神按着祂的形像，照着祂的样式造人，目的是要人接受祂作生命，并彰显祂的属性；神给人管治权，目的是要征服祂的仇敌，恢复地，并运用祂管理地的权柄。
God's intention in creating man in His image and according to His likeness is that man would receive Him as life and express Him in His attributes, and God's intention in giving man dominion is to subdue His enemy, recover the earth, and exercise His authority over the earth.
生命树作神永远经纶的中心，预表基督这三一神的具体化身，成为三部份人这器皿的生命和生命的供应，使神得着团体的彰显—这是神中心的思想。
The tree of life as the center of God's eternal economy typifies Christ, the embodiment of the Triune God, to be life and the life supply to the tripartite man as a vessel for the corporate expression of God—this is the central thought of God.
当神的子民爱神、花时间在祂的话上与祂交通时，神就将祂的神圣元素注入他们里面，使他们与祂成为一，作祂的配偶，在生命、性情和彰显上，与祂一样。
As God's people love God and spend time to fellowship with Him in His word, God infuses them with His divine element, making them one with Him as His spouse, the same as He is in life, nature, and expression.
女人的后裔乃是单个的基督—祂借着在十字架上的死，伤了蛇—也是团体的基督—就是男孩子，包括基督作头，以及得胜的信徒作身体—要打败神的仇敌，并带进祂的国，使祂永远的定旨得以完成。
The seed of the woman is the individual Christ— the One who bruised the serpent through His death on the cross— and also the corporate Christ—the man-child, including Christ as the Head and the overcoming believers as the Body— who will defeat God's enemy and bring in His kingdom so that His eternal purpose might be accomplished.
