6创十二7 ……我要把这地赐给你的后裔。亚伯兰就在那里为向他显现的耶和华筑了一座坛。
6Gen. 12:7 …To your seed I will give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him.
7加三16 应许原是向亚伯拉罕和他后裔说的。并不是说,和众后裔,像是指着许多人,乃是说,“和你那后裔”,指着一个人,就是基督。
7Gal. 3:16 But to Abraham were the promises spoken and to his seed. He does not say, And to the seeds, as concerning many, but as concerning one: “And to your seed,” who is Christ.
8神在第一次显现时呼召亚伯拉罕。神在第二次显现时应许亚伯拉罕,要把迦南地赐给他的后裔〔创十二7〕。一般地说,亚伯拉罕的后裔是指他属地的子孙,就是犹太人,也就是以色列。但狭义地说,这后裔乃是指基督(加三16)。
8In His first appearing God called Abraham. In His second appearing He promised Abraham that He would give the land of Canaan to his seed [Gen. 12:7]. Abraham’s seed, generally speaking, refers to his earthly descendants, the Jews, Israel. But narrowly speaking, the seed refers to Christ (Gal. 3:16).
9关于以色列国的境界,多年来一直有许多的争论和会议,但是当耶稣回来作亚伯拉罕独一后裔时,祂要清理局面,承受美地(李常受文集一九九一至一九九二年第四册,一二九页)。
9There have been disputes and conferences about the boundaries of the nation of Israel for years, but when Jesus comes back as the unique seed of Abraham, He will clear up the situation and inherit the good land. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 4, “The History of God in His Union with Man,” pp. 96-97)

10神把这地赐给亚伯拉罕的后裔,因为神是这地的神,是全地的神,全地的拥有者。地上的政府以为他们各自的领土是属于他们的,但事实上全地乃是属于耶和华神的(诗二四1)。……神是这地的所有者和拥有者,神有权利把这地赐给祂朋友的子孙。
10God gave this land to Abraham’s seed because God is the God of the land, the God, the Owner, of the earth. The earthly governments may think that their respective territories belong to them, but actually, the entire earth belongs to Jehovah God (Psa. 24:1)…As the Possessor and Owner of the land, He has the right to give it to His friend’s descendants.
11神运用祂暗中的照顾,祂隐密地照顾,拯救祂朋友亚伯拉罕和他的妻子〔创十二10~20〕。祂是隐密照顾祂选民的神,拯救祂的选民脱离他们的难处。
11God exercised His hidden care, His secret care, to save His friend Abraham and his wife [Gen. 12:10-20]. He is the God of secret care for His elect to rescue His elect from their troubles.
12神在罗得离别亚伯拉罕后,第四次向亚伯拉罕说话,这给我们看见神是安慰并鼓励的神。在这次说话中,神应许亚伯拉罕,要把他向四方所能看见的迦南地赐给他和他的后裔,也要使他的后裔如同地上的尘沙那样多(十三14~17)。亚伯拉罕和罗得都富有起来。他们有许多羊群牛群和帐棚,那地太小,使他们不能同住。亚伯拉罕要罗得拣选他所喜欢的地,罗得就离开了亚伯拉罕。
12God is seen as the God of comfort and encouragement in His fourth speaking to Abraham after Lot left him. In His speaking, God promised to give to Abraham and to his seed the land of Canaan as far as he could see in four directions and to make his seed as numerous as the dust of the earth (13:14-17). Abraham and Lot both became rich. They had many flocks, herds, and tents, and the land was too small for them to dwell together. Then Abraham asked Lot to choose the part of the land that he desired, and Lot left him.
13这时神来安慰并鼓励亚伯拉罕,应许要把他所能看见的迦南地赐给他和他的后裔,也要使他的后裔如同地上的尘沙那样多。没有人能数算神所给亚伯拉罕的后裔有多少,因为他们是数不清的。在珥一4说到,有许多亚伯拉罕的子孙被四种蝗虫所表征的外邦政权和入侵军队所杀害。这些蝗虫如同地中海的波浪,来冲洗如同尘沙的以色列。但无论有多少尘沙被水冲去,仍然有些沙子留下来。所以在创二二17,亚伯拉罕的子孙不是比作尘沙,乃是比作海边的沙。……有些好像尘沙,但其中有许多被冲走了。在冲洗之后还留下的人,如同在地中海边的沙(李常受文集一九九一至一九九二年第四册,一二九至一三一页)。
13Then God came to comfort and encourage [Abraham] in promising to give him and his seed the land of Canaan as far as he could see and to make his seed as numerous as the dust of the earth. No one can count how many descendants God has given to Abraham, because they are innumerable. Many of his descendants were killed by the four kinds of locusts in Joel 1:4, signifying the Gentile governments with their invading armies. These locusts were like the waves from the Mediterranean Sea, which came to scour Israel as the dust. But regardless of how much the water washed away the dust, there was still some sand left. This is why in Genesis 22:17 Abraham’s descendants are not likened to the dust but to the sand on the seashore…Some are the dust, but many of them were scoured away. The ones who remain after the scouring are as the sand on the seashore of the Mediterranean. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 4, “The History of God in His Union with Man,” pp. 97-98)
14保罗写西二7的时候,必定想到旧约里美地的图画这包罗万有之基督的预表。……在西二7保罗告诉我们,要在基督里行事为人,而在加五16他嘱咐我们,当凭着灵而行。不但如此,在罗八4他说到照着灵而行。这些经文指明,今天我们的美地,就是那住在我们灵里包罗万有的灵。这包罗万有的灵,就是包罗万有的基督这经过过程的三一神。三一神经过过程之后,乃是包罗万有的基督,成了包罗万有的灵,给我们经历并享受。今天这包罗万有的灵,就是基督自己,住在我们的灵里,作我们的美地,并活在我们里面,使我们能在祂这包罗万有的地上行事为人。
14As Paul was writing Colossians 2:6, he must have been considering the picture of the good land in the Old Testament as a type of the all-inclusive Christ…In Colossians 2:6 Paul tells us to walk in Christ, but in Galatians 5:16 he charges us to walk by the Spirit. Furthermore, in Romans 8:4 he speaks of walking according to the spirit. These verses indicate that the good land for us today is the all-inclusive Spirit who indwells our spirit. This all-inclusive Spirit is the all-inclusive Christ as the processed Triune God. After being processed, the Triune God is the all-inclusive Christ as the all-inclusive Spirit for us to experience and enjoy. Today this all-inclusive Spirit who is Christ Himself indwells our spirit to be our good land and lives in us that we may walk in Him as our all-inclusive land.
15在基督里行事为人,就是享受祂活在我们里面;祂活在我们里面,乃是神圣的分赐。当基督活在我们里面,祂就将经过过程之三一神的丰富,分赐到我们全人里面(新约总论第五册,五四五至五四六页)。
15To walk in Christ is to enjoy His living in us, and His living in us is a matter of the divine dispensing. As Christ lives in us, He dispenses the riches of the processed Triune God into our being. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 1535)
