诗六八1　愿神兴起；愿祂的仇敌四散；愿恨祂的人从祂面前逃跑。

　　民十35　约柜往前行的时候，摩西就说，耶和华啊，求你兴起，愿你的仇敌四散；愿恨你的人从你面前逃跑。

　　〔诗篇六十八篇一节〕是引用民数记十章三十五节约柜从西乃山往前行时，摩西的祷告。

　　摩西带以色列人到西乃山以后，他们留在那里相当长的时间。……那时所发生主要的事不是颁布律法，乃是神嘱咐摩西建造帐幕同约柜、香坛、灯台、陈设饼桌子、洗濯盆、祭坛和所有的器具（诗篇生命读经，三八六页）。

　　Psa. 68:1 Let God arise; let His enemies be scattered; and let those who hate Him flee before Him.

　　Num. 10:35 And when the Ark set out, Moses said, Rise up, O Jehovah, and let Your enemies be scattered; and let those who hate You flee before You.

　　Psalm 68:1 is a quotation of Moses' prayer in Numbers 10:35, uttered when the Ark of the Covenant set out from Mount Sinai.

　　After Moses brought the children of Israel to Mount Sinai, they stayed there for quite a long time....The main thing that happened at that time was not the decreeing of the law but God's charging Moses to build the tabernacle with the Ark, the incense altar, the lampstand, the table of the bread of the Presence, the laver, the altar, and all the utensils. (Life-study of the Psalms, pp. 316-317)

　　神要以色列人为祂建造帐幕，使祂能住在他们中间，并使他们能接触祂，甚至与祂同住。然而，因为他们是罪恶的，他们就需要祭坛来顾到他们的罪。此外，他们需要陈设饼桌子以得着属灵的食物，灯台作属灵的光，以及香坛让他们向主祷告。

　　神在基督里的行动，描绘在诗篇六十八篇一至十八节。……一节上半说，“愿神兴起”，神的确兴起行动，……借着帐幕行动。……这指明神在基督里并借着基督行动；没有基督，神就无法在地上行动。三一神在基督里作长途“旅行”，这个旅行持续了三十三年半，结束于基督升到第三层天。

　　六十八篇说到神在作祂居所之帐幕（预表基督）里的行动，以约柜（预表基督）为中心。帐幕同约柜在以色列人中间旅行四十年，直至到达锡安。

　　神这行动开始于竖立帐幕同约柜（表征基督成为肉体，作神在地上的居所，以祂自己为神在祂经纶中行动的中心）以后（约一14上，民九15上）。这就是说，只有当神确立了帐幕同约柜这条路，使祂在其中能与祂的子民同在，并且他们在其中能接触祂，且与祂同在时，神才能在地上行动。在旧约里有预表，但在新约里有基督作帐幕同约柜的实际。……这个行动是从西乃山（诗六八8下、17下），就是从颁布律法……开始，经过表征地的旷野（4中、7下），到神的住处锡安山（表征神在诸天里的住处—弗四8上）（诗六八16）。……今天我们也该因神在地上的行动（从基督的成为肉体到祂的升天）而欢乐（诗篇生命读经，三八七、三八九至三九二页）。

　　神在地上的行动，乃是在祂的居所里并借着祂的居所；祂的居所是以基督为中心。我们必须清楚这三点：　神正在地上行动，　神的行动是在帐幕里，并同着帐幕，　神的行动是同着作帐幕之中心的基督。六十八篇是以这种背景写的，恰当地描绘出今天神在地上行动的情形。神正在地上行动，祂正在召会中并借着召会行动，并且以基督为召会的中心而行动（李文集一九六九年第三册，一一七页）。

　　一位早期的教父亚他那修（Athanasius）论到基督说，“祂成为人，使我们得以成为神。”又说，“话成了肉体，……使我们有分于祂的灵，而得以成为神。”这是神在地上行动的原则。神的行动是在人里面，并借着人。神的行动是要使人在生命和性情上成为神，却无分于神格（约伯记生命读经，一五二页）。

　　God wanted the children of Israel to build Him a tabernacle so that He could dwell among them and they could contact Him and even dwell with Him. However, because they were sinful, they needed an altar to take care of their sins. In addition, they needed the table of the bread of the Presence for spiritual food, the lampstand for spiritual light, and the incense altar for them to pray to the Lord.

　　The move of God in Christ is portrayed in Psalm 68:1-18....The first part of verse 1 says, "Let God arise," and God did rise up to move...through the tabernacle....This indicates that God moves in Christ and through Christ. Without Christ, God cannot move on the earth. In Christ the Triune God made a long "tour," a tour that lasted thirty-three and a half years and that ended with Christ's ascension to the third heaven.

　　Psalm 68 is about God's move within the tabernacle (typifying Christ) as His dwelling place with the Ark (typifying Christ) as the center. The tabernacle with the Ark traveled among the children of Israel for forty years until it arrived at Zion.

　　This move of God began after the rearing up of the tabernacle of the Ark, signifying Christ incarnated to be the dwelling place of God on the earth with Himself as the center for God's move in His economy (John 1:14a; Num. 9:15a). This means that God could move on earth only after He had established a way—the tabernacle with the Ark—in which He could be with His people and in which they could contact Him and be with Him. In the Old Testament we have the type, but in the New Testament we have Christ as the reality of the tabernacle of the Ark.

　　God's move...was from Sinai, signifying from the law (Psa. 68:8b, 17b), through the wilderness, signifying the earth (vv. 4b, 7b), to Mount Zion, God's dwelling place (v. 16), signifying God's dwelling place in the heavens (Eph. 4:8a)....Today we should triumph and exult in the move of God on earth, in His move from incarnation to ascension. (Life-study of the Psalms, pp. 317, 319-321)

　　God was moving on the earth in and through His dwelling place with Christ as the center. We must be clear concerning these three points: (1) God is moving on the earth, (2) God's move is in and with the tabernacle, and (3) God's move is with Christ as the center in the tabernacle. Psalm 68 was written with this background. It is an exact portrayal of the situation with God's move on the earth today. God is moving on this earth, He is moving in and through His church, and He is moving with Christ as the center of the church. (CWWL, 1969, vol. 3, "Christ and the Church Revealed and Typified in the Psalms," p. 88)

　　Athanasius, one of the early church fathers, said concerning Christ, "He was made man that we might be made God," and "The Word was made flesh...that we, partaking of His Spirit, might be deified." This is the principle of God's move on earth. God's move is in man and through man. God's move is to deify man, making man God in life and in nature but not, of course, in the Godhead. (Life-study of Job, p. 129)
