我们常听到这样一句话:“眼见为实”,但我们能将信仰建立在我们所见的基础上吗?
在这个视频中,魏泰德牧师谈到了末日大欺骗,分享了如何让我们渡过难关并坚持真理的方法。
在美术中,特别是在素描和绘画中,有一种我们称之为“视觉幻象”的现象。
例如,德国著名艺术家埃德加·穆勒(Edgar Mueller)的“冰壑”(Crevasse)似乎显示了人行道上巨大的冰川落差,有个人在悬崖边摇摇欲坠。虽然这副画只是画在一个完全平坦的表面上,但它给人一种三维立体的错觉。
事实上,错觉带来的艺术效果是惊人的。但为了使它们发挥作用,必须先扭曲现实,从人们的角度来看才显得真实立体。
《圣经》箴言第14章12节说:“有一条路人以为正,至终成为死亡之路。”(箴14:12)我们人类很容易认为自己所知道的是正确的,却很少知道,我们经常是扭曲事实的受害者。
然而,箴言9章10节提醒我们“敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端,认识至圣者便是聪明”(箴9:10)但是,我们怎样才能认识“至圣者”上帝呢?
在约翰福音17章3节,耶稣说:“认识祢独一的真神,并且认识祢所差来的耶稣基督,这就是永生。”(约17:3)在第8节祂又提到“因为祢所赐给我的道,我已经赐给他们。他们也领受了,又确实知道,我是从祢出来的,并且信祢差了我来。”(约17:8)
耶稣在第14节继续说:“我已将祢的道赐给他们,世界又恨他们;因为他们不属世界,正如我不属世界一样。”(约17:14)在第17节中,祂祷告说:“求祢用真理使他们成圣,祢的道就是真理。”(约17:14)
最后,在第20和21节中,耶稣为世人祷告说:“我不但为这些人祈求,也为那些因他们的话信我的人祈求,使他们都合而为一……”(约17:20-21)正如我们所看到的,上帝的道是耶稣祷告的主题。
此外,根据提摩太后书3章16、17节中“圣经都是上帝所默示的(或作‘凡上帝所默示的圣经’),于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的,叫属上帝的人得以完全,预备行各样的善事。”(提后3:16-17)
现在,当我们在末了接近永恒时,我们将面临大欺骗:谬误被当作真理,而真理却被谴责为假道。因此,我们需要做好准备,坚定地捍卫上帝的诫命。
愿我们带着对上帝圣言的信心,在圣灵的指引下,每天通过祷告和阅读《圣经》与上帝建立关系。
永远忠心于祂,因为祂对你的未来有大计划。

Delusion in the Last Days [How Can We Stand For Truth with God?] – Pastor Wilson
We often hear the saying, “to see is to believe.” But can we establish our beliefs on what we see?
In this episode, Pastor Ted Wilson talks about the great delusion of the end time. He shares how we can survive it and stand for truth.
In art, specifically in drawings and paintings, there is what we call “optical illusion.”
For instance, the famous German artist Edgar Mueller’s “Crevasse” seems to show a vast glacial drop in the pavement. Then, there is a person dangerously teetering on the edge of the precipice. Though the artwork is merely on a completely flat surface, it gives an illusion of three dimensions.
Indeed, illusions are amazing. But for them to work, they must distort reality to appear realistic from the person’s viewpoint.
In relation, Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” We, humans, tend to think we know what is right. Little do we know we are often victims of distorted truths.
However, Proverbs 9:10 reminds us that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Also, “the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” But how can we have the “Holy One” and know God?
In John 17:3, Jesus mentioned, “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom You have sent.” In verse 8, He continued, “For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from you; and they have believed that You sent Me.”
Continuing in verse 14, Jesus spoke, “I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” In verse 17, He prayed, “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.”
Finally, in verses 20 and 21, Jesus prayed for us. “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one…” As we can see, God’s Word is the theme of Jesus’ prayer.
Moreover, according to 2 Timothy 3:16, 17, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.” It is “profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Now, as we near the end of time approaching eternity, we will face great deceptions. An error will be presented as truth, and the truth will be condemned as an error. As such, we need to be prepared. We have to stand firm in defense of God’s commandments.
With faith in God’s Word, let us connect with Him daily through prayer and reading of the Scriptures, guided by the Holy Spirit.
