我又看見一個獸從海中上來,有十角七頭,在十角上戴著十個冠冕,七頭上有褻瀆的名號。 1 And the dragon (\f16 13:1 Some late manuscripts|i And I|d) stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
我所看見的獸,形狀像豹,腳像熊的腳,口像獅子的口。那龍將自己的能力、座位、和大權柄都給了牠。 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
我看見獸的七頭中,有一個似乎受了死傷,那死傷卻醫好了。全地的人都希奇跟從那獸, 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast.
又拜那龍─因為牠將自己的權柄給了獸,也拜獸,說:「誰能比這獸,誰能與牠交戰呢?」 4 Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, 「Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?」
又賜給牠說誇大褻瀆話的口,又有權柄賜給牠,可以任意而行四十二個月。 5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months.
又任憑牠與聖徒爭戰,並且得勝;也把權柄賜給牠,制伏各族、各民、各方、各國。 7 He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.
凡住在地上、名字從創世以來沒有記在被殺之羔羊生命冊上的人,都要拜牠。 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. (\f17 13:8 Or|i written from the creation of the world in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain|d)
擄掠人的,必被擄掠;用刀殺人的,必被刀殺。聖徒的忍耐和信心就是在此。 10 If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed (\f18 13:10 Some manuscripts|i anyone kills|d) with the sword, with the sword he will be killed.\m This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.
牠在頭一個獸面前,施行頭一個獸所有的權柄,並且叫地和住在地上的人拜那死傷醫好的頭一個獸。 12 He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
牠因賜給牠權柄在獸面前能行奇事,就迷惑住在地上的人,說:「要給那受刀傷還活著的獸作個像。」 14 Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
又有權柄賜給牠,叫獸像有生氣,並且能說話,又叫所有不拜獸像的人都被殺害。 15 He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
牠又叫眾人,無論大小、貧富、自主的、為奴的,都在右手上或在額上受一個印記。 16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead,
在這裏有智慧:凡有聰明的,可以算計獸的數目;因為這是人的數目,它的數目是六百六十六。 18 This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.
August 5 "IS." (2 Cor. 12:9.) IT had pleased God to remove my youngest child under circumstances of peculiar trial and pain; and as I had just laid my little one's body in the churchyard, on return home, I felt it my duty to preach to my people on the meaning of trial. Finding that this text was in the lesson for the following Sabbath, I chose it as my Master's message to them and myself; but on trying to prepare the notes, I found that in honesty I could not say that the words were true; and therefore I knelt down and asked God to let His grace be sufficient for me. While I was thus pleading, I opened my eyes and saw a framed illuminated text, which my mother had given me only a few days before, and which I had told my servant to place upon the wall during my absence at the holiday resort where my little one was taken away from us. I did not notice the words on returning to my house; but as I looked up and wiped my eyes, the words met my gaze, "My grace is sufficient for thee." The "is" was picked out in bright green while the "My" and the "thee" were painted in another color. In one moment the message came straight to my soul, as a rebuke for offering such a prayer as, "Lord, let Thy grace be sufficient for me;" for the answer was almost as an audible voice, "How dare you ask that which is?" God cannot make it any more sufficient than He has made it; get up and believe it, and you will find it true, because the Lord says it in the simplest way: "My grace is (not shall be or may be) sufficient for thee." "My" "is" and "thee" were from that moment, I hope, indelibly fixed upon my heart; and I (thank God) have been trying to live in the reality of the message from that day forward to the present time. The lesson that came to me, and which I seek to convey to others, is, Never turn God's facts into hopes, or prayers, but simply use them as realities, and you will find them powerful as you believe them. ─Prebendary H. W. Webb Peploe. He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater, He sendeth more strength when the labors increase; To added affiction He addeth His mercies, To multiplied trials His multiplied peace. When we have exhausted our store of endurance, When our strength has failed ere the day is half done, When we reach the end of our hoarded resources Our Father's full giving is only begun. His love has no limit, His grace has no measure, His power no boundary known unto men; For out of His infinite riches in Jesus He giveth and giveth and giveth again. ─Annie Johnson Flint.
