启十四1 我又观看，看哪，羔羊站在锡安山上，同祂还有十四万四千人，额上都写着祂的名，和祂父的名。

　　　二一16 城是四方的，……天使用苇子量那城，共有一万二千斯泰底亚，长宽高都相等。

　　今天在召会时代，被成全并得成熟的神人乃是锡安，就是得胜者，也就是召会中的活力排。但在新天新地，就不再有锡安，只有新耶路撒冷，因为一切原来不够格的圣徒，那时都已够格成为锡安。换句话说，整个新耶路撒冷都要成为锡安。什么是锡安？锡安就是神所在之处，也就是至圣所。在启示录二十一章有一个表号，表征新耶路撒冷将是至圣所。新耶路撒冷的量度是个立方体的量度，长一万二千斯泰底亚，宽一万二千斯泰底亚，高一万二千斯泰底亚（16）。那就是至圣所；因为在旧约里，不论在帐幕或圣殿中，至圣所都是立方的，其长、宽、高都相等（出二六2~8，王上六20）。

　　要达到这高峰，除了祷告以外，别无他路。耶路撒冷在此是一个大的范围，包括所有的基督徒，这是非常明显的；然而，锡安，就是得胜者，在哪里？……得胜者就是锡安，就是神所在之处。这是神圣言中属灵启示的内在实际。我们必须领悟什么是主的恢复；主的恢复就是要建造锡安（关于相调的实行，四七、四九页）。

　　Rev. 14:1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him a hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.

　　21:16 And the city lies square…. And he measured the city with the reed to a length of twelve thousand stadia; the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

　　Today in the church age, the God-men who were perfected and matured are Zion, the overcomers, the vital groups within the churches. But in the new heaven and new earth there will be no more Zion, only Jerusalem, because all the unqualified saints will have been qualified to be Zion. In other words, the entire New Jerusalem will become Zion. What is Zion? Zion is the very spot where God is, that is, the Holy of Holies. In Revelation 21 there is a sign signifying that the New Jerusalem will be the Holy of Holies. Its dimensions are the dimensions of a cube, twelve thousand stadia long, twelve thousand stadia wide, and twelve thousand stadia high (v. 16). That is the Holy of Holies, because the Holy of Holies in the Old Testament in both the tabernacle and the temple was a cube, equal in length, breadth, and height (Exo. 26:2-8; 1 Kings 6:20).

　　There is no other way to reach this high peak except by praying. It is more than evident that Jerusalem is here as a big realm of Christians, but where is Zion, the overcomers?…The overcomers are the very Zion, where God is. This is the intrinsic reality of the spiritual revelation in the holy Word of God. We have to realize what the Lord’s recovery is. The Lord’s recovery is to build up Zion. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “The Practical Points concerning Blending,” pp. 138-140)

　　锡安是圣城召会的高峰、中心、高举、加强、丰富和实际。在一个地方召会里如果没有得胜者，那个召会就像耶路撒冷没有锡安一样。……一个地方召会必须有一些得胜者，这些得胜者是那个地方召会的高峰和中心。他们是那个地方召会的高举、加强、丰富和实际。如果你从那个地方召会拿走了这些得胜者，那个地方召会就变成像瘪气的轮胎一样（活力排的训练与实行，三六页）。

　　耶路撒冷是预表召会的，其中有一座锡安山〔预表得胜者〕。……耶路撒冷是大的，锡安是小的。耶路撒冷的保障是在锡安。论合乎神的心意的，就称为锡安。论犹太人的失败和罪恶，就称为耶路撒冷。……耶路撒冷有新的，锡安却没有新的。因为锡安从来不会旧。旧约每次说到锡安和耶路撒冷的关系，都叫我们看见，耶路撒冷的特色、生命、祝福、建立，都是来自于锡安。王上八章一节：长老是在耶路撒冷，约柜是在锡安。诗篇五十一篇十八节：神按祂的美意善待锡安，建造耶路撒冷的城墙。诗篇一百零二篇二十一节：耶和华的名是在锡安传述，赞美祂的话是在耶路撒冷传述。……诗篇一百三十五篇二十一节：耶和华是住在耶路撒冷，却是从锡安受颂读。以赛亚四十一章二十七节：话先对锡安说，然后报给耶路撒冷。约珥书三章十七节：神住在锡安时，耶路撒冷就成为圣。

　　神今日在失败的召会中，寻找那十四万四千人，他们将要站立在锡安山上（启十四）。神每次都是借少数的信徒，把生命流到召会里，以复兴召会（倪柝声文集第一辑第十一册，一二五至一二六页）。

　　Zion is the high peak, the center, the uplifting, the strengthening, the enriching, and the reality of the church, the holy city. If there are no overcomers in a local church, that church is like Jerusalem without Zion…. A local church must have some overcomers, and these overcomers are the peak and the center of that local church. They are the uplifting, the strengthening, the enriching, and the reality of that local church. If you take away these overcomers from that local church, that local church becomes like a flat tire. (CWWL, 1993, vol. 2, “The Training and the Practice of the Vital Groups,” pp. 274-275)

　　Jerusalem typifies the church. Within Jerusalem, there was Mount Zion [typifying the overcomers]….Jerusalem is large, while Zion is small. The stronghold of Jerusalem is Zion. Whenever there is something that has to do with God’s heart desire, Zion is mentioned. Whenever there is something that has to do with the failures and sins of the Jews, Jerusalem is mentioned….There is a New Jerusalem, but there never will be a new Zion, because Zion can never become old. Every time the Old Testament speaks of the relationship between Zion and Jerusalem, it shows us that the characteristics, the life, the blessing, and the establishment of Jerusalem come from Zion. In 1 Kings 8:1, the elders were in Jerusalem, and the Ark of the Covenant was in Zion. Psalm 51:18 says that God did good to Zion and built the walls of Jerusalem. Psalm 102:21 says that the name of the Lord was in Zion and that His praise was in Jerusalem….Psalm 135:21 says that the Lord dwelt at Jerusalem but that the Lord was to be blessed out of Zion. In Isaiah 41:27 the word was first announced to Zion and then preached to Jerusalem. Joel 3:17 says that when God dwelt in Zion, Jerusalem would be holy.

　　Today God is looking for the one hundred and forty-four thousand amidst the defeated church, who will stand on Mount Zion (Rev. 14). God always uses a small number of believers to pass on the flow of life to the church and to revive the church. (CWWN, vol. 11, pp. 762-763)
