8当基督这砸人的石头来临时,祂不是单独地来,乃是同着祂的新妇而来。……在祂的婚娶之后,祂要来到,同时要作砸人的石头,并作踹酒醡的那位(15,十四19~20,赛六三2~3)。敌基督要聚集大批邪恶、背叛的人围绕耶路撒冷,这就预备了“葡萄”,给基督来踹“酒醡”。……敌基督甚至夸称自己就是神(帖后二4,但十一36),并在美地和地中海中间,支搭帐幕给自己享受(45)。那时基督这块神所凿出来的石头要同着祂的新妇来临,击打人像的脚指头,把它从脚趾到头毁灭。这样,人类政权就被砸碎而了结。……大人像要被一座大山所顶替,这山表征神的国,要充满全地(二35下、44上)。这就是说,基督来临砸碎人类政权的集大成以后,祂就带进神在地上永远的国(但以理书生命读经,二○至二二页)。 8When Christ comes as the smiting stone, He will not come alone. Rather, He will come with His bride…After His wedding He will come both as the smiting stone and as the One who will tread the winepress (v. 15; 14:19-20; Isa. 63:2-3). Antichrist will gather a vast number of evil, rebellious human beings around Jerusalem, thus preparing the “grapes” to be trodden in the “winepress” by Christ…Antichrist will even go so far as to say that he is God (2 Thes. 2:4; Dan. 11:36), and for his enjoyment will set up his tent between the good land and the Mediterranean Sea (v. 45). Then Christ as the God-cut stone will come with His bride to strike the toes of the image, destroying it from the toes to the head. In this way, human government will be crushed and terminated. The great human image will be replaced with a great mountain, signifying the eternal kingdom of God, which will fill the whole earth (2:35b, 44a). This means that after Christ comes to crush the aggregate of human government, He will usher in the eternal kingdom of God on earth. (Life-study of Daniel, pp. 16-18)
