启十一15 第七位天使吹号，天上就有大声音说，世上的国，成了我主和祂基督的国，祂要作王，直到永永远远。

　　二十6　 在头一次复活有分的有福了，圣别了，第二次的死在他们身上没有权柄；他们还要作神和基督的祭司，并要与基督一同作王一千年。

　　基督回来审判列国之后，世上的国就成了基督的国（但七13~14，二44~45）（圣经恢复本，启十一15注3）。

　　主要作王，直到永永远远〔启十一15〕，指主要在千年国和新天新地作王，直到永远（二二5）。这指明第七号包括新天新地同新耶路撒冷（启十一15注4）。

　　Rev. 11:15 And the seventh angel trumpeted; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.

　　20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

　　The kingdom of the world becomes the kingdom of Christ at His coming back after He executes His judgment upon the nations (Dan. 7:13-14; 2:44-45). (Rev. 11:15, footnote 3)

　　The Lord’s reigning forever and ever [v. 15] is the Lord’s reigning in the millennial kingdom and in the new heaven and new earth for eternity (22:5). This indicates that the seventh trumpet includes the new heaven and new earth with the New Jerusalem. (Rev. 11:15, footnote 4)

　　以弗所五章五节说到基督和神的国。基督的国是千年国（启二十4、6，太十六28），也是神的国（十三41、43）。信徒已经重生进入神的国（约三5），今天是在召会生活中，活在神的国里（罗十四17）。并不是所有的信徒，都能有分于千年国；只有得胜的才能有分。凡是污秽、失败的，来世在基督和神的国，即千年国里都得不到基业。

　　在国度是基督和神的国这一面，基督与神一同掌权。也可以说，基督作为神掌权。所以，这是基督的国，同时也是神的国。

　　彼后一章十一节说到“进入我们主和救主耶稣基督永远的国”。这里永远的国，指所赐给我们主和救主耶稣基督之神的国

　　 （但七13~14），就是要在祂回来时显现的（路十九11~12）。这国要作赏赐，赐给那些追求在祂生命里长大以致成熟，并发展祂性情之美德的忠信信徒，使他们在千年国时能有分于祂在神荣耀里的君王职分（提后二12，启二十4、6）。这样进入主永远的国，与进入神永远的荣耀有关；这荣耀就是祂在基督里呼召我们所到达的（彼前五10，帖前二12）。

　　基督和神的国，我主和祂基督的国，以及我们主和救主耶稣基督永远的国—这三者都是国度的同一面，这一面论到基督与神国的关系。基督已经借着祂的死，用祂的血救赎了召会，使其在召会时代成为神的国（罗十四17），并在千年国时成为我主和祂基督的国（启十一15）。这我主和祂基督的国，要成为我们主和救主耶稣基督永远的国（彼后一11），主要在其中作王，直到永永远远。

　　基督和神的国，我主和祂基督的国，以及我们主和救主耶稣基督永远的国，包括来世的千年国，与永世的新天新地，不包括召会时代。为这缘故，国度的这一面对神而言不像神爱子的国那样可喜悦；因为国度的这一面，主要的是指神的权柄。

　　基督和神的国，……是基督从神所得着，并借基督的来临所带进的国（路十九12、15上，但七13~14，二34~35、44，来一8）（新约总论第八册，四一至四三页）。

　　Ephesians 5:5 speaks of the kingdom of Christ and of God. The kingdom of Christ is the millennium (Rev. 20:4, 6; Matt. 16:28); it is also the kingdom of God (Matt. 13:41, 43). The believers have been regenerated into the kingdom of God (John 3:5) and are, in the church life, living in the kingdom of God today (Rom. 14:17). Not all believers will participate in the millennium; only the overcoming ones will. The unclean, defeated ones will have no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God in the coming age.

　　In the aspect of the kingdom as the kingdom of Christ and of God, Christ reigns with God. We may also say that Christ reigns as God. Hence, it is the kingdom of Christ and at the same time also the kingdom of God.

　　Second Peter 1:11 speaks of “the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” The eternal kingdom here refers to the kingdom of God given to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Dan. 7:13-14), which will be manifested at His coming back (Luke 19:11-12). It will be a reward to His faithful believers, who pursue the growth in His life unto maturity and the development of the virtues of His nature so that they may participate, in the millennium, in His kingship in God’s glory (2 Tim. 2:12; Rev. 20:4, 6). To enter thus into the eternal kingdom of the Lord is related to the entrance into God’s eternal glory, to which He has called us in Christ (1 Pet. 5:10; 1 Thes. 2:12).

　　The kingdom of Christ and of God, the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ—all three are the same one aspect of the kingdom, the aspect which concerns Christ’s relationship with the kingdom of God. Christ has redeemed the church with His blood through His death that it may become the kingdom of God in the church (Rom. 14:17) and the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ in the millennium (Rev. 11:15). This kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ will become the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in which He shall reign forever and ever (Rev. 11:15).

　　The kingdom of Christ and of God, the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ comprise the millennium in the coming age and the new heaven and new earth in eternity; they do not comprise the church age. For this reason, this aspect of the kingdom is not as much a delight to God as the kingdom of the Son of His love, because this aspect of the kingdom refers mainly to God’s authority.

　　The kingdom of Christ and of God... is the kingdom received by Christ from God and brought back by Christ’s coming (Luke 19:12, 15a; Dan. 7:13-14; 2:34-35, 44; Heb. 1:8). (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 2584-2586)
