诗二6 ……我已经立我的王在锡安我的圣山上了。 12 当以嘴亲子,恐怕祂发怒,你们便在路中灭亡,因为祂的怒气快要发作。凡投奔于祂的,都是有福的。 旧约中所陈明这幅神永远经纶表征的图画,包括了三十九卷书,但只有四部分:预表、历史、诗歌和申言。预表的部分有五卷书,从创世记到申命记。历史的部分有十二卷书,从约书亚记到以斯帖记。诗歌的部分有五卷书,从约伯记到雅歌。申言的部分有十七卷书,从以赛亚书到玛拉基书。……旧约三十九卷书可以分为三个“五”和两个“十二”;有五卷预表的书,十二卷历史的书,五卷诗歌的书,五卷大申言者的书,和十二卷小申言者的书。……我们要来看,旧约这四部分内在的意义(李文集一九九四至一九九七年第三册,八八至八九页)。 |
Psa. 2:6 But I have installed My King upon Zion, My holy mountain. 12 Kiss the Son lest He be angry and you perish from the way; for His anger may suddenly be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in Him. The figurative portrait of God’s eternal economy presented in the Old Testament spans thirty-nine books, but it is only in four sections—in types, in history, in poetry, and in prophecy. The section of types is of five books, from Genesis to Deuteronomy. The section of history is of twelve books, from Joshua to Esther. The section of poetry is of five books, from Job to Song of Songs. The section of prophecy is of seventeen books, from Isaiah to Malachi ...The thirty-nine books of the Old Testament can be divided into three “fives” and two “twelves.” There are five books of types, twelve of history, five of poetry, five of the major prophets, and twelve of the minor prophets... We want to see the intrinsic significance of these four sections of the Old Testament. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 3, “The Triune God’s Revelation and His Move,” p. 74) |

从创世记至申命记的预表,揭示三一神具体化身在基督里,作祂永远经纶的中心和圆周,也揭示这位基督作三一神选民的福分和一切。……从约书亚记至以斯帖记这十二卷历史书,揭示三一神在祂选民中的行动,使他们取得、承受并享受祂所应许包罗万有的基督作美地;也揭示祂选民的失败。……圣经记载这事,对我们今天这些在新约里召会中的人,乃是一个警告。 在旧约里,只有五卷诗歌:约伯记、诗篇、箴言、传道书和雅歌。这五卷诗歌揭示,三一神自己(不是伦理或道德)应当是 人所追求的,作人的完全。这一句话总括了约伯记中心、内在的启示。诗篇揭示,这位神化身成为一个在肉体里的人,作神的受膏者;祂是神所喜悦的,并且被神高举;祂该被神的选民接受、宝爱并高举。传道书揭示,在日光之下,人生的一切都是虚空的虚空,而雅歌给我们看见,基督作三一神的具体化身,乃是神选民唯一的满足。因此,我们应当追求神作我们的完全,也应当追求基督作我们的满足。神应当是我们的完全,基督应当是我们的满足。 从以赛亚书至玛拉基书这十七卷申言者书,揭示三一神具体化身在基督里,要来作神人(赛七14,九6),以完成救赎(五三),好按照旧约前面三类的各卷书,成就神永远的经纶;也揭示经过过程并终极完成之三一神在基督里的成就,要终极完成于新天新地(赛六五17,六六22,彼后三13,启二一1)。 以上各点向我们陈明一幅生动的图画,说到旧约中那在神永远经纶里,并为着神永远经纶之包罗万有的基督。在预表里我们看见,基督是神永远经纶的中心和普及,也是神所有选民的神圣福分。在历史里我们看见,包罗万有的基督是神所应许的美地,所有神的选民应当得着、取得、承受并享受这美地到极点,甚至达到作王的水平。在诗歌里我们看见,基督是神选民所要追求唯一的完全,也是神选民所要得着并享受唯一的满足。在申言者的申言里我们看见,三一神成了神人,以完成祂完全的救赎,好成就祂永远的经纶,要终极完成于新天新地(李文集一九九四至一九九七年第三册,八九至九一页)。 参读:三一神的启示与行动,第二至三篇。 |
The types from Genesis to Deuteronomy unveil the Triune God embodied in Christ as the center and circumference of His eternal economy. They also unveil this Christ as the blessing and everything to the Triune God’s chosen people. The twelve books of history from Joshua to Esther unveil the Triune God’s move in His chosen people to possess, inherit, and enjoy His promised all-inclusive Christ as the good land. They also unveil the failures of God’s chosen people... The record of this in the Bible is a warning to us, the church people today in the New Testament. The poetry in the Old Testament is of only five books: Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. They unveil that the Triune God Himself, not ethics or morality, should be man’s pursuit as his perfection. This one sentence covers the central, intrinsic revelation of Job. The Psalms unveil that this God was incarnated to be a man in the flesh to be His Anointed, who is His delight, who has been exalted by Him, and who should be received, treasured, and exalted by His chosen people. Ecclesiastes unveils that all things in the human life under the sun are vanity of vanities, and Song of Songs shows that Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God is the unique satisfaction to God’s chosen people. Thus, we should pursue God as our perfection, and we should pursue Christ as our satisfaction. The seventeen books of prophecy from Isaiah to Malachi unveil that the Triune God embodied in Christ will come to be the God-man (Isa. 7:14; 9:6) to accomplish redemption (ch. 53) for the fulfillment of God’s eternal economy according to the preceding three categories of the books in the Old Testament. They also unveil that the accomplishment of the processed and consummated Triune God in Christ will consummate in the new heaven and new earth (65:17; 66:22; 2 Pet. 3:13; Rev. 21:1). All the above points present a vivid portrait of the all-inclusive Christ in and for God’s eternal economy in the Old Testament. In types we see that Christ is the centrality and universality of God’s eternal economy and the divine blessing to all of God’s chosen people. In history we see that the all-inclusive Christ is the God-promised good land, which all of God’s chosen people should take, possess, inherit, and enjoy to the uttermost, even to the level of kingship. In poetry we see that Christ is the unique perfection for God’s chosen people to pursue and the unique satisfaction for God’s chosen people to obtain and enjoy. Then in prophecy we see that the Triune God has become a God-man to accomplish His full redemption for the fulfillment of His eternal economy, which will consummate in the new heaven and new earth.
