  1️⃣ 「日子必減少」到底在說什麼？ What does “those days shall be shortened” actually mean? 中文： 這裡的「必減少」，不是指一天變成20小時或宇宙時間被改變，而是指 整個災難持續的總時間被神「截短、縮短」 ，不讓那段災難拖得更久。 （馬太福音 24:21–22） English: Here, “shall be shortened” does not mean that each day had fewer hours or that cosmic time changed, but that  God cut off / curtailed the overall duration of the tribulation , preventing it from dragging on longer. (Matthew 24:21–22) 中文： 原文「必減少」的字（ἐκολοβώθησαν  ekolobōthēsan ）有「截斷、砍短」的意思，用在這裡就是指 神縮短災難持續的時間 。 English: The Greek verb translated “shall be shortened” (ἐκολοβώθησαν,  ekolobōthēsan ) literally means “to cut short” or “curtail,” indicating that  God limited the length of the tribulation period . （這一段是根據原文字義與保守派解經立場整理） 2️⃣ AD 70 耶路撒冷被毀：大約持續多久？ How long did the A.D. 70 destruction of Jerusalem last? 中文： 羅馬將軍提多正式圍攻耶路撒冷，大約是從主後70年4月13日到9月8日，約五個月左右，約瑟夫稱之為「將近六個月」。 （約瑟夫《猶太戰史》5卷序；現代對「主後70年圍城」的歷史重建）  Wikipedia +1 English: General Titus’ formal siege of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 ran from about...

  **1. Did each apostle have all nine spiritual gifts? 每位使徒是否都具備哥林多前書12章列出的九種屬靈恩賜？** T:  I would say it is likely that each apostle possessed all nine spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12. 我會說，每位使徒很可能都具備哥林多前書第十二章列出的九種屬靈恩賜。 T:  They all were baptized with the Holy Spirit. 他們都領受了聖靈的洗。 T:  Paul was able to bestow all these gifts by the laying on of hands, as seen in 1 Corinthians 1:7. 保羅能按手將這些恩賜賜給人，如哥林多前書1:7所示。 T:  This does not mean every Christian received a gift, but only those on whom Paul laid his hands. 這並不表示每位基督徒都有恩賜，而是保羅按手在誰身上，誰就領受。 1 Co 1:7  “So that ye come behind in no gift…” 林前1:7 「在恩賜上沒有一樣不及人的⋯⋯」 T:  It also seems all apostles could bestow gifts, since Paul speaks of “the signs of an apostle” in 2 Corinthians 12:12. 看來所有使徒都能賜恩賜，因為保羅在哥林多後書12:12提到「使徒的憑據」。 T:  And Paul stated he was “not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles” (2 Cor 11:5). 保羅也說自己「一點不在那些超等使徒以下」（林後11:5）。 **2. Who are the “most eminent apostles”? 那些「最顯要的使徒」指的是誰？** J: ...

24:37 “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.” 「因為人子的來臨，就像挪亞的日子一樣。」 The pattern in Noah’s time explains the meaning of the following verses. 挪亞時代的模式決定接下來經文的語義。 In Noah’s day, the wicked were destroyed, and the righteous were preserved alive. 在挪亞的日子，惡人被毀滅，義人被保存存活。 24:38 “For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage…” 「在洪水以前，人照常吃喝、嫁娶……」 Jesus does not condemn daily life activities; He condemns ignoring eternity. 耶穌不是責備日常事務，而是責備忽視永恆。 24:39 “And they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away…” 「直到洪水來，把他們全都帶去，他們才明白……」 “Took them all away” means the wicked were removed in judgment. 「把他們帶去」指惡人被帶走接受審判。 Those who were left—Noah and his family—were the ones preserved for life. 被留下的——挪亞一家——是被保存、得以存活的人。 24:40 “Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.” 「那時兩個人在田裡，取去一個，撇下一個。」 “Taken” (paralambanetai) follows Noah’s pattern: taken = removed in judgment. 「取去」（parala...

Why Did Mary and Joseph Not Call Jesus “Immanuel”?   為什麼瑪麗和約瑟夫不稱耶穌為 “ 以馬內利 ” ？ By ERIC LYONS at https://apologeticspress.org/why-did-mary-and-joseph-not-call-jesus-immanuel-3591/ Q. Why Did Mary and Joseph Not Call Jesus “Immanuel”? A. Approximately 700 years before the birth of the promised Messiah, Isaiah prophesied about a virgin who would “conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel” (7:14). Years later, the apostle Matthew referred to Isaiah’s prophecy, specifying once again that, “they shall call His name Immanuel” (1:22-23). Many have wondered why, if the promised Son of Mary was supposed to be called “Immanuel,” this name is never used in the New Testament aside from Matthew’s quotation of Isaiah 7:14. Why do we never read of Mary, Joseph, John the Baptizer, Peter, Paul, or others calling the Messiah “Immanuel”? Thankfully, as so often is the case with God’s Word, the Bible is its own (and best!) commentary. To better understand what Isaiah meant by ...

Mt 18:17-20 Mat 18:17   “And if he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, he is to be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.  若是不聽他們，就告訴教會；若是不聽教會，就看他像外邦人和稅吏一樣。   👄From John C. ( https://www.fourseas-chinese.org/blank-6 ) 若这位犯错的弟兄仍然不听他们的，另一方就把这事情告诉教会。这 是第三步。若他连教会的话也不听，那教会就当看他像外邦人和税吏一 样，即把他当做教外的人 ( 参林前 5:11) 。这是第四步。这一步的 目的是要激发他的良知，让他知道若他不认罪悔改，其他的弟兄们是不可能与他有属灵的相交。 但是，如果有一些弟兄们继续与他来往，教会所定的规定就不能生效了。若犯错的弟兄真心地认罪悔改，教会就要接纳他 ( 参林后 2:6,7) 。   👄From Denny Petrillo (WVBS course notes) : He is no longer considered to be a part of the church. He is an outsider and no longer part of the family. How does the church feel about these? Do they isolate themselves from him? No! They try to win him back to Christ. Just because this person is no longer recognized as a part of the church, he still needs salvation.  他不再被認為是教會的一員。 他是個局外人，不再是這個家庭的一員了。 教會對這些有什麼感覺？ 他們把自己和他隔絕嗎？ 不是的！ 他們試圖讓他回轉到基督身邊。 僅僅因為這個人不再被認定為...
