耶和華殿的山必堅立、超乎諸山、高舉過於萬嶺(賽2章)
末後的日子、耶和華殿的山必堅立、超乎諸山、高舉過於萬嶺.萬民都要流歸這山。(賽 2:2)
這節經文就鐫刻在台灣總會一樓會堂外牆,讓願意進入真教會敬拜神的人可以看見、思想。這段經文是對於未來的預言,是必然要成就的,時間點就在末後的日子。但是末後的日子,是什麼時候?
這天國的福音、要傳遍天下、對萬民作見證、然後末期纔來到。(太 24:14)
當福音傳遍天下了,代表大災難的「末期」才會來到,而福音傳遍天下時,就是以賽亞書這裏的「末後的日子」。只是,末期來臨、大災難發生時,再無機會聚會、聽道理、傳福音,因為救恩的門將關閉。但這個時期的時間長度,從啟示錄查考起來可以知道將極為短暫,接著耶穌就從天降臨了。
那一千年完了、撒但必從監牢裏被釋放、出來要迷惑地上四方的列國、〔方原文作角〕就是歌革和瑪各、叫他們聚集爭戰.他們的人數多如海沙。他們上來遍滿了全地、圍住聖徒的營、與蒙愛的城.就有火從天降下、燒滅了他們。(啟 20:7-9)
這裏的「一千年」就是指現在,我們與耶穌同作王的真耶穌教會時期,但是這一千年會「完了」,也就是那負責蓋印的天使,會在這一千年的期限內,將創世以先在基督裡預定要得救的人,都蓋上代表聖靈的「印」。全部蓋完了,大災難就會臨到。
此後我看見四位天使站在地的四角、執掌地上四方的風、叫風不吹在地上、海上、和樹上。我又看見另有一位天使、從日出之地上來、拿着永生神的印.他就向那得着權柄能傷害地和海的四位天使、大聲喊着說、地與海並樹木、你們不可傷害、等我們印了我們神眾僕人的額。(啟 7:1-3)
「等我們印了我們神眾僕人的額」就是在指這神的印有蓋完的時候,表示福音與恩典的門有關閉的一天之意。我們傳福音的期限,就在這一千年裡。
「耶和華殿的山」就是錫安山,「必堅立、超乎諸山、高舉過於萬嶺」就是這目前不起眼的真耶穌教會,將要在末後的日子赫赫有名。指日可待的景象,就是真耶穌教會將會引起騷動,大家將慕名而來,聚會門口大排長龍要接受福音,因為人們將爭相走告:「只有真耶穌教會才有真裡,只有真耶穌教會才是唯一得救的教會」
關於得救的恩門有一天會關閉的這件事,你準備好了嗎?
他又對我說、不可封了這書上的預言.因為日期近了。不義的、叫他仍舊不義.污穢的、叫他仍舊污穢.為義的、叫他仍舊為義.聖潔的、叫他仍舊聖潔。看哪、我必快來.賞罰在我、要照各人所行的報應他。(啟 22:10-12)

The mountain of the house of the Lord Will be established as the chief of the mountains, And will be raised above the hills (Isaiah 2)
“Now it will come about that In the last days The mountain of the house of the Lord Will be established as the chief of the mountains, And will be raised above the hills; And all the nations will stream to it.” (Isaiah 2:2 NASB2020)
This verse is engraved on the exterior wall of the first-floor chapel of the Taiwan General Assembly, so that those who wish to enter the true church to worship God can see and contemplate it. This verse is a prophecy about the future, something that will inevitably be fulfilled, in the last days. But when are the last days?
“This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14 NASB2020)
When the gospel has been preached throughout the world, it signifies the arrival of the "end," representing the great tribulations. And when the gospel has been preached throughout the world, that is, the "last days" mentioned in Isaiah. However, when the end times arrive and the great tribulation occurs, there will be no more opportunities to service, listen to sermon, and preach the gospel, because the door of salvation will be closed. But the duration of this period, as can be seen from Revelation, will be extremely short, after which Jesus will descend from heaven.
“When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore. And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.”
(Revelation 20:7-9 NASB2020)
The "thousand years" here refers to the present time, the time of the True Jesus Church, where we reign with Jesus. But this thousand years will "finish," meaning that the angel responsible for sealing will, within this thousand-year period, seal all those predestined in Christ for salvation before the creation of the world with the "seal" represented by the Holy Spirit. Once all are sealed, the great tribulation will come.
“After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, holding the seal of the living God; and he called out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth, or the sea, or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads.””
(Revelation 7:1-3 NASB2020)
“Until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads” refers to the time when God’s seal is exhausted, signifying the day when the door of the gospel and grace will close. Our time to preach the gospel is within this thousand years.
“The mountain of the house of the Lord” is Mount Zion, and “it will be established as the chief of the mountains and will be raised above the hills”—this refers to the seemingly insignificant True Jesus Church will become famous in the last days. The upcoming scene is that True Jesus Church will cause a stir; people will come because they hear our name, forming long lines at the church doors to receive the gospel, and they will go around spread the word: "Only the True Jesus Church has the truth; only the True Jesus Church is the only church that is saved."
Are you prepared for the day when the door of salvation will close?
“And he *said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. Let the one who does wrong still do wrong, and the one who is filthy still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous still practice righteousness, and the one who is holy still keep himself holy.” “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to reward each one as his work deserves.”
(Revelation 22:10-12 NASB2020)
