This week, Pastor Ted Wilson concludes the discussion of Christ’s ministry in the heavenly sanctuary, specifically on what Jesus is doing in heaven right now, as part of the twenty-fourth fundamental belief of the Seventh-day Adventists.

本期视频，魏泰德牧师总结了关于基督在天上圣所的服务的讨论，特别是耶稣现在在天上做什么，这是基督复临安息日会第二十四条基本信仰的一部分。

The earthly sanctuary and its services pointed to Jesus, the Lamb of God. But when He came to earth and took the consequences of sin for us by dying on the cross, He became the fulfillment of the ceremonial offerings. Hence, there has been no need for animal sacrifices.

地上的圣所和它的服务指向耶稣————上帝的羔羊。但是，当祂来到世上，为我们承担了罪的后果，死在十字架上，祂成为了完成仪式的祭牲。因此，没有必要再进行动物祭祀。

After His resurrection and ascension, Christ began His ministry in the heavenly sanctuary as our High Priest, Advocate, and Intercessor. “It is Christ Who died and furthermore is also risen, Who is even at the right hand of God, Who also makes intercession for us” (Romans 8:34).

在祂复活和升天之后，基督作为我们的大祭司、中保和代祷者，在天上的圣所开始祂的事工。“有基督耶稣已经死了，而且从死里复活，现今在 神的右边，也替我们祈求。”（罗马书8:34）

But if Christ’s sacrifice was enough, what is left to do in the heavenly sanctuary?

但是，如果基督的牺牲已经足够，那么在天上圣所还要做什么呢?

It is important to remember that in the earthly tabernacle, after the lamb was slain, its blood was sprinkled inside the sanctuary, symbolically transferring the sin into the sanctuary. The sinner was forgiven but his sin remained in the tabernacle. And just like the earthly service had a yearly atonement, the heavenly sanctuary must also be cleansed.

重要的是记住，在地上的帐幕里，羔羊被杀后，它的血被洒在圣所里，象征着把罪转移到圣所里。罪人被赦免了，但他的罪仍在帐幕里。就像地上的礼拜有一年一度的赎罪一样，天上的圣所也必须被洁净。

In heaven, a record is kept to document every person’s life. This record is what will be studied during judgment. “For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:14).

在天上，记录着每个人的生活。这个记录将在审判期间被鉴察。传道书12:14因为人所作的事，连一切隐藏的事，无论是善是恶， 神都必审问。

God showed Daniel a vision of the heavenly sanctuary where he saw an overview of future world happenings and learned about the 2300-day prophecy. “For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed” (Daniel 8:14). This prophecy would begin when “the command to restore and build Jerusalem” was given by King Artaxerxes in 457 BC (Daniel 9:25). It would end in 1844 AD.

上帝给但以理看了天上的异象，在那里他看到了未来世界发生的事情，并学习了2300日的预言。“到二千三百日，圣所就必洁净。”（但以理书8:14）这个预言开始于公元前457年亚达薛西王下令“重建和建造耶路撒冷”(但以理书9:25)。它将于公元1844年结束。

In the 1800s, a group of believers who read these prophecies believed that the earth was the sanctuary and its cleansing would be at the second coming of Christ. Just as the earthly sanctuary was cleansed on the Day of Atonement, they believed that Jesus would return on the Day of Atonement on October 22, 1844.

在19世纪，一群信徒读了这些预言，他们相信地球是圣所，将在基督第二次降临时进行洁净。就像地上的圣所在赎罪日被洁净一样，他们相信耶稣会在1844年10月22日的赎罪日回来。

Unfortunately, it didn’t happen as they expected. Hence, that day was called The Great Disappointment. However, through further Bible study and prayer, they discovered that instead of returning to earth, Jesus would begin His ministry in the heavenly sanctuary on that day.

不幸的是，事情并没有如他们所愿。因此，这一天被称为“大失望”。然而，通过进一步的《圣经》学习和祷告，他们发现耶稣不是回到地上，而是在那一天在天上圣所开始祂的事奉。

With this, there must be a time of investigation: Whose sins does Jesus need to cover? Who has made the decision to accept His gift of forgiveness? Who has committed their lives to Him?

因此，必须有一个查案审判:耶稣需要掩盖谁的罪?谁已经决定接受祂赦罪的礼物?谁将自己的生命交托给祂?

Seeing the judgment scene in his vision, Daniel wrote, “I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated…His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire…a thousand thousands ministered to Him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened” (Daniel 7:9, 10).

但以理在见到查案审判的异象中，他写到:“ 我观看，见有宝座设立…… 宝座乃火焰，其轮乃烈火。从他面前有火，像河发出，侍奉他的有千千，在他面前侍立的有万万。他坐着要行审判，案卷都展开了。”(但以理书7:9-10)

Prophet Zechariah also described it this way: Joshua, a high priest, is “standing before the angel of the Lord.” Satan is “at His right hand to oppose Him” (Zechariah 3:1). Then, a voice rings out, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan!” (verse 2). The priest realizes he is “clothed with filthy garments” (verse 3).

撒加利亚先知也这么描述约书亚大祭司：“站在耶和华的使者面前，撒但也站在约书亚的右边，与他作对。”（约书亚3:1）然后，有声音出来，“撒但哪，耶和华责备你，”（2节）。大祭司意识到他“穿着污秽的衣服，站在使者面前。”（3节）

The Lord looks at Joshua, commanding those who are standing before Him, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” To Joshua, He says, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes” (verse 4).

耶和华看著约书亚，吩咐站在他面前的人说，“你们要脱去他污秽的衣服。又对约书亚说：‘我使你脱离罪孽，要给你穿上华美的衣服。’”（4节）

Like Joshua, we come to judgment in dirty clothes. “All our righteousnesses are like filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). But “if we confess our sins,” Jesus “is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

我们就像约书亚穿着肮脏的衣服站在审判台前。“所有的义都像污秽的衣服。”（以赛亚书64:6）“但是我们若认自己的罪，”耶稣“是信实的，是公义的，必要赦免我们的罪，洗净我们一切的不义。”（约翰一书1:9）

When we surrender ourselves to Him, He will guide our case through the judgment. “He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels” (Revelation 3:5).

当我们把自己交给祂，祂会通过审判引导我们的案子。“凡得胜的，必这样穿白衣，我也必不从生命册上涂抹他的名，且要在我父面前和我父众使者面前认他的名。”（启示录3:5）

Soon, the words will be spoken: “He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still” (Revelation 22:11).

再过不久，经上说：“不义的，叫他仍旧不义；污秽的，叫他仍旧污秽；为义的，叫他仍旧为义；圣洁的，叫他仍旧圣洁。”（启示录22:11）

Then, the case of every person will be decided upon. As much as God wants to save all people, He respects their choices.

然后，每个人的案卷将被决定。虽然上帝想拯救所有的人，但祂尊重他们的选择。

As soon as Jesus finishes His work of intercession and the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary, He will return to earth, joined by all who have chosen to accept His gift of salvation.

一旦耶稣完成了祂代求和洁净了天上圣所的工作，祂就会回到地上，与所有选择接受祂救赎礼物的人在一起。

Right now, Jesus lingers in the heavenly sanctuary, ready to forgive our sins as soon as we confess them all to Him. Have you accepted His gift of forgiveness and cleansing?

现在，耶稣停留在天上的圣所，准备好宽恕我们的罪，只要我们向祂承认所有的罪。你接受祂的宽恕和洁净的礼物了吗?
