珥二28　以后，我要将我的灵浇灌在一切属肉体的人身上；你们的儿女要说预言，你们的老年人要作异梦；你们的青年人要见异象。

　　32　那时，凡呼求耶和华名的，就必得救；因为照耶和华所说的，在锡安山、在耶路撒冷，必有逃脱的人，在余剩的人中，必有耶和华所召的。

　　在约珥书我们看见神的历史、人的历史和神经纶的历史。……我们不该认为人有历史而神没有历史。这个宇宙中有两个历史：人的历史—属人的历史，和神的历史—神圣的历史。我们可以把人的历史比喻作核桃的外壳，把神的历史比喻作外壳里面的核仁。

　　虽然我们很容易看见外壳，那是外在、物质的，但我们必须有一种内在的洞察力，才能看见外壳里面的核仁，认识在人类历史里面的神圣历史。

　　我们需要清楚看见这两个历史—物质的人类历史和奥秘的神圣历史。……人的历史，世界的历史，是外在的。神圣的历史，就是神在人里并同着人的历史，是内里的。这个历史是在人性里之三一神的神圣奥秘（约珥书生命读经，二四八至二四九、二五一页）。

　　Joel 2:28 And afterward I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; your old men shall dream dreams; your young men shall see visions.

　　32 And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem will be an escape, as Jehovah has said, even for the remnant whom Jehovah calls.

　　In Joel we see the history of God, of man, and of God's economy....We should not think that man has a history but that God does not have a history. In this universe there are two histories: the history of man, the human history, and the history of God, the divine history. We may liken the history of man to the shell of a walnut and the history of God to the kernel within the shell.

　　Although it is easy for us to see the shell, which is something outward and physical, we must have a kind of intrinsic insight in order to see the kernel within the shell, to know the divine history within the human history.

　　We need to have a clear view of these two histories—the physical human history and the mysterious divine history....The history of man, the history of the world, is outward. The divine history, the history of God in and with humanity, is inward. This history is a matter of the divine mystery of the Triune God in humanity. (Life-study of Joel, pp. 33-36)

　　我们都在人类的历史里出生，却在神圣的历史里重生。……我们若活在这个世界，就是活在人类的历史里。但我们若活在召会中，就是活在神圣的历史里。在召会生活中，神的历史就是我们的历史（约珥书生命读经，二五二页）。

　　论到〔基督〕这显现，约珥……说到经过过程、终极完成、复合之灵的浇灌，这灵就是神的灵复合了基督的人性、基督的死及其功效、基督的复活及其大能。……这乃是五旬节那天浇灌下来的圣灵（徒二1~4、16~21），这灵就是终极完成的三一神，也是基督的实化，为着基督的显现。这显现开始于基督的成为肉体，并借着那灵的浇灌得着印证和加强；因为借着那浇灌，个人的基督就成了团体的基督（林前十二12~13），就是召会，作为敬虔的极大奥秘—神显现于肉体（提前三15~16）。召会作为基督的显现，要带进复兴的荣耀之日，就是千年国时代（珥三16~21），那时基督要得着更完满的显现。那复兴要终极完成于新天新地新耶路撒冷，就是基督最完满的显现（启二一1~2）（圣经恢复本，珥二28注1）。

　　从五旬节那天起，现今在地上有一班人，有三一神在他们里面作他们的生命，并在他们身上作他们的权柄。……这班人就是召会，基督的身体。我们若有这异象，就很容易得着活而有效能的信心。我们既然在身体里并为着身体，那么每当我们需要能力，我们就有地位要求元首为身体所成就的一切，作我们的分。我们可以要求我们所需的一切，为着我们的经历（由基督与召会的观点看新约概要，一○一页）。

　　灵神……借着使徒，向硬着心的百姓重复〔以赛亚六章九至十节的话〕。这指明在神圣三一一切的行动里，以色列人向着恩典的神都是悖逆的。这使祂转向外邦人，借着复活和升天的繁殖，开展神的国，建造众召会，而完成祂新约的经纶（徒二八28）（使徒行传生命读经，七一四页）。

　　We all were born in the human history, but we have been reborn, regenerated, in the divine history....If our living is in the world, we are living in the human history. But if we are living in the church, we are living in the divine history. In the church life God's history is our history. (Life-study of Joel, p. 36)

　　Regarding [the manifestation of Christ], Joel speaks...concerning the outpouring of the processed, consummated, compound Spirit, that is, the Spirit of God compounded with Christ's humanity, Christ's death and its effectiveness, and Christ's resur- rection with its power....This is the Holy Spirit, who was poured out on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4, 16-21), and this Spirit is the consummated Triune God and the realization of Christ for the manifestation of Christ. This manifestation began with the incarnation of Christ and has been confirmed and strengthened by the outpouring of the Spirit, for through that outpouring the individual Christ became the corporate Christ (1 Cor. 12:12-13), the church as the great mystery of godliness, God manifested in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:15-16). The church as the manifestation of Christ will bring in the glorious day of restoration, the age of the millennial kingdom (Joel 3:16-21), in which Christ will be manifested in a fuller way. The restoration will consummate in the fullest manifestation of Christ in the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth (Rev. 21:1-2). (Joel 2:28, footnote 1)

　　Since the day of Pentecost there is now a group of persons on the earth who have the Triune God within them as their life and upon them as their authority....This group of people is the church, the Body of Christ. If we have this vision, it will be easy to have a living and prevailing faith. Whenever we need power, since we are in the Body and for the Body, we have the position to claim as our portion whatever the Head has accomplished for the Body. We may claim whatever we need for our experience. (CWWL, 1964, vol. 2, "A General Sketch of the New Testament in the Light of Christ and the Church, Part 1—the Gospels and Acts," pp. 195-196)

　　[In Acts 28:26-27] God the Spirit through the apostle repeated [the word in Isaiah 6:9-10] again to the hard-hearted people. This indicates that in all the moves of the Divine Trinity the children of Israel were disobedient to the God of grace. Then He turned to the Gentiles for the carrying out of His New Testament economy in the spreading of His kingdom for the building up of the churches through the propagation of the resurrected and ascended Christ (Acts 28:28). (Life-study of Acts, pp. 620-621)
