基督的第二次再來 The Second Coming of Christ

⸻
今天這堂課的主題是：基督的第二次再來。
Today’s lesson focuses on the second coming of Christ.
也就是聖經所說的審判日。
This day is also called the Day of Judgment in Scripture.
我們剛才所唱的詩歌，正好點出這個真理──主必再來。
The hymn we just sang clearly proclaims this truth — the Lord will come again.
那是一個「偉大的日子」，也是聖經說的「所定的日子」。
It is described as a “great day” and also as a day appointed by God.
對忠心的人而言，那不是恐懼的日子，
For the faithful, that day is not one of fear,
而是可以帶著盼望期待的日子。
but a day to be eagerly anticipated with hope.
正如使徒保羅在描述基督再來之後，對帖撒羅尼迦教會所說的：
As the apostle Paul said to the Thessalonian church after describing Christ’s return:
「所以，你們當用這些話彼此勸慰。」
“Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
——《帖撒羅尼迦前書》4:18 / 1 Thessalonians 4:18
今天我們要查考三個問題
Today We Will Examine Three Questions
基督真的會再來嗎？真的會有審判日嗎？
Will Christ truly come again? Will there really be a Day of Judgment?
基督何時再來？
When will Christ return?
那一天會是什麼樣子？
What will that day be like?
問題一：基督真的會再來嗎？
Question One: Will Christ Truly Come Again?
答案是：一定會。
The answer is: Yes, without question.
聖經清楚宣告，神已經定下那一天。
Scripture clearly declares that God has already appointed that day.
「因為他已經定了日子，要藉著他所設立的人按公義審判天下；
並且叫他從死裡復活，給萬人作可信的憑據。」
“Because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained,
and He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
——《使徒行傳》17:31 / Acts 17:31
耶穌自己也親口應許：
Jesus Himself personally promised:
「我去原是為你們預備地方去……
我若去為你們預備了地方，就必再來接你們到我那裡去。」
“I go to prepare a place for you…
and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself.”
——《約翰福音》14:2–3 / John 14:2–3
祂去了，也必再來。
He has gone, and He will return.
問題二：基督何時再來？
Question Two: When Will Christ Return?
聖經給我們一個明確的答案──
Scripture gives us a very clear answer —
沒有人知道。
No one knows.
「但主的日子要像賊來到一樣。」
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night.”
——《彼得後書》3:10 / 2 Peter 3:10
耶穌也說：
Jesus also said:
「但那日子、那時辰，沒有人知道……惟獨父知道。」
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”
——《馬太福音》24:36 / Matthew 24:36
而且，那一天來到時，世界看起來會非常平常：
And when that day comes, the world will appear completely ordinary:
「人照常吃喝嫁娶……直到挪亞進方舟的那日。」
“They were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage… until the day that Noah entered the ark.”
——《馬太福音》24:38 / Matthew 24:38
人照常生活，
People will be living their normal lives,
直到那一刻──一切突然改變。
until that moment — when everything suddenly changes.
問題三：那一天會是什麼樣子？
Question Three: What Will That Day Be Like?
一、主親自降臨，號筒響起
1. The Lord Personally Descends, and the Trumpet Sounds
「主必親自從天降臨……那在基督裡死了的人必先復活。」
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven… and the dead in Christ will rise first.”
——《帖撒羅尼迦前書》4:16 / 1 Thessalonians 4:16
那一天原本像任何一天一樣，
That day will begin like any other day,
卻會被神的號筒聲徹底打斷。
but it will be completely interrupted by the trumpet of God.
接著──眾目都要看見祂：
Then — every eye will see Him:
「看哪，他駕雲降臨；眾目要看見他……」
“Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him…”
——《啟示錄》1:7 / Revelation 1:7
二、死人復活，活人改變
2. The Dead Are Raised, and the Living Are Changed
「凡在墳墓裡的，都要聽見他的聲音，就出來。」
“All who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth.”
——《約翰福音》5:28 / John 5:28
「死人要復活成為不朽壞的，我們也要改變。」
“The dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
——《哥林多前書》15:52 / 1 Corinthians 15:52
那一天：
On that day:
死去的人復活
The dead will be raised活著的人改變
The living will be transformed靈魂與復活的身體重新聯合
Souls will be reunited with resurrected bodies陰間被清空
Hades will be emptied
三、眾人被分別
3. All People Are Separated
「取去一個，撇下一個。」
“One will be taken and the other left.”
——《馬太福音》24:40 / Matthew 24:40
「把綿羊安置在右邊，山羊在左邊。」
“He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.”
——《馬太福音》25:33 / Matthew 25:33
聖經沒有第三種地方。
Scripture teaches no third destination.
那一天只有兩群人：
On that day there are only two groups:
得救的
The saved失喪的
The lost
四、天地被廢去
4. The Heavens and the Earth Are Destroyed
「有形質的都要被烈火銷化。」
“The elements will melt with fervent heat.”
——《彼得後書》3:10 / 2 Peter 3:10
這世界不是永恆的。
This world is not eternal.
五、書卷打開，面對基督
5. The Books Are Opened, and We Face Christ
「案卷展開了……照他們所行的受審判。」
“The books were opened… and the dead were judged according to their works.”
——《啟示錄》20:12 / Revelation 20:12
生命冊
The Book of Life
「若有人名字沒記在生命冊上，他就被扔在火湖裡。」
“Anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.”
——《啟示錄》20:15 / Revelation 20:15
神的話
The Word of God
「我所講的道，在末日要審判他。」
“The word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.”
——《約翰福音》12:48 / John 12:48
最後的問題
The Final Question
你預備好那一天了嗎？
Are you prepared for that day?
現在還來得及。
There is still time — for now.
但號筒一響，
But once the trumpet sounds,
就不再有悔改的機會了。
there will be no more opportunity to repent.
結語
Conclusion
天堂不是自然的去處，
Heaven is not a natural destination.
而是順服福音的結果。
It is the result of obedience to the gospel.
人必須：
One must:
聽道
Hear the word相信
Believe悔改
Repent承認基督
Confess Christ受洗，得罪赦免
Be baptized for the remission of sins並且忠心至死
And remain faithful unto death
「你務要至死忠心，我就賜給你那生命的冠冕。」
“Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
——《啟示錄》2:10 / Revelation 2:10
