启十四1　我又观看，看哪，羔羊站在锡安山上，同祂还有十四万四千人，额上都写着祂的名，和祂父的名。

　　　4　……羔羊无论往哪里去，他们都跟随祂。他们是从人间买来的，作初熟的果子归与神和羔羊。

　　新耶路撒冷乃是得胜者的总和。……只有较小部分的信徒是得胜者。……在主来时，祂只把得胜者取去，把其余的信徒留在另一类，因为他们还没有在祂的神圣生命里成熟。……失败的信徒……要在外面的黑暗里受惩罚（太八12，二二13，二五30）。这乃是为使他们得成全，以至成熟。

　　早期的得胜者要得着赏赐。对于在今世得胜的，主要以他们在基督里的所是赏赐他们。……至终，大体的信徒要享受他们在基督里的所是，直到永远。

　　得胜的意思……是说，我们爱主胜于我们的己，胜于我们的魂生命。得胜者只知道基督，只爱基督。

　　新天新地的新耶路撒冷……是旧约和新约，历世历代所有信徒的总和。到那时，所有蒙神拣选和救赎的人，都要成为得胜者（得胜者，五至六、八至九页）。

　　Rev. 14:1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him a hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.

　　4 ...These are they who follow the Lamb wherever He may go. These were purchased from among men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

　　The New Jerusalem is the totality of the overcomers.... Only a relatively small part of the believers will be the overcomers.... At the Lord's coming, He will take away only the overcomers, leaving the rest of the believers...because they will not have the maturity in His divine life.... [They] will suffer discipline in outer darkness (Matt. 8:12; 22:13; 25:30). This is so that they can be perfected for their maturity.

　　The earlier overcomers will be rewarded. The Lord will reward the overcomers in this age with what they are in Christ.... Eventually, the majority of the believers will enjoy what they are in Christ for eternity.

　　To overcome...means that we love Him more than our self, more than our soul-life. An overcomer knows and loves only Christ.

　　The New Jerusalem in the new heaven and the new earth for eternity...will be the totality of all the believers throughout all the generations of the Old Testament and the New Testament. By then all of God's chosen and redeemed people will have been made overcomers. (CWWL, 1991- 1992, vol. 4, "The Overcomers," pp. 182, 184-185)

　　一面，我们已进入神里面；另一面，我们还在进入神的大道上。〔按诗篇八十四篇五节，锡安〕大道在我们心中，意思是我们需要在里面接受召会的路，而不仅是外面的接受（圣经恢复本，诗八四5注1）。

　　在预表基督十字架的铜祭坛这里，我们在神面前的问题借着钉十字架的基督作祭物得了解决。这使我们有资格进入帐幕（帐幕预表基督是成为肉体、可进入的三一神），并在香坛这里接触神。在至圣所前面的金香坛这里，……这位在升天里复活的基督是香，使我们在平安中蒙神悦纳。我们借着在香坛的祷告，进入至圣所，就是我们的灵（来十19），在此经历基督作见证的柜及其内容。我们借着对基督这样的经历，就被合并到帐幕，就是成为肉体的三一神里面，成为团体基督的一部分（林前十二12），作神的见证，使祂得着彰显（诗八四3注1）。

　　基督的十字架，由铜祭坛所预表，是我们的“窝”，我们的避难所，在此我们蒙拯救脱离烦恼，在此我们也得以“菢雏”，即借着传福音，产生初信者。当我们经历在升天里复活的基督（由金香坛所预表），我们就在这样一位基督里蒙神悦纳，并在神的殿中找着房屋，也就是安息之所。这殿是经过过程并终极完成的三一神，与一切祂所救赎、重生并变化之选民的联结、调和与合并（约十四1~23），在今世乃是基督的身体，在永世乃是新耶路撒冷，作神与祂所救赎之人相互的居所（启二一3、22）（诗八四3注3）。

　　主还没有结束这世代的原因，就是祂还在等候……一班得胜者活在祂复活里的身体里，作祂带进祂国度时代的凭借。……在启示录十四章我们看见，得救的人虽然很多，但得胜者只有十四万四千人。愿主怜悯我们，都作今时代的得胜者，好叫主能结束这时代，而带进祂国度的时代（神经纶的总纲与神人该有的生活，四六至四七页）。

　　On the one hand, we have entered into God; on the other hand, we are still on the highways to enter into God. That the highways are in our heart means that we need to take the way of the church internally, not merely externally. (Psa. 84:5, footnote 1)

　　At the bronze altar, a type of the cross of Christ, our problems before God are solved through the crucified Christ as the sacrifices. This qualifies us to enter into the tabernacle, a type of Christ as the incarnated and enterable Triune God, and to contact God at the incense altar. At the golden altar of incense in front of the Holy of Holies..., the resurrected Christ in His ascension is the incense for us to be accepted by God in peace. Through our prayer at the incense altar we enter into the Holy of Holies— our spirit (Heb. 10:19)— where we experience Christ as the Ark of the Testimony with its contents. Through such an experience of Christ we are incorporated into the tabernacle, the incarnated Triune God, to become a part of the corporate Christ (1 Cor. 12:12) as God's testimony for His manifestation. (Psa. 84:3, footnote 1)

　　The cross of Christ, typified by the bronze altar, is our "nest," our refuge, where we are saved from our troubles and where we "lay" our young, that is, produce new believers through the preaching of the gospel. When we experience the resurrected Christ in His ascension, typified by the golden altar of incense, we are accepted by God in such a Christ and find a home, a place of rest, in the house of God. This house is the processed and consummated Triune God united, mingled, and incorporated with all His redeemed, regenerated, and transformed elect (John 14:1-23) to be the Body of Christ in the present age and the New Jerusalem as the mutual dwelling place of God and His redeemed in eternity (Rev. 21:3, 22). (Psa. 84:3, footnote 3)

　　The reason that the Lord still has not closed this age is that He is still waiting...for a group of overcomers to live in His Body in resurrection to be the means for Him to usher in His kingdom age. In Revelation 14 we see that even though many have been saved, the overcomers number only a hundred and forty-four thousand. May the Lord have mercy on us to make us the overcomers in the present age for Him to close this age and bring in His kingdom age.
