當主日,我被聖靈感動,聽見在我後面有大聲音如吹號,說:

12
我轉過身來,要看是誰發聲與我說話;既轉過來,就看見七個金燈臺。
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,
13
燈臺中間有一位好像人子,身穿長衣,直垂到腳,胸間束著金帶。
and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest.
14
他的頭與髮皆白,如白羊毛,如雪;眼目如同火焰;
The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire,
15
腳好像在爐中鍛鍊光明的銅;聲音如同眾水的聲音。
his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.
16
他右手拿著七星,從他口中出來一把兩刃的利劍;面貌如同烈日放光。
In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.
17
我一看見,就仆倒在他腳前,像死了一樣。他用右手按著我,說:不要懼怕!我是首先的,我是末後的,
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, Fear not, I am the first and the last,
18
又是那存活的;我曾死過,現在又活了,直活到永永遠遠;並且拿著死亡和陰間的鑰匙。
and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.
19
所以你要把所看見的,和現在的事,並將來必成的事,都寫出來。
Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this.
20
論到你所看見、在我右手中的七星和七個金燈臺的奧祕,那七星就是七個教會的使者,七燈臺就是七個教會。
As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

📖 啟示錄第 1 章背後的知識

啟示錄是新約最後一卷,作者是使徒約翰。約翰在晚年被放逐到拔摩島(Patmos),在那裡看見異象,寫下這卷書。第 1 章是整卷書的「序言」與「第一個異象」,包含三個重點:約翰的問候(1-8 節)、約翰在拔摩島的異象(9-17 節)、基督的自我啟示(17-20 節)。

啟示錄的文體是「啟示文學」(apocalyptic literature),充滿象徵、數字、異象。它不是「密碼書」,而是「鼓勵書」——寫給當時受羅馬帝國逼迫的七個教會,鼓勵他們在苦難中堅守信仰,因為基督已經得勝。

⚠️ 常見誤解

❌「啟示錄是密碼,只有專家能解」 → 不是。啟示錄是「鼓勵書」,用象徵語言傳達「基督得勝」的信息。數字(七、十二)多是象徵,不是密碼。
❌「啟示錄只講末日」 → 不只是末日,也講「現在」——當時七個教會的處境,以及基督對教會的看顧。
❌「七個教會是虛構的」 → 不是。以弗所、士每拿、別迦摩、推雅推喇、撒狄、非拉鐵非、老底嘉,都是當時亞細亞真實的教會。
❌「約翰是啟示錄的作者?還是別人?」 → 傳統認為是使徒約翰。雖然有學者爭論,但教會傳統與內文都指向約翰。
❌「和合本和 ESV 意思不同」 → 意思相同,只是翻譯語言不同。和合本是中文,ESV 是英文標準版,都忠於原文。

🩺 使用時機與注意事項

✅ 適合:個人靈修、小組讀經、想學英文聖經的人、想理解啟示錄的人、想研究末世論的人。
⚠️ 注意:這個工具是「經文對照」,不是「解經書」。啟示錄的解釋請諮詢牧者或讀正統解經書。ESV 版權屬 Crossway,僅供個人閱讀使用。
