启十九7 “我们要喜乐欢腾，将荣耀归与祂；因为羔羊婚娶的时候到了…。” 9 “…凡被请赴羔羊婚筵的有福了。又对我说，这是神真实的话。” 在启示录十九章六节大批群众的声音宣告说，“阿利路亚！因为主我们的神，全能者，作王了。”神的掌权，就是国度，与羔羊的婚娶有关，羔羊的婚娶乃是神新约经纶完成的结果。神新约的经纶是要借着祂的救赎和神圣的生命，为基督娶得一个新妇，就是召会。借着圣灵历世以来不断地作工，到这世代结束时，这目标必然达到。那时，新妇，就是得胜的信徒，要预备好，神的国也要来到。 婚礼要带进主的掌权，就是国度，因为所有被请赴婚礼的宾客既是团体的新妇，又是与新郎一同作王的人。新郎要得着全地作祂的国度，当然就需要许多附属的王与祂一同作王。所有与祂一同作王的人就是祂团体的新妇。 虽然你会得救，但你若要得着国度为奖赏，就必须是个得胜者。对得胜者来说，在基督的国度里与祂一同掌权，就是婚筵。（启示录生命读经，七三三至七三四页。） |
Rev. 19:7 Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come… 9 … Blessed are they who are called to the marriage dinner of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true words of God. In Revelation 19:6 the voice of the great multitude proclaims, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns!” The reign of God, the kingdom, is related to the marriage of the Lamb, and the marriage of the Lamb is the issue of the completion of God’s New Testament economy. God’s economy in the New Testament is to obtain for Christ the bride, the church, through His redemption and divine life. By the continual working of the Holy Spirit through all the centuries, this goal will be attained at the end of this age. Then the bride with the overcoming believers will be ready. Simultaneously, the kingdom of God will come. The wedding will bring in the reign of the Lord, the kingdom, because all the guests invited to the wedding will be both the corporate bride and the co-kings of the Groom. The Bridegroom, who will take the whole earth as His kingdom, certainly needs many sub-kings to be His co-kings. All His co-kings will be His corporate bride. Although you may be saved, you must become an overcomer in order to receive the kingdom as your reward. For the overcomers, reigning with Christ in His kingdom will be the wedding feast.

无疑的，启示录十九章必会完全应验。不仅如此，我们相信今天这应验就在进行的过程中。耶路撒冷既已归还给以色列，主耶稣的再来应该也不远了。然而，新妇是无法急促预备好的。这个预备是一个渐进的工作，需要有一段的时间。主必然正在地上作工，来预备祂的新妇。…有人也许说，新妇预备的工作是在天主教、公会、独立团体里属灵的人当中。照这种眼光来看，基督再来的时候，祂将聚集所有这些属灵的人，把他们作成祂的新妇。然而，这不是主的路。祂不是来收集那些要构成新妇的人，祂乃是要来把已经预备好的新妇献给自己。我相信这个预备与团体建造的工作有关。那些构成新妇的人不仅生命要成熟，他们也必须建造在一起，成为一个新妇。所以，我坚信主是在祂恢复里的人中间预备祂的新妇。 我的负担是要我们都看见，主的恢复不是另一个基督教的运动，或是一种普通的基督教工作。恢复里的工作乃是主真正的工作，为要预备祂的新妇。我信在要来的年日里，会有更多忠信寻求主的人转到祂恢复的路上。他们会看见，在任何别的地方，他们都得不着里面的印证。当我们转到主恢复的路上时，我们里面深深的觉得，主在我们所走的这条路上加上祂的印记。主在祂恢复里首要的工作，不是将福音传遍全地，乃是预备祂的新妇。 主的目的不是要复兴整个基督教。主在祂的恢复里，正在呼召那些爱祂并对祂忠信的余民。祂正发出呼召要胜过基督教的堕落，使许多寻求祂的人，可以预备作祂的新妇。主在这件事上正在往前，我们也与祂一同往前。我们能活在这个时代，真是何等的权利！（以弗所书生命读经，九六六至九六八页。） 参读：启示录生命读经，第五十四篇；新约圣经中奇妙的基督，第七至八章。 |
There is no doubt that Revelation 19 will be completely fulfilled. Furthermore, we believe that the process of fulfillment is taking place today. Since Jerusalem has been restored to the nation of Israel, the coming back of the Lord Jesus should not be far off. The bride, however, cannot be prepared quickly. This preparation is a gradual work that takes place over a period of time. Certainly the Lord must be doing a work on earth to prepare His bride…. Some may say that the work of preparing the bride is among the spiritual ones in Catholicism, the denominations, and the independent groups. According to this view, Christ will gather together all these spiritual ones and form them into His bride at the time of His coming. However, this is not the Lord’s way. He is not coming to collect those who will constitute the bride; He is coming to present to Himself the bride who has already been prepared. This preparation, I believe, involves the work of building corporately. Those who make up the bride must not only be mature in life; they must also be built together as the one bride. Therefore, I firmly believe that the Lord is preparing His bride among those in His recovery. I am burdened that we would all realize that the Lord’s recovery is not another Christian movement or an ordinary Christian work. The work in the recovery is the Lord’s genuine work to prepare His bride. I believe that in the years to come, more of those who seek the Lord faithfully will turn to the way of His recovery. They will realize that nowhere else do they have the inward confirmation. When we turned to the way of the Lord's recovery, we had the sense deep within that the Lord had put His seal on the way we are taking. The primary work of the Lord in His recovery is not to preach the gospel throughout the earth; it is to prepare His bride. The Lord’s intention is not to revive Christianity as a whole. In His recovery, He is calling out a remnant of those who love Him and who are faithful to Him. He is sending out the call to overcome the degradation of Christianity so that a number of those who seek Him may be prepared as His bride. In this matter, the Lord is moving on, and we are going on with Him. What a privilege to be alive in this age!
