The High King of Heaven,by Dean Davis, is the most sweeping and comprehensive book on eschatology that I’ve ever encountered.
迪安·戴维斯的《天国大君王》是我遇到过的关于末世论最全面和广泛的书。
The scope of this book is simply breathtaking.
这本书的范围简直令人惊叹。
As is typical with all books on eschatology, no one will agree with everything he says.
正如所有末世论书籍的典型情况，没有人会同意他说的一切。
But everyone should wrestle vigorously and thoughtfully with his approach to reading prophetic texts.
但每个人都应该认真而深思地与他阅读预言经文的方法角力。
This isn’t for bedside, late-night reading.
这不是床边深夜阅读的书。
In fact, it will probably keep you up at night! –Sam Storms, Ph. D.: Pastor, Bridgeway Church;author of Kingdom Come: The Amillennial Alternative (Mentor)
事实上，它可能会让你整夜不眠！——萨姆·斯托姆博士：桥道教会牧师；《国度降临：无千禧年论选择》作者
For the last 150 years the evangelical world has been embroiled in a Great Debate about eschatology, about the true biblical picture of God’s ultimate purpose for the universe, life, and man.
过去150年来，福音派世界一直陷入关于末世论的大辩论中，关于神对宇宙、生命和人类终极目的的真正圣经图画。
Much of the debate swirls around the Kingdom of God: What is its true nature?
大部分辩论围绕神的国：它的真正本质是什么？
In how many stages does it enter history?
它以多少阶段进入历史？
How shall we interpret the Old Testament prophecies of the Kingdom-literally (in terms of Israel) or figuratively (in terms of the Church)?
我们应该如何解释旧约关于国度的预言——字面地（就以色列而言）还是比喻地（就教会而言）？
There is also controversy about the Consummation: Will our world get better and better, or worse and worse?
关于终极成全也有争议：我们的世界会越来越好，还是越来越坏？
Will Christ return once, twice, or even three times?
基督会回来一次、两次，还是甚至三次？
When He does return, will it be before the millennium or after?
当祂确实回来时，会是在千禧年之前还是之后？
How many resurrections should we expect?
我们应该期待多少次复活？
How many judgments?
多少次审判？
What will the universe be like when God finally creates the new heavens and the new earth?
当神最终创造新天新地时，宇宙会是什么样子？
This book was written in the conviction that the High King of heaven has given his people certain master keys by which they may know the answers to these questions, and so be fully prepared for the awesome consummation of all things.
这本书是在确信天国大君王已经给祂的百姓某些主钥匙的信念中写成的，借此他们可以知道这些问题的答案，从而为万物可畏的终极成全做好充分准备。
In it, pastor and author Dean Davis seeks to place those keys in our hands, so that we may behold afresh the simplicity and glory of our Blessed Hope, and thereby resolve, once and for all, the Great End Time Debate.
在其中，牧师和作者迪安·戴维斯寻求将那些钥匙放在我们手中，使我们可以重新看见我们福乐盼望的简单性和荣耀，从而一劳永逸地解决末世大辩论。

From the Author

This book is the fulfillment of a longstanding dream.
这本书是一个长久梦想的实现。
It all began one Sunday morning back in the late 1970’s.
一切都始于1970年代末的一个主日早晨。
Though a relatively new Christian, I had already embraced the eschatology of Hal Lindsay and the Scofield Reference Bible.
虽然是一个相对新的基督徒，我已经接受了哈尔·林赛和司可福参考圣经的末世论。
This view (called Dispensationalism) teaches that the Consummation of our redemption will occur in four stages: The Secret Rapture of the Church, the Second Coming of Christ seven years later, the Millennium, and the Last Judgment at the end of the Millennium.
这种观点（称为时代论）教导我们救赎的终极成全将分四个阶段发生：教会的秘密被提，七年后基督的第二次降临，千禧年，以及千禧年末的最后审判。
However, upon returning to our car after church, my wife and I found that some bold soul had left a brochure on our windshield sharply challenging this view.
然而，聚会后回到我们的车边时，我和妻子发现某个大胆的人在我们的挡风玻璃上留了一张小册子，尖锐地挑战这种观点。
Citing both Scripture and Church history, he proposed an alternative idea that immediately captured my imagination: The Lord will indeed come again, but only once, in order to raise the dead, judge the world in righteousness, destroy the present earth and its works by fire, and create new heavens and a new earth, the eternal home of the redeemed.
引用圣经和教会历史，他提出了一个立即抓住我想象力的替代观点：主确实会再来，但只有一次，为了叫死人复活，按公义审判世界，用火毁灭现在的地和其上的工作，并创造新天新地，作为蒙救赎者的永恒家园。
At the time I was too young in the faith to know if the brochure was true.
当时我在信仰上太年轻，不知道小册子是否正确。
But one thing I knew right away: I wanted it to be true, because it was so much simpler than the Dispensational picture, and–to my beginner’s mind–so much more radiant with the glory of Christ.
但有一件事我立即知道：我希望它是真的，因为它比时代论的图画简单得多，而且——对我这个初学者的心智——更加闪耀着基督的荣耀。
Today–after some forty years of theological study and pastoral ministry–I am fully persuaded that Amillennialism is indeed true.
今天——经过约四十年的神学研究和牧养事工——我完全确信无千禧年论确实是真实的。
Moreover, I am now pleased to be able explain to God’s people why I believe it is true.
此外，我现在高兴能够向神的百姓解释为什么我相信它是真实的。
I have done so in my latest (and longest) book: The High King of Heaven: Discovering the Master Keys to the Great End Time Debate (2014, Redemption Press).
我在我最新的（也是最长的）书中做了这件事：《天国大君王：发现末世大辩论的主钥匙》（2014年，救赎出版社）。
My sincere hope and prayer is that the High King himself will bless it to your edification and joy.
我真诚的盼望和祷告是天国大君王祂自己会祝福它成为你们的造就和喜乐。

作为60年代真正的孩子，他一头扎进反文化运动中，实践各种东方宗教，特别是禅宗佛教。
Then, in 1974, in the midst of a deep personal crisis, the God of the Bible graciously stepped in, turning a seeker into a finder, and an orphan into a beloved son, all through a life-changing revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ.
然后，在1974年，在深刻的个人危机中，圣经的神恩慈地介入，通过主耶稣基督改变生命的启示，将一个寻求者变成了寻见者，将一个孤儿变成了蒙爱的儿子。
Since then, Dean has followed the Lord down many roads, serving as a pastor, Sunday School director, Christian bookstore manager, and pro-life leader.
从那时起，迪安跟随主走过许多道路，担任过牧师、主日学校长、基督教书店经理和维护生命领袖。

Believing with Luther Burbank that it is indeed “the chosen spot of the earth as far as nature is concerned,” they hope to grow old there together, even as they keep careful tabs on their five far-flung kids: Mark, Beth, Jonathan, Rebekah, and Sara.
他们与路德·伯班克一样相信这里确实是”就自然而言地球上的选中之地”，他们希望在那里一起变老，同时密切关注他们分散各地的五个孩子：马克、贝丝、约拿单、利百加和萨拉。
