第 49 周 Week 49 (12/4-12/10)
周一 Monday 启示录 1 Revelation 1 启示录 2 Revelation 2 启示录 3 Revelation 3 | 启示录开宗明义： “耶稣基督的启示……”，表明耶稣是这本书的中心人物。阅读时，请标示出基督的形像。我会用 † 号来标注前几个，之后，请继续边读边标示。 启示录 1-3 章记载了“现在的事”（1:19）。这些是给一世纪小亚细亚教会的信息，至今仍然在对 我们发声。 † 启示录 1:7 – 耶稣是在得胜中 “驾云降临”的那位。 † 启示录 1:13 – 耶稣是荣耀的“人子”。 当你读到给每个教会的信息时，可以问一问：“这是在描述我吗？”请注意其中的警告和应许。 你正处于离弃起初爱心的危险之中吗(2:4）？请采纳给以弗所教会基督徒的忠告：回转而且行当初来到耶稣前所行的事。 老底嘉教会没有受到称赞。然而，即使是在老底嘉，那些回应基督邀请的人，也将与祂一同坐在祂的宝座上。即时在困境艰辛中，你仍能保持对神的信实忠心。 Revelation begins with the words “The revelation of Jesus Christ….” Jesus is the central figure of the book. As you read, highlight the images of Christ. I will mark the first few with a †. After that, continue to mark them as you read. Revelation 1-3 records “things that are” (1:19). These messages to the churches of first-century Asia Minor still speak to us today. † Rev 1:7 – Jesus is the one who “is coming with the clouds” in victory. † Rev 1:13 – Jesus is the glorious “son of man.” As you read the message to each church, ask “Does this describe me?” Notice the warnings and the promises. Are you in danger of abandoning your first love (2:4)? Take the counsel given to the Christians at Ephesus. Return and do the things that you did when you first came to Christ. The church at Laodicea received no commendation. But even at Laodicea, those who respond to Christ’s invitation will sit with him on his throne. You can be faithful even in difficult situations. |
周二 Tuesday 启示录 4 Revelation 4 启示录 5 Revelation 5 启示录 6 Revelation 6 启示录 7 Revelation 7 启示录 8 Revelation 8 | 启示录 4-22 章记载了“以后必成的事”。这几章着眼于将来的事件。你可能会觉得这几章很令人迷惑不解，因为对未来的预言从不像对过去的记录那么清晰明朗。如果你觉得这几章的细节难以理解，那就把注意力放在重大的主题上：神的主权；祂对子民的保护；基督最终必战胜邪恶，以及神对未来的计划。 启示录 4-5 章展现出一幅在天堂敬拜的画面。敬拜的焦点是神、祂的荣耀与圣洁。 † 启示录 5:5 – 耶稣是 ____________________。 † 启示录 5:6 – 耶稣是 ____________________。 启示录中，耶稣被描绘成羔羊。羔羊本性驯良温和，然而启示录 6:16 显示了“羔羊的忿怒”。我们不能永远拒绝神，总有一天，万膝都要跪拜在祂的权柄之下（启示录 5:13；腓立比书2:11）。我们现在就应该心甘情愿地跪拜，而不是等到审判的日子，在败局中屈膝下跪。 † 启示录 7:17 – 耶稣是圣羔羊，成了牧人。 Revelation 4-22 records “things that shall take place after this.” These chapters look at future events. You may find these chapters confusing because prophecies about the future are never as clear as records of the past. If you find the details of these chapters difficult, focus on the big themes: God’s sovereignty, His protection of His people, Christ’s ultimate victory over evil, and God’s plan for the future. Revelation 4-5 shows a picture of worship in heaven. This worship is focused on God and His glory and holiness. † Rev 5:5 – Jesus is ____________________. † Rev 5:6 – Jesus is ____________________. Jesus is portrayed in Revelation as the Lamb. While a lamb is gentle, Revelation 6:16 shows the “wrath of the Lamb.” We cannot reject Him forever. A day will come when every knee will bow to His authority (Rev 5:13; Phil 2:11). We should bow willingly now rather than bow in defeat at the judgment. † Rev 7:17 – Jesus is the Lamb who becomes the shepherd. |
周三 Wednesday 启示录 9 Revelation 9 启示录 10 Rev 10 启示录 11 Rev 11 启示录 12 Rev 12 | 启示录 9:20-21 表明，罪惡的世人即使是面对瘟疫和神的审判时还是拒绝悔改。想想我们当今的世界，你看到了世人顽梗、拒不悔改的迹象吗？ 地上的审判场景与天上的敬拜场景穿插交织，贯穿全本启示录。这些敬拜提醒我们，神最终必战胜邪恶（11:16-18）。 † 启示录 12:5 – 耶稣是 ____________________。 Revelation 9:20-21 shows that sinful men refuse to repent even in the face of plagues and God’s judgment. Think about our world today. Do you see signs of man’s stubborn refusal to repent? Throughout Revelation, the scenes of judgment on earth are interspersed with scenes of worship in heaven. The worship reminds us that God will ultimately triumph over evil (11:16-18). † Rev 12:5 – Jesus is ____________________. |
周四 Thursday 启示录 13 Rev 13 启示录 14 Rev 14 启示录 15 Rev 15 启示录 16 Rev 16 | 启示录 13 章表明神有时会允许祂的圣徒受苦。在苦难面前坚毅忍耐是启示录的一个重要主题。你愿意为神受苦吗？ 启示录 13 章中的兽会行“大奇事”迷惑人。千万不要相信那些行出表面上的神迹奇事，卻不遵循圣经的教师。奇事是可以伪造的，而我们最终的权威必须是神的话语。 Revelation 13 shows that God sometimes allows His saints to suffer. Perseverance in the face of suffering is a major theme of Revelation. Are you willing to suffer for God? The beast of Revelation 13 will deceive people with “great signs.” We must not trust apparent miracles and signs from teachers who do not follow Scripture. Signs can be faked; our final authority must be God’s Word. |
周五 Friday 启示录 17 Rev 17 启示录 18 Rev 18 启示录 19 Rev 19 | † 启示录 17:14 – 耶稣是____________________。 启示录传达的信息，其中一个就是坚忍。忠心坚忍到底要求我们不与邪恶妥协。神呼召祂的子民从巴比伦“出来”， “免得与她一同有罪”（18:4）。在启示录中，“巴比伦”代表这个世界的邪恶权势。神的子民绝不能为了政治、经济或社会的权势而在真理上妥协。 当你读到巴比伦的灭亡时，要为神的最终胜利而欢喜快乐（19:6-8）。尽管邪恶势力看似强大，至终，神必得胜。 † 启示录 19:11 –耶稣是骑在白马上，那一位称为诚信真实的。 † Rev 17:14 – Jesus is ____________________. One message of Revelation is endurance. Faithful endurance requires us to avoid compromise with evil. God called His people to “come out” of Babylon “lest you take part in her sins” (18:4). In Revelation, “Babylon” represents the evil powers of this world. God’s people must never compromise truth for the sake of political, economic, or social power. As you read about the fall of Babylon, rejoice in God’s ultimate victory (19:6-8). Although the powers of evil may appear to be strong, God will ultimately win. † Rev 19:11 – Jesus is the Faithful and True rider on the white horse. |
周六 Saturday 启示录 20 Rev 20 启示录 21 Rev 21 启示录 22 Rev 22 | 约翰写启示录是为了鼓励受迫害的基督徒。他保证，“他们要与基督一同作王一千年”（20:6）。约翰写这封信时，距罗马帝国灭亡还不到 400 年。但神的国度比所有其他帝国更长久。 当你阅读启示录 20:15 时，问问自己：“我的名字写在生命册上了吗？”神应许，凡信祂的人必得永生。如果你从未接受过基督，请回转归向祂，并接受祂应许的新生命吧！ 读启示录 21-22 章时，请回想创世记 2 章中伊甸园的画面。在天上，伊甸园将恢复完美。神将扭转人类罪恶的后果；我们必再次生活在一个完美的世界里。圣经的故事可以这样总结： - 一个完美世界的创造（创世记 1-2 章） 启示录 22:4 是圣经中最激动人心的经文之一。在堕落后，没有人看见神的面容还能存活（出埃 及记 33:20）。但在天上，我们“要见他的面”。我们将永远活在祂荣耀和美好的同在中。当我们与神面对面时，生命中承受的所有艰辛困难都值得了。 † 启示录 22:12 – 耶稣是____________________。 † 启示录 22:16 – 耶稣是____________________. Revelation was written to encourage persecuted Christians. John promised that “they will reign with him for a thousand years” (20:6). When John wrote this letter, the Roman Empire was less than 400 years from collapse. God’s kingdom will outlast all other empires. As you read Rev 20:15, ask, “Is my name written in the book of life?” God promises that anyone who believes will have eternal life. If you have never accepted Christ, please turn to Him and accept His promise of new life. As you read Revelation 21-22, recall the picture of the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2. In heaven, the perfection of the Garden will be restored. God will reverse the results of man’s sin; we will once again live in a perfect world. We can summarize the story of the Bible like this:
Revelation 22:4 is one of the most exciting verses of the Bible. After the Fall, no one could see God and live (Ex 33:20). But in heaven, we “will see his face.” We will live forever in His glorious and beautiful presence. All the difficulties of life will be worth it when we see Him face to face. † Rev 22:12 – Jesus is ____________________. † Rev 22:16 – Jesus is ____________________. |

年底回顾 Year End | 第 50-52 周 Weeks 50-52 (12/11/2023-12/31/2023) 如果你进度慢了，最后的这三周给你一个机会赶上来。如果你已经按计划表读完了，那就利用这几周的时间来反思今年学到了什么。回顾你的笔记，求神提醒你所学到、可运用在来年的宝贵功课。求神把祂的话语持续植入你的心中。 坚持度日日顺服神话语的生活。记住雅各书 1:22-25： 只是你们要行道，不要单单听道，自己欺哄自己。因为听道而不行道的，就像人对着镜子看自己本来的面目，看见，走后，随即忘了他的相貌如何。惟有详细察看那全备、使人自由之律法的，并且时常如此，这人既不是听了就忘，乃是实在行出来，就在他所行的事上必然得福。 These final three weeks give you an opportunity to catch up if you have fallen behind. If you have finished on schedule, take these weeks to reflect on what you have learned this year. Review your notes and ask God to remind you of valuable lessons for the coming year. Ask God to continue to plant God’s Word in your heart. Commit to living in daily obedience to His Word. Remember James 1:22-25: But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing |
