主會在末世收回以色列人──世界會被火焚燒──世人必須跟隨基督才可避免硫磺火湖。約主前五四四年至四二一年。

The Lord will recover Israel in the last days—The world will be burned with fire—Men must follow Christ to avoid the lake of fire and brimstone. About 544–421 B.C.

1 現在看啊，我的弟兄們，我對你們說過我要預言，看啊，這就是我的預言：^ａ徐納斯這位先知所說的關於以色列家族的事一定會發生；他在其中將他們比作一棵園生橄欖樹。

1 And now, behold, my brethren, as I said unto you that I would prophesy, behold, this is my prophecy—that the things which this prophet ^aZenos spake, concerning the house of Israel, in the which he likened them unto a tame ^bolive tree, must surely come to pass.

2 祂要再著手第二次^ａ收回祂人民的日子，是的，就是主的^ｂ僕人最後一次藉祂的^ｃ大能，^ｄ培植與修剪^ｅ葡萄園的日子；隨後^ｆ末期很快就來到。

2 And the day that he shall set his hand again the second time to^arecover his people, is the day, yea, even the last time, that the^bservants of the Lord shall go forth in his ^cpower, to ^dnourish and prune his ^evineyard; and after that the ^fend soon cometh.

3 那些在葡萄園努力工作的，何等蒙福；那些將被丟進屬於自己的地方的，何等有禍！這世界必被火^ａ焚燒。

3 And how ^ablessed are they who have labored ^bdiligently in his vineyard; and how ^ccursed are they who shall be cast out into their own place! And the ^dworld shall be ^eburned with fire.

4 神對我們多麼慈悲！祂記得^ａ以色列家族，不論是根或枝；祂的^ｂ手整天都向他們伸出，但他們是一個^ｃ倔強而好辯的民族；凡不硬起心的，都必在神國中得救。

4 And how merciful is our God unto us, for he remembereth the house of ^aIsrael, both roots and branches; and he stretches forth his ^bhands unto them all the day long; and they are a ^cstiffneckedand a gainsaying people; but as many as will not harden their hearts shall be saved in the kingdom of God.

5 因此，我心愛的弟兄們，我以鄭重的言詞懇求你們，你們要悔改，全心全意前來，像神忠於你們一樣^ａ忠於祂。當祂慈悲的^ｂ臂膀在白日的光中伸向你們時，不要硬起心來。

5 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I beseech of you in words of soberness that ye would repent, and come with full purpose of heart, and ^acleave unto God as he cleaveth unto you. And while his^barm of mercy is extended towards you in the light of the day, harden not your hearts.

6 是的，今天，只要你們願意聽祂的聲音，不要硬起心來；你們何必要^ａ死呢？

6 Yea, today, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts; for why will ye ^adie?

7 因為看啊，你們整天被神美好的話滋養後，還要結出壞果子，被^ａ砍下來丟在火裡嗎？

7 For behold, after ye have been nourished by the good ^aword of God all the day long, will ye bring forth evil fruit, that ye must be^bhewn down and cast into the fire?

8 看啊，你們要拒絕這些話嗎？你們要拒絕先知的話嗎？這麼多先知說過基督的事後，你們還要拒絕這一切關於基督的話，並且否認基督美好的話、否認神的大能與^ａ聖靈的恩賜、抵擋神聖之靈、嘲笑那為你們預備的偉大救贖計畫嗎？

8 Behold, will ye reject these words? Will ye reject the words of the ^aprophets; and will ye reject all the words which have been spoken concerning Christ, after so many have spoken concerning him; and ^bdeny the good word of Christ, and the power of God, and the ^cgift of the Holy Ghost, and quench the Holy Spirit, and make a^dmock of the great plan of redemption, which hath been laid for you?

9 難道你們不知道如果這麼做，基督救贖與復活的大能，會使你們滿懷羞愧與可怕的^ａ罪疚站在神的^ｂ審判欄前？

9 Know ye not that if ye will do these things, that the power of the redemption and the resurrection, which is in Christ, will bring you to stand with ^ashame and ^bawful ^cguilt before the bar of God?

10 因任何人都無法拒絕公道，所以按照^ａ公道的力量，你們一定要進入硫磺^ｂ火湖去，那裡的火永遠不滅，煙永永遠遠上騰，那硫磺火湖就是^ｃ無盡的^ｄ痛苦。

10 And according to the power of ^ajustice, for justice cannot be denied, ye must go away into that ^blake of fire and brimstone, whose flames are unquenchable, and whose smoke ascendeth up forever and ever, which lake of fire and brimstone is ^cendless^dtorment.

11 我心愛的弟兄們，既然如此，悔改吧！走進那^ａ窄門，繼續行走在小路上，直到你們獲得永生。

11 O then, my beloved brethren, repent ye, and enter in at the^astrait gate, and ^bcontinue in the way which is narrow, until ye shall obtain eternal life.

12 ^ａ聰明點吧，我還能多說什麼呢？

12 O be ^awise; what can I say more?

13 最後，我向你們告別，直到在神令人歡欣的審判欄前再與你們相會；那審判欄令惡人^ａ萬分懼怕。阿們。

13 Finally, I bid you farewell, until I shall meet you before the^apleasing bar of God, which bar striketh the wicked with ^bawfuldread and fear. Amen.
