新約聖經 和合本
路加福音 第廿一章
1耶穌抬頭觀看,見財主把捐項投在庫裡,
2又見一個窮寡婦投了兩個小錢,
3就說:我實在告訴你們,這窮寡婦所投的比眾人還多;
4因為眾人都是自己有餘,拿出來投在捐項裡,但這寡婦是自己不足,把他一切養生的都投上了。
5有人談論聖殿是用美石和供物妝飾的;
6耶穌就說:論到你們所看見的這一切,將來日子到了,在這裡沒有一塊石頭留在石頭上,不被拆毀了。
7他們問他說:夫子!甚麼時候有這事呢﹖這事將到的時候有甚麼豫兆呢﹖
8耶穌說:你們要謹慎,不要受迷惑;因為將來有好些人冒我的名來,說:我是基督,又說:時候近了,你們不要跟從他們!
9你們聽見打仗和擾亂的事,不要驚惶;因為這些事必須先有,只是末期不能立時就到。
10當時,耶穌對他們說:民要攻打民,國要攻打國;
11地要大大震動,多處必有饑荒、瘟疫,又有可怕的異象和大神蹟從天上顯現。
12但這一切的事以先,人要下手拿住你們,逼迫你們,把你們交給會堂,並且收在監裡,又為我的名拉你們到君王諸侯面前。
13但這些事終必為你們的見證。
14所以,你們當立定心意,不要豫先思想怎樣分訴;
15因為我必賜你們口才、智慧,是你們一切敵人所敵不住、駁不倒的。
16連你們的父母、弟兄、親族、朋友也要把你們交官;你們也有被他們害死的。
17你們要為我的名被眾人恨惡,
18然而,你們連一根頭髮也必不損壞。
19你們常存忍耐,就必保全靈魂(或作:必得生命)。
20你們看見耶路撒冷被兵圍困,就可知道他成荒場的日子近了。
21那時,在猶太的應當逃到山上;在城裡的應當出來;在鄉下的不要進城;
22因為這是報應的日子,使經上所寫的都得應驗。
23當那些日子,懷孕的和奶孩子的有禍了!因為將有大災難降在這地方,也有震怒臨到這百姓。
24他們要倒在刀下,又被擄到各國去。耶路撒冷要被外邦人踐踏, 直到外邦人的日期滿了。
25日、月、星辰要顯出異兆,地上的邦國也有困苦;因海中波浪的響聲,就慌慌不定。
26天勢都要震動,人想起那將要臨到世界的事,就都嚇得魂不附體。
27那時,他們要看見人子有能力,有大榮耀駕雲降臨。
28一有這些事,你們就當挺身昂首,因為你們得贖的日子近了。
29耶穌又設比喻對他們說:你們看無花果樹和各樣的樹;他發芽的時候,你們一看見,自然曉得夏天近了。
30a
31這樣,你們看見這些事漸漸的成就,也該曉得神的國近了。
32我實在告訴你們,這世代還沒有過去,這些事都要成就。
33天地要廢去,我的話卻不能廢去。
34你們要謹慎,恐怕因貪食、醉酒,並今生的思慮累住你們的心,那日子就如同網羅忽然臨到你們;
35因為那日子要這樣臨到全地上一切居住的人。
36你們要時時儆醒,常常祈求,使你們能逃避這一切要來的事,得以站立在人子面前。
37耶穌每日在殿裡教訓人,每夜出城在一座山,名叫橄欖山住宿。
38眾百姓清早上聖殿,到耶穌那裡,要聽他講道。
Compiled on 8th February 2003.
Jesus looked around and saw rich men dropping their gifts in the Temple treasury,
and he also saw a very poor widow dropping in two little copper coins.
He said, "I tell you that this poor widow put in more than all the others.
For the others offered their gifts from what they had to spare of their riches; but she, poor as she is, gave all she had to live on."
Some of the disciples were talking about the Temple, how beautiful it looked with its fine stones and the gifts offered to God. Jesus said,
"All you see--the time will come when not a single stone here will be left in its place; every one will be thrown down."
"Teacher," they asked, "when will this be? And what will happen in order to show that the time has come for it to take place?"
Jesus said, "Watch out, don't be fooled. Many men, claiming to speak for me, will come and say, 'I am he!' and, 'The time has come!' But don't follow them.
Don't be afraid when you hear of wars and revolutions; such things must happen first, but they do not mean that the end is near."
He went on to say, "Countries will fight each other, kingdoms will attack one another.
There will be terrible earthquakes, famines, and plagues everywhere; there will be strange and terrifying things coming from the sky.
Before all these things take place, however, you will be arrested and persecuted; you will be handed over to be tried in synagogues and be put in prison; you will be brought before kings and rulers for my sake.
This will be your chance to tell the Good News.
Make up your minds ahead of time not to worry about how you will defend yourselves,
because I will give you such words and wisdom that none of your enemies will be able to refute or contradict what you say.
You will be handed over by your parents, your brothers, your relatives, and your friends; and some of you will be put to death.
Everyone will hate you because of me.
But not a single hair from your heads will be lost.
Stand firm, and you will save yourselves.
When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you will know that she will soon be destroyed.
Then those who are in Judea must run away to the hills; those who are in the city must leave, and those who are out in the country must not go into the city.
For those will be 'The Days of Punishment,' to make come true all that the Scriptures say.
How terrible it will be in those days for women who are pregnant and for mothers with little babies! Terrible distress will come upon this land, and God's punishment will fall on this people.
Some will be killed by the sword, and others will be taken as prisoners to all countries; and the heaven will trample over Jerusalem until their time is up.
There will be strange things happening to the sun, the moon, and the stars. On earth whole countries will be in despair, afraid of the roar of the sea and the raging tides.
People will faint from fear as they wait for what is coming over the whole earth, for the powers in space will be driven from their courses.
Then the Son of Man will appear, coming in a cloud with great power and glory.
When these things begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your salvation is near."
Then Jesus told them this parable: "Think of the fig tree and all the other trees.
When you see their leaves beginning to appear, you know that summer is near.
In the same way, when you see these things happening, you will know that the Kingdom of God is about to come.
Remember that all these things will take place before the people now living have all died.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Be careful not to let yourselves become occupied with too much feasting and drinking and with the worries of this life, or that Day may suddenly catch you
like a trap. For it will come upon all people everywhere on earth.
Be on watch and pray always that you will have the strength to go safely through all those things that will happen and to stand before the Son of Man."
Jesus spent those days teaching in the Temple, and when evening came, he would go out and spent the night on the Mount of Olives.
Early each morning all the people went to the Temple to listen to him.
Compare by yourself, if you know Chinese, those I highlighted. For the full sentences, they indicate what is to happen soon. Verse 32 is wrong unless it is talking about the present time.
4th January 2008 - Verse 20 is saying Israel surrounded by the Muslims. So any time now verse 22 will occur. This is the punishment for the world to disobey me. I preach the TRUTH that your Spirit at the Mark on your forehead is your God, Tao, Allah, Buddha etc. It has to be Sealed presently by I-Kuan Tao group.
See also Matthew chapter 24, Mark chapter 13.
