弗一3　我们主耶稣基督的神与父，是当受颂赞的，祂在基督里，曾用诸天界里各样属灵的福分，祝福了我们。

　　 22~23　……使祂向着召会作万有的头；召会是祂的身体，是那在万有中充满万有者的丰满。

　　〔民数记六章〕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们……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。宇宙的存在是大神迹，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。……历史中满了这样的事例，人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，而这福分是借着这位神圣者在祂神圣三一 —父、子、圣灵—里分赐到我们里面，而临到我们（民数记生命读经，八五页）。

　　Eph. 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ.

　　22-23 And He...gave Him to be Head over all things to the church, which is His Body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.

　　After the record of the Nazarite vow [in Numbers 6], the Lord told Moses to tell Aaron and his sons...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....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. (Life-study of Numbers, pp. 77-78)

　　〔永远在人心里是〕“神所栽种，历代以来就在运行的一种要有目的的感觉；日光之下，除神以外，别无什么可以满足这感觉”（The Amplified Bible，扩大本圣经）。神按着自己的形像创造人，并在人里面造了灵，使人能接受祂并盛装祂。……此外，神将永远（就是对永远之事的渴望）安置在人心里，使人寻求神这位永远者。因此，短暂的事物绝不能满足人；唯有永远的神，就是基督，能满足人心深处要有目的的感觉（参林后四18）（圣经恢复本，传三11注1）。

　　以弗所一章记载，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，这蒙福的流所带来的结果乃是召会作基督的身体，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体结果。这基督的身体乃是那在万有中充满万有者的丰满、总和。

　　启示录，圣经最后一卷书，和民数记一样，也是一卷数字的书……。新耶路撒冷有十二个门，上面有以色列十二个支派的名字（启二一12）；又有十二根基，上面有十二使徒的名字（14）。此外，有生命树结十二样果子（二二2）。在这些十二的数字当中，三一神是隐藏的，甚至是调和的，作了祂子民的福分。

　　全本圣经记载的完成，乃是三一神作了祂子民特殊且主观的福分。新耶路撒冷是圣经全部记载的终极完成，乃是神在祂神圣三一 —父、子、灵—里，在十二这数字里，与祂所拣选、救赎并变化的人调和，作他们的福分。这福分要存留到永远。这样的福分乃是民数记六章神对以色列人祝福的终极应验。唯有到新耶路撒冷来临时，这祝福才完全得着应验（民数记生命读经，八六至八七页）。

　　[Eternity in man's heart is] "a divinely implanted sense of purpose working through the ages, which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy" (The Amplified Bible). God created man in His image and formed in him a spirit that man may receive and contain Him....In addition, God put eternity, an aspiration for something eternal, in man's heart so that man will seek God, the eternal One. Hence, temporal things can never satisfy man; only the eternal God, who is Christ, can satisfy the deep sense of purpose in man's heart (cf. 2 Cor. 4:18). See footnote 1 on Song of Songs 1:4. (Eccl. 3:11, footnote 1)

　　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.

　　Like Numbers, Revelation, the last book of the Bible, is also a book of numbers....The New Jerusalem has twelve gates with the names of the twelve tribes (21:12), and twelve foundations with the names of the twelve apostles (v. 14). Furthermore, the tree of life bears twelve kinds of fruit (22:2). Among these twelves the Triune God is hidden, and even mingled, as His people's blessing.

　　The consummation of the record of the entire Bible is God the triune as the very particular and subjective blessing to His people. As the consummation of the entire record of the Bible, the New Jerusalem is just the very God in His Divine Trinity—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—wrapped up in the number twelve with His chosen, redeemed, and transformed people as their blessing. This blessing will last eternally. Such a blessing is the ultimate fulfillment of God's blessing to Israel in Numbers 6. Only when the New Jerusalem comes, will this blessing be completely fulfilled. (Life-study of Numbers, pp. 78-79)
