The end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober; and watch unto prayer。 — Be sober; be vigilant; because your adversary the devil; as a roaring lion; walketh about; seeking whom he may devour。 — Take heed to thyself; and keep thy soul diligently; lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen; and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life。 — The just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back; my soul shall have no pleasure in him。 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul。 What I say unto you I say unto all; Watch。 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea; I will help thee; yea; I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness。 I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand。 REV。 3:2。 I Pet。 4:7。 …I Pet。 5:8。 …Deut。 4:9。 …Heb。 10:38;39。 Mark 13:37。 Isa。 41:10;13。

难道他的慈爱永远穷尽吗(诗77:7) 他的慈爱永远长存(诗136:23)。耶和华不轻易发怒,并有丰盛的慈爱(民14:18)。有何 神象你,赦免罪孽,……不永远怀怒,喜爱施恩?必再怜悯我们,将我们的罪孽踏在脚下,又将我们的一切罪投于深海(弥7:18,19)。他便救了我们,并不是因我们自己所行的义,乃是照他的怜悯(多3:5)。 愿颂赞归于我们的主耶稣基督的父 神,就是发慈悲的父,赐各样安慰的 神。我们在一切患难中,他就安慰我们,叫我们能用 神所赐的安慰去安慰那遭各样患难的人(林后l:3,4)。 为要在 神的事上成为慈悲忠信的大祭司,为百姓的罪,献上挽回祭。他自己既然被试探而受苦,就能搭救被试探的人(来2:17,18)。 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? His mercy endureth for ever。 — The LORD is longsuffering; and of great mercy。 — Who is a God like unto thee; that pardoneth iniquity? 。。。 he re…aineth not his anger for ever; because he delighteth in mercy。 He will turn again; he will have passion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sin into the depths of the sea。 — Not by works of righteousness which we have done; but according to his mercy he saved us。 Blessed be God; even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; the Father of mercies; and the God of all fort; who forteth us in all our tribulation; that we may be able to fort them which are in any trouble; by the fort wherewith we ourselves are forted of God。 A merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God to make reconciliation for the sins of the people。 For in that himself hath suffered being tempted; he is able to succour them that are tempted。

罗得举目看见约旦河的全平原,都是滋润的,那地在耶和华未灭所多玛、蛾摩拉以先如同耶和华的园子。于是罗得选择约旦河的全平原(创13:10,11)。 那义人罗得(彼后1:7)。不要自欺, 神是轻慢不得的。人种的是什么,收的也是什么(加6:7)。你们要回想罗得的妻子(路17:32)。你们和不信的原不相配,不要同负一轭。义和不义有什么相交呢?光明和黑暗有什么相通呢? 神曾说:你们务要从他们中间出来,与他们分别,不要沾不洁净的物,我就收纳你们(林后6:14,17)。 你们不要与他们同伙。从前你们是暗昧的,但如今在主里面是光明的,行事为人就当像光明的子女。总要察验何为主所喜悦的事。那暗昧无益的事,不要与人同行,倒要责备行这事的人(弗5:7,8;10:11.)。 Lot lifted up his eyes; and beheld all the plain of Jordan; that it was well watered every where; before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah; even as the garden of the Lord。 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan。 Just Lot 。。。 that righteous man。 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth; that shall he also reap。 — Remember Lot's wife。 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteous…ness? and what munion hath light with darkness? Wherefore e out from among them; and be ye separate; saith the Lord; and touch not the unclean thing。 — Be not ye 。。。 partakers with them。 For ye were sometime darkness; but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: proving what is acceptable unto the Lord。 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness; but rather reprove them。 GEN。 13:10;11。 II Pet。 2:7;8。 Gal。 6:7。 …Luke 17:32。 II Cor。 6:14;17。 …Eph。 5:7;8;10;11。

耶和华照他所应许的与我同在,我就把他们赶出去(书12:14)。 主曾说:我总不撇下你,也不丢弃你。所以我们可以放胆说:主是帮助我的,我必不惧怕,人能把我怎么样呢(来13:5,6)?我要来说主耶和华大能的事,我单要提说你的公义(诗71:16)。公义的果效必是平安,公义的效验必是平稳,直到永远(赛32:17)。
所以要站稳了,用真理当作带子束腰,用公义当作护心镜遮胸,因我们并不是与属血气的争战,乃是与那些执政的、掌权的、管辖这幽暗世界的,以及天空属灵气的恶魔争战。所以,要拿起 神所赐的全副军装,好在磨难的日子抵挡仇敌,并且成就了一切,还能站立得住(弗6:14,12,13)。耶和华与你同在,你靠着你这能力去(士6:12,14)。 If so be the Lord will be with me; then I shall be able to drive them out; as the Lord said。 He hath said; I will never leave thee; nor forsake thee。 So that we may boldly say; The Lord is my helper; and I will not fear what man shall do unto me。 — I will go in the strength of the LORD GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness; even of thine only。 The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever。 Stand 。。。 having your loins girt about with truth; and having on the breast…plate of righteousness。 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood; but against principalities; against powers; against the rulers of the darkness of this world; against spiritual wickedness in high places。 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God; that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day; and having done all; to stand。 — The LORD is with thee; 。。。 Go in this thy might。 JOSH。 14:12。 Heb。 13:5;6。 …Psa。 71:16。 Isa。 32:17。 Eph。 6:14;12;13。 …Judg。 6:12;14。

圣哉,圣哉,圣哉,主 神全能者(启4:8)! 你是圣洁的,是用以色列的赞美为宝座的(诗22:3)。 神说:不要近前来,当把你脚上的鞋脱下来,因为你所站之地是圣地。我是你父亲的 神,是亚伯拉罕的 神,以撒的 神,雅各的 神。摩西蒙上脸,因为怕看 神(出3:5,6)。那圣者说:你们将谁比我,叫他与我相等呢(赛40:25)?我是耶和华你的 神,是以色列的圣者你的救主。惟有我是耶和华,除我以外没有救主(赛43:3,11)。那召你们的既是圣洁,你们在一切所行的事上也要圣洁。因为经上记着说:你们要圣洁,因为我是圣洁的(彼前1:15,16)。岂不知你们的身子就是圣灵的殿么?这圣灵是从神而来,住在你们里头的;并且你们不是自己的人(林前6:19)。我们是永生 神的殿,就如 神曾说:我要在他们中间居住,在他们中间来往。我要作他们的 神,他们要作我的子民(林后6:16)。二人若不同心,岂能同行呢(摩3:3)? Holy; holy; holy; Lord God Almighty。 Thou art holy; O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel。 — Draw not nigh hither; put off thy shoes from off thy feet; for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground 。。。 I am the God of thy father; the God of Abraham; the God ot Isaac; and the God of Jacob。 And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God。 — To whom then will ye liken me; or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One。 — I am the LORD thy God; the Holy One of Israel; thy Saviour。 I; even I; am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour。
As he which hath called you is holy; so be ye holy in all
manner of conver…sation; because it is written; Be ye holy; for I am holy。 — Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you; which ye have of God; and ye are not your own。 — Ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said; I will dwell in them; and walk in them; and I will be their God; and they shall be my people。 — Can two walk together; except they be agreed?

他们却强留他说:请你同我们住下吧(路24:29)! 看哪,我站在门外叩门,若有听见我声音就开门的,我要进到他那里去,我与他,他与我一同坐席(启3:20)。我所心爱的啊,求你告诉我,你在何处牧羊?晌午在何处使羊歇卧?我何必在你同伴的羊群旁边,好象蒙着脸的人呢(歌1:7)?我遇见我心所爱的。我拉住他,不容他走(歌3:4)。愿我的良人进入自己园里,吃他佳美的果子(歌4:16)。我进了我的园中(歌5:1)。我没 有对雅各的后裔说:你们寻求我是徒然的(赛45:19)。 我就常与你们同在,直到世界的末了(太28:20)。我总不撇下你,也不丢弃你(来13:5)。无论在哪里,有两三个人奉我的名聚会,那里就有我在他们中间(太18:20)。世人不再看见我,你们却看见我(约14:19)。 They constrained him; saying; Abide with us。 Behold; I stand at the door; and knock: if any man hear my voice; and open the door; I will e in to him; and will sup with him; and he with me。 — Tell me; O thou whom my soul loveth; where thou feedest; where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy panions? — I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him; and would not let him go。 Let my beloved e into his garden。 and eat his pleasant fruits。 — I am e into my garden。 — I said not unto the seed of Jacob; Seek ye me in vain。 Lo; I am with you alway; even unto the end of the world。 — I will never leave thee; nor forsake thee。 — Where two or three are gathered together in my name; there am I in the midst of them。 — The world
