1 以色列人形成军队,为神争战,预表新约的信徒被建造成为基督生机的身体,为要争战,以完成神的经纶—弗四16,六12。 |
1 The formation of the children of Israel into an army to fight for God typifies the New Testament believers' being built up into the organic Body of Christ to fight for the carrying out of His economy (Eph. 4:16; 6:12). |
2 神的军队,团体的约书亚,蒙神在祂神圣三一里的祝福,并蒙神人摩西的祝福,预备好去取得美地—民六22~27,林后十三14,申三十16,三三1。 |
2 God's army, a corporate Joshua, was prepared and ready to take the good land under the blessing of God in His Divine Trinity and also under the blessing of Moses, the man of God (Num. 6:22-27; 2 Cor. 13:14; Deut. 30:16; 33:1). |
伍 “我们都需要认识什么是恢复,这恢复在哪里,怎样的人能带这恢复往前。我们都需要看见,今天在主的恢复里,我们是在战场上。我们该是今日的约书亚和迦勒,与撒但空中的权势争战,使我们得着更多的基督以建造基督的身体,建立并扩展神的国,使基督能回来承受地。”(约书亚记生命读经,第七五页) |
Ⅴ "We all need to know what the recovery is, where the recovery is, and what kind of persons can take the recovery on. We all need to see that in the Lord's recovery today we are on a battlefield. We should be today's Joshua and Caleb, fighting against Satan's aerial forces so that we can gain more of Christ for the building up of the Body of Christ, setting up and spreading the kingdom of God so that Christ can come back to inherit the earth" (Life-study of Joshua, p. 61). |

民三六13 这是耶和华在摩押平原与耶利哥相对的约但河边,借着摩西所吩咐以色列人的命令和典章。 六27 他们要如此将我的名赐给以色列人,好使我赐福给他们。 以色列人被编组成为一体,作战士为神争战,并作祭司事奉神,以完成神的定旨。神的定旨是要得着新耶路撒冷,将祂自己与祂所救赎的人调和。以色列人编组成为一体,为神争战并事奉神,这预表新约的信徒被建造成为基督生机的身体,为神争战,好在事奉神的事上执行神永远的经纶。 以色列人形成军队,能为着护卫神的见证(帐幕里的约柜)而争战。就实际来说,这是指明今天的召会为着护卫成为肉体的神而争战。神在祂自己里面不需要护卫,但神在祂的具体化身里需要借着召会的争战而得着护卫(民数记生命读经,一四至一五页)。 |
Num. 36:13 These are the commandments and the ordinances which Jehovah commanded through Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 6:27 So shall they put My name upon the children of Israel, that I Myself may bless them. The children of Israel were formed into a body to fight for God as warriors and serve God as priests for the carrying out of God's purpose. God's purpose is to have the New Jerusalem, to mingle Himself with His redeemed people. The formation of the children of Israel into a body to fight for God and to serve God typifies the New Testament believers being built up into the organic Body of Christ to fight for God for the carrying out, in its service to God, of God's eternal economy. The children of Israel were formed into an army able to fight for the protection of God's testimony (the Ark in the tabernacle). This indicates that, in a very real sense, the church today is fighting for the protection of the incarnated God. God in Himself needs no protection, but God in His embodiment needs to be protected by the fighting of the church. (Life-study of Numbers, pp. 12-13) |

事奉主并为祂的国争战,不是一件肤浅、微小或轻忽的事。反之,这些事非常高深而且奥妙。我们必须达到拿细耳人的水平,就是胜过天然的情感、属地的欢乐、背叛和料不到的死亡。我们若胜过并远离这四件事,就会在领受神自己作我们福分的地位上。 在拿细耳人许愿的记载之后,耶和华吩咐摩西告诉亚伦和他儿子—与神十分亲近的众祭司—用神的神圣三一祝福祂的子民。耶和华是三一神。祂这位三一神在祂的神性并神圣的三一里,将祂自己分赐到我们里面。神若不是三一,就无法将自己分赐到祂的选民里面,作他们的福分。这福分就是神自己分赐到祂的选民里面。神渴望这样祝福祂的选民,但他们需要达到符合祂祝福的标准。 全宇宙中唯一的福分就是神自己。在神以外,任何的事物都是虚空。整个宇宙是神创造的,但若没有神,离了神,甚至神所创造的宇宙也是虚空。宇宙的存在是很大的神迹,但若没有神,宇宙神奇的存在也是虚空。离了神,一切都是“虚空的虚空”(传一2)唯有神自己是真实的。唯有祂对我们是福分。倘若我们得着整个宇宙而失去神,我们就是最可怜的人。历史中满了这种人的事例,他们得着许多财富和物质的事物,但他们至终领悟,没有神,这一切全是虚空。神自己才是我们的福分,而这福分是借着那圣者在祂神圣三一—父、子、圣灵—里分赐到我们里面,而临到我们。 关于神的神圣三一,传统甚至基本的神学都没有这观点,看见神圣三一是为着神将祂自己分赐到我们里面。这亮光是近三十年才临到我们的。 以弗所一章有一段记载,说到三一神如何在祂神圣的三一里,祝福祂所拣选、救赎并变化的人。这章主要的是论到神在祂神圣的三一里祝福我们的三步,就是祂在父里(3~6)、在子里(7~12)并在灵里(13~14)祝福我们。至终,因这神圣三一的流作了神选民的福分,就有一个结果,产生召会作基督的身体,作那在万有中充满万有者的丰满(22~23)。召会作基督的身体,是神圣三一这流将神的一切所是分赐到祂选民里面的整个结果。这基督的身体乃是那在万有中充满万有者的丰满、总和(民数记生命读经,八五至八七页)。 参读:出埃及记生命读经,第十一、七十三至七十四篇。 |
To serve the Lord and to fight for His kingdom are not shallow, small, or light matters. On the contrary, these matters are very deep, high, and profound. We must be up to the level of a Nazarite, one who overcomes natural affection, earthly pleasure, rebellion, and unexpected death. If we overcome these four things and stay away from them, we will be in a position to receive God Himself as our blessing. After the record of the Nazarite vow, the Lord told Moses to tell Aaron and his sons—all the priests, who were so close to Him—to bless His people in the way of His Divine Trinity. Jehovah is the Triune God. As the Triune God, He dispenses Himself into us in His divinity and in His Divine Trinity. Without being triune, God could not dispense Himself into His chosen people as their blessing. The very blessing is God Himself dispensed into His chosen people. Although God desires to bless His chosen people in this way, they need to come up to a standard that matches His blessing. The unique blessing in the whole universe is God Himself. Anything besides God is vanity. The entire universe was created by God, yet without God, apart from God, even the universe created by God is vanity. The existence of the universe is a great miracle, but without God the miraculous existence of the universe is vanity. Apart from God, everything is "vanity of vanities" (Eccl. 1:2). Only God Himself is real. Only He is the blessing to us. If we gained the entire universe yet missed God, we would be the most pitiful persons. History is filled with cases of people who gained many riches and many material things but who eventually realized that, without God, it was all vanity. God Himself is our blessing, and this blessing comes to us through the dispensing of the divine Being into us in His Divine Trinity—in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The traditional and even the basic theology concerning God's Divine Trinity does not have the view that the Divine Trinity is for God to dispense Himself into us. This light has come to us only in the last thirty years. Ephesians 1 gives us a record of how the Triune God blesses His chosen, redeemed, and transformed people in His Divine Trinity. This chapter is mainly on the three steps of God's blessing us in His Divine Trinity, that is, on how He blesses us in the Father (vv. 3-6), in the Son (vv. 7-12), and in the Spirit (vv. 13-14). Eventually, because of such a flow of the Divine Trinity as the blessing to God's chosen people, there is an issue, and the issue of this blessed flow is the church as the Body of Christ, the fullness of the One who fills all in all (vv. 22-23). The church as the Body of Christ is the total issue of the Divine Trinity as a flow to dispense all that God is into His chosen people. The Body of Christ is the fullness, the totality, of the One who fills all in all. (Life-study of Numbers, pp. 77-78) Further Reading: Life-study of Exodus, msgs. 11, 73-74 |
