九 “流荡的星”是那些未稳固地定在属天启示不变的真理上,反倒在那些像星一样的神子民中流荡;我们要成为为着神见证的稳定的星,就必须提防七种损毁召会的人—犹12~13、19,参林前三17: |
I The "wandering stars" are those who are not solidly fixed in the unchanging truths of the heavenly revelation but are wandering about among God's starlike people; in order to be stable stars for God's testimony, we must beware of the seven kinds of people who are a damage to the church—Jude 12-13, 19; cf. 1 Cor. 3:17: |
1 当神的圣所(预表成肉体的基督支搭帐幕在地上,作神的居所—约一14)被亵渎,当美地(表征赐给神子民的基督,连同祂一切的丰富和恩典—西一12)变荒凉,当犹大家(表征召会—来三6)被迁徙离去时,亚扪人甚为高兴;他们表征那些恨基督,恨神的恩典,并恨召会的人—结二五3。 |
1 Ammon was happy when God's sanctuary (typifying the incarnated Christ tabernacling on earth as God's dwelling place—John 1:14) was desecrated, when the good land (signifying Christ with all His riches and grace given to God's people—Col. 1:12) was desolated, and when the house of Judah (signifying the church—Heb. 3:6) went off into exile; the Ammonites signify those who hate Christ, the grace of God, and the church—Ezek. 25:3. |
2 摩押人乐于看见犹大家不再与列国有分别;因此,摩押人表征那些想要把召会拖去与世界联结,并使召会与列国一样的人—8节,启二12。 |
2 The Moabites were happy to see that the house of Judah was no longer separated from the nations; thus, they signify those who desire to bring the church into an association with the world and to make the church the same as the nations—v. 8; Rev. 2:12. |
3 以东人是雅各的哥哥以扫的后裔,因此,以东和以色列众子是堂兄弟(创三六1);以东表征未重生的旧人,以色列表征重生的新人(罗六6,加六16,腓三3);以东对以色列充满了恨,不断找机会报仇雪恨—结二五12。4 非利士人住得非常靠近美地,甚至与以色列人调在一起;非利士人预表热心宗教者天然的人;“以东人”和“非利士人”对召会生活造成最大的伤害—15节,林前三12、16~17。 |
3 The Edomites were the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob, and thus the cousins of the sons of Israel (Gen. 36:1); Edom signifies the unregenerated old man, and Israel signifies the regenerated new man (Rom. 6:6; Gal. 6:16; Phil. 3:3); Edom was full of hatred toward Israel, continually seeking revenge and vengeance—Ezek. 25:12. |
5 推罗预表寻求属世财富,不关心神权益的人—结二六2,二八12~15,参王上七13~14。 |
4 The Philistines lived very close to the good land and even mingled with the Israelites; they typify the natural man of the religious people; the "Edomites" and the "Philistines" cause the most damage to the church life—v. 15; 1 Cor. 3:12, 16-17. |
6 西顿向以色列家乃是刺人的荆棘和使人痛苦的蒺藜;推罗和西顿可视为一组,指明信徒若爱世界,并在意属世的财富,他们就会成为荆棘和蒺藜,破坏召会生活,阻挠在召会,即神的耕地里生命的生长—结二八21、24,太十三22,林前三9,参启十八13。 |
5 Tyre typifies those who are seeking worldly wealth and do not care for God's interests—Ezek. 26:2; 28:12-15; cf. 1 Kings 7:13-14. |
7 埃及是不倚靠神,只倚靠自己资源的国家;埃及人代表向神独立的人,他们运用天然的智慧,发展自己天然的资源以致资财丰富,也成为别人供应的来源—结二九2~9,参出四1~9。 |
6 Sidon was a pricking briar and a painful thorn to the house of Israel; Tyre and Sidon are considered a pair, indicating that if the believers love the world and care for worldly riches, they will become briars and thorns that damage the church life, frustrating the growth of life in the church as God's cultivated land—Ezek. 28:21, 24; Matt. 13:22; 1 Cor. 3:9; cf. Rev. 18:13. |

林前三12 然而,若有人用金、银、宝石,木、草、禾秸,在这根基上建造。 16~17 岂不知你们是神的殿,神的灵住在你们里面么?若有人毁坏神的那殿,神必要毁坏这人,因为神的那殿是圣的,你们就是这殿。 一颗正当的星有一定的位置和固定的轨道。它是一直坚定在它的轨道上。但有些星没有固定的位置和轨道,它们是流荡的星。……你若是跟随他们,你就被带迷路了;到头来你都不知道要往哪里去。……他们没有立场,没有立足点,没有确定的路与主一同往前去。他们今天这样说,明天又那样说。……要当心!我们永远无法借着跟随一颗流荡的星来寻得耶稣(李文集一九七○年第一册,三九二页)。 |
信息选读
以西结二十五至三十二章说到围绕以色列国的七国。……这七国分为三组。头四国—亚扪、摩押、以东、非利士—形成第一组;推罗、西顿是第二组;埃及单独是一组。 亚扪人……高兴三件事:圣所被亵渎,美地变荒凉,犹大家被迁徙离去。这指明他们恨圣所、圣地和犹大家。……按照预表说,……圣所表征基督,美地表征在基督里神一切丰富的恩典,犹大家表征召会。今天的亚扪人恨这三件事;他们恨基督,恨在基督里神的恩典,并且恨召会。 摩押人说,“看哪,犹大家与列国无异。”(二五8)……这表征有一种人喜欢把召会拖去与世界联结,喜欢使召会与列国一样。以东人是雅各的哥哥以扫的后裔。因此,在血缘上,以东和以色列的众子是堂兄弟。以东表征旧人;他表征作为旧人的我们。我们未重生的旧人是以东;我们重生的新人是以色列。就一面的意义,我们可以说,我们的旧人和我们的新人是“堂兄弟”,因为他们彼此是很近的。 根据以西结书的记载,以东对以色列充满了恨,不断找机会报仇雪恨。我们在我们的旧人里就是这样。我们的旧人恨召会。……你岂没有发现,你是两个人?一面,你是真以色列人,宝爱召会;另一面,你也是真以东人,恨恶召会。有时候你爱召会和所有带领的人,但有时候你恨召会和所有的长老。 推罗预表寻求属世财富的人,他们想要赚钱致富。为了买卖,他们愿意牺牲一切与主有关的事。他们不顾主的权益,只顾自己的资财、富有和买卖。 我们看〔见有〕七种破坏召会生活的人。有些是反对召会,厌恨基督、神的救恩和神恩典的。这些人是“亚扪人”。另有些人偷进召会,想要把召会拖去与世界联结,使召会与世界一样。这些人是“摩押人”。然后有“以东人”,就是旧人,和“非利士人”,就是天然的人。“推罗人”寻求世界的财富,“西顿人”因着寻求富有,成了召会的荆棘和蒺藜。最后还有“埃及人”,他们向神是独立的,寻求属世的财富,发展自己的资源以致资财丰富,也成为别人供应的来源。这些不同的人,都能破坏召会生活。我们都必须受警惕,好叫我们没有一人成为这七班人(以西结书生命读经,二○三至二○七、二○九、二一一页)。 参读:以西结书生命读经,第十五至十六篇。 |
1 Cor. 3:12 But if anyone builds upon the foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, grass, stubble. 16-17 Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for the temple of God is holy, and such are you. A proper star has a certain position and fixed orbit. It continues in its course steadfastly. However, there are some stars with no fixed position or orbit; they are wandering stars…If you follow them, you will be misled; eventually, you will not know where to go…They have no ground; they have no standing; they have no certain way to go on with the Lord. Today they say one thing, and tomorrow they will say something different…We need to be careful. We cannot find Jesus by following a wandering star. (CWWL, 1970, vol. 1, “New Testament Service,” p. 292) |
