Scripture Reading: Rev. 7:2; 8:3-5; 10:1-6; 18:1; 10:7
壹　基督在祂神圣行政的工作中，是另一位天使─七2，八3，十1，十八1：
I.　In His work in the divine administration, Christ is another Angel—7:2; 8:3; 10:1; 18:1:
一　基督被称为“另一位天使”，因为祂站在受神差遣者的地位上：
A.　Christ is called "another Angel" because He stands on the position of one who has been sent by God:
1　在旧约，基督被称为耶和华的使者─创二二11~ 12，出三2~6，士六11~24，亚一11~12，二8~11，三1~7。
1.　In the Old Testament Christ was called the Angel of the Lord—Gen. 22:11-12; Exo. 3:2-6; Judg. 6:11-24; Zech. 1:11-12; 2:8-11; 3:1-7.
2　在启示录，祂被称为“另一位天使”，就是独一、特别的天使，因为祂是受神差遣，以完成神经纶的那一位─七2，八3，十1，5，9，十八1。
2.　In the book of Revelation He is called "another Angel," the unique, special Angel, because He is the One sent by God to carry out His economy— 7:2; 8:3; 10:1, 5, 9; 18:1.
二　基督作为另一位天使，照顾神的子民，包括以色列子孙和信徒：
B.　As another Angel Christ takes care of God's people, both the sons of Israel and the believers:
1　在七章二至八节，祂看顾以色列人中蒙拣选的余民，并且被揭示为另一位天使;这与“以色列子孙各支派中受印的有十四万四千”这事有关─4节。
1.　In 7:2-8 He takes care of the chosen remnant of Israel and is unveiled as another Angel in relation to "a hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel"—v. 4.
2　基督在作为另一位天使所作的工作中，看顾信徒，就是召会中蒙救赎的圣徒，保守他们经过一切的患难─9~17节。
2.　In His work as another Angel, Christ takes care of the believers, the redeemed saints of the church, preserving them throughout all the tribulations—vv. 9-17.
3　基督作为神的天使，管制全宇宙，指引别的天使完成神对地的审判─2~3节。
3.　Christ as God's Angel controls the whole universe, directing the other angels to carry out God's judgment upon the earth—vv. 2-3.
三　在八章三至五节，基督是另一位天使，藉著作大祭司，带着祂圣徒的祷告向神供职，以执行神在地上的行政：
C.　In 8:3-5 Christ as another Angel executes God's administration over the earth by ministering to God as the High Priest with the prayers of His saints:
1　香坛（金坛）乃是神行政的执行中心─3节。
1.　The incense altar (golden altar) is the executing center of God's administration—v. 3.
2　金香炉象征众圣徒的祷告，（五8，）香象征基督连同祂所有的一切功绩，加到众圣徒的祷告上。─引用经文
2.　The golden censer signifies the prayers of the saints (5:8), and the incense signifies Christ with all His merit added to the saints' prayers.
3　当众圣徒的祷告同着基督的香上升到神那里，神就执行祂的行政─八5：
3.　When the prayers of the saints ascend to God with the incense of Christ, God carries out His administration—8:5:
a　神的行政需要圣徒的祷告，那是他们对基督天上职事的回应。
a.　God's administration needs the saints' prayers, which are their response to Christ's heavenly ministry.
b　我们祷告时，祂就执行行政;祂执行行政时，我们就祷告。
b.　As we pray He administrates, and as He administrates we pray.
c　基督先把我们的祷告献给神，然后倾倒出神的答应。
c.　Christ f irst offers our prayers to God and then pours out God's answers.
d　将神对我们祷告的答应倾倒出来，等于神宇宙的行政。
d.　The pouring out of God's answers to our prayers equals God's universal administration.
四　在十章一至二节，基督作为另一位天使，来据有海与地：
D.　In 10:1-2 Christ comes as another Angel to take possession of the sea and the land:
1　祂一脚踏海，一脚踏地，表征祂是来据有全地─2节下。
1.　His having one foot on the sea and the other on the land signifies that He is coming to take possession of the whole earth—v. 2b.
2　虽然地与海被神的仇敌所霸占，但有一天基督要不再容忍这个霸占，祂要来取回祂合法的产业─诗二8，二四1。
2.　Although the earth and the sea have been usurped by God's enemy, one day Christ will no longer tolerate this usurpation, and He will come to claim His rightful inheritance—Psa. 2:8; 24:1.
五　基督在作为另一位天使所作的工作中，要来宣告神对大巴比伦的审判，并在荣耀里显现，使全地成为神的国─启十八1~2，十一15。
E.　In His work as another Angel Christ will come to declare God's judgment over Babylon the Great and to appear in glory to make the whole earth the kingdom of God—18:1-2; 11:15.
贰　第七号，作为经过过程之三一神永远经纶的总结，结束现今奥秘的世代;因此，启示录十章七节说，“神的奥秘就完成了”：
II.　The seventh trumpet, as the conclusion of the eternal economy of the processed Triune God, closes the present age of mystery; hence, Revelation 10:7 says, "The mystery of God is finished":
一　但以理九章二十四节说到截定了七十个七，要“封住异象和预言”：
A.　Daniel 9:24 speaks of the seventy weeks, which were apportioned to "seal up vision and prophet":
1　封住异象和预言，乃是要结束奥秘的世代（召会时代），也就是完成神的奥秘。
1.　To seal up vision and prophet is to close the age of mystery (the age of the church), that is, to finish the mystery of God.
2　要封住异象和预言，因为一切都完成了：
2.　The vision and prophet will be sealed because everything will be fulf illed:
a　不再需要异象和预言了。
a.　There will be no further need of vision and prophet.
b　在国度时代有君王和祭司，但没有申言者（预言者）。
b.　In the kingdom age, there will be kings and priests but no prophets.
二　从亚当到摩西，以及从摩西到基督这两个时代，每件事都是启示出来的，都是显明的，没有奥秘;将来在千年国时代，也是这样，一切都是显明的，不再有奥秘。
B.　In the dispensations from Adam to Moses and from Moses to Christ, everything was unveiled, manifested, and there was no mystery; also in the dispensation of the millennial kingdom everything will be unveiled, and there will be no more mystery.
三　从基督到千年国的时代─召会时代，恩典时代─一切都是奥秘：
C.　In the dispensation from Christ to the millennial kingdom—the church age, the age of grace— everything is a mystery:
1　基督成为肉体是个奥秘，乃是奥秘时代的开始─提前三16：
1.　The incarnation of Christ, as the beginning of the dispensation of mystery, is a mystery— 1 Tim. 3:16:
a　藉着基督成为肉体，无限的神被带进有限的人里面。
a.　Through the incarnation of Christ, the infinite God was brought into the finite man.
b　整个神，不仅是子神，成了肉体;因此，基督成肉体时，乃是整个神显现于肉体。
b.　The entire God, not God the Son only, was incarnated; hence, Christ in incarnation is the entire God manifested in the flesh.
2　基督是神的奥秘─西二2：
2.　Christ is the mystery of God—Col. 2:2:
a　神是奥秘;基督作为神的具体化身彰显神，乃是神的奥秘。
a.　God is a mystery, and Christ, as the embodiment of God to express Him, is the mystery of God.
b　基督作为神的奥秘，乃是神的具体化身、解释和说明;一切神所要作的，都与基督有关。
b.　As the mystery of God, Christ is the embodiment, definition, and explanation of God; all that God intends to do is related to Christ.
c　神格一切的丰满，都有形有体的居住在基督里面;也就是说，三一神的丰满，以有形有体的方式居住在基督里面─9节。
c.　In Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; that is, the fullness of the Triune God dwells in Christ in a bodily form—v. 9.
3　召会是基督的奥秘─弗三4~6：
3.　The church is the mystery of Christ—Eph. 3:4-6:
a　基督是奥秘;召会作为基督的身体彰显基督，乃是基督的奥秘。
a.　Christ is a mystery, and the church, as the Body of Christ to express Him, is the mystery of Christ.
b　这奥秘是神的经纶，就是将作神具体化身的基督，分赐到神所拣选的人里面，为要产生一个身体，作神在基督里具体化身的扩增，使神得着一个团体的彰显。
b.　This mystery is God's economy, which is to dispense Christ, as the embodiment of God, into God's chosen people in order to produce a Body to be the increase of God's embodiment in Christ, that God may have a corporate expression.
c　基督与召会是一灵，乃是极大的奥秘─五32。
c.　Christ and the church as one spirit are the great mystery—5:32.
4　诸天的国、（太十三11、）福音、（弗六19、）基督的内住、（西一27、）以及在奥秘时代结束时圣徒的复活和改变形状，也都是奥秘。─引用经文
4.　The kingdom of the heavens (Matt. 13:11), the gospel (Eph. 6:19), the indwelling of Christ (Col. 1:27), and the resurrection and transfiguration of the saints as the ending of the dispensation of mystery are also mysteries.
5　第七号吹响时，这一切奥秘都要完成;因此，神的奥秘就结束了。
5.　At the trumpeting of the seventh trumpet, all these mysteries will be completed; therefore, the mystery of God will be finished.
