但二34~35 ……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。……成如……糠秕，被风吹散，无处可寻。打碎这像的石头，变成一座大山，充满全地。

　　这块非人手凿出来的石头〔但二34〕就是基督。……祂是神借着祂的钉死与复活所凿出来的。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）。

　　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。……启示录十九章说到基督与敌基督的争战。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。

　　按但以理二章〔三十四至三十五节上半〕，这争战要使整个人像从脚趾到头被砸得粉碎。……这表征从宁录到敌基督之整个人类政权的完全毁灭。所以，人类政权要在基督这块神所凿的石头显现时被了结（但以理书生命读经，二○至二一页）。

　　Dan. 2:34-35 …A stone was cut out without hands, and it struck the image at its feet of iron and clay and crushed them…And they became like chaff…; and the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

　　This stone cut out without hands is Christ…He was cut by God through His crucifixion and resurrection. 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).

　　At His appearing as the stone cut out not by human hands, Christ will crush the great image from the toes to the head…Revelation 19 speaks of the war between Christ and Antichrist. 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.

　　According to Daniel 2:34-35a, this will entail the crushing of the entire human image from the toes to the head…This signifies the complete destruction of all human government from Nimrod to Antichrist. Human government will therefore be terminated by Christ at His appearing as the God-cut stone. (Life-study of Daniel, pp. 16-17)

　　圣经启示基督是石头，有三方面的讲究。首先，对信徒而言，基督是他们所信靠的基石。以赛亚二十八章十六节论到基督作石头的这一面，说，“看哪，我在锡安放一块石头，作为根基，是试验过的石头，是宝贵的房角石，作为稳固的根基。”第二，对不信的犹太人而言，基督是绊脚的石头（八14，罗九33）。马太二十一章四十四节上半论到这一面说，“那跌在这石头上的，必要跌碎。”第三，对列国而言，基督将是砸人的石头。“这石头掉在谁身上，就要把谁砸得粉碎，簸散如糠秕。”（44下）但以理二章启示基督是砸人的石头，把大人像砸得粉碎，如同糠秕被风吹散（但以理书生命读经，二一页）。

　　借着祷读，我们把神的话接受到里面。通常，当我们说到接受神的话到我们里面时，我们是以话为滋养。……滋养的话是为着建造我们，而杀死的话乃是为着对付仇敌。按〔以弗所六章〕的上下文，我们祷读主的话，主要的不在于接受滋养，乃在于经历剑作杀死的凭借。我们越祷读话，就越经历话的杀死能力。

　　剑是军装中唯一用作攻击的，也就是说，剑是神的军装中唯一用来攻击仇敌的。你也许不明白，这与我们主观经历话的杀死能力有什么关系。我们要明白这事，就必须看见，在属灵的争战里，我们不仅需要对付客观的仇敌，更需要对付主观的对头。撒但不只是我们外面的仇敌，也是我们里面的对头。……仇敌从外面来的攻击，不如对头从里面来的攻击严重。要对付这个里面的对头，我们需要经历话的杀死能力。不错，仇敌是在我们外面，但他的元素是在我们这人的所是里面。……因着仇敌把他自己注射到我们的所是里，我们所需要的，乃是话的杀死能力应用到我们身上，来对付仇敌在我们里面的元素。……在我们的经历中，最终我们会明白，最棘手的仇敌乃是己。己是我们最厉害的仇敌。我们许多次受试诱，都不是由于客观的仇敌，乃是由于己，就是我们自己内里的所是（以弗所书生命读经，九八七至九八八页）。

　　The Bible reveals that Christ is a stone in three aspects. First, to the believers Christ is the foundation stone in whom they trust. Concerning this aspect of Christ as a stone, Isaiah 28:16 says, “Indeed I lay a stone in Zion as a foundation, / A tested stone, / A precious cornerstone as a foundation firmly established.” Second, to the unbelieving Jews Christ is the stumbling stone (8:14; Rom. 9:33). Regarding this aspect, Matthew 21:44a says, “He who falls on this stone shall be broken to pieces.” Third, to the nations Christ will be the smiting stone. “On whomever it falls, it shall crush him to powder and scatter him like chaff” (v. 44b). Daniel 2 reveals Christ as the smiting stone crushing the great human image and causing it to become like chaff carried away by the wind. (Life-study of Daniel, p. 17)

　　By pray-reading we take the word of God into us. Usually when we speak of taking the word of God into us, we think of the word as nourishment… The nourishing word is for our building up, whereas the killing word deals with the enemy [see Eph. 6]. In this context we should pray-read the Word not mainly to receive nourishment but primarily to experience the sword as the killing instrument. The more we pray-read the Word, the more we should experience the killing power of the word.

　　The sword is the only aspect of the armor that is for offensive warfare; that is, it is the only item of God’s armor used for attacking the enemy. Perhaps you are wondering what this has to do with our subjective experience of the killing power of the word. If we would understand this, we must see that in spiritual warfare we must deal not only with the objective enemy but even the more with the subjective adversary. Satan is not only the enemy outside us; he is also the adversary inside us… The attacks of the enemy from without are not as serious as those of the adversary from within. To deal with this inward adversary we need to experience the killing power of the word. Yes, the enemy is outside us, but his elements are within our very being…Since the enemy has injected himself into our being, what we need is for the killing power of the word to be applied to us to deal with the elements of the enemy within us. In our experience we eventually come to realize that the most difficult foe is the self. The self is our worst enemy. Many times we are tempted not by an objective enemy but by the self, our own inner being. (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 796-797)
