2 个奥秘在运作 The 2 mysteries at work

1. 不法分子的隐秘 Mystery of Lawlessness 2 帖后 Thess 2:77 因 为 那 不 法 的 隐 意 已 经 发 动 ， 只 是 现 在 有 一 个 拦 阻 的 ， 等 到 那 拦 阻 的 被 除 去 ， 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He[d] who now restrains will do so until He[e] is taken out of the way.

2 个奥秘在运作 The 2 mysteries at work

1. 不法分子的隐秘 Mystery of Lawlessness 2 帖后 Thess 2:78 那 时 这 不 法 的 人 必 显 露 出 来 。 主 耶 稣 要 用 口 中 的 气 灭 绝 他 ， 用 降 临 的 荣 光 废 掉 他 。 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

2. 敬虔的奥秘 Mystery of Godliness

1 提前 Tim 3:16 16 大 哉，敬 虔 的 奥 秘！无 人 不 以 为 然 ： 就 是 神 在 肉 身 显 现，被 圣 灵 称 义，被 天 使 看 见，被 传 於 外 邦，被 世 人 信 服，被 接 在 荣 耀 里。 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

马太 Matt 24 耶稣出了圣殿，正走的时候，门徒进前来，把殿宇指给他看。 2 耶稣对他们说：你们不是看见这殿宇麽？我实在告诉你们，将来在这里没有一块石头留在石头上，不被拆毁了。 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

马太 Matt 24 3 耶稣在橄榄山上坐着，门徒暗暗的来说：请告诉我们，甚麽时候有这些事？你降临和世界的末了有甚麽豫兆呢？ 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

马太 Matt 24 4 耶稣回答说：你们要谨慎，免得有人迷惑你们。5 因为将来有好些人冒我的名来，说：我是基督，并且要迷惑许多人。 4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.

马太 Matt 24 6 你们也要听见打仗和打仗的风声，总不要惊慌；因为这些事是必须有的，只是末期还没有到。 7 民要攻打民，国要攻打国；多处必有饥荒、地震。 8 这都是灾难的起头。 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

末日时间的预兆 ( 耶稣第二次降临之前 ) End Time Signs (before Jesus Second Coming)

马太 Matt 24 9 那 时，人要把你们陷在患难里，也要杀害你们；你们又要为我的名被万民恨恶。 10 那时，必有许多人跌倒，也要彼此陷害，彼此恨恶； 9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,

马太 Matt 24 11 且有好些假先知起来，迷惑多人。 12 只因不法的事增多，许多人的爱心才渐渐冷淡了。 13 惟有忍耐到底的，必然得救。 14 这天国的福音要传遍天下，对万民作见证，然後末期才来到。 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

马太 Matt 24 15 你们看见先知但以理所说的那行毁坏可憎的站在圣地（读这经的人须要会意）。 16 那时，在犹太的，应当逃到山上； 17 在房上的，不要下来拿家里的东西； 15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house.

马太 Matt 24 18 在田里的，也不要回去取衣裳。 19 当那些日子，怀孕的和奶孩子的有祸了。 20 你们应当祈求，叫你们逃走的时候，不遇见冬天或是安息日。 21 因为那时必有大灾难，从世界的起头直到如今，没有这样的灾难，後来也必没有。 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

马太 Matt 24 22 若不减少那日子，凡有血气的总没有一个得救的；只是为选民，那日子必减少了。 23 那时，若有人对你们说：基督在这里，或说：基督在那里，你们不要信！ 24 因为假基督、假先知将要起来，显大神迹、大奇事，倘若能行，连选民也就迷惑了。 25 看哪，我预先告诉你们了。 22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

马太 Matt 24 26 若有人对你们说：看哪，基督在旷野里，你们不要出去！或说：看哪，基督在内屋中，你们不要信！ 27 闪电从东边发出，直照到西边。人子降临，也要这样。28 尸首在那里，鹰也必聚在那里。 26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

末日时间的预兆 ( 耶稣第二次降临之前 ) End Time Signs (before Jesus Second Coming)

马太 Matt 24 29 那些日子的灾难一过去，日头就变黑了，月亮也不放光，众星要从天上坠落，天势都要震动。 29 “Immediately after the distress of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b]

马太 Matt 24 30 那时，人子的兆头要显在天上，地上的万族都要哀哭。他们要看见人子，有能力，有大荣耀 . ，驾着天上的云降临。 31 他要差遣使者，用号筒的大声，将他的选民，从四方，从天这边到天那边，都招聚了来。 30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

马太 Matt 24 32 你们可以从无花果树学个比方：当树枝发嫩长叶的时候，你们就知道夏天近了。 33 这样，你们看见这一切的事，也该知道人子近了，正在门口了。 34 我实在告诉你们，这世代还没有过去，这些事都要成就。 35 天地要废去，我的话却不能废去。 32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

马太 Matthew 24 (NKJV)36 那日子，那时辰，没有人知道，连天上的使者也不知道，子也不知道，惟独父知道。 37 挪亚的日子怎样，人子降临也要怎样。 38 当洪水以前的日子，人照常吃喝嫁娶，直到挪亚进方舟的那日； 39 不知不觉洪水来了，把他们全都冲去。人子降临也要这样。 40 那时，两个人在田里，取去一个，撇下一个。 41 两个女人推磨，取去一个，撇下一个。 42 所以，你们要儆醒，因为不知道你们的主是那一天来到。

马太 Matthew 24 (NKJV)43 家主若知道几更天有贼来，就必儆醒，不容人挖透房屋；这是你们所知道的。 44 所以，你们也要预备，因为你们想不到的时候，人子就来了。

马太 Matthew 24 (NKJV)36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven,[e] but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.

马太 Matthew 24 (NKJV)41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be READY, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

不要预测 , 但是要尽全力做好准备 . 你预备面对末日了吗 ? Do not bother predicting, but do all you can preparing.

Are you ready for THE END? 末日时候不是关于预测 , 乃是关于预备问题是”你预备好了吗 ?” END TIME IS NEVER

ABOUT PREDICTIONS, BUT IT’S ABOUT PREPARATIONS
