壹　“闪电怎样从东边发出，直照到西边，人子来临也要这样”─太二四27：
I.　"For just as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be"—Matt. 24:27:
一　基督的再来有两方面：隐密的一面，向着儆醒的信徒;公开的一面，向着不信的犹太人和外邦人。
A.　The second coming of Christ has two aspects: the secret aspect, related to His watchful believers, and the open aspect, related to the unbelieving Jews and Gentiles.
二　闪电，象征大灾难后公开的一面;贼来，象征大灾难前隐密的一面─29~30，43节。
B.　The lightning signifies the open aspect, which will take place after the great tribulation, and the thief's coming signifies the secret aspect, which will occur before the great tribulation—vv. 29-30, 43.
三　主来要象闪电一样临到地上，这将是主巴路西亚结束的一个兆头，也含示主象电一样─3节，路十七24。
C.　The Lord's coming like a flash of lightning striking the earth will be a sign of the end of the Lord's parousia and implies that the Lord is like electricity— v. 3; Luke 17:24.
贰　“尸首在那里，鹰也必聚在那里”─太二四28：
II.　"Wherever the corpse is, there will the vultures be gathered together"— Matt. 24:28:
一　鹰是指基督和祂的得胜者;他们要象快速飞来的军队，与敌基督及其军兵争战，并在哈米吉顿将其消灭─出十九4，申三二11，二八49，赛四十31，何八1。
A.　The vultures refer to Christ and His overcomers, who will come as a swift, flying army to war against Antichrist and his armies and destroy them at Armageddon—Exo. 19:4; Deut. 32:11; 28:49; Isa. 40:31; Hosea 8:1.
二　在基督显现时，祂要同祂的得胜者，象鹰一样快速的从空中出现。
B.　At His appearing Christ and His overcomers will appear swiftly from the air like vultures.
叁　“那时，诸天的国好比十个童女，拿着她们的灯，出去迎接新郎”─太二五1：
III.　"At that time the kingdom of the heavens will be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom"—Matt. 25:1:
一　我们是出去的童女，基督是来临的新郎─参九15。
A.　We are the virgins going, and Christ is the Bridegroom coming—cf. 9:15.
二　圣经里有一对宇宙的夫妻─新郎与新妇;基督回来时，将是为着祂的新妇而来的新郎。
B.　In the Bible we have a universal couple—the Bridegroom and the bride; in His coming back Christ will be the Bridegroom coming for His bride.
三　神的掌权，就是国度，与基督的婚娶有关，基督的婚娶乃是神永远经纶完成的结果─启十九7：
C.　The reign of God, the kingdom, is related to the marriage of Christ, and the marriage of Christ is the issue of the completion of God's eternal economy— Rev. 19:7:
1　神新约中的经纶是要借着祂的救赎和神圣的生命，为基督娶得一个新妇，就是召会─约三29。
1.　God's economy in the New Testament is to obtain for Christ a bride, the church, through His redemption and divine life—John 3:29.
2　借着圣灵历代不断的作工，到这世代结束时，这目标必然达到。那时，新妇，就是得胜的信徒，要预备好，主就要回来。
2.　By the continual working of the Holy Spirit throughout the centuries, this goal will be reached at the end of this age; then the bride, the overcoming believers, will be ready, and the Lord will come.
肆　“从此以后你们要看见人子，坐在那大能者的右边，驾着天上的云而来”─太二六64：
IV.　"From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven"—Matt. 26:64:
一　主在地上钉十字架以前是人子;祂复活以后，在诸天之上仍是人子;（徒七56;）祂驾着云回来时也是人子。─引用经文
A.　The Lord was the Son of Man on the earth before His crucifixion, He has been the Son of Man in the heavens since His resurrection (Acts 7:56), and He will be the Son of Man at His coming back on the clouds.
二　主必须是人，才能成就神的定旨，并建立诸天的国;没有人，神的定旨就不能在地上通行，诸天的国也不能在地上构成─太四4。
B.　To accomplish God's purpose and to establish the kingdom of the heavens, the Lord had to be a man; without man, God's purpose could not be carried out on earth, nor could the kingdom of the heavens be constituted on earth—Matt. 4:4.
伍　“我…要把晨星赐给他”─启二28：
V.　"To him I will give the morning star"—Rev. 2:28:
一　基督在回来时，对那些儆醒等候祂来的得胜者，隐密的是晨星，作他们的赏赐;对所有其余的人，祂公开的出现如日头─二二16，玛四2：
A.　In His coming back Christ will be the morning star secretly as a reward to His overcomers who watch for His coming; to all others He will appear openly as the sun—22:16; Mal. 4:2:
1　在国度里，主对祂的百姓，要公开的出现如日头。
1.　In the kingdom the Lord will appear publicly to His people as the sun.
2　大灾难之前，祂要象晨星，暗中向祂的得胜者显现。
2.　Before the great tribulation He will appear privately to His overcomers as the morning star.
二　“主，你也是明亮晨星，作我儆醒赏赐;照亮那些爱你之人，正当黑暗深时。求主使我爱慕你光，使我眼光清明;儆醒、祷告、等候你来，犹如等候晨星。”（诗歌一五六首。）
B.　"Thou also art the Morning Star / To us as a reward; / While still 'tis dark it shines with light / To those who love the Lord. / Lord, help us e'er to love Thy light / And see things from afar; / And look for Thee in watch and prayer / As for the Morning Star" (Hymns, #200).
陆　“若不儆醒，我必临到你那里如同贼一样。我几时临到，你也绝不能知道”─启三3：
VI.　"If therefore you will not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall by no means know at what hour I will come upon you"—Rev. 3:3:
一　贼是在人不晓得的时候，来偷取贵重的物品。
A.　A thief comes to steal precious things at an unknown time.
二　主耶稣要象贼一样，隐密的临到那些爱祂的人，把他们当作宝贝取走─太二四43。
B.　The Lord Jesus will come secretly, as a thief, to those who love Him and will take them away as His treasures—Matt. 24:43.
三　因为基督要来“偷取”宝贵的东西，我们就该寻求成为贵重的，在祂隐密来临时配给祂“偷取”。
C.　Because Christ will come to "steal" valuable things, we should seek to be precious, worthy of being "stolen" by Him in His secret coming.
四　正常的基督徒是有资格被主偷取的人。
D.　A normal Christian is one who is qualified to be stolen by the Lord.
五　为着主象贼一样的来临，我们需要儆醒并预备─42，44节。
E.　For the Lord's coming as a thief we need watchfulness and readiness—vv. 42, 44.
柒　“我必快来，你要持守你所有的，免得有人夺去你的冠冕”─启三11：
VII.　"I come quickly; hold fast what you have that no one take your crown"— Rev. 3:11:
一　主带领祂恢复里的召会进入祂来的感觉中，因为她爱祂。
A.　The Lord brings the church in His recovery into the sensation of His coming, because she loves Him.
二　所有在主恢复中的召会，都该在祂要回来的激励下爱祂。
B.　All the churches in the Lord's recovery should love the Lord under the inspiration of His coming back.
三　当我们在祂的恢复里为祂作见证的时候，主的回来对我们该是宝贵的。
C.　The Lord's coming back should be precious to us while we are testifying of Him in His recovery.
