我們都會見到主

概要

末日,基督將有大能力大榮耀,帶領著天使大軍降臨。



路加福音21:27 那時,他們要看見人子有能力,有大榮耀駕雲降臨。

關於末日,聖經說了許多。一切事物都指向這一日。
末日,基督將有大能力大榮耀,帶領著天使大軍降臨。這裡說的「能力」可能是指萬軍的天使、聖徒、和所有的受造物和基督一起來審判。基督坐在光彩的雲上,所有的聖徒都跟隨著他一起來到。
主可以說:「他們要看見我」,但是這不會清楚地體現他的身體降臨。於是,他說:「他們要看見人子」,他清楚地說明他再來時,是有形有體地再次來臨。
主不僅說他將會來臨,他更是說:他們將「看到」他的降臨。當他第一次出生降臨時,沒有人看見。第一次的來臨實在是更軟弱,更謙卑。末日的來臨比第一次來時更有能、更有力。現在,他每日藉著福音,在靈裏,進入信徒心中,也是人眼不可見的。末時,卻是所有人都會看到基督再次降臨,正如啟示錄1:7說:「看哪,他駕雲降臨!眾目要看見他」。眾人會看到基督的人的形體,是他從馬利亞出生所得的身體,是他當年在世上行走的身體。(AE 75:102–103)


We Will See The Lord
Luke 21:27 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in the cloud with great power and glory.
36. Here 「power」 may again signify the hosts of angels, saints, and all creatures that will come with Christ to judgment. (I believe this is the correct interpretation.) Or it may mean the power and strength that make this coming of Christ so much more powerful than the first, which was weaker and inferior. He says not only that He will come but also that they shall see Him come. At His birth He came also, but was seen by no one. He comes now daily through the Gospel, spiritually, into believing hearts; no one sees that either. But this coming will be public, so that all must see Him, as Revelation 1 [:7] says, 「And every eye will see Him.」 And they shall see that He is none other than the bodily man Christ, in bodily form, as He was born from Mary and walked on earth.
He could have said, 「They will see Me,」 but that would not have clearly indicated His bodily form. But when He says, 「They will see the Son of Man,」 He clearly indicates that it will be a bodily coming, a bodily seeing in bodily form yet in great power, with the great host of angels and all glory. He will sit on a bright cloud, and all the saints with Him. The Scriptures speak much of that day, and everything is pointed to it. (AE 75:102–103)
