10神以两类的人祝福亚伯拉罕，一类好比天上的星（创二二17，十五5），另一类好比海边的沙（二二17），也好比地上的尘沙（十三16）。……我们基督徒是星，是亚伯拉罕属天的子孙；而真正的犹太人，神属地的子民，是沙、尘沙。最终，犹太人要在地上作神的祭司，并要教导万国。在亚八20~23清楚地预言这事。为什么神把犹太人描述为沙和尘沙？海表征撒但所败坏的世界，而尘沙属于神所创造的地。犹太人已经被恢复到神的创造，因此他们由沙来表征，沙就是海边的尘沙。虽然他们是属地的子民，但他们不是海底的尘沙，乃是海边的尘沙。他们从败坏的海，从撒但所败坏的世界分别出来。然而，星不仅从败坏的世界分别出来，并且还是属天的。照着启二十8~9，在千年国末了，歌革和玛各要与圣徒的营和蒙爱的城争战。圣徒的营是一切属天之星的营，蒙爱的城耶路撒冷是分别之沙的城。亚伯拉罕的这两类子孙，那时要顾到神在宇宙中的权益，他们要受到歌革和玛各在撒但煽动下的攻击。那是宇宙的末了一次战争，是属魔鬼的人与亚伯拉罕子孙之间的战争。 10Abraham was blessed with two categories of people, one likened to the stars of the heavens (Gen. 22:17; 15:5) and the other to the sand on the seashore (22:17), which is also likened to the dust of the earth (13:16)…We, the Christians, are the stars, the heavenly descendants of Abraham; and the genuine Jews, God’s earthly people, are the sand, the dust. Eventually, the Jewish people will be God’s priests on earth and will teach all the nations. This is prophesied clearly in Zechariah 8:20-23. Why are the Jews described both as the sand and as the dust? The sea signifies the world corrupted by Satan, and the dust is of the earth created by God. The Jews have been restored to God’s creation. Hence, they are signified by the sand, which is the dust beside the sea. Although they are an earthly people, they are not the dust under the sea but the dust, the sand, by the seashore. They are separated from the corrupted sea, Satan’s corrupted world. However, the stars are not only separated from the corrupted world but are also heavenly. According to Revelation 20:8 and 9, at the end of the millennium, Gog and Magog will fight against the camp of the saints and the beloved city. The camp of the saints is the camp of all the heavenly stars, and the beloved city, Jerusalem, is the city of the separated sand. The two categories of Abraham’s descendants, who at that time will be caring for God’s interests in the universe, will be attacked by Gog and Magog under Satan’s instigation. That will be the last war in the universe, a war between the devilish people and Abraham’s descendants.
