375 中翻英 (105) The harlot of Babylon contains all evil 's spirits of pretense and hypocrisy! 淫婦 巴比倫包括了一切假裝和虛偽的靈！ 03/05/2023
編輯者讀啟示錄常常被19章1節記載重複的吼叫 "巴比倫的傾倒" 所迷惑，讀五月三日的曠野筵席的晨曦默思才恍然大悟。親愛的訪友，請千萬不要仿照亞拿尼亞和他的妻子撒非喇，為了貪圖人的尊敬，就裝出一副超乎他們實際的「自我犧牲的模樣。」他們欺哄聖靈，都死了。
「此后，我听見好像群眾在天上大聲說，哈利路亞！救恩，榮耀，權能，都屬乎我們的神。」（啟 19:1 新國際版）
這個屢次被稱為「大」城的倒塌，引起了啟示錄第一次的「哈利路亞！」天上為何因著巴比倫的毀滅而如此的歡樂？這是因為巴比倫包括了一切假裝和虛偽的靈！以色列百姓進入迦南地第一次所記載的罪，就是竊取了一件巴比倫的衣裳。亞干貪慕巴比倫那華麗的款式，他要美觀。新約初期的教會，第一次所記載的罪也与此相類似。亞拿尼亞和他的妻子撒非喇，為了貪圖人的尊敬，就裝出一副超乎他們實際的「自我犧牲的模樣。」他們也像亞干那樣貪圖外表上的好看。今日在教會里，同樣不難見到神的儿女借著某些行動，希望給別人一個好印象，并為自己建立一個有聲望和得贊揚的地位。這是淫婦巴比倫的原則，是神所憎惡的。

"After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: Hallelujah! Salvation, and glory and power belong to our God" (Revelation 19:1 NIV).
This repeatedly shouting of "Great" city falling to cause the first "Hallelujah!" in Revelation. Why is there such joy in heaven over the destruction of Babylon? This is because Babylon contains all the devil 's spirits of pretense and hypocrisy! The first recorded sin of the Israelites entering Canaan was stealing a Babylonian garment. Achan covets the splendid style of Babylon, he desires beauty, that is pretense . The first sin of the early New Testament church is recorde similar to this. Ananias and his wife, Sapphira, put on a "self-sacrificing appearance" that exceeded their reality for the sake of respect, that is hypocrisy. Like Achan, they also wanted appearances, i.e. pretense . In the church today, it is also not difficult to see God's children through certain actions, hoping to make a good impression on others and establish a prestigious and commendable position for themselves. This is the harlot of Babylon's principles of pretense and hypocrisy , which are the abominations to God.
