谁是帖撒罗尼迦后书第2章中描述的“大罪人”，他反对上帝，并通过亵渎的教义和行动寻求在地上取代祂的位置？本周视频中，魏泰德牧师讨论了《善恶之争》的第三章，题为“灵性的黑暗时代”

当中世纪的教会试图获得财富和权力时，导致在异教和基督教之间做出妥协，以对人的忠诚取代了基督的话语——罗马的大主教。没有《圣经》作为保障，人们就没有标准来区分是非，任由腐败的教会和神职人员摆布。随之而来的是预言中的灵性的黑暗时代。

在1260年的黑暗时期中，上帝的话语几乎从地上消失了。邪恶占据了主导地位，人们犯下了难以想象的罪行，并为此庆祝。然而，上帝的真理之光从未完全熄灭。纵观历史，祂始终保留着一批忠实于祂的话语的人。

Who is the “man of sin,” described in 2 Thessalonians 2 who opposes God and seeks to take His place on Earth through blasphemous teachings and practices? This week Pastor Ted Wilson discusses the third chapter of The Great Controversy, entitled “The Era of Spiritual Darkness.”

As the medieval church sought to gain wealth and power, it was led to make a compromise between paganism and Christianity, supplanting the word of Christ with allegiance to a human being—the powerful bishop of Rome. Without the Bible as a safeguard, people had no standard to distinguish between right and wrong and were at the mercy of a corrupt Church and clergy. What followed was an era of spiritual darkness foretold by prophecy.

During the 1,260 years of darkness, the word of God was nearly banished from the face of the Earth. Evil had full sway, with unthinkable crimes being committed and celebrated. Yet, God’s light of truth is never fully extinguished. Throughout history, He has always preserved a remnant who are true to His Word.
