诗二四7 众城门哪，你们要抬起头来；永久的门户啊，你们要被举起；荣耀的王将要进来。

　　启三20　 看哪，我站在门外叩门；若有听见我声音就开门的，我要进到他那里，我与他，他与我要一同坐席。

　　 诗篇二十四篇三节问：“谁能登耶和华的山，谁能站在祂的圣所？”答案是基督和祂的众弟兄。召会是主今天所占有的一座山，作为主回来的踏脚石、桥头堡。地是属主的，但今天地被篡夺了；然而在这被篡夺的地上有一个地点，有一座山，是主再来取得全地的踏脚石。

　　我们是锡安山，必须开门让基督进来〔7〕。……大卫将约柜抬回锡安的时候，……在那种背景、那种情况里写了诗篇二十四篇。锡安在哪里，众城门和门户也在哪里。……约柜是基督的预表。约柜进来就预表基督进来（李文集一九六九年第三册，六一至六二页）。

　　Psa. 24:7 Lift up your heads, O gates; and be lifted up, O long enduring doors; and the King of glory will come in.

　　Rev. 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me.

　　Psalm 24:3 asks, “Who may ascend the mountain of Jehovah, / And who may stand in His holy place?” The answer is, Christ and His brothers. The church is a mountain that is occupied by the Lord today as the very steppingstone, the beachhead, for the Lord to come back. The earth is the Lord’s, but today the earth is usurped; yet in this usurped earth there is a spot, a mountain, that is the steppingstone for the Lord to return to take the whole earth.

　　As the mountain of Zion, we must have our doors open that Christ may come in [cf. v. 7]... At the occasion of David’s returning the Ark to Zion,... David wrote Psalm 24. Zion was there, and the gates and doors were there... The Ark was the type of Christ. The Ark coming in typified Christ coming in. (CWWL, 1969, vol. 3, “Christ and the Church Revealed and Typified in the Psalms,” pp. 45-46)

　　启示录三章二十节……指明，甚至有些地方召会也把主耶稣关在门外。不要以为只要我们是地方召会，主耶稣就在我们中间。一面说，祂是在我们中间，但另一面说，祂可能被关在门外。甚至今天，我们这样享受主同在的时候，仍必须说，“众城门哪，你们要抬起头来；永久的门户啊，你们要被举起。”〔诗二四7〕我们都必须向主这样敞开。如果今天基督不能充分、完全地进入召会，基督怎能回到地上？如果召会，就是锡安，不能完全向祂敞开，我们怎能盼望地向祂敞开？所以今天我们必须回应说，“是

　　 的，要打开门户，让我们都向祂大大敞开。主啊，进来，哦，进来！在你回到地上以前，先进到召会中，进来完全占有这座小山，占有锡安山。”（李文集一九六九年第三册，六二页）

　　我们都必须努力达到这高峰。你若以为这高峰太难达到，所要付的代价太高了，你就必须预备好，来世的代价更高。你迟早都要被作成神，或是在召会时代，或是在要来的国度时代。……新耶路撒冷乃是被变化、得荣耀并与经过过程、终极完成之三一神调和的神人。圣城将是一个调和，作神的扩增和彰显，直到永远。我们要享受并有分于这神圣的调和，直到永远。

　　我们的确需要拼上去，不惜代价地祷告，像使徒保罗那样付代价。……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？在启示录这卷书中，主所要得着的，并主所要建造的，乃是锡安，就是得胜者。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。保罗的著作把这事揭示到极致。

　　保罗说，在场上赛跑的都跑，但得奖赏的只有一人。他又说，我们都当这样跑，好叫我们得着奖赏（林前九24）。保罗一生终了时说，他已经打过美好的仗、跑尽赛程并守住信仰；他见证有公义的冠冕为他备妥（提后四7~8）。盼望我们今生终了时，能说我们也作了同样的事（李文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册，一七二至一七三页）。

　　参读：诗篇中所启示并预表的基督与召会，第五章。

　　Revelation 3:20... indicates that even some of the local churches shut the Lord Jesus outside. Do not imagine that as long as we are the local church, the Lord Jesus is among us. In a sense He is, but in another sense He may be shut out. Even today, while we are enjoying the Lord’s presence so much, we still must say, “Lift up your heads, O gates; / And be lifted up, O long enduring doors” [Psa. 24:7]. We all must be so open to the Lord. If Christ could not come in to the church today in an adequate and fuller way, how could Christ come back to the earth? If the church, if Zion, is not absolutely open to Him, how can we expect the earth to be open to Him? So today we must respond and say, “Yes, open the doors; let us all open widely to Him. Come in, O come in, Lord! Before You come back to the earth, come in to the church, come in to fully possess this little mountain, the mountain of Zion.” (CWWL, 1969, vol. 3, “Christ and the Church Revealed and Typified in the Psalms,” p. 46)

　　We all have to endeavor to reach this high peak. If you think it is too hard to reach this high peak and that the price to pay is too high, be prepared. In the next age the price will be higher. Sooner or later, you have to be made God, either in the church age or in the coming kingdom age... The New Jerusalem is the God-men who have been transformed, glorified, and mingled with the processed and consummated Triune God. The holy city will be a mingling to be God’s increase and expression for eternity. We will enjoy and participate in this divine mingling for eternity.

　　We surely need to be desperate to pray at any cost and to pay the cost just as the apostle Paul did. 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? In the book of Revelation what the Lord wants and what the Lord will build up 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. Paul’s writings unveil this to the uttermost.

　　Paul said that all run in the race, but only one receives the prize. Then he said that we should run in such a way to receive the reward (1 Cor. 9:24). At the end of Paul’s life he said that he had fought the good fight, finished the course, and kept the faith. He testified that there was a crown of righteousness prepared for him (2 Tim. 4:7-8). I hope that when we end this life, we could say that we have done the same thing. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “The Practical Points concerning Blending,” pp. 139-140)
