greek word rendered “possess” here may also be translated “acquire.” The Lord’sword here means that the faithful believers in Christ will preserve, save, possess, their souls. Although they may be persecuted and suffer in both body and soul, that suffering will be a salvation to their souls in the coming age. In the next age, when the kingdom comes, their souls will be saved to enjoy the coming jubilee, and they will share in the joy of the Lord. In Matthew 25 the Lord says to the faithful ones, “Enter into the joy of your Lord” (vv. 21, 23). This is the invitation to participate in the Lord’s joy. Entering into the joy of the Lord will primarily be an enjoyment in our souls. The unfaithful ones, however, will lose their souls during the coming age. This means that they will lose the enjoyment of the Lord’s joy in the millennial kingdom. Hence, the Lord’sword about possessing our souls by our endurance is related to the enjoyment of the jubilee in the coming age of the kingdom
13大灾难与基督的来临
13the great tribulation and His coming
14路加二十一至二十七节说到大灾难与主的来临。八至十九节这一段时间有多长，没有人知道。但是二十至二十七节的豫言要应验在这世代末了的三年半，就是大灾难的期间，（太二四21，）也就是但以理九章二十七节所豫言末七的后半。这段时间要开始于敌基督的像（偶像）立在殿内，（太二四15，）而结束于基督公开的来临。（路二一27。）二十节，『你们看见耶路撒冷被军队围困，就可以知道她的荒凉近了。』这不是指主后七十年，提多帅领罗马军队围困并毁坏耶路撒冷的时候。二十节是指将来要发生的事。敌基督要带他的军队到耶路撒冷，这城要被敌基督的军队围困。有些圣经教师不清楚主后七十年耶路撒冷被军队围困，与将来这城被敌基督的军队围困，两者之间的不同。主说，我们看见耶路撒冷被军队围困，就知道她的荒凉近了。那时，在犹太的要逃到山上，在耶路撒冷城里的要出来，在乡下的不要进城。（路二一21。）凡留在耶路撒冷的，都要陷在她的苦难中。二十二、二十三节说，『因为这是报应的日子，使经上所写的一切都得应验。当那些日子，怀孕的和乳养孩子的有祸了。因为将有大艰难降在这地，也有震怒临到这百姓。』『这地』不是指全地，乃是指巴勒斯坦地，就是圣地。二十三节的『百姓』指犹太人。犹太地与犹太人要在敌基督的手下受苦。照二十四节，『他们要倒在刀刃之下，又被掳到各国去，耶路撒冷要被外邦人践踏，直到外邦人的时期满了。』二十五至二十七节说，『日月星辰将有异兆，地上的邦国也有困苦，因海和波涛的响声，就惊惶失措。人由于惧怕，并等待那将要临到天下的事，都吓昏了，因为天势都要震动。那时，他们要看见人子，带著能力和大荣耀，在云中来临。』天上这些超自然的灾害，要发生在这世代的末了结束时，接在大灾难之后。这与第四号的灾害（启八12）不同，那要发生在大灾难的起头。
14Luke 21:20-27 refers to the great tribulation and the Lord’s coming. How long the period of time will be for verses 8 through 19 no one knows. But the prophecy in verses 20 through 27 will be fulfilled in the last three and a half years of this age, the time of the great tribulation (Matt. 24:21), the second half of the last week prophesied in Daniel 9:27. This period of time will begin with the setting up of Antichrist’s image (the idol) in the temple (Matt. 24:15) and will end with Christ’so pen coming (Luke 21:27). Verse 20 says, “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that her desolation has drawn near.” This does not refer to the time in A.D. 70 when the Roman armies, led by Titus, surrounded Jerusalem and destroyed it. Verse 20 refers to something that will take place in the future. Antichrist will bring his army to Jerusalem, and the city will be surrounded by this army. Some Bible teachers have not been clear concerning the difference between the surrounding of Jerusalem by armies in A.D. 70 and the surrounding of the city by the army of Antichrist at some time in the future. The Lord says that when we see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, we know that her desolation has drawn near. Then those in Judea should flee to the mountains, those in the midst of Jerusalem should get out, and those in the country should not enter into the city (v. 21). All those who remain in Jerusalem will be involved in her suffering. Verses 22 and 23 say, “Because these are days of vengeance, that all the things which have been written may be fulfilled. Woe to those that are pregnant and to those nursing their babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people.” The “land” here does not refer to the entire earth; instead, it refers to the land of Palestine, to the holy land. The “people” in verse 23 denotes the Jewish people. The Jewish land and the Jewish people will suffer under the hand of Antichrist. According to verse 24, “they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive to all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled by the nations until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” Verses 25 through 27 say, “And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth anguish of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the billows, men fainting from fear and expectation of what is coming upon the inhabited earth; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” These supernatural calamities in heaven will follow the great tribulation at the close of this age. This will differ from the fourth trumpet (Rev. 8:12), which will occur very close to the great tribulation.
15二十七节说到人救主公开的来临，这是主第二次来临公开的一面。主在路加二十一章二十至二十七节的话，是说到大灾难、敌基督毁灭耶路撒冷、以及人救主的回来。在下篇信息中，我们要看主如何说到门徒的得赎与得胜者的被提。
15Verse 27 speaks of the Man-Savior’so pen coming. This is the open aspect of His second coming. The Lord’sword in Luke 21:20-27 refers to the great tribulation, the destruction of Jerusalem by Antichrist, and to the coming back of the Man-Savior. In the following message we shall consider the Lord’sword concerning the disciples’ redemption and the overcomers’ rapture
