如果我们要按着神新约的经纶，认识在四个阶段里包罗万有的基督，就需要看见在看得见之景象后面看不见的景象，在物质事物后面属灵的事物─但十12~17，弗一17~23：
If we would know the all-inclusive Christ in His four stages according to God's New Testament economy, we need to see the invisible scene behind the visible scene, the spiritual things behind the physical things—Dan. 10:12-17; Eph. 1:17-23:

２
当属地的人在看得见的景象里享受着属世的娱乐时，我们在看不见的景象里享受着属天的事物─林后四18。
While the earthly people are enjoying the worldly entertainments in their visible scenery, we are enjoying the heavenly things in our invisible scenery—2 Cor. 4:18.
While the earthly people are enjoying the worldly entertainments in their visible scenery, we are enjoying the heavenly things in our invisible scenery—2 Cor. 4:18.

基督的四个阶段，都牵涉到天使；（路二8~14，西二15，太二八2~7，徒一10~11；）这指明在基督的成为肉体、钉死十架、复活并升天的事上，有看得见的景象，也有看不见的景象。
In each of the four stages of Christ, angels were involved (Luke 2:8-14; Col. 2:15; Matt. 28:2-7; Acts 1:10-11); this indicates that concerning Christ's incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, there is both the visible scene and the invisible scene.

As the Great, God received the honor from Christ's ascension, and as the Strong, He gained the victory.
As the Great, God received the honor from Christ's ascension, and as the Strong, He gained the victory.
３
父神是至大者，也是至强者；子神是争战者：

三
以弗所四章八至十二节启示，当基督升到诸天之上时，祂率领着一列俘虏（他们原是撒但的俘虏），把他们带到诸天之上，将他们呈献给父：
Ephesians 4:8-12 reveals that when Christ ascended to the heavens, He led a procession of captives, who were originally the captives of Satan, bringing them to the heavens and presenting them to the Father:
Ephesians 4:8-12 reveals that when Christ ascended to the heavens, He led a procession of captives, who were originally the captives of Satan, bringing them to the heavens and presenting them to the Father:

The Father accepted this gift from the Son, and then He gave all these captives back to the Son as a gift—Psa. 68:18.
The Father accepted this gift from the Son, and then He gave all these captives back to the Son as a gift—Psa. 68:18.

子从父接受了所有的俘虏作礼物之后，就在祂复活的生命里变化这些俘虏，使他们每一个都成为恩赐─弗四8下：
After receiving the captives as a gift from the Father, the Son transformed all these captives in His resurrection life, making every one of them a gift—Eph. 4:8b:
After receiving the captives as a gift from the Father, the Son transformed all these captives in His resurrection life, making every one of them a gift—Eph. 4:8b:

我们曾是被撒但所掳掠的罪人，但主耶稣借着祂的死与复活，胜过了撒但，就掳掠了一切被撒但所掳去的人。
We were sinners captured by Satan, but through His death and resurrection, the Lord Jesus overcame Satan and captured all those who were held captive by Satan.
We were sinners captured by Satan, but through His death and resurrection, the Lord Jesus overcame Satan and captured all those who were held captive by Satan.

Now instead of being captives of Satan, we are gifts to the church for the building up of the Body—vv. 11-12.

在这宇宙中，有两个世界─物质世界与属灵世界─正在建造自己：
