天上現出大異象來:有一個婦人身披日頭,腳踏月亮,頭戴十二星的冠冕。 1 A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
天上又現出異象來:有一條大紅龍,七頭十角;七頭上戴著七個冠冕。 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads.
牠的尾巴拖拉著天上星辰的三分之一,摔在地上。龍就站在那將要生產的婦人面前,等她生產之後,要吞吃她的孩子。 4 His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born.
婦人生了一個男孩子,是將來要用鐵杖轄管〔轄管:原文是牧〕萬國的;她的孩子被提到神寶座那裏去了。 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.
婦人就逃到曠野,在那裏有神給她預備的地方,使她被養活一千二百六十天。 6 The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.
在天上就有了爭戰。米迦勒同他的使者與龍爭戰,龍也同牠的使者去爭戰, 7 And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
大龍就是那古蛇,名叫魔鬼,又叫撒但,是迷惑普天下的。牠被摔在地上,牠的使者也一同被摔下去。 9 The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
我聽見在天上有大聲音說:「我神的救恩、能力、國度、並他基督的權柄,現在都來到了!因為那在我們神面前晝夜控告我們弟兄的,已經被摔下去了。 10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:「Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
弟兄勝過牠,是因羔羊的血和自己所見證的道。他們雖至於死,也不愛惜性命。 11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
所以,諸天和住在其中的,你們都快樂吧!只是地與海有禍了!因為魔鬼知道自己的時候不多,就氣忿忿地下到你們那裏去了。」 12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.」
於是有大鷹的兩個翅膀賜給婦人,叫她能飛到曠野,到自己的地方,躲避那蛇;她在那裏被養活一載二載半載。 14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the desert, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent's reach.
地卻幫助婦人,開口吞了從龍口吐出來的水〔原文是河〕。 16 But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
龍向婦人發怒,去與她其餘的兒女爭戰,這兒女就是那守神誡命、為耶穌作見證的。那時龍就站在海邊的沙上。 17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring--those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.
April 18 "And he shall bring it to pass." (Psa. 37:5.) I ONCE thought that after I prayed that it was my duty to do everything that I could do to bring the answer to pass. He taught me a better way, and showed that my self-effort always hindered His working, and that when I prayed and definitely believed Him for anything, He wanted me to wait in the spirit of praise, and only do what He wanted me to wait in the spirit of praise, and only do what He bade me. It seems so unsafe to just sit still, and do nothing but trust the Lord; and the temptation to take the battle into our own hands is often tremendous. We all know how impossible it is to rescue a drowning man who tries to help his rescuer, and it is equally impossible for the Lord to fight our battles for us when we insist upon trying to fight them ourselves. it is not that He will not, but He cannot. Our interference hinders His working. ─C.H.P. Spiritual forces cannot work while earthly forces are active. It takes God time to answer prayer. We often fail to give God a chance in this respect. It takes time for God to paint a rose. It takes time for God to grow an oak. It takes time for God to make bread from wheat fields. He takes the earth. He pulverizes. He softens. He enriches. He wets with showers and dews. He warms with life. He gives the blade, the stock, the amber grain, and then at last the bread for the hungry. All this takes time. Therefore we sow, and till, and wait, and trust, until all God's purpose has been wrought out. We give God a chance in this matter of time. We need to learn this same lesson in our prayer life. It takes God time to answer prayer. ─J.H.M.
