罗八28~30 “还有，我们晓得万有都互相效力，叫爱神的人得益处，就是按祂旨意被召的人。因为神所预知的人，祂也预定他们模成神儿子的形像，…又叫他们得荣耀。”

　　〔圣经〕传达了一个属天的异象，这异象该指引我们的步伐，控制我们的生活，并且将我们带进神的终极完成里。这异象能保守我们在神的经纶里，使我们过召会生活，以达到千年国与新耶路撒冷为目标。

　　这种从神而来的异象将一直指引我们的步伐，并控制我们的生活。即使在旧约里，也是如此；那里告诉我们，没有异象，民就放肆。（箴二九18上。）我们在属天的异象之下，受指引朝向神的目的地，并且我们的生活是受神的经纶所控制。…因着我们看见这异象，所以我们虽然遭受苦难、毁谤、与各种的艰难，也能一直往前。

　　这异象成为一个原则，指引我们的步伐，并管制我们的路。…我们走这条路，因为我们被神经纶的异象抓住了。因着我们看见这异象，这些年来，属天的光源源不断的照射到主的恢复里。这光临到我们，因为我们在这异象之下。每当我们来到神的话中，光就照耀，因为我们是在这指引、控制并管制的异象里。（马可福音生命读经，五一三至五一四页。）

　　Rom. 8:28-30 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son;…these He also glorified.

　　[The Bible] conveys a heavenly vision, a vision that should direct our steps, control our living, and bring us into God’s consummation. This vision is able to keep us in God’s economy so that we may live the church life with the goal of reaching the millennium and the New Jerusalem.

　　Such a vision from God will always direct our steps and control our living. This was true even in the Old Testament, where we are told that without vision the people will perish (Prov. 29:18a). Under the heavenly vision we are directed toward God’s destination, and our life is controlled according to God’s economy. Because we have seen [this vision], we can press on in spite of suffering, defamation, and all kinds of trouble.

　　This vision has become the principle that directs our steps and that governs our way….We take this way because we have been caught by the vision of God’s economy. Because we have seen this vision, throughout the years heavenly light has been flooding into the Lord's recovery. The reason for this light is that we are under this vision. Whenever we come to the Word of God, the light shines because we are in this directing, controlling, governing vision. (Life-study of Mark, pp. 452-453)

　　我们在主的恢复里必须对神的经纶有清楚的异象，然后我们需要被这异象管治、控制并指引。因着我看见了这异象，并受其指引，历年来我从来没有改变我的腔调。我知道我所看见的是什么，我知道我所教导的是什么，我也知道我供应给主子民的是什么。我们若有神经纶的异象，自然会只有一个拣选、爱好、口味和职事。我们会只在意包罗万有、延展无限的基督，以及真正、正确的召会生活。今天我们在主的恢复里，在神的经纶、神永远旨意的异象上，必须刚强，不可摇动。因着保罗看见了这异象，并忠于这异象，他就能非常刚强。我们都需要这样刚强并稳固。（哥林多前书生命读经，一六七页。）

　　借着我们的配搭与合作，神就要完成祂永远的心意，使基督借着诸天的掌权，成为居首位的。…表面上，以色列的定命是在人类政权，就是列国的权势手中。实际上，以色列的定命是在那拣选他们，并以属天权柄管治一切人类政权之神的经纶里。人类政权乃是开始于巴比伦，由尼布甲尼撒所代表，也要结束于巴比伦，由敌基督所代表。

　　在神圣的经纶里，基督是神行动的中心与普及；祂被钉十字架，了结整个旧造，并借着祂的复活，使新造有新生的起头；祂是神选民所珍赏、盼望之超越并宝贵的一位；祂也要从神得着永远的国，并要显现出来，将整个人类政权从脚趾到头砸碎，并成为神扩大的国，充满全地。

　　在祂神圣的经纶里，神要成全以色列作祂的祭司，并预备祂受造且得复兴（不是得重生）的列国，作祂的百姓。除了在祂的经纶显明部分的这个结果之外，在祂神圣经纶的隐藏部分里，神要完成建造召会作基督的身体，成为神君尊的家，好在新天新地里作王管治。至终，在永世里，神要在祂永远的国里得着祂的君王、祭司和子民，直到永远。（但以理书生命读经，九○至九二、一三一至一三二页。）

　　We in the Lord’s recovery must have a clear vision of God’s economy. Then we need to be governed, controlled, and directed by this vision. Because I have seen this vision and am directed by it, I have never changed my tone throughout the years. I know what I have seen, I know what I am teaching, and I know what I am ministering to the Lord’s people. If we have the vision of God’s economy, we shall automatically have only one choice, preference, taste, and ministry. We shall care only for the all-inclusive and all-extensive Christ and for the genuine and proper church life. Today we in the Lord’s recovery must be strong and unshakable in the vision of God’s economy, God’s eternal will. Because Paul had seen this vision and was faithful to it, he could be very strong. We all need to be strong and steadfast in this way. (Life-study of 1 Corinthians, p. 138)

　　Through our coordination and cooperation, God will consummate His eternal intention to make Christ preeminent through the rule of the heavens. Apparently, the destiny of Israel is in the hands of the human government, the power of the nations. Actually, the destiny of Israel is in the economy of the God who has chosen them and who rules over all the human government with the heavenly authority. The human government began with Babylon, represented by Nebuchadnezzar, and will end also with Babylon, represented by Antichrist.

　　Christ is the centrality and universality of God’s move in the divine economy. Christ was crucified to terminate the old creation and germinate through His resurrection the new creation. He is the excellent and precious One in the appreciation and expectation of God’s chosen people. He will receive the eternal kingdom from God and appear to end and smash all the human government from its toes to its head and become the enlarged kingdom of God throughout the whole earth.

　　In His divine economy God will perfect Israel to be His priests, and He will prepare His created and restored (not regenerated) nations to be His people. In addition to this result of the manifested part of His economy, in the hidden part of His divine economy God will complete the building up of the church as the Body of Christ to be God’s royal family to rule as kings in the new heaven and new earth. Eventually, in eternity in His eternal kingdom God will have His kings, His priests, and His people forever. (Life-study of Daniel, pp. 78, 113- 114)
