启十一15 ……世上的国,成了我主和祂基督的国,祂要作王,直到永永远远。 十二10 ……我们神的救恩、能力、国度、并祂基督的权柄,现在都来到了,因为那在我们神面前昼夜控告我们弟兄们的控告者,已经被摔下去了。 启示录十一章十五节……指明神审判这地之后,这地就要被神接管而归还给神,使基督在这地上在祂的国里作王,直到永远。……主要在千年国和新天新地作王,直到永远(二二5)。……我们也要与祂一同作王(提后二12)。所有的得胜者要与基督一同作王一千年(启二十4、6);所有得救的人将要在永世里作王,直到永远(二二5下)(新约总论第十四册,二一○页)。 |
Rev. 11:15 …The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever. 12:10 …Now has come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ, for the accuser of our brothers has been cast down, who accuses them before our God day and night. Revelation 11:15…indicates that after God’s judgment upon the earth, the earth will be taken over by and returned to God so that Christ will reign in His kingdom on the earth forever and ever…The Lord’s reigning [is] in the millennial kingdom and in the new heaven and new earth for eternity (22:5)… We will also reign with Him (2 Tim. 2:12). All the overcomers will reign with Christ for a thousand years (Rev. 20:4, 6), and all the saved ones will reign forever and ever in eternity (22:5b). (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 4291) |

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)。在吹……第七号的时候,不只大灾难要结束,这世代也要结束,神的奥秘要完成(启十7),另一世代,就是国度世代(千年国)要来到,达一千年之久。当国度时代来到,全地将是基督的国。 今天这地是在撒但统治下属世的国。但日子将到,主这位王要收复这世界。启示录十一章十五节……所说的“世上”,就是马太五章五节里温柔的人所要承受的地土。 唯有基督是这地合法的所有人。祂在十字架上付了代价,买回全地,好使国度有一日能建立在地上(十三44)。每一寸 地土都属于基督。我们不同意地的任何一部分归属他人。所有其他的人都是篡窃者;基督是独一的所有人。此外,祂要回来取得这地(启十1~2)。……无论我们旅行到何地,我们都需要学习宣告说,“这是我主的产业,现今暂时被仇敌篡窃,但有一日,我主要来取得属于祂的事物。”迟早世上的国要成为我主和祂基督的国。 启示录十一章十五节说,“祂要作王,直到永永远远。”二十二章五节说,信徒“要作王,直到永永远远”。作王直到永远,是神所救赎的人在永世里最终的福分。这个作王乃是我们现今借着洋溢之恩并洋溢之义的恩赐,在生命中作王所得永远生命的结果,是荣耀、永远、团体的终极完成。这就是我们在新天新地中所要永远享受的福分。我们要作王辖管列国,直到永永远远。 我们需要记得我们是王家的成员,是君尊家庭的众王;甚至我们在餐厅吃饭时,也应当记得我们是君王在那里吃饭。我们乃是有属天出生的君王。因此,绝不该卖掉我们君尊的身分。我们若看自己是君王,就不会轻率地作事、随便地谈话或卑鄙地为人。我们甚至可以用这样的观点传福音。我们可以告诉人,我们乃是君王。然后我们可以开始传福音,说,“圣经告诉我,我既是神的儿女,我就是王。”传福音有很多方法,我们需要这种有活力的福音传扬。 在永世里,作为神众子和新耶路撒冷构成成分的信徒,都要作王。天使要作服事者(来一13~14),服事我们。他们是王家的仆人,而我们是辖管列国的王。这就是在永世里神的国(新约总论第十四册,二一○至二一一、三八六至三八七页)。 参读:新约总论,第四百二十一、四百三十三篇。 |
After Christ executes His judgment upon the nations at His coming back, the kingdom of the world will become the kingdom of Christ (Dan. 7:13- 14; 2:44-45). At the sounding of the seventh trumpet, not only will the great tribulation come to an end, but also this age will be closed, the mystery of God will be finished (Rev. 10:7), and another age, the age of the kingdom, will come for a millennium, a thousand years. When the age of the kingdom arrives, the entire earth will be the kingdom of Christ. Today the earth is a worldly kingdom under the rule of Satan. But the day is coming when the Lord, as the King, will regain this world…The world spoken of in Revelation 11:15 is the earth that the meek will inherit in Matthew 5:5. Christ alone is the proper Owner of the earth. He paid the price on the cross to purchase the entire earth so that one day the kingdom would be established on it (13:44). Every inch of this earth belongs to Christ. We do not agree that any part of the earth belongs to anyone else. All others are usurpers; Christ is the unique Owner. Moreover, He is coming back to take possession of the earth (Rev. 10:1-2)…Wherever our travels may take us, we need to learn to declare, “This is my Lord’s property. Temporarily it is usurped by the enemy, but one day my Lord will come to claim what is His.” Sooner or later, the kingdom of the world will become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ. Revelation 11:15 says, “He will reign forever and ever.” In Revelation 22:5 we are told that the believers “will reign forever and ever.” To reign forever will be the final blessing to God's redeemed in eternity. This reigning is an issue, a glorious, eternal, corporate consummation of our present reigning in life through the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness unto eternal life. This is a blessing we will enjoy for eternity in the new heaven and the new earth. We will be kings over the nations, reigning forever. We need to remember that we are members of the royal family, kings of the kingly family. Even when we are at a restaurant, we should remember that we are kings eating there. We are heaven-born kings; hence, we should never sell our royal status. If we consider that we are kings, we would not act lightly, talk loosely, or behave meanly. We can even preach the gospel with this in view. We may tell others that we are kings. Then we may start our preaching of the gospel by saying, “The Bible tells me that, as a child of God, I am a king.” There are many ways to preach the gospel. We need this kind of vital preaching of the gospel. In eternity the believers as sons of God and as the constituents of the New Jerusalem will all be kings. The angels will be serving ones (Heb. 1:13-14), serving us. They are the servants of the royal family, and we are kings over the nations. This is the kingdom of God in eternity.
