纲目
Outline
1壹 雅各的梦乃是神目标的梦,也就是伯特利的梦,神家的梦(创二八10~22),这家就是今日的召会(提前三15),要终极完成于新耶路撒冷,作神和祂所救赎之选民永远的居所(启二一3、22):
1I. Jacob's dream was a dream of God's goal, the dream of Bethel, the dream of the house of God (Gen. 28:10-22), which is the church today (1 Tim. 3:15) and which will consummate in the New Jerusalem as the eternal dwelling place of God and His redeemed elect (Rev. 21:3, 22):
2一 神有一个梦,就是要得着新耶路撒冷这座建造的城,作祂经纶的终极完成;这建造就是神建造到人里面,人建造到神里面—神的建造乃是一位神人,在这建造里,神是人的家(诗九十1,九一1、9),人也是神的家(赛六六1~2,五七15,约十四20、23,十五5,启二一3、22)。
2A. God had a dream, and that dream was to have the New Jerusalem, a built-up city, as the consummation of His economy; this building is the building of God into man and of man into God—God's building is a God-man, a building in which God is man's home (Psa. 90:1; 91:1, 9) and man is God's home (Isa. 66:1-2; 57:15; John 14:20, 23; 15:5; Rev. 21:3, 22).
3二 我们的梦就是要成为新耶路撒冷,作神经纶的终极完成—9~10节。
3B. Our dream is to become the New Jerusalem as the consummation of God's economy—vv. 9-10.
4三 梦的原则就是说,在梦中有些不可能的事临到了我们—参路一37,十八27,伯四二2~3,诗一二六1,耶三二27:
4C. The principle of a dream is that in it something impossible happens to us—cf. Luke 1:37; 18:27; Job 42:2-3; Psa. 126:1; Jer. 32:27:
51 每一个属灵的异象,都是一个梦;每一个属灵的经历,也都是一个梦。
51. Every spiritual vision is a dream; every spiritual experience is a dream.
62 大多数属天的异象是在受苦时临到的,那时我们与属人的东西断绝,而信靠属神的东西—参创二八10~12。
62. Most heavenly visions come in times of suffering, when we are cut off from what is of man and put our trust in what is of God—cf. Gen. 28:10-12.
73 我们属灵生命第一次的梦是我们的得救;进到召会生活是一个梦,认识召会的实行也是一个梦。
73. The first dream of our spiritual life is our salvation; coming into the church life is a dream; knowing the practicality of the church is also a dream.
84 每一个属灵的梦的中心,总是基督这梯子,祂是那将天带到地,并将地联于天的一位—约一51。
84. The center of every spiritual dream is Christ as the ladder, as the One who brings heaven to earth and joins earth to heaven—John 1:51.

9创二八11~12 到了一个地方,因为太阳落了,就在那里过夜;他〔雅各〕拾起那地方的一块石头枕在头下,在那里躺卧睡了。他梦见一个梯子立在地上,梯子的顶通着天,有神的使者在梯子上,上去下来。
9Gen. 28:11-12 And he came to a certain place and spent the night there, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head, and he lay down in that place. And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
10由于抓夺而陷入麻烦的青年抓夺者雅各,在孤寂的旅途上作了一个梦。雅各所看见的是一个梦,还未成为事实,因为雅各仍是一个抓夺者。在他的深处,他可能还抓着以扫的脚跟。这样一个抓夺者,怎能成为神的家?这是不可能的。因此,在那时候,雅各的梦只是一个梦。……我们需要在属灵生命中有梦。……每一个属灵的异象都是一个梦。
10While Jacob, the young supplanter who had gotten into trouble due to his supplanting, was on his lonesome journey, he had a dream. What Jacob saw was a dream; it was not yet a fact, because Jacob was still a supplanter. Deep within, he was probably still holding on to Esau’s heel. How could such a supplanter be the house of God? It was impossible. Hence, at that time, Jacob’s dream was only a dream…We need to have dreams in our spiritual life…Every spiritual vision is a dream.
11梦的原则乃是,不可能的事在梦中发生在你身上。我们的得救是一个梦,那是我们属灵生命中的第一个梦。……进入召会生活也是一个属灵的梦。每一个进入召会生活的人都有过一个梦,在梦中不可能的事发生了。我喜欢这些属天的梦(创世记生命读经,一一一六至一一一七页)。
11The principle of a dream is that in it something impossible happens to you. Our being saved was a dream, the initial dream in our spiritual life…Coming into the church life was also a spiritual dream. Everyone who has come into the church life has had a dream in which something impossible took place. I like these heavenly dreams. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 920-921)

12几乎所有蒙召的人都能作见证,在他们得救以前,他们被迫受苦,忍受寂寞,并且在每样人造的东西都变为无有的环境中。按照他们的领会,一切人造的东西都是无用的,他们信靠神的创造,信靠神所造的东西。在这样的时刻,属天的梦就来了。
12As nearly all the called ones can testify, before they were saved, they were forced to suffer, to be lonesome, and to be in an environment in which everything man-made had become nothing. According to their understanding, everything man-made was useless, and they trusted in God’s creation, in the things made by God. It was at such a time that the dream from heaven came.
13今天原则是一样的。你若要另一个属天的异象,你就必须受一些苦;……大多数属天的异象是在你受苦或被苦待时临到的。我所看见的异象,几乎都是在受苦的时候临到的。……在我们喜乐的时候,异象不常来;在我们受苦的时候,异象就来了。当我们正在美妙的召会生活中喜乐时,属天的梦可能不会来。然而当我们受弟兄们、姊妹们或长老们为难时,梦就来了。……若没有苦难,就不会有梦。然而每当我们许多人造的东西被剥夺,并且被带到一个地方,只有神造的东西,也就是说,当我们与属人的东西断绝,而信靠属神的东西,那时异象就来了。属天的异象乃是这样来的。
13The principle is the same today. If you want another heavenly vision, then you must have some suffering…Most heavenly visions come at a time when you are suffering or ill-treated. Nearly all the visions I have seen have come in times of suffering. When we are happy in the wonderful church life, the heavenly dream may not come. But when we are troubled by the brothers, the sisters, and the elders, the dream comes…If there is no suffering, there may be no dream. But whenever we are deprived of so many man-made things and are brought to the place where there are only the God-created things, that is, when we are cut off from what is of man and put our trust in what is of God, the vision comes. The heavenly vision comes in this way.
14雅各在伯特利的梦不是出于他,乃是完全出于神。雅各已经失去一切,完全失望。他无望无家,然而……梦来了。这梦是什么?这梦就是异象,就是看见。在我们的经历中,梯子在那里,但我们没有看见。现在我们有了视力,看见了一直在那里的梯子。这就是雅各的梦的意义。
14Jacob’s dream at Bethel was not of him; it was absolutely of God. Jacob had lost everything and was fully disappointed. He had become a hopeless and homeless case. But…the dream came. What is this dream? It is simply a vision, a seeing. In our experience the ladder was there, but we did not see it. Now that we have the sight, we see the ladder, which was there all the time. This is the significance of Jacob’s dream.
15每一个属灵的经历都是一个梦。……进到召会生活是一个梦,认识召会的实行也是一个梦。许多时候我们说,“天哪,这个经历真好!这必是个梦。我得了怎样的梦!”我们的梦越多越好,因为梦越多,我们接触并享受那梯子也越多。
15Every spiritual experience is a dream…Coming into the church life is a dream. Knowing the practicality of the church is also a dream. Many times we have said, “My, this experience is so good that it must be a dream. What a dream has come to me!” The more dreams we have, the better, for the more dreams we have, the more we touch and enjoy the ladder.
16每一个属灵的梦的中心总是基督这梯子,祂是那将天带到地,并将地联于天的一位。每当我们里面深处觉得被带到天上,并且联于天,与天成为一,天也与我们成为一,那就是对基督的经历。……正确生命的经历乃是梦见基督这天梯,已经立在地上,并且将我们带到天上。不要想去胜过罪,或克服软弱。当你接触这梯子,你就在天上,天就是你的。在天和地,地和天之间会有许多交通。你要得着你所需要的,一切消极的事物都要在你脚下。这就是经历基督作天梯(创世记生命读经,一○六六至一○六七、一○七二页)。
16The center of every spiritual dream is Christ as the ladder, as the One who brings heaven to earth and joins earth to heaven. Whenever we sense deep within that we have been brought into heaven and have been joined to and made one with heaven, and that heaven has been made one with us, that is an experience of Christ…The proper experience in life is to have a dream of Christ as the heavenly ladder, which has been set up on earth and which brings us into heaven. Do not try to overcome sin or to conquer your weakness. When you touch this ladder, you will be in heaven, heaven will be yours, and there will be much traffic between earth and heaven and between heaven and earth. You will have whatever you need, and every negative thing will be under your feet. This is the experience of Christ as the heavenly ladder. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 876-877, 881-882)
