千禧年
The Millennium

千禧年間世上的居民
People on the Earth during the Millennium

● 千禧年間，誰會住在世上？

• Who will be on the earth during the Millennium ?

耶穌基督第二次來臨時，世上會開始一千年的和平、友愛和喜悅的日子。

A thousand years of peace, love, and joy will begin on the earth at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

這一千年就稱為千禧年。

This thousand-year period is called the Millennium.

經文和眾先知都幫助我們了解在千禧年間世上的生活會是什麼狀況。

The scriptures and the prophets help us understand what it will be like to live on the earth during the Millennium .

由於惡人在救主第二次來臨時被毀滅了，因此千禧年開始時，住在世上的只有義人。

Because of the destruction of the wicked at the Savior’s Second Coming, only righteous people will live on the earth at the beginning of the Millennium.

他們就是那些生活良善且誠實的人。

They will be those who have lived virtuous and honest lives.

這些人將繼承中榮或高榮國度。

These people will inherit either the terrestrial or celestial kingdom .

在千禧年間，凡人仍在世上生活，他們將像我們現在一樣，繼續生養兒女（見教約45：58）。

During the Millennium, mortals will still live on earth, and they will continue to have children as we do now (see D&C 45:58).

約瑟．斯密說，不朽的人物將經常造訪地球。

Joseph Smith said that immortal beings will frequently visit the earth .

這些復活的人物會協助管理大地及其他的工作。（見先知約瑟．斯密的教訓，第268 頁。）

These resurrected beings will help with the government and other Work. (See Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. Joseph Fielding Smith [1976], 268.)

人們仍有自己的選擇權，許多人暫時仍保有原來的宗教和觀念。

People will still have their agency, and for a time many will be free to continue with their religions and ideas.

但是，每個人最後都將承認耶穌基督是救主。

Eventually everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is the Savior .

在千禧年間，耶穌會「親自在大地上統治」（信條第10 條）。

During the Millennium, Jesus will “reign personally upon the earth” (Articles of Faith 1:10).

約瑟．斯密說，耶穌「會統治聖徒，並下來給予指示」（總會會長的教訓：約瑟．斯密，第258 頁）。

Joseph Smith explained that Jesus will “reign over the Saints and come down and instruct” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 258) .

教會在千禧年間的事工
The Work of the Church during the Millennium

● 千禧年間有哪兩大事工要做？

• What are the two great works that will be done during the Millennium ?

本教會的教友在千禧年間有兩大事工要做：聖殿事工和傳道事工。

There will be two great works for members of the Church during the Millennium: temple work and missionary work.

與聖殿事工相關的教儀都是超升所必要的。

Temple work involves the ordinances that are necessary for exaltation.

這些教儀包括洗禮、聖靈恩賜的按手禮，以及聖殿教儀──恩道門、聖殿婚姻、家庭單位的印證。

These include baptism, the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost, and the temple ordinances—the endowment, temple marriage, and the sealing together of family units .

很多人沒有接受這些教儀就去世了。

Many people have died without receiving these ordinances.

在世上的人就必須為他們執行這些教儀。

People on the earth must perform these ordinances for them.

這項工作目前正在主的聖殿中進行。

This work is now being done in the temples of the Lord.

在千禧年開始前要做的工作太多了，所以會在千禧年期間完成。

There is too much work to finish before the Millennium begins, so it will be completed during that time.

復活的人物會來幫助我們糾正在搜尋已逝祖先的工作上所犯的錯誤。

Resurrected beings will help us correct the mistakes we have made in doing research concerning our dead ancestors.

他們也會幫助我們找尋需要完成紀錄的資料。（參閱約瑟．斐亭．斯密，救恩的教義，第二卷，第158 頁）

They will also help us find the information we need to complete our records. (See Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. [1954–56], 2:167, 251–52.)

千禧年間要做的另一件大事就是傳道事工。

The other great work during the Millennium will be missionary work.

福音將大力傳播給所有的人。

The gospel will be taught with great power to all people .

到最後，不再需要教導任何人關於福音的首要原則，因為「他們從最小的到至大的都必認識我。……這是耶和華說的」（耶利米書31：34）。

Eventually there will be no need to teach others the first principles of the gospel because “they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord” ( Jeremiah 31:34) .

● 我們現在要如何為千禧年的事工做好準備？

• How can we prepare now for work in the Millennium ?

千禧年間的情況
Conditions during the Millennium

● 千禧年間的生活如何不同於現今在世上的生活？

• In what ways will life during the Millennium be different from life on the earth now ?

先知約瑟．斯密教導說，在千禧年間，「大地會被更新且獲得其樂園的榮耀」（信條第10 條）。

The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that during the Millennium, “the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory” (Articles of Faith 1:10) .

撒但被捆綁
Satan Bound

千禧年間，撒但將被捆綁，也就是說，他將沒有力量去誘惑那時候活著的人（見教約101：28）。

During the Millennium, Satan will be bound.

This means he will not have power to tempt those who are living at that time (see D&C 101:28).

「兒女將無罪成長而獲得救恩」（教約45：58）。

The “children shall grow up without sin unto salvation” (D&C 45:58).

「由於〔主的〕人民的正義，撒但沒有力量；因此，他多年不得釋放；因為人民生活正義，而且由以色列聖者統治，撒但無力控制人心」（尼腓一書22：26）。

“Because of the righteousness of [the Lord’s] people, Satan has no power; wherefore, he cannot be loosed for the space of many years; for he hath no power over the hearts of the people, for they dwell in righteousness, and the Holy One of Israel reigneth” (1 Nephi 22:26) .

世界和平
Peace on the Earth

千禧年間將沒有戰爭。

During the Millennium, there will be no war.

人們將和平融洽地住在一起。

People will live in peace and harmony together.

用來作戰的物品都會被轉為和平用途。

Things that have been used for war will be turned to useful purposes.

「他們要將刀打成犁頭，把槍打成鐮刀。

“They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks

這國不舉刀攻擊那國；他們也不再學習戰事」（以賽亞書2：4；亦見以賽亞書11：6-7；教約101：26）。

: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more” (Isaiah 2:4; see also Isaiah 11:6–7; D&C 101:26) .

正義的政權
Righteous Government

約翰．泰來會長教導說：「主將成為大地全境的君王，全人類會真的接受祂統治，諸天之下的各國都將承認祂的權柄，向其權杖屈身。

President John Taylor taught: “The Lord will be king over all the earth, and all mankind literally under his sovereignty, and every nation under the heavens will have to acknowledge his authority, and bow to his scepter.

正義事奉祂的人將能夠與神、與耶穌溝通，享有天使的施助，也將知道過去、現在及未來的事；其他那些可能不完全服從祂的律法，也不完全接受其聖約教導的人，到時候都必全然服從於祂的政體。

Those who serve him in righteousness will have communications with God, and with Jesus; will have the ministering of angels, and will know the past, the present, and the future; and other people, who may not yield full obedience to his laws, nor be fully instructed in his covenants, will, nevertheless, have to yield full obedience to his government.

因為大地將由神統治，祂將施行祂的律法，命令世上萬國都服從祂，祂具有統治他們的合法權利」（總會會長的教訓：約翰．泰來，第225 頁）。

For it will be the reign of God upon the earth, and he will enforce his laws, and command that obedience from the nations of the world which is legitimately his right” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor [2001], 225) .

沒有死亡
No Death

千禧年間，不會有我們所知道的死亡。

During the Millennium, there will be no death as we know it.

人活到老年時，不會死亡，也不會被埋葬，反而會「在眨眼之間」從必死的狀態立即轉成為不朽的狀態。（見教約63：51；101：29-31。）

When people have lived to an old age, they will not die and be buried .

Instead, they will be changed from their mortal condition to an immortal condition in “the twinkling of an eye.” (See D&C 63:51; 101:29–31.)

顯露萬事
All Things Revealed

有些真理還沒有向我們顯示。

Some truths have not been revealed to us.

所有的事情都會在千禧年間顯露出來。

All things will be revealed during the Millennium.

主說，祂會「顯露一切事──過去的事、無人知道的隱密事、有關大地、大地是用什麼造的，大地的目的和結局的事──最寶貴的事、在上的事、在下的事、地裡的事、地上的事和天上的事」（教約101：32-34）。

The Lord said He will “reveal all things—things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof—things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven” (D&C 101:32–34) .

千禧年的其他活動
Other Millennial Activities

在很多方面，生活會和現在大致相同，差別在於每件事都會在正義中完成。

In many ways, life will be much as it is now, except that everything will be done in righteousness.

人們照舊吃、喝及穿衣。（見總會會長的教訓：百翰．楊，第330 頁。）

People will eat and drink and will wear clothing. (See Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young [1997], 333.)

人們將繼續耕種、收成和建造房屋（見以賽亞65：21）。

People will continue to plant and harvest crops and build houses (see Isaiah 65:21) .

千禧年後的最後一戰
One Final Struggle after the Millennium

● 大地最後的命運為何？

• What will be the final destiny of the earth ?

1,000 年結束時，撒但將被釋放一段短時期。

At the end of the 1,000 years, Satan will be set free for a short time .

有些人會叛離天父。

Some people will turn away from Heavenly Father.

撒但將集合他的軍隊，米迦勒（亞當）則會集結天軍。

Satan will gather his armies, and Michael (Adam) will gather the hosts of heaven.

在這次大戰中，撒但和他的徒眾將永遠被趕出去。

In this great struggle, Satan and his followers will be cast out forever .

大地將轉變成高榮國度。（見教約29：22-29；88：17-20，110-115。）

The earth will be changed into a celestial kingdom. (See D&C 29:22–29; 88:17–20, 110–15.)

給教師：千禧年這個主題有時候會讓人引發在經文或近代先知教導中所沒有的臆測。

For teachers: The subject of the Millennium sometimes leads people to speculate about ideas that are not found in the scriptures or the teachings of latter-day prophets.

你在上課時，要謹慎避免這樣的臆測。

As you guide this lesson, be careful to avoid such speculation .
