Two brief testimonies on how Holy Spirit helped me in the translation:
1. Holy Spirit told me that the word of “primary theme” was the word that He gave me so that I had the confidence to start the translation:
After I finished the messages in Chinese including the messages of watchman at the beginning of August, the Holy Spirit asked me to start to translate them into English. I thought I could not do it. It is because like most of the Chinese people, I can read and listen to the English, but my ability to write and speak English is limited. Furthermore, these messages are in the name of Holy Spirit. I dare not to do the translation. However, the Holy Spirit gave me this massage for several times:
“And now the Sovereign LORD has sent me, with his Spirit. ” (Isa 48:16)
Looking at the first article, I was still worried. I felt my brain was blank without reactions. My eyes were on one of the sentences and I frown and sighed and did not know how to translate it, then the word of “primary theme” came to me which is the proper and precise word for that sentence. Then Holy Spirit immediately told me that it is Him who gave me that word. Thus, I gained the confidence to start to do the translation. Thanks God!
2. How Holy Spirit told me that it should be “typology”, but not “oracle”:
The word of “typology” is not in the verses of the Bible. After looking up the dictionary, I thought the translation of it should be “oracle”. Therefore, each time I met with that word, I translated it into “oracle”. I remembered that it was on the Sunday night, after I was back from the prayer meeting, I was busy with finishing the translation of the message of Chapter 6 in the book of Hebrews (15-(6)) so that to post it on that day. I was informed by the Holy Spirit that there was something wrong in the translation. Then, He guided my finger to a page in the book of Bible that I have. On that page, there are some tables. Since I always communicate with Holy Spirit through the verses in Bible, I wondered why this time, I was on a page without verses. Then I saw the word on it -- “typology”. I was amazed and deeply moved. If Holy Spirit did not tell me, I am afraid I will mistake “typology” to be as “oracle” all the time without being aware of it. However, it is surprising that the Holy Spirit knows there is this word in the table in the Bible that I have and guided me to see it. I corrected all the errors of this word in the previous translations right away and this word is especially used a lot in that article ((15)-6). “How marvelous Holy Spirit is!” I could not find other words to express my admiration.
All thanks, praises and glories be to God!
