但二34~35 你观看，见有一块非人手凿出来的石头，打在这像半铁半泥的脚上，把脚砸碎。　……打碎这像的石头，变成一座大山，充满全地。

　　伯四二5~6 我从前风闻有你，现在亲眼看见你。因此我厌恶自己，在尘土和炉灰中懊悔。

　　〔但以理二章三十一至四十五节的〕大人像表征全人类历史中人类政权的集大成（31~33），从人类政权开始于示拿地的巴别（创十6~12），就是巴比伦，即人像的头所表征的，到人类历史中人类政权终结于罗马帝国同其十王，即大人像的十个脚指头所表征的。

　　大人像的定命就是被一块非人手凿出来的石头，在其显出时砸碎（但二34~35上、44下~45，七13~14）。这块非人手凿出来的石头就是基督。……借着祂的钉十字架，祂被治死而被凿（徒二23）；在祂的复活里，祂首先被凿成为房角石以建造召会，再成为砸人的石头以毁灭全部人类政权（24，太二一42、44下）（但以理书生命读经，一八、二○页）。

　　Dan. 2:34-35 You were watching until a stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the image at its feet of iron and clay and crushed them…And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

　　Job 42:5-6 I had heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye has seen You; therefore I abhor myself, and I repent in dust and ashes.

　　This great image [in Daniel 2:31-45] signifies the aggregate of human government throughout human history (vv. 31-33), from the beginning of human government in Babel (Babylon) in the land of Shinar (Gen. 10:6-12), as signified by the head, to the termination of human government in human history in the Roman Empire with the ten kings, as signified by the ten toes.

　　The destiny of the great human image is to be crushed by a stone cut out without hands, at its appearing (Dan. 2:34-35a, 44b-45; 7:13-14). This stone cut out without hands is Christ. Through His crucifixion He was cut by being put to death (Acts 2:23), and in His resurrection He was cut out to be, first, the cornerstone for the building up of the church and the crushing stone to destroy the totality of human government (v. 24; Matt. 21:42, 44b). (Life- study of Daniel, pp. 14, 16)

　　当基督这块非人手凿出来的石头显现时，祂就把大人像从脚趾到头，砸得粉碎。这就是说，祂要击打十王连同敌基督〔启十九〕。……同着基督的乃是由得胜者所组成，祂新娶的新妇；同着敌基督的乃是十王和他们的军队。这战争乃是地对抗天，人反对神的争战。基督要打败并毁灭敌基督和十王。

　　当基督这砸人的石头来临时，祂不是单独地来，乃是同着祂的新妇而来。……在祂的婚娶之后，祂要来到，同时要作砸

　　人的石头，并作踹酒醡的那位（15，十四19~20，赛六三2~3）。敌基督要聚集大批邪恶、背叛的人围绕耶路撒冷，这就预备了“葡萄”，给基督来踹“酒醡”。……敌基督甚至夸称自己就是神（帖后二4，但十一36），并在美地和地中海中间，支搭帐幕给自己享受（45）。那时基督这块神所凿出来的石头要同着祂的新妇来临，击打人像的脚指头，把它从脚趾到头毁灭。这样，人类政权就被砸碎而了结。……大人像要被一座大山所顶替，这山表征神的国，要充满全地（二35下、44上）。这就是说，基督来临砸碎人类政权的集大成以后，祂就带进神在地上永远的国（但以理书生命读经，二○至二二页）。

　　“我从前风闻有你，现在亲眼看见你。因此我厌恶自己，在尘土和炉灰中懊悔。”（伯四二5~6）这指明约伯在个人经历上（在他凭传统的虚空知识对神的认识之外）得着神，并厌恶自己。

　　看见神等于得着神（太五8）。得着神就是在神的元素、生命和性情上接受神。至终，这使我们不仅与神合为一，更成为神的一部分。……我们看见神，使我们被神构成，但无分于祂的神格。

　　所有蒙神救赎、重生、圣别、变化、模成且荣化的人，都要见神的面（启二二4）。看见神使我们变化（林后三18），因为我们看见神时，就把祂的元素接受到我们里面。当我们接受神，就有新的元素进到我们里面，旧的元素也被排除了。这新陈代谢的过程就是变化。看见神就是被变化成为神荣耀的形像，使我们成为神的一部分，使我们得以在神的生命里彰显神，并在祂的权柄里代表祂（约伯记生命读经，一八五至一八六页）。

　　At His appearing as the stone cut out not by human hands, Christ will crush the great image from the toes to the head. This means that He will strike the ten kings with Antichrist [Rev. 19]…With Christ there will be His newly married bride, composed of the overcomers, and with Antichrist there will be the ten kings with their armies. This war will be a fighting of the earth against the heavens, of man against God. Christ will defeat and destroy Antichrist and the ten kings.

　　When Christ comes as the smiting stone, He will not come alone. Rather, He will come with His bride…After His wedding He will come both as the smiting stone and as the One who will tread the winepress (v. 15; 14:19-20; Isa. 63:2-3). Antichrist will gather a vast number of evil, rebellious human beings around Jerusalem, thus preparing the “grapes” to be trodden in the “winepress” by Christ…Antichrist will even go so far as to say that he is God (2 Thes. 2:4; Dan. 11:36), and for his enjoyment will set up his tent between the good land and the Mediterranean Sea (v. 45). Then Christ as the God-cut stone will come with His bride to strike the toes of the image, destroying it from the toes to the head. In this way, human government will be crushed and terminated. The great human image will be replaced with a great mountain, signifying the eternal kingdom of God, which will fill the whole earth (2:35b, 44a). This means that after Christ comes to crush the aggregate of human government, He will usher in the eternal kingdom of God on earth. (Life-study of Daniel, pp. 16-18)

　　“I had heard of You by the hearing of the ear,/But now my eye has seen You;/Therefore I abhor myself, and I repent/In dust and ashes” (Job 42:5-6). This indicates that Job gained God in his personal experience (in addition to knowing God in his vain knowledge by tradition) and that he abhorred himself.

　　Seeing God equals gaining God (Matt. 5:8). To gain God is to receive God in His element, in His life, and in His nature. Eventually, this not only makes us one with God—it even makes us a part of God…We see God that we may be constituted with God, yet we do not have any share in the Godhead.

　　All of God’s redeemed, regenerated, sanctified, transformed, conformed, and glorified people will see God’s face (Rev. 22:4). Seeing God transforms us (2 Cor. 3:18), because in seeing God we receive His element into us. As we receive God, a new element comes into us, and the old element is discharged. This metabolic process is transformation. To see God is to be transformed into the glorious image of Christ, the God-man. This makes us a part of God that we may express God in His life and represent Him in His authority. (Life- study of Job, pp. 151-152)
