227. “我要将以后必成的事指示你”表揭示最后审判之前、中、后要到来的事。之所以表示这些事,是因为启示录所论述的无非是教会末期的状态,因而是最后审判之前、中、后要发生的事(同上,2节)。
227. "And I will show you things which must take place after this." This symbolizes revelations regarding events to come before the Last Judgment, during it, and after it.
These are symbolically meant, because the book of Revelation has as its only subject the state of the church at its end, thus the events to come before the Last Judgment, and during it, and after it, as said in no. 2 above.
227. 'And I will show thee things which must come to pass hereafter' signifies revelations of things to come before the last judgment, also of the last judgment itself, and after it. These things are signified because in the Apocalypse it treats of nothing else but the state of the Church at its end, thus of the things to come before the last judgment, also of that judgment, and after it, as was said above (2).
227. And I will show thee things which must be hereafter, signifies revelations of things to come before the Last Judgment, and concerning it, and after it. These things are signified, because in Revelation nothing else is treated of but the state of the church at its end, thus the things that are to be before the Last Judgment, and concerning it, and after it, as above, (2).
227. "Et ostendam tibi quae oportet fieri posthac," significat revelationes de futuris ante Ultimum Judicium, et de illo, et post illud. - Haec significantur quia in Apocalypsi non agitur de re alia, quam de statu Ecclesiae in suo fine, ita de futuris ante Ultimum Judicium, ac de illo, et post illud, ut supra (2) dictum est.
