创三七6~7　……请听我所作的这梦：我们在田里捆禾稼，忽然间我的禾捆起来站着，你们的禾捆来围着我的禾捆下拜。

　　十二3　那为你祝福的，我必赐福与他；那咒诅你的，我必咒诅他。地上的万族都必因你得福。

　　创世记三十七章二节告诉我们，约瑟将他哥哥们的恶行报给他父亲。……在三十七章，我们看见约瑟哥哥们的忌恨和怒气；在三十八章，我们看见犹大的情欲。约瑟看见他哥哥们的恶行，就报给他父亲。但约瑟作了两个梦（三七5~9）。在第一个梦里，约瑟看见田里的禾捆。这个梦启示，约瑟再好，不过是禾捆；他的哥哥们再坏，也是禾捆。神给约瑟这梦，他在梦中得着神对他哥哥们的看法。……神给约瑟一个梦，祂似乎说，“约瑟，在我眼中，你和你哥哥们一样，他们也和你一样美好。你是禾捆，他们也是禾捆。你和他们唯一的不同，就是我拣选了你来掌权。但这不是说你比他们好。”（创世记生命读经，一六八七至一六八八页）

　　Gen. 37:6-7 …Listen to this dream which I have had: There we were, binding sheaves in the field, when suddenly my sheaf rose up and remained standing; and then your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf.

　　12:3 And I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.

　　In Genesis 37:2 we are told that Joseph brought to his father an evil report regarding his brothers….In chapter 37 we see the hatred and anger of Joseph's brothers, and in chapter 38 we see Judah's lust. Joseph saw the evil of his brothers and reported it to his father. But Joseph had two dreams (37:5-9). In the first dream Joseph saw sheaves in the field. This dream reveals that, at the most, Joseph was just a sheaf and that, at the worst, his brothers also were sheaves. God gave Joseph this dream, and in it he had God's view of his brothers….God came to give Joseph a dream, and He seemed to say,”Joseph, in My eyes you are the same as your brothers, and they are just as good as you are. You are a sheaf; and they also are sheaves. The only difference between you and them is that I have chosen you to reign. But this does not mean that you are better than they are.” (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 1414-1415)

　　我们若没有经历，就不能明白圣经中关于约瑟梦见禾捆的话。当你初初进入召会生活，你也许会说，“召会生活何等美妙！弟兄姊妹都很美好！我何等爱召会！”然而，你越爱召会，越照顾圣徒，你就越看见“地鼠”、“乌龟”和“蝎子”。然后你会说，“……主，召会的光景真可怜。……”在这样的时候，你就需要属天的梦。当梦来了，主会告诉你：“你并不比别人好，别人也不比你差。你们在我里面都是生命的禾捆。在我的子民中，没有‘地鼠’、‘蝎子’或‘乌龟’。众人都是满了生命的禾捆。”我若没有看见这样属天的梦，我早已不干了。但我已经看见这梦。我已经看见我是禾捆，那些在我眼中是“地鼠”的人，也都是禾捆。

　　多年前，我向主有许多告状的祷告；我将我所看见的恶行报给祂。我在祷告中说，“主，我放下我的职业，为着这工作献上我的生命和前途。但是主，看看这班人！”然而，最终梦来了，主对我说，“你并不比他们好。你再好，不过是禾捆；他们再坏，也是禾捆。”起初我很困扰，我和主辩论，说，“主，你不透，你太表面。你岂没有看见他们的心么？”但主说，“我不用你的眼光看他们。我用我的眼光看他们。在新耶路撒冷里，没有‘地鼠’和‘蝎子’。”

　　以利亚抱怨以色列人说，“以色列人背弃了你的约，拆毁了你的坛，用刀杀了你的申言者，只剩下我一个人，他们还寻索要夺我的命。”（王上十九10）以利亚在神面前控告以色列人。主不喜悦这事，便回答说，“但我在以色列中为自己留下了七千人，都是未曾向巴力屈膝，未曾与巴力亲嘴的。”（18）不要去主那里，在祂面前控告别人。反之，你该对祂说，“主，既然你未见罪孽，我也不愿看见任何罪孽。所有的‘地鼠’和‘蝎子’都是禾捆，我爱他们。”

　　然而，这不容易作到。你会以为我在教你说谎，……但谁是对的，是你还是神？梦又如何？你若看见了属天的梦，那么你就看见在神的眼光中，祂的子民都是满了生命的禾捆，为要出产食物，作素祭满足神和人（创世记生命读经，一六八八至一六九○页）。

　　If we do not have experience, we shall not be able to understand the word in the Bible regarding Joseph's dream of the sheaves. When you first come into the church life, you may say,”How wonderful the church life is! The brothers and sisters are all marvelous! How I love the church!” However, the more you love the church and care for the saints, the more”gophers,”“turtles,” and”scorpions” you will see. Then you will say,”…Lord, the situation in the church is pitiful….” At such a time you need a heavenly dream. When the dream comes, the Lord will tell you,”You are not any better, and the others are not worse than you. You are all sheaves of life in Me. There are no ‘gophers,' ‘scorpions,' or ‘turtles' among My people. All are sheaves full of life.” If I had not seen such a heavenly dream, I would have quit long ago. But I have seen the dream. I have seen that I am a sheaf and that all those who in my eyes are”gophers” are sheaves also.

　　Years ago, I prayed many accusing prayers to the Lord; I reported to Him the evils I had seen. In my prayers I said,”Lord, I have given up my job and consecrated my life and my future for this work. But, Lord, look at this people!” Eventually, however, the dream came, and the Lord said to me, ‘You are not better than they. At the most, you are just a sheaf, and, at the worst, they also are sheaves.” At the beginning I was troubled and argued with the Lord, saying,”Lord, You are not thorough. You are superficial. Don't You see their heart?” But the Lord said,”I don't look at them from your view. I see them from My view. In the New Jerusalem there are no ‘gophers' and ‘scorpions.'”

　　Elijah complained against Israel saying,”The children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your altars, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life” (1 Kings 19:10). Elijah was accusing Israel before God. Being displeased with this, the Lord replied, ‘Yet I have left Myself seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed unto Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him” (1 Kings 19:18). Do not go to the Lord in the way of accusing others before Him. Instead, you should say to Him,”Lord, since You see no iniquity, I do not choose to see any either. All the ‘gophers' and ‘scorpions' are sheaves, and I love them.”

　　However, this is not easy to do. You may even think that I am teaching you to lie….But who is right—God or you? And what about the dream? If you have seen the heavenly dream, then you have seen that in God's view all His people are sheaves full of life to produce food for the meal offering to satisfy God and man. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 1415-1416)
