4230. 旧教会结束, 新教会即将开始之时, 就是最后审判之时. 这就是圣言中 “最后的审判”, 以及 “人子降临” 所指的时候 (参看2117-2133, 3353, 4057节).

现在所论述的主题正是这降临, 就是门徒问主时所提到的降临:

请告诉我们, 什么时候有这些事? 你降临和今世的完结, 有什么预兆呢? (马太福音 24:3)

因此, 现在要解释的是主关于祂的降临和今世完结, 也就是最后审判的预言.

不过, 本章开头这几节仅涵盖32-35节的内容, 这几节经文如下:

你们可以从无花果树学个比方: 当树枝发嫩长叶的时候, 你们就知道夏天近了. 这样, 你们看见这一切的事, 也该知道人子近了, 正在门口了. 我实在告诉你们: 这世代还没有过去, 这些事都要成就. 天地要废去, 我的话却不能废去. (马太福音 24:32-35)

这些话的内义如下.

Isaiah 10:26-34

26 Yahweh of Armies will stir up a scourge against him, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb. His rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up like he did against Egypt.

27 It will happen in that day, that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.

28 He has come to Aiath. He has passed through Migron. At Michmash he stores his baggage.

29 They have gone over the pass. They have taken up their lodging at Geba. Ramah trembles. Gibeah of Saul has fled.

30 Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim! Listen, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!

31 Madmenah is a fugitive. The inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.

32 This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

33 Behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, will lop the boughs with terror. The tall will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.

34 He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
