帖撒羅尼迦前書 4:16
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
因為主必親自從天降臨,有呼叫的聲音和天使長的聲音,又有神的號吹響;那在基督裡死了的人必先復活。
猶大書 1:9
But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
天使長米迦勒為摩西的屍首與魔鬼爭辯的時候,尚且不敢用毀謗的話罪責他,只說:「主責備你吧!」
啟示錄 13:1
- 18
The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.
People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?"
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.
It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.
It was given power to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.
All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast-all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
Whoever has ears, let them hear.
"If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed." This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God's people.
Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.
It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.
And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people.
Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,
so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.
我又看見一個獸從海中上來,有十角七頭,在十角上戴著十個冠冕,七頭上有褻瀆的名號。
我所看見的獸,形狀像豹,腳像熊的腳,口像獅子的口。那龍將自己的能力、座位、和大權柄都給了他。
我看見獸的七頭中,有一個似乎受了死傷,那死傷卻醫好了。全地的人都希奇跟從那獸,
又拜那龍,因為他將自己的權柄給了獸,也拜獸,說:「誰能比這獸,誰能與他交戰呢?」
又賜給他說誇大褻瀆話的口,又有權柄賜給他,可以任意而行四十二個月。
獸就開口向神說褻瀆的話,褻瀆神的名並他的帳幕,以及那些住在天上的。
又任憑他與聖徒爭戰,並且得勝;也把權柄賜給他,制伏各族、各民、各方、各國。
凡住在地上、名字從創世以來沒有記在被殺之羔羊生命冊上的人,都要拜他。
凡有耳的,就應當聽!
擄掠人的,必被擄掠;用刀殺人的,必被刀殺。聖徒的忍耐和信心就是在此。
我又看見另有一個獸從地中上來有兩角如同羊羔,說話好像龍。
他在頭一個獸面前,施行頭一個獸所有的權柄,並且叫地和住在地上的人拜那死傷醫好的頭一個獸。
又行大奇事,甚至在人面前,叫火從天降在地上。
他因賜給他權柄在獸面前能行奇事,就迷惑住在地上的人,說:「要給那受刀傷還活著的獸作個像。」
又有權柄賜給他,叫獸像有生氣,並且能說話,又叫所有不拜獸像的人都被殺害。
他又叫眾人,無論大小、貧富、自主的、為奴的,都在右手上或是在額上受一個印記。
除了那受印記、有了獸名或有獸名數目的,都不得作買賣。
在這裡有智慧:凡有聰明的,可以算計獸的數目;因為這是人的數目,他的數目是六百六十六。

帖撒羅尼迦前書 4:13
- 18
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Therefore encourage one another with these words.
論到睡了的人,我們不願意弟兄們不知道,恐怕你們憂傷,像那些沒有指望的人一樣。
我們若信耶穌死而復活了,那已經在耶穌裡睡了的人,神也必將他與耶穌一同帶來。
我們現在照主的話告訴你們一件事:我們這活著還存留到主降臨的人,斷不能在那已經睡了的人之先。
因為主必親自從天降臨,有呼叫的聲音和天使長的聲音,又有神的號吹響;那在基督裡死了的人必先復活。
以後我們這活著還存留的人必和他們一同被提到雲裡,在空中與主相遇。這樣,我們就要和主永遠同在。
所以,你們當用這些話彼此勸慰。
約翰一書 4:1
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
親愛的弟兄啊,一切的靈,你們不可都信,總要試驗那些靈是出於神的不是,因為世上有許多假先知已經出來了。
