启示录 11 在震动中的见证

引言：当世界开始摇晃

一、被数算的百姓（启11：1-2）
l中敬拜的人。在旧约先知书中，丈量常代表‘归属’与‘保护’。神以此行动宣告：“这是我的产业，我要为它划下保护的界限。”这对受逼迫的信徒是何等大的安慰——当世界要将教会抹去时，天父却说祂亲自数算过自己的百姓，我们都在祂手中。祂不仅知道风暴会持续多久，更知道它何时必须止息。因此，被数算的百姓，不单在空间上被神圈点，也在时间上被神掌握。

二、坚持见证使命（启11：3-13）

1. 被差遣的见证（v3-6）
“我要使我那两个见证人”—见证的呼召始于神的主权。他们‘穿着毛衣’，象征先知哀伤与悔改的认同，其生活形态本身就是一篇信息。他们被喻为‘两棵橄榄树’和‘两个灯台’，表明必须不断从神领受圣灵的膏油，才能持续发光。他们拥有以利亚和摩西般的权柄，象征着神的话语透过仆人，带着审判与拯救的大能。

2. 面对逼迫见证（v7-10）
经文强调一个关键词：“他们作完见证的时候”。神的时间表永远精准，兽可以杀害见证人，却不能缩短他们见证的期限。这兽代表敌挡神的黑暗权势。当教会忠心发光时，必然遭到黑暗势力的反扑。见证人被杀后，尸首被弃置街头，世人竟因此欢喜快乐。这显示世界对真理的本能敌意，但他们的狂欢终将过去。

3. 复活高举见证（v11-13）
“过了这三天半”，有生气从神那里进入他们里面，他们就站起来。这对照基督的复活，表明神的儿女所经历的与他们的元首一样。这是创造主对死亡绝对的权柄。他们听见大声音从天上来：“上到这里来”，便驾云升天。那一刻，大地震发生，城倒塌十分之一。但最值得注意的是结局：“其余的人都恐惧，归荣耀给天上的神。”这正是见证最终的目的—恐惧引向归荣耀给神。复活是神亲自为祂的仆人盖上的印证。

三、宣告神国降临（v14-19）

第14节提醒我们，虽然看见见证人的得胜，但历史的终结尚未完全来到，我们正处于‘已然却未然’的张力中。当第七位天使吹号时，天上有大声音宣告：“世上的国成了我主和主基督的国。”从神永恒的角度看，基督的掌权已是既定事实。二十四位长老俯伏敬拜，包含了感恩、宣告神的公义，以及对忠心神仆的终极赏赐。随后，天上的殿打开，约柜显现—这意味着神与人之间不再有阻隔，祂的同在要成为所有被救赎之民永远的产业。



  

Revelation 11  A Witness in the Midst of Shaking

Speaker: Ps Stella Ling

Introduction: When the World Begins to Tremble

I. The Numbered People (Rev 11:1–2) 
John was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told to measure the temple of God, the altar, and the worshipers there. In the Old Testament prophetic books, measuring often signifies ownership and protection. Through this act, God declares: “This is My inheritance, and I will draw a boundary of protection around it.”
What great comfort this is to persecuted believers—when the world seeks to erase the church, the heavenly Father declares that He has personally numbered His people; we are all in His hands. He not only knows how long the storm will last, but also when it must cease.
Therefore, the numbered people are not only marked out by God in space, but also held by Him in time.

II. Persevering in the Mission of Witnessing (Rev 11:3–13)

1. The Commissioned Witnesses (v3–6) 
“I will appoint My two witnesses”—the calling to bear witness begins with God’s sovereignty.
They are clothed in sackcloth, symbolizing identity with prophetic sorrow and repentance; their very lifestyle is itself a message. They are described as “two olive trees” and “two lampstands,” indicating that they must continually receive the anointing oil of the Holy Spirit from God in order to keep shining.
They possess authority like Elijah and Moses, symbolizing that God’s word, spoken through His servants, carries the power of both judgment and salvation.

2. The Witnesses in the Face of Persecution (v7–10) 
The passage emphasizes a key phrase: “When they have finished their testimony.” God’s timetable is always precise. The beast may kill the witnesses, but it cannot shorten the duration of their testimony.
The beast represents the dark powers that oppose God. When the church shines faithfully, it will inevitably provoke backlash from the forces of darkness. After the witnesses are killed, their bodies are left in the streets, and the world rejoices over them. This reveals the world’s instinctive hostility toward truth—but their celebration will not last.

3. The Witnesses Raised and Exalted (v11–13) 
“After the three and a half days,” the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet. This parallels Christ’s resurrection, showing that what God’s children experience mirrors what their Head has experienced. It is the Creator’s absolute authority over death.
They hear a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here,” and they ascend in a cloud. At that moment, a great earthquake occurs, and a tenth of the city collapses. Yet the most striking outcome is this: “The rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.”
This is the ultimate purpose of witness—fear leading to the giving of glory to God. The resurrection is God’s own seal of vindication upon His servants.

III. Proclaiming the Coming of God’s Kingdom (Rev 11: 14–19) 
Verse 14 reminds us that although we see the victory of the witnesses, the end of history has not yet fully arrived. We live in the tension of the “already but not yet.” When the seventh angel sounds his trumpet, loud voices in heaven proclaim: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.” From God’s eternal perspective, Christ’s reign is already a settled reality.
The twenty-four elders fall down in worship, offering thanksgiving, proclaiming God’s righteousness, and anticipating the ultimate reward for His faithful servants. Then the temple in heaven is opened, and the ark of the covenant is revealed—signifying that there is no longer any barrier between God and humanity. His presence will become the eternal inheritance of all the redeemed.

Conclusion: Standing Firm in the midst of Shaking
Revelation 11 shows us: The numbered people—measured and protected by God in an age that seems to be out of control.
The persevering witness—though persecuted and even killed, ultimately raised and glorified.
The proclaimed kingdom—the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our Lord.
Therefore, when the world trembles, do not be afraid. For we are the numbered people, commissioned witnesses, and heirs of an imperishable kingdom.
