启三11~12 我必快来，你要持守你所有的，免得有人夺去你的冠冕。得胜的，我要叫他在我神殿中作柱子，他也绝不再从那里出去……。

　　二一22 我未见城内有殿，因主神全能者和羔羊为城的殿。

　　（启示录三章十二节）里的得胜者，要成为建造在神殿中的柱子。他既建造在神的建筑里，就绝不再从那里出去。这应许要在千年国成就，作得胜者的奖赏。在非拉铁非召会中得胜，不是指去得什么，或去胜过什么别的，乃是要持守我们在主的恢复里所已经领受的，直到末了。你若这样作，主就叫你在神殿中作柱子。这使我们回想创世记二十八章雅各的梦。雅各从梦中醒来后，就把所枕的那块石头立作柱子，为着神的建造。……这个原则在今天完全相同。主立了许多石头在祂的恢复里作柱子。……一块石头一旦被立作柱子建造在建筑里，就绝不会被挪去，因为已经建造上去了。……你若被建造在殿中作柱子，就是你要离去也不可能（启示录生命读经，二三一至二三二页）。

　　Rev. 3:11-12 I come quickly; hold fast what you have that no one take your crown. He who overcomes, him I will make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall by no means go out anymore…

　　21:22 And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

　　[In Revelation 3:12] the overcomer will be made a pillar built into the temple of God. Because he is built into God’s building, “he shall by no means go out anymore.” This promise will be fulfilled in the millennial kingdom as a prize to the overcomer. To overcome in the church in Philadelphia is not to get anything or to overcome other things; it is to keep what we have received in the Lord’s recovery to the end. If you do this, the Lord will make you a pillar in God’s temple. This reminds us of Jacob’s dream in Genesis 28. After Jacob had that dream, he set up the stone which he had used for a pillow to be a pillar. That pillar was for God’s building…. The principle is exactly the same today. The Lord has set up a good number of stones to be pillars in His recovery…. Once a stone has been set as a pillar into the building, it can never be removed, for it has been built in…. If you have been built into the temple as a pillar, you could not leave even if you wanted to. (Life-study of Revelation, pp. 193-194)

　　主变化我们，就是带走我们天然的元素，并以祂神圣的素质顶替之，借此叫我们作柱子。所以，启示录三章十二节里“叫”的意思，就是将我们构成一样东西，以创造的方式构造我们。在今天的召会生活中，主正在将我们作成、构成神殿中的柱子。主在召会里的工作，乃是将祂自己作到我们里面，作神圣的水流，带走我们天然的所是，并以祂的本质顶替之，使我们借着祂变化的元素逐渐经过过程。因着这变化的工作，我们就成为神殿中的柱子。

　　启示录三章十二节告诉我们，得胜者要在来世神的殿中作柱子。然而，二十一章二十二节说到来世和永世里的新耶路撒冷：“我未见城内有殿，因主神全能者和羔羊为城的殿。”这里我们看见，在新耶路撒冷里，三一神自己要成为殿。这就是说，得胜者在殿中作柱子，意思就是他们要在三一神里作柱子。这包含与三一神调和，并由祂构成。这是一个奥秘。

　　甚至在今天的召会生活中，得胜的圣徒也是在三一神里的柱子。不仅如此，这些圣徒有时会感觉到召会实际上不是别的，乃是三一神。这事实由金灯台是召会的象征所指明（一12、20）。不仅如此，灯台是三一神的具体化身和彰显。灯台的金表征父的性情；形状表征基督是神的具体化身和形像；七灯表征那灵是彰显。因此，灯台是三一神的具体化身，也是召会的象征。所以实际上，召会就是三一神，这样说并不为过，因为灯台是召会，也是三一神的具体化身。现今我们能看见，今天召会里的柱子，就是在三一神里的柱子。在来世，这些得胜的信徒要在神殿中作柱子；神的殿就是神自己。由此我们看见，作成柱子包含三一神与忠信的得胜者调和，并构成到他们里面（新约总论第五册，一八五至一八六页）。

　　The Lord makes us pillars by transforming us, that is, by carrying away our natural element and by replacing it with His divine essence. Therefore, the meaning of make in Revelation 3:12 is to constitute us into something, to construct us in a creative way. In the church life today the Lord is making us, constituting us, into pillars in the temple of God. The Lord’s work in the church is to work Himself into us as the divine flow to carry away our natural being and replace it with His substance that we may be gradually processed by His transforming element. As the result of this transforming work, we become pillars in the temple of God.

　　Revelation 3:12 tells us that the overcomers will be pillars in the temple of God in the coming age. However, Revelation 21:22, speaking of the New Jerusalem in the coming age and in eternity, says, “I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.” Here we see that in the New Jerusalem the Triune God Himself will be the temple. This means that for the overcomers to be pillars in the temple means that they will be pillars in the Triune God. This involves being mingled with the Triune God and constituted of Him. This is a mystery.

　　Even in today’s church life, the overcoming saints are pillars in the Triune God. Furthermore, these saints sometimes have the consciousness that the church is actually nothing other than the Triune God. This fact is indicated by the golden lampstands as a symbol of the church (Rev. 1:12, 20). Furthermore, the lampstand is the embodiment and expression of the Triune God. The gold of the lampstand signifies the nature of the Father; the form signifies Christ as the embodiment and image of God; and the seven lamps signify the Spirit as the expression. Therefore, the lampstand is the embodiment of the Triune God and also a symbol of the church. Hence, it is not too much to say that, in actuality, the church is the Triune God, because the lampstand is the church and also the embodiment of the Triune God. Now we can see that the pillars in the church today are pillars in the Triune God. In the coming age these overcoming believers will be pillars in the temple of God, which is God Himself. From this we see that being made a pillar involves the Triune God being mingled with and constituted into the faithful overcomers. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 1215-1216)
