纲目
二 但以理和他的同伴若吃那些食物，就是接受玷污，接受偶像，因而与撒但成为一—参林前十19~21。 |
B For Daniel and his companions to eat that food would have been to take in the defilement, to take in the idols, and thus to become one with Satan— cf. 1 Cor. 10:19-21. |
三 当但以理和他的同伴拒绝吃尼布甲尼撒不洁的食物，而拣选吃蔬菜时（但一8~16），原则上，他们就是拒绝善恶知识树（参创三1~6），而接受生命树，使他们与神成为一（参二9、16~17）。 |
C When Daniel and his companions refused to eat Nebuchadnezzar's unclean food and chose instead to eat vegetables (Dan. 1:8-16), in principle they rejected the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (cf. Gen. 3:1-6) and took the tree of life, which caused them to be one with God (cf. 2:9, 16-17). |
四 主的恢复乃是恢复吃耶稣，为着建造召会—9、16~17节，启二7、17，三20。 |
D The Lord's recovery is the recovery of the eating of Jesus for the building up of the church—vv. 9, 16-17; Rev. 2:7, 17; 3:20. |
五 我们能借着吃主的话，并借着谨慎接触那清心呼求主的人，且同他们在一起，而吃耶稣—耶十五16，提后二22，林前十五33，箴十三20。 |
E We can eat Jesus by eating His words and by being careful to contact and be with those who call on Him out of a pure heart—Jer. 15:16; 2 Tim. 2:22; 1 Cor. 15:33; Prov. 13:20. |
叁 但以理和他的同伴胜过那阻止人看见那大人像以及那砸人的石头（就是人类历史中的神圣历史）之鬼魔的蒙蔽—但二： |
Ⅲ Daniel and his companions were victorious over the devilish blinding that prevents people from seeing the great human image and the crushing stone as the divine history within human history—Dan. 2: |
一 团体的基督（石头和山），也就是新郎和新妇，有神的气之团体的属神之人，要用祂口中的气，就是剑，砸碎并击杀敌基督和他的军队—34~35、44~45节，帖后二8，启十九11~21，创十一4~9，参赛三三22。 |
A The corporate Christ as the stone and the mountain, the Bridegroom with His bride, the corporate man of God with the breath of God, will crush and slay Antichrist and his armies by the breath, the sword, of His mouth—vv. 34-35, 44-45; 2 Thes. 2:8; Rev. 19:11-21; Gen. 11:4-9; cf. Isa. 33:22. |
二 基督是神建筑的宝贵活石、基石、房角石和顶石，以祂自己的宝贵灌注我们，好把我们变化为宝贵的活石，为着祂的建造—彼前二4~8，赛二八16，亚三9，四7、9~10。 |
B Christ, as the living and precious stone, foundation stone, cornerstone, and topstone of God's building, infuses us with Himself as the preciousness to transform us into living and precious stones for His building—1 Pet. 2:4-8; Isa. 28:16; Zech. 3:9; 4:7, 9-10. |
晨兴喂养
但一8 但以理却立定心意，不以王的膳和王所饮的酒玷污自己，所以求太监长容他不玷污自己。 16 于是委办撤去派定他们用的膳、饮的酒，只给他们蔬菜吃。 王自己所用的膳食是玷污人的、不洁的，因为曾献给尼布甲尼撒的诸神。但以理和他的同伴若吃那些食物，就是接受玷污，接受偶像，因而与撒但成为一。他们若这样作，神就失败了，在这地上就没有什么能为着神自己〔但一10〕和神的权益了。这样撒但就能夸口说，“神啊，你已经完全失败了。在这地上，你已经没有什么可以代表你，也没有什么可以与你成为一了。”神在祂选民身上已经失败了。现今如果他们被掳的后裔，年轻的一代，也跟随他们先祖的脚踪，神就要完全失败了。然而但以理和他的同伴是为着神的；他们紧紧联于神，忠心持守神，因着接受神而与神是一。 吃尼布甲尼撒自己所用的膳食，就是接受撒但作我们的供应而与撒但成为一。我担心你们会去吃今日的尼布甲尼撒所供应给你们，他所用的膳食。我们在饮食、购物、所到之处、所行的事上必须谨慎，否则很可能接受与偶像有关、属鬼的事物。我们吃什么，就是什么。我们若吃属神的食物—就是说，我们若吃“神食物”，神作我们的食物—我们就与神是一了（但以理书生命读经，一二至一三页）。 |
Dan. 1:8 But Daniel set his heart not to defile himself with the king’s choice provision and with the wine that the king drank, so he requested of the leader of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. 16 Therefore the steward withheld their portion of the choice provision and the wine that they were to drink and gave them vegetables. The choice food was defiling, not clean, for it had been offered to Nebuchadnezzar’s gods. For Daniel and his companions to eat that food would have been to take in the defilement, to take in the idols, and thus to become one with Satan. If they had done this, God would have been finished and would have had nothing on earth for Himself and His interest. Then Satan could have boasted and said, “God, You have been completely defeated. You have nothing on earth to represent You and to be one with You.” God had been defeated in His elect. Now if their descendants in the captivity, the younger generation, had followed in the steps of their fathers, God would have been fully defeated. But Daniel and his companions were for God. They were attached to God, they cleaved to God, and they were one with God because they took God in. To eat Nebuchadnezzar’s choice food is to take Satan as our supply and to become one with Satan. I am concerned that you may be eating the choice food provided for you by today’s Nebuchadnezzar. If we are careless in our eating, in our shopping, in where we go, and in what we do, we may take in something related to idols, something demonic. We are what we eat. If we eat godly food—that is, if we eat God-food, God as our food—we will be one with God. (Life-study of Daniel, p. 10) |
信息选读
〔在但以理一章里，我们首先看见〕一个人物，就是争战得胜的将军尼布甲尼撒，他刚从耶路撒冷回到巴比伦，带着许多俘虏跟在后面。第二，我们看见被掳的人中有四个卓越的年轻 人。第三，这几个年轻人特别从被掳的人中选上，有王自己所用的膳食摆在他们面前。第四，他们立定心志为着神，拒吃王膳，只吃蔬菜。然而，他们四个长得非常可爱、快乐并健康。结果，神与他们同在，他们有神的智慧、聪明，能领会事情，胜过迦勒底的一切术士十倍（但以理书生命读经，三七至三八页）。 启示录二至三章有主耶稣直接写给众召会的七封书信。每封书信的末了都有应许。……这些应许不但是为着将来，也是为着今天。……当然，我们将来要吃生命树，因为启示录二十二章这样告诉我们，但我们今天也能享受生命树。圣经有个原则，凡是将来有全享的，我们今天就有预尝。今天我们能吃生命树、隐藏的吗哪和筵席。 全本圣经在吃以产生建造的事上，是何等的一贯。甚至创世记二章也有吃生命树的启示。……主的恢复乃是恢复吃耶稣，为着建造召会。这不仅是为着今世，也是为着永世。……我们需要吃耶稣以长大，被变化，并被建造在一起。这样我们就会有召会的建造。 借此，主要使祂关于召会建造的预言得应验。这预言乃是借着吃耶稣得应验。……吃保守一，吃建造人。你若是分裂的，就指明你在吃的事上是错了。你若在吃的事上是正确的，你必然会被联结，甚至去联结人。你会成为被建造，也建造别人的人。主要何时建造祂的召会？现在！主要如何建造祂的召会？借着我们吃耶稣！（李文集一九七二年第三册，六四二至六四三、六四七页）。 参读：李文集一九五七年第三册，转移时代的人，第一至三章。 |
[In Daniel 1 we first see] the figure of a fighting, overcoming general, Nebuchadnezzar, who has just returned from Jerusalem to Babylon with many captives following behind him. Second, we see four brilliant young men among the captives. Third, these young men are specially chosen from among the captives and then presented with the king’s choice food. Fourth, they set their hearts to keep themselves for God, and they reject the royal food and eat vegetables only. Nevertheless, the four become very pleasant, happy, and healthy. Then as a result, God’s presence, wisdom, and insight are with them, and they can understand things ten times better than all the others in Nebuchadnezzar’s realm. (Life-study of Daniel, pp. 33-34) In Revelation 2 and 3 there are seven epistles directly from the Lord Jesus to the churches. At the end of each epistle there is a promise…These promises are not only for the future but also for today…Surely we will eat the tree of life in the future, because Revelation 22 tells us so, but we can also enjoy the tree of life today. The Bible has a principle that whatever will be there as the full taste, we have today as the foretaste. We can eat of the tree of life, the hidden manna, and the feast today. The entire Bible is [consistent] with the matter of eating to produce the building. Even in Genesis 2 there is the revelation of eating the tree of life… The Lord’s recovery is the recovery of the eating of Jesus for the building up of the church. This is not only for this age but also for eternity…We need to eat Jesus to grow, to be transformed, and to be built together. Then we will have the building of the church. By this way the Lord is going to fulfill His prophecy regarding the building up of the church. This prophecy is fulfilled by eating Jesus…Eating keeps the oneness. Eating builds up. If you are divisive, that means you are wrong in the matter of eating. If you are right in the matter of eating, surely you will be united and even uniting. You will be the ones who are built and who are building others. When will the Lord build His church? Now! How will the Lord build His church? By our eating Jesus!
