“挪亚因着信，既蒙神指示他未见的事，就为虔敬所动，预备了一只方舟，使他全家得救”─来十一7上：
"By faith Noah, having been divinely instructed concerning things not yet seen and being moved by pious fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house"—Heb. 11:7a:
"By faith Noah, having been divinely instructed concerning things not yet seen and being moved by pious fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house"—Heb. 11:7a:
一
方舟是基督的预表，不仅预表个人的基督，也预表团体的基督，召会，就是基督的身体和新人─创六13~14，彼前三20~21，太十六18，林前十二12，弗二15~16，西三10~11。
The ark is a type of Christ, not only the individual Christ but also the corporate Christ, the church, which is the Body of Christ and the new man— Gen. 6:13-14; 1 Pet. 3:20-21; Matt. 16:18; 1 Cor. 12:12; Eph. 2:15-16; Col. 3:10-11.

二
建造方舟，预表用基督之丰富的元素为建造的材料，以建造团体的基督，就是召会，作基督的身体─创七1，林前三12上，弗三8~10，四12。
The building of the ark typifies the building of the corporate Christ, the church as the Body of Christ, with the element of Christ's riches as the building material—Gen. 7:1; 1 Cor. 3:12a; Eph. 3:8-10; 4:12.

三
挪亚因着信，完全照着神的启示建造方舟，而不是凭他自己的观念─来十一7，创六22。
Noah built the ark by faith absolutely according to God's revelation, not according to his own concept—Heb. 11:7; Gen. 6:22.
Noah built the ark by faith absolutely according to God's revelation, not according to his own concept—Heb. 11:7; Gen. 6:22.
四
建造方舟是与挪亚时代的潮流相反的─13节：
The building of the ark was against the tide of Noah's generation—v. 13:
The building of the ark was against the tide of Noah's generation—v. 13:
１
他反对那个时代的趋势，并“定了那世界的罪”─来十一7。
He stood against the trend of that age, and he "condemned the world"— Heb. 11:7.
He stood against the trend of that age, and he "condemned the world"— Heb. 11:7.
２
在我们今天的工作里，我们不是在这时代的潮流中─我们乃是在按照神圣启示，从宝座出来的流中─启二二1。
In our work today, we are not in the tide of this generation—we are in the flow from the throne according to the divine revelation—Rev. 22:1.
In our work today, we are not in the tide of this generation—we are in the flow from the throne according to the divine revelation—Rev. 22:1.
五
我们在主恢复里的工作，乃是神经纶的工作，就是基督身体的工作─林前十五58，十六10，西四11：
Our work in the Lord's recovery is the work of God's economy, the work of the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 15:58; 16:10; Col. 4:11:
Our work in the Lord's recovery is the work of God's economy, the work of the Body of Christ—1 Cor. 15:58; 16:10; Col. 4:11:
１
在主的恢复中只有一个工作─身体的工作─二19，弗四12。
In the Lord's recovery there is only one work—the work of the Body—2:19; Eph. 4:12.
In the Lord's recovery there is only one work—the work of the Body—2:19; Eph. 4:12.
２
基督的身体是生机的，不容许任何人为的工作；身体不是用人天然的方法或人为工作的组织而建造起来的─16节。
The Body of Christ is organic and does not allow anything of human work; the Body is not built up by natural methods or the organization of human work—v. 16.
The Body of Christ is organic and does not allow anything of human work; the Body is not built up by natural methods or the organization of human work—v. 16.
３
今天我们所作的不是我们个人的工作，乃是神经纶的工作，就是基督身体的工作─西二19，弗四12，16。
What we are doing today is not our personal work but the work of the economy of God, which is the work of the Body—Col. 2:19; Eph. 4:12, 16.

５
我们不该是“行不法的人”─太七21~23，参十三41，罗六19，帖后二3，7~8，约壹三4。
We should not be "workers of lawlessness"—Matt. 7:21-23; cf. 13:41; Rom. 6:19; 2 Thes. 2:3, 7-8; 1 John 3:4.

“但以理却立定心意，不以王的膳…玷污自己；”“诸天掌权；”“这奥秘的事，就在夜间异象中，启示给但以理”─但一8，四26，二19：
"Daniel set his heart not to defile himself with the king's choice provision"; "the heavens do rule"; "the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a night vision"—Dan. 1:8; 4:26; 2:19:
"Daniel set his heart not to defile himself with the king's choice provision"; "the heavens do rule"; "the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a night vision"—Dan. 1:8; 4:26; 2:19:
一
但以理与神是一，因为祂以神为他的食物─一8~16：
Daniel was one with God because he took God in as his food—1:8-16:
Daniel was one with God because he took God in as his food—1:8-16:
１
吃就是接触我们身外的东西，并把这些东西接受到我们里面，结果这些东西成了我们的构成─创二16~17。
To eat is to contact things outside of us and receive them into us, with the result that they become our constitution—Gen. 2:16-17.
To eat is to contact things outside of us and receive them into us, with the result that they become our constitution—Gen. 2:16-17.
２
对但以理而言，尼布甲尼撒所用的膳，实际上就是善恶知识树─但一8，创二16~17。
To Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar's choice food was actually the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—Dan. 1:8; Gen. 2:16-17.
To Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar's choice food was actually the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—Dan. 1:8; Gen. 2:16-17.
３
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─太四4，约六57。
If we eat godly food—that is, God-food, God as our food—we will be one with God—Matt. 4:4; John 6:57.
If we eat godly food—that is, God-food, God as our food—we will be one with God—Matt. 4:4; John 6:57.
４
基督这属天的王，乃是借着以祂自己作粮食喂养我们，而管治我们─太十五26~27，32~37：
As the heavenly King, Christ rules over us by feeding us with Himself as bread—Matt. 15:26-27, 32-37:
As the heavenly King, Christ rules over us by feeding us with Himself as bread—Matt. 15:26-27, 32-37:
ａ
主耶稣是“顺从的国度”；（腓二8；）我们需要借着吃祂作我们的粮食，而吸取祂，使祂能作到我们里面。
The Lord Jesus is the kingdom of obedience (Phil. 2:8); we need to take Him in by eating Him as our bread so that He may be wrought into us.
The Lord Jesus is the kingdom of obedience (Phil. 2:8); we need to take Him in by eating Him as our bread so that He may be wrought into us.
ｂ
我们越吃基督，就有越多君王的成分构成到我们里面，成为我们里面管治的元素，使我们成为基督的扩增，作为国度─但二34~35，44~45。
The more we eat Christ, the more the royal ingredients are constituted into us to become the ruling element within us and to cause us to become the increase of Christ as the kingdom—Dan. 2:34-35, 44-45.
The more we eat Christ, the more the royal ingredients are constituted into us to become the ruling element within us and to cause us to become the increase of Christ as the kingdom—Dan. 2:34-35, 44-45.
二
但以理书的中心思想，是诸天之神的诸天掌权，管理地上所有人类的政权，为要与神永远的经纶配合；这经纶就是基督要结束旧造，使新造有新生的起头；并要打碎压毁人类政权的集大成，建立神永远的国─四26，32，34~35，二34~35，44~45：
The central thought of the book of Daniel is that the ruling of the heavens by the God of the heavens over all the human government on earth matches God's eternal economy for Christ to terminate the old creation for the germination of the new creation and to smash and crush the aggregate of human government and establish the eternal kingdom of God—4:26, 32, 34-35; 2:34-35, 44-45:

１
我们蒙神拣选作祂的子民，为叫基督居首位，（西一18，）我们乃是在神属天的管治之下。
As those who have been chosen by God to be His people for Christ's preeminence (Col. 1:18), we are under God's heavenly rule.
As those who have been chosen by God to be His people for Christ's preeminence (Col. 1:18), we are under God's heavenly rule.
２
神要一班人愿意回到祂的管理，直接活在祂的管治和权柄之下─太三17，六33，八5~12。
God wants a group of people who will return to His dominion and live directly under His rule and His authority—Matt. 3:17; 6:33; 8:5-12.
God wants a group of people who will return to His dominion and live directly under His rule and His authority—Matt. 3:17; 6:33; 8:5-12.

因着诸天在管理，所以基督在我们一切的情况中与我们同在─二八20。
Because the heavens rule, Christ is with us in all our situations—28:20.
Because the heavens rule, Christ is with us in all our situations—28:20.
三
但以理的忠信和得胜，给他地位和对的角度，得以从神接受异象─但二19，七1，13~14，八15上。
Daniel's faithfulness and victory gave him the position and the right angle to receive visions from God—Dan. 2:19; 7:1, 13-14; 8:15a.

“祂从我身上剥去我的荣耀，摘去我头上的冠冕。祂四面拆毁我，我便离世；我的指望好象树被拔出来。”“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”─伯十九9~10，四二5~6：
"He has stripped my glory from me / And taken away the crown on my head. / He has broken me all around, and I am gone; / And my hope is plucked up like a tree"; "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 19:9-10; 42:5-6:
"He has stripped my glory from me / And taken away the crown on my head. / He has broken me all around, and I am gone; / And my hope is plucked up like a tree"; "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 19:9-10; 42:5-6:
一
约伯在他的完全、正直和纯全上所达到的全是虚空，并没有完成神的定旨，也没有满足神的愿望─一6~8，二1~3，二七5，三一6，三二1。
What Job had attained in his perfection, uprightness, and integrity was altogether vanity; it neither fulfilled God's purpose nor satisfied His desire— 1:6-8; 2:1-3; 27:5; 31:6; 32:1.
What Job had attained in his perfection, uprightness, and integrity was altogether vanity; it neither fulfilled God's purpose nor satisfied His desire— 1:6-8; 2:1-3; 27:5; 31:6; 32:1.
二
神在约伯身上的目的，是要销毁他，剥夺他在最高道德的标准上，所达到并成就的完全和正直─十九9~10：
God's intention with Job was to consume him and to strip him of his attainments, his achievements, in the highest standard of ethics in perfection and uprightness—19:9-10:
God's intention with Job was to consume him and to strip him of his attainments, his achievements, in the highest standard of ethics in perfection and uprightness—19:9-10:
１
神的目的是要拆毁那在自己的完全和正直里天然的约伯，使神能建立一个有神性情和属性，得更新的约伯─一6~8，二3~6。
God's intention was to tear down the natural Job in his perfection and uprightness that He might build up a renewed Job in God's nature and attributes—1:6-8; 2:3-6.
God's intention was to tear down the natural Job in his perfection and uprightness that He might build up a renewed Job in God's nature and attributes—1:6-8; 2:3-6.
２
神的剥夺和销毁施行在约伯身上，把他拆毁，使神有一个立场和一条路，用神自己把他重新建立起来，好叫他成为神人，在祂的生命和性情上，但不在神格上，和祂一样，以彰显祂─弗三16~21。
God's stripping and consuming were exercised over Job to tear him down that God might have a base and a way to rebuild him with God Himself so that he might become a God-man, the same as God in His life and nature but not in His Godhead, in order to express God—Eph. 3:16-21.

３
我们得着多少基督，在于我们受了多少剥夺和销毁─林后四16。
How much of Christ we have gained is according to how much stripping and consuming we have suffered—2 Cor. 4:16.
How much of Christ we have gained is according to how much stripping and consuming we have suffered—2 Cor. 4:16.
４
神借着祂的剥夺和销毁，将祂自己分赐到那些爱祂、寻求祂的人里面─一8~9，十三14。
It is through His stripping and consuming that God dispenses Himself into those who love Him and seek after Him—1:8-9; 13:14.
It is through His stripping and consuming that God dispenses Himself into those who love Him and seek after Him—1:8-9; 13:14.
５
神对付爱祂的人，甚至使他们受损失，目的乃是要使他们得着祂，使祂能借着他们得以彰显，以成就祂造人的目的─创一26。
God's purpose in dealing with those who love Him, even in the way of loss, is that they may gain Him and that He may be expressed through them for the fulfillment of His purpose in His creation of man—Gen. 1:26.
God's purpose in dealing with those who love Him, even in the way of loss, is that they may gain Him and that He may be expressed through them for the fulfillment of His purpose in His creation of man—Gen. 1:26.
三
我们被神剥夺并销毁之后，就要看见神─伯四二5，林后三18，来十二14，启二二4：
After we have been stripped and consumed by God, we will see God—Job 42:5; 2 Cor. 3:18; Heb. 12:14; Rev. 22:4:
After we have been stripped and consumed by God, we will see God—Job 42:5; 2 Cor. 3:18; Heb. 12:14; Rev. 22:4:
１
我们看见了神，就能被神构成，在生命和性情上象神一样，只是我们无分于祂的神格─约一12~13，彼后一4。
We see God that we may be constituted with God to be the same as God in life and nature, yet we do not have any share in the Godhead—John 1:12-13; 2 Pet. 1:4.
We see God that we may be constituted with God to be the same as God in life and nature, yet we do not have any share in the Godhead—John 1:12-13; 2 Pet. 1:4.
２
我们看见神，就得着神并得着祂的性情、生命、元素、素质和所是─太五8。
When we see God, we receive God and have His nature, life, element, essence, and being—Matt. 5:8.
When we see God, we receive God and have His nature, life, element, essence, and being—Matt. 5:8.
３
看见神就是被变化成为神荣耀的形像；这使我们不仅与神是一，也成为神的一部分，使我们得以在祂的生命上彰显神，在神的权柄上代表神─林后三18。
To see God is to be transformed into the glorious image of God; this makes us not only one with God but also a part of God that we may express God in His life and represent Him in His authority—2 Cor. 3:18.
To see God is to be transformed into the glorious image of God; this makes us not only one with God but also a part of God that we may express God in His life and represent Him in His authority—2 Cor. 3:18.
４
至终约伯看见神；然而，约伯所看见的神乃是“生的”神，不是经过过程的神，就是经过成为肉体、人性生活、钉死、复活、和升天这些步骤的神─伯四二5。
Eventually, Job saw God; however, the God whom Job saw was the "raw" God, not the processed God, the God who has passed through the steps of His process—incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension—Job. 42:5.
Eventually, Job saw God; however, the God whom Job saw was the "raw" God, not the processed God, the God who has passed through the steps of His process—incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension—Job. 42:5.
５
与约伯形成对比，我们有“熟的”神，就是经过过程的神，使我们可以吃祂、喝祂、呼吸祂─约六57，四14，二十22。
In contrast to Job, we have the "cooked" God, the God who has been processed so that we may eat Him, drink Him, and breathe Him—John 6:57; 4:14; 20:22.
In contrast to Job, we have the "cooked" God, the God who has been processed so that we may eat Him, drink Him, and breathe Him—John 6:57; 4:14; 20:22.
６
我们的神乃是经过过程并终极完成的三一神，就是终极完成、赐生命的灵─七39，林前十五45下。
Our God is the processed and consummated Triune God, who is the consummated life-giving Spirit—7:39; 1 Cor. 15:45b.
Our God is the processed and consummated Triune God, who is the consummated life-giving Spirit—7:39; 1 Cor. 15:45b.
７
三一神作为包罗万有的灵，住在我们重生的灵里，作我们的生命、性情、素质和一切，使我们被祂构成，以彰显祂─六17，十二12。
The Triune God as the all-inclusive Spirit dwells in our regenerated spirit to be our life, our nature, our essence, and our everything so that we may be constituted with Him for His expression—6:17; 12:12.
The Triune God as the all-inclusive Spirit dwells in our regenerated spirit to be our life, our nature, our essence, and our everything so that we may be constituted with Him for His expression—6:17; 12:12.
四
我们需要看见，神永远的经纶，就是神永远的目的和祂的心愿，乃是要把祂自己在祂神圣的三一里，就是父在子里，借着灵，分赐到祂所拣选并救赎的人里面，使他们在生命、性情上与祂一样，作祂团体的彰显─基督的身体，终极完成于新耶路撒冷─弗四4~6，16，启二一2，10~11。
We need to see the eternal economy of God, which is God's intention with His heart's desire to dispense Himself in His Divine Trinity—as the Father in the Son by the Spirit—into His chosen and redeemed people so that they may be the same as He is in life and nature for His corporate expression—the Body of Christ consummating in the New Jerusalem—Eph. 4:4-6, 16; Rev. 21:2, 10-11.
