The Throne of the Kingdom Ch 4 第四章 神国的宝座 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 我立刻被圣灵感动，见有一个宝座安置在天上，又有一位坐在宝座上。 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 看那坐著的，好像碧玉和红宝石；又有虹围著宝座，好像绿宝石

The 7 Sealed Scroll七本封着的书卷 启示录5：1：And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 我看 见坐宝座的右手中有书卷，里外都写著字，用七 印封严了。 启示录5：5：And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 长老中有一位对我说：”不要哭！看哪，犹大支派中的狮子，大卫的根，他已得胜，能以展开那书卷，揭开那七印。” 启示录5：6：And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 我又看见宝座与四活物，并长老之中有羔羊站立，像是被杀过的，有七角七眼，就是神的七灵，奉差遣往普天下去的。

The Two Women of Revelation – The Harlot 启示录里的两个女人—淫妇 Rev 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: Rev 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Rev 18:4-5 Rev 17:1 拿著七碗的七位天使中，有一位前来对我说：「你到这里来，我将坐在众水上的大淫妇所要受的刑罚指给你看。 Rev 17:2 地上的君王与他行淫，住在地上的人喝醉了他淫乱的 。 Rev 17:5 在他额上有名写著说：「奥秘哉！大巴比伦，作世上的淫妇和一切可憎之物的母。」 Rev 18:4 我又听见从天上有声音说：我的民哪，你们要从那城出来，免得与他一同有罪，受他所受的灾殃； Rev 18:5 因他的罪恶滔天；他的不义神已经想起来了。

The Two Women of Revelation – The Bride 启示录里的两个女人—新妇 Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. Rev 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. Rev 21:9 拿著七个金碗、盛满末後七灾的七位天使中，有一位来对我说：「你到这里来，我要将新妇，就是羔羊的妻，指给你看。」 Rev 19:7 我们要欢喜快乐，将荣耀归给他。因为，羔羊婚娶的时候到了；新妇也自己预备好了， Rev 19:8 就蒙恩得穿光明洁白的细麻衣。（这细麻衣就是圣徒所行的义。）

Judgment on Babylon and world Ch 17-19 启示录17-19章 给巴比伦和世界的审判 1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 拿著七碗的七位天使中，有一位前来对我说：「你到这里来，我将坐在众水上的大淫妇所要受的刑罚指给你看。 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 地上的君王与他行淫，住在地上的人喝醉了他淫乱的酒。」

The Harlot is Judged Rev 18-19 启示录18-19章 淫妇被审判 1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 此後，我听见好像群众在天上大声说：哈利路亚（就是要赞美耶和华的意思）！救恩、荣耀、权能都属乎我们的神！ 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 他的判断是真实公义的；因他判断了那用淫行败坏世界的大淫妇，并且向淫妇讨流仆人血的罪，给他们伸冤。

The Faithful Reign 1000 with Christ 虔诚的人与基督一同作王千年 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 我又看见几个宝座，也有坐在上面的，并有审判的权柄赐给他们。我又看见那些因为给耶稣作见证，并为神之道被斩者的灵魂，和那没有拜过兽与兽像，也没有在额上和手上受过他印记之人的灵魂，他们都复活了，与基督一同作王一千年。 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 这是头一次的复活。（其余的死人还没有复活，直等到那一千年完了。） 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 在头一次复活有分的有福了，圣洁了！第二次的死在他们身上没有权柄。他们必作神和基督的祭司，并要与基督一同作王一千年。

The 1st and 2nd Resurrection Rev 20:4-5 启示录20：4-5 头一次和第二次的复活 Jesus Christ Returns 耶稣基督复临 The 1st Resurrection and Judgment第一次复活和审判 1000 year Kingdom 神国的一千年 The 2nd Resurrection of those who died during the Kingdom在神国里死了的人的第二次复活

John’s final words – Rev 22:20 约翰最后的话语—启示录22：20 20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 20 证明这事的说：「是了，我必快来 ！阿们！主耶稣啊，我愿你来！

Revelation – the follow-up to Daniel 7 启示录—但以理书第七章的延伸 19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, 那时我愿知道第四兽的真情， 20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth 头有十角和那另长的一角，在这角前有三角被他打落。这角有眼，有说夸大话的口 21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 我观看，见这角与圣民争战，胜了他们。 22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom 直到亘古常在者来给至高者的圣民伸冤，圣民得国的时候就到了
