About the Book

啟示錄是使徒約翰所寫關於他當代的政治環境及教會境況、信徒的遭遇,為要對時代作控訴,對信徒作勉勵。「你將要受的苦你不用怕。魔鬼要把你們中間幾個人下在監裡,叫你們被試煉,你們必受患難十日。你務要至死忠心,我就賜給你那生命的冠冕」(啟2:10)。

對很多基督徒來說,啟示錄是一卷預言末後事件的書卷,上帝藉使徒約翰顯明世界終局時的種種異象。但對本書作者來說,啟示錄卻不算是一卷真的預言書,而是被軟禁於拔摩島上的使徒約翰所寫的一幅政治漫畫,他關注的是當時代的信徒群體。他以坊間流行的啟示文體來借古喻今,暗引舊約及福音書內容來諷喻當時殘害教會、逼迫信徒的羅馬政府,亦勉勵該些受苦中的信徒要對上帝堅貞到底。

一般信徒基於啟示錄而認為在末世將會出現的敵基督、聖殿重建,以至七年大災難、第三次世界大戰等,其實都未必一定會發生。但縱使世界終局、主再來時、這一切都沒有發生,聖經的記載,包括耶穌的末世預言及啟示錄的內容,都依然準確。

「我又看見一位天使站在日頭中,向天空所飛的鳥大聲喊著說:你們聚集來赴上帝的大筵席,可以吃君王與將軍的肉,壯士與馬和騎馬者的肉,並一切自主的為奴的,以及大小人民的肉。我看見那獸和地上的君王,並他們的眾軍都聚集,要與騎白馬的並他的軍兵爭戰。那獸被擒拿;那在獸面前曾行奇事、迷惑受獸印記和拜獸像之人的假先知,也與獸同被擒拿。他們兩個就活活的被扔在燒著硫磺的火湖裡;其餘的被騎白馬者口中出來的劍殺了;飛鳥都吃飽了他們的肉」(啟19:17-21)。

在使徒約翰的時代,羅馬政府有時會因著不同的原因而以兇殘手段對付基督徒。例如豆米田就是個很狂傲的君王,他自稱為神,很多地方官員就大力推行君王敬拜來取悅他,於是那些不願參與這種敬拜的基督徒就會受到逼迫甚至殺害。有些基督徒被捉到羅馬鬥獸場去,被獅子老虎等猛獸撕裂致死,或被綁在木柱上被火慢慢烤死,死去的屍首就被禿鷹或一些飛鳥吃掉。一些基督徒就在羅馬鬥獸場中被迫成為「劍鬥士」(或作角鬥士,The Gladiators)。劍鬥士通常是戰俘或其他犯了過錯的奴隸,職責是在競技場上進行殊死搏鬥,互相用劍撕殺,為羅馬人提供野蠻血腥的娛樂。

約翰在以上一段經文中,表面上是描述基督(騎白馬者)再來時對敵擋上帝者作懲罰,實際上是對他當時代的羅馬暴君的一種咒詛,說他們會遭到報應,遭遇同樣的可怕下場:被劍所殺、被火燒死、被飛鳥吃盡其屍首。
