壹 神的渴望乃是结束这个时代，并带进国度时代；要作这事，祂必须得着时代的凭借： |
Ⅰ God’s desire is to end this age and bring in the age of the kingdom; in order for God to accomplish this, He must have His dispensational instrument: |
一 我们都该仰望主并祷告，使我们对神有时代的价值；我们必须自问要作什么以结束这时代，并带进下一个时代—国度时代；这是一个特别的时候，所以需要特别的基督徒来作特别的工作。 |
Ａ All of us should look to the Lord and pray that we will have dispensational value to God; we need to ask ourselves what we are doing to close this dispensation and to bring in the next age, the kingdom age; this is a special time, so there is the need of special believers to do a special work. |
二 凡只能说“去”而不能说“来”的人，是没有效用的，也就是说，他们对神没有时代的价值—参来十22： |
Ｂ Those who can only say, “Go,” but not “Come,” will have no effect; that is, they will have no dispensational value to God — cf. Heb. 10:22: |
１ 希伯来书的著者不是要信徒前去，而是要他们前来；这意思是说，著者已经在某一个地方，现在要他的读者也前来进入他所在之处。 |
１ The writer of Hebrews did not tell the believers to go forward but to come forward; this means that the writer was in a particular place and that he wanted his readers to come forward to the place where he was. |
２ 我们要前来达到三者：到至圣所，到施恩的宝座，到神自己这里；不要退缩，乃要前来—四16，十22，七25，十一6。 |
２ We need to come forward to three things: to the Holy of Holies, to the throne of grace, and to God Himself; do not shrink backward — come forward — 4:16; 10:22; 7:25; 11:6. |
３ 神是在施恩的宝座上，施恩的宝座是在至圣所里；著者写希伯来书时，是在至圣所里，他呼召希伯来信徒前来进入其中。 |
３ God is on the throne of grace, and the throne of grace is in the Holy of Holies; at the time of the writing of the book of Hebrews, the writer was there in the Holy of Holies, calling the Hebrew believers to come forward. |
三 男孩子被提到天上，撒但被摔到地上，以及天上宣告国度来到了，表明神得着男孩子，乃是祂最大的时代行动，因为这要结束召会时代，引进国度时代—启十二5、9~10，十一15。 |
Ｃ The rapture of the man-child to heaven, the casting of Satan to earth, and the declaration in heaven that the kingdom has come signify that God’s gaining of the man-child is His greatest dispensational move because it brings an end to the church age and introduces the kingdom age — Rev. 12:5, 9-10; 11:15. |
四 男孩子被提到神的宝座，将是在一千二百六十天之前，一千二百六十天就是三年半（四十二个月）的大灾难时期—十二1~14，十三5，十一2。 |
Ｄ The rapture of the man-child to the throne of God will be before the one thousand two hundred and sixty days, which is the time of the great tribulation of three and a half years (forty-two months) — 12:1-14; 13:5; 11:2. |
五 我们活在这时代是最享特权的，我们能为神作得最多；神是光，要使我们看见道路，但内住的基督作我们的力量和能力，要使我们能行走这道路；要被神使用，就必须付极大的代价—三18。 |
Ｅ We live in the most privileged time in which we can do the most for God; God as light will show us the way, but the indwelling Christ as our strength and power will enable us to walk the road; a great price must be paid in order to be used now — 3:18. |

启十二5 妇人生了一个男孩子，是将来要用铁杖辖管万国的；她的孩子被提到神和祂的宝座那里去了。 来十22 并且在心一面，我们已经被基督的血洒过，脱开了邪恶的良心，在身体一面，也已经用清水洗净了，就当存着真诚的心，以十分确信的信，前来进入至圣所。 照着圣经来看，女人的后裔要伤仇敌的头。创世记三章女人的后裔主要的是指主耶稣，但得胜者在这后裔里也有分。女人的后裔包括召会，特别是得胜者。虽然主伤了撒但的头，但他仍然在作工。女人的后裔要伤撒但的头，这事的应验可见于启示录十二章的男孩子。那独一的得胜者包括了所有的得胜者（10~11）（译自“圣洁没有瑕疵”英文版附录）。 |
Rev. 12:5 And she brought forth a son, a man-child, who is to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne. Heb. 10:22 Let us come forward to the Holy of Holies with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. According to the Bible, the seed of the woman will bruise the head of the enemy. The seed of the woman in Genesis 3 primarily refers to the Lord Jesus, but the overcomers also have a part in this seed. The seed of the woman includes the church, especially the overcomers. Even though the Lord bruised Satan’s head, he is still at work. The fulfillment of the seed of the woman bruising Satan can be seen in the man-child in Revelation 12. The only Overcomer includes all the overcomers (vv. 10-11). (CWWN, vol. 34, “The Glorious Church,” p. 153) |
信息选读
当神对某一件事的态度改变时，祂就有一个时代的行动。每一个时代的行动都带进神的新路。神最重要的时代行动是在启示录十二章。祂要结束这个时代，带进国度时代。……祂怎样才能结束这个时代，带进另一个时代？祂必须得着祂时代的凭借。这就是神今天所要作的。 男孩子的被提结束召会时代并引进国度时代。男孩子使神能有所行动。……我们绝不该忘记，神是能被限制的。在祂一切的行动中，祂等候人。神在天上的捆绑是基于我们在地上的捆绑；神在天上的释放是基于我们在地上的释放。每一件事都在于召会。 神的心意是要受造之物来对付堕落的受造之物。照着祂的定旨，全召会都该对付撒但；然而，召会堕落了，所以需要得胜者兴起来。神的定旨得以在得胜者身上成就，是因为他们与祂同工。我们在整本圣经都能看见得胜者的原则（译自“圣洁没有瑕疵”英文版附录）。 希伯来书的著者告诉我们要“来到（前来）”。……原文这辞在希伯来书里用过好几次：“来到施恩的宝座前”（四16），“前来进入至圣所”（十22），“来到神面前”和“到神面前来”（七25，十一6）。我们应当来到三个地方，就是到至圣所，到施恩的宝座，到神自己这里。不要退缩，乃要前来。……希伯来信徒……正处在退缩回去的危险。他们正在徘徊犹豫的时候，就有这封书信写给他们，勉励他们要前来。著者不是要他们前去，而是要他们前来。这意思是说，著者已经在某一个地方，现在要他的读者也前来进入他所在之处。……神在哪里？是在施恩的宝座上！施恩的宝座在哪里？是在至圣所里。著者写希伯来书时，是在至圣所里，他呼召希伯来弟兄们前来进入其中（希伯来书生命读经，四二八页）。 男孩子被提之后，妇人要受逼迫三年半。她许多其余的儿女要经过灾难，但神要保守他们。作得胜者主要的还不是为着逃避灾难。我们需要看见被提对主有什么价值，而不是对我们自己有什么价值。 男孩子的被提是一切时代行动中最大的，因为这行动除去人的能力和撒但的能力，把国度带进来。我们是活在最有特权的时期；我们能为神作得最多。光给我们看见道路，但力量和能力使我们能以走路。我们现今要被主使用，就必须付大的代价（译自“圣洁没有瑕疵”英文版附录）。 参读：希伯来书生命读经，第三十二篇。 |
When God changes His attitude toward a certain matter, He makes a dispensational move. Every dispensational move brings in God’s new way. His most important dispensational move is in Revelation 12. He wants to end this age and bring in the age of the kingdom…. How can He bring this age to a close and bring in another? He must have His dispensational instrument. This is what God wants to do today. The rapture of the man-child brings an end to the church age and introduces the kingdom age. The man-child enables God to move….We should never forget that God can be limited. He waits for man in all of His moves. God’s binding in heaven is based on our binding on earth; God’s loosing in heaven is based on our loosing on earth. Everything depends on the church. It is God’s desire that created beings would deal with fallen created beings. According to His purpose, the whole church should deal with Satan; however, the church has failed. Therefore, there is the need for the overcomers to rise up. God’s purpose is fulfilled in the overcomers because they work with Him. We can see the principle of the overcomers throughout the Word of God. (CWWN, vol. 34, “The Glorious Church,” pp. 153-154) The writer of Hebrews tells us to “come forward.”...This phrase... is used several times in Hebrews: “come forward... to the throne of grace” (4:16); “come forward to the Holy of Holies” (10:22); “come forward to God” (7:25; 11:6). We need to come forward to three things: to the Holy of Holies, to the throne of grace, and to God Himself. Do not shrink backward—come forward. The Hebrew believers were in danger of shrinking back. They were staggering and hesitating, and the book of Hebrews was written to encourage them to come forward. The writer did not tell them to go forward but to come forward. This means that the writer was in a particular place and that he wanted his readers to come forward to the place where he was….Where is God? He is on the throne of grace. Where is the throne of grace? It is in the Holy of Holies. At the time of the writing of this book, the writer was there in the Holy of Holies, calling the Hebrew brothers to come forward. (Life-study of Hebrews, p. 356) After the rapture the woman will be persecuted three and a half years. Many other of her children will go through the tribulation, but God will keep them. Being an overcomer is not primarily for escaping the tribulation. We need to see of what value the rapture is to the Lord, not to ourselves. Of all the dispensational moves, the man-child is the greatest because it removes man’s power and the devil’s power, and it brings in the kingdom. We live in the most privileged time; we can do the most for God. Light will show us the way, but strength and power will enable us to walk the road. A great price must be paid in order to be used now.
