14. And I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and one like the Son of man sitting on the cloud, having a golden crown on His head; and in His hand was a sharp sickle. 15. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him Who was sitting on the cloud, “Thrust in your sickle and reap, because the time has come for You to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 16. And He Who was sitting on the cloud thrust forth His sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped. 17. Then another angel, who also had a sharp sickle, came out of the temple that is in heaven. 18. And out from the altar came another angel, who had authority over fire; and he called with a loud cry to the one who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Thrust in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the earth, because her grapes are fully ripe.” 19. And the angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast its fruit into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20. And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood spewed out from the winepress as high as the horses’ bridles, to the distance of a thousand six hundred furlongs. (A Faithful Version) 14. 這時,見有一片白雲,一位像人子模樣坐在其上,頭戴著金冠,他手持鋒利的鐮刀。
15. 一位使者從殿而出,向坐在雲上那位,高聲說:伸出收割用的鐮刀,大地的農作物熟透,是時候去收割,
16. 那坐在雲上的,把鐮刀伸向地,地上的農作物就完全成熟了。
17. 此時,有另一位使者,手拿鐮刀從天上的殿出來。
18. 再有一位使者,是從殿內的祭壇來,有權如何使用火的,向那位拿著鐮刀的大聲喊說:拿刀去收割在地那些萄葡樹上的枝子,剪除的時候到了。
19. 這位使者就拿鐮刀往地面去,剪除爬在萄葡樹上的藤蔓,並將之丟在神憤怒的大榨中。
20. 當大醡踹在城外,有血從裡面噴出來,高度幾乎到達馬的嚼環,流距有二千六百弗隆(1=201metres)。 在19節中的vine: https://mdc.mo.gov/trees-plants/tree-and-plant-facts/tree-shrub-and-vine-facts 上一段說那些不願相信,又不去分辨,只為眼前的需要和當假像是真的,在人生路上心境不會平靜,日夜去籌謀計算,看似努力,可就是心不能安的表現。 這段更展示這樣的選擇,能得到人生的結果同樣的不安寧,因為那日子總有來的一天。為什麼會有這一天?按舊約的揭示,那一天就是挪亞的日子,大洪水會來的一天。只是神說不再用洪水,用什麼?似乎是讓人自相殘殺,不是神不理,而是人不要神去理。挪亞那個時候,救人是用船,日子到了那天,沒有洪水,就像今日看到的景象,那坐在雲上的,看到人壞到透了,熟了,是收割,消除的時候到了。 以前是大水,都是因為神的怒氣。有人說神不會發怒,約翰的領受是會。這真的要用神學去好好解釋。 其中一個可以借鏡挪亞,不是神出手,祂有怒可沒有殺機,因為自己曾經承諾。沒有殺機不等如必然要出手去救,因此,人不自救,就誰都救不了。在人間,果真人人都抱不改過的態度,那日夜不寧的日子,最後就是自相殘殺。世界有沒有這種人?有,就是拜偶像。這個偶像不是死物,它背後有個魔,去撩撥人的私慾。因此,偶像的出現,只是印證一事,它反映的是人心,是情慾的敗壞,放縱自己的借口,例子,今日在中國操控人性的,是所謂共產,原意是均平的制度,不是共了產歸私慾去揮霍,當私慾愈大,操控人性的手段就沒法掩蓋。它的結局必然是:有血從裡面噴出來,高度幾乎到達馬的嚼環,流距有二千六百弗隆(1=201metres)。
