神的恢复与进一步的创造（二）过程

GOD’S RESTORATION AND FURTHER CREATION (2) PROCESS
1在前一篇信息中我们看过六点，包含三个来了和三个分开。灵来了，神的话来了，以及光来了。结果是三个分开：光暗分开，上下的水分开，旱地与死水分开。由于这三个分开，旱地在第三天，就是复活之日，从死水中露出来了。主耶稣就是从死水中出来的旱地。祂复活了，好重生我们。
1In the last message we covered six points, including three comings and three separations. The Spirit came, the Word of God came, and the light came. As a result of this, there were three separations: light was separated from darkness; the waters above were separated from the waters below; and the dry land was separated from the death waters. By these three separations the dry land emerged out of the waters of death on the third day, the day of resurrection. The Lord Jesus is the dry land Who came out of the death water. He was resurrected that He might regenerate us
2在旧约，陆地豫表作生出生命之源头的基督。这陆地埋在死水里，第三天重新显出来。就如旧约的记载所启示，每种生命都产自这陆地：植物的生命，动物的生命，甚至人的生命。人是用地上的尘土造作的。这豫表每种生命都来自基督。
2In the Old Testament, the land typifies Christ as the generating source. This land was buried beneath the waters of death and appeared again on the third day. As the record of the Old Testament reveals, every kind of life was produced out of this land: the plant life, the animal life, and even the human life came out of the earth. Man was made from the dust of the earth. This typifies that every kind of life comes out of Christ
3人类堕落后，在挪亚的时代里，地再度被死水淹埋。（创七17～24。）这表征人与基督隔绝了。人类断绝了对这美地的享受。此后地又得以恢复。（创八13～17，22。）地得恢复以后，一直到巴别的时候，人更深一步堕落，而且全人类起来背叛神。（创十一1～9。）于是神呼召一个以亚伯拉罕为祖先的族类出来，进入高地，就是迦南美地。（创十二1，5，7。）这美地也是表征基督。亚伯拉罕蒙召从巴别出来，进入美地。我们已经蒙召从背叛出来，进入基督，就是我们的美地。（林前一9。）如今这美地是我们的，豫备好产生生命。
3After the fall of humanity and during the time of Noah, the land was once again covered by the waters of death (Gen. 7:17-24), signifying that man was severed from Christ. Humanity was severed from the enjoyment of the good land. After this, the land was recovered again (Gen. 8:13-17, 22). The land was recovered until the day of Babel when man fell even further and the whole human race rose up in rebellion against God (Gen. 11:1-9). Thus, God called out a race with Abraham as the father to enter into the high land, the good land of Canaan (Gen. 12:1, 5, 7). This good land also signifies Christ. Abraham was called out of Babel into the good land. We have been called out of rebellion into Christ, our good land (1 Cor. 1:9). Now this good land is ours, ready to produce life
（七） 生出植物生命
7) The Plant Life Was Generated
4地上的植物生命生出了。最低等的生命，没有意识的生命，产生了。（创一11～13，比可四8，何十四5～7。）这是生命的生出，在第三天，陆地从死水露出之后发生的。那时并没有生命的长大，只有最低形态，无意识的生命。我们若对草木说话，草不能领会，木也不会反应，因为牠们没有感觉，没有意识。牠们没有感情、思想、或意志，因为牠们是没有任何意识的生命。这是最低的生命。
4The plant life on the land was generated. The lowest life, a life without consciousness, came into existence (Gen. 1:11-13; cf. Mark 4:8; Hosea 14:5-7). This is the generating of life and happened on the third day, after the land emerged out of the death water. At that time, there was no growth of life, only the lowest form of life, a life without any consciousness. If we talk to the grass or to the trees, the grass cannot understand and the trees will not react because they have no feeling, no consciousness. They have no emotion, thought, or will because they are lives without any consciousness. This is the lowest life.
5当我们接受基督到我们里面，基督就在我们里面从死水里显出来了。我们现在有了生命，就是生命的生出。我们得救了，我们有生命了。我们得救时，就接受了生命，但在我们里面的生命还是非常低的。这在创世记的记载中由草的生命、菜蔬的生命、以及果树的生命所表征。
5When we received Christ into us, Christ appeared out of the death water within us. Christ appeared and now we have life, the generating of life. We are saved and we have life. At the time we were saved, we received life, but the life within us was very low. This is signified in the record of Genesis by the life of the grass, the life of the herbs, and the life of the fruit trees
6就是植物的生命也有三等级：草是最低等的植物生命，结种子的菜蔬比较高等，结果子的树木更高一等。我们若是读创世记一章二十九到三十节，会看见神将菜蔬与果树供人作食物，又将草供走兽和牲畜作食物。
6Even with the plant life there are three levels: grass, the lowest plant life; the herbs which yield seeds, a higher level; and the fruit trees, an even higher level. If we read Genesis 1:29-30, we will see that God gave the herbs and the fruit trees to man for his food. Then, God gave the grass to the beasts and to the cattle for their food
7当你成为基督徒时，你接受了生命，但在你里面的生命还是非常低。也许在你里面的生命就像草：是生命，也长大，却是最低等的生命。就是与别的植物生命比较，草也是很低等的。虽然上周你也许像草，但今天你长大了，成为结种子的菜蔬。我盼望再过两个月，你会成为结果子的树木。你要将自己比作甚么？比作草、菜蔬、还是树木？假定主自己问你：『你如何？你像草还是像菜蔬？或是像树木？』今天也许你是菜蔬，但过一阵也许你会像结果子的树木。但是当你成为树木时，不要满意，这不是一章末了的一节，这只是在第三天发生的事。
7When you became a Christian, you received life, but that life in you was very low. Perhaps the life within you is similar to grass: it is life and it grows; yet it is the lowest life. Even when compared with the other plant life, grass is quite low. Although last week you might have been like the grass, today you have grown a little higher and you have become the herb yielding the seed. I hope after two months, you will be a tree bringing forth fruit. How would you liken yourself—to the grass, the herb, or the trees? Suppose the Lord Himself would ask you, “How about you? Are you like the grass or the herb or the tree?” Today you may be an herb, but after a certain period of time perhaps you will be likened to a fruit- bearing tree. But when you become a tree, don’t become satisfied. This is not the last verse of chapter one; it is something which happened on the third day
（八） 出现光体
8) The Light Bearers Appeared
8在第四天，没有生命的长大，但是出现了更强、更结实的光体。（创一14～17。）虽然第一天光已经来了，但不是那么结实，不是那么强。在第四天不只光来了，也有光体：太阳、月亮和众星。这些光更强、更结实、也更便利。这是生命长大的第一个条件。
8On the fourth day, there was no growth of life, but the appearance of the stronger, more solid lights (Gen. 1:14-17). Although light came in on the first day, it was not that solid, not that strong. On the fourth day, not only the lights came, but also the light bearers— the sun, the moon, and the stars. These are lights which are stronger, more solid, and more available. This is the first requirement for the growth of life
9假定你不只是草或菜蔬，也是树木，这时你要接受更多的光。虽然你已经有了第一天的光，你需要在第四天再有些事情发生。你需要接受更高的光，更完全的光，更丰富、更强、也更便利的光。约壹一章五到七节告诉我们，我们在得救之后，需要更多的光，需要在光中行。
9Suppose that you are not only the grass or the herb, but also the tree. By this time you will receive more light. Although you have the light of the first day, you need something to happen on the fourth day. You need to receive some higher lights, some fuller lights, some richer, stronger, and more available lights. First John 1:5-7 tells us that after we are saved we need more light, that we need to walk in the light.
10创世记一章十四至十九节讲到光，不是随便讲的，乃是很确定的讲到太阳、月亮以及众星。在豫表上，太阳豫表基督，基督是我们的太阳。玛拉基四章二节说，基督是公义的日头，其光线有医治之能。祂的照耀就是光线，在这照耀里有医治。本节下半告诉我们，我们必在基督的照耀下长大。还有，路加一章七十八至七十九节说，基督是我们的黎明，是我们清晨的日光。阿利路亚！主耶稣是我们的太阳，祂是那照在死亡的境域和阴影中之人的『大光。』（太四16。）
10Genesis 1:14-19 does not speak about lights in a loose way, but in a very definite way—the sun, the moon, and the stars. In typology, the sun typifies Christ. Christ is our sun. Malachi 4:2 tells us that Christ is the Sun of Righteousness and that there is healing in His wings. His shining forth is the wings, and with this shining forth there is healing. The second half of this verse tells us that we all will grow up under the shining of Christ. Also, Luke 1:78-79 tells us that Christ is our dayspring, the sunrise in the early morning. Hallelujah! Jesus the Lord is our sun. He is the “great light” which has sprung up over darkness and the shadow of death (Matt. 4:16
11主也将得胜的圣徒比作太阳。（太十三43。）他们是这样与主成为一，有一天他们也要像主一样，发光如同太阳。
11The overcoming saints are also likened by the Lord Jesus to the sun (Matt. 13:43). They are so one with the Lord that one day they will shine as the sun, even as He does
12那么月亮是谁？月亮是召会。虽然我们很难从圣经找出一节指明月亮是召会，然而，我们说月亮指召会是有根据的。你们记得约瑟所梦见的太阳、月亮、和十一颗星。（创三七9～11。）太阳是指他的父亲，月亮是指他的母亲，众星是指他的众弟兄。根据这事实，我们可以说，召会是基督的新妇，妻子，可用月亮作豫表。今天召会就是月亮。月亮是甚么？月亮这物体本身没有光，却能返照光。召会本身没有光。但是，阿利路亚！召会被造乃是为返照基督的光。再者，月亮只能在夜间返照光。今天在召会时代，正是夜间。你看看世界是多么黑暗！虽然召会确是在黑夜，（地方召会是这黑夜中发光的灯台─启一20，）她却能返照基督的光。然而，召会（像月亮一样）时常上下起伏不定，有时是满月，有时是半月，或是新月。再者，没有月亮的时候，众星就照耀。阿利路亚！
12Who, then, is the moon? The moon is the church. Although it is difficult for us to find a verse in the Bible indicating that the moon is the church, there is, nevertheless, a basis for saying that the church is the moon. Remember Joseph’s dream about the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars (Gen. 37:9-11). The sun was his father, the moon his mother, and the stars his brothers. Based upon this fact, we may say that the church as the wife, the bride of Christ, may be typified by the moon. The church today is the moon. What is the moon? The moon is an object that has no light in itself, but has the ability to reflect light. By itself, the church has no light. But hallelujah! the church was made in a way to reflect the light of Christ. Furthermore, the moon is able to reflect light only in the night time. Today, during the church age, it is the night time. Look at the world. How dark it is! Although the church is really in a dark night (the local churches are lampstands shining in this dark night, Rev. 1:20), she can reflect the light of Christ. However, frequently the church (like the moon) is not very stable, coming up and going down. The church may be the full moon, the half moon, or the new moon. And, when there is no moon, the stars shine. Hallelujah
13我们不单有日、月，还有众星。不只有基督、召会，还有所有得胜的圣徒。但以理十二章三节说，『那使多人归义的，必发光如星。』我们若要帮助人得救，使人从黑暗转向光，使背道者得著恢复，我们就必须是发光的星。启示录一章二十节说，众召会是黑暗中发光的灯台，众使者（众召会中的活肢体）是发光的星。主也说圣徒是世上的光。（太五14。）保罗说，圣徒『好像发光之体显在世界里。』（腓二15。）
13We not only have the sun, the moon, but also the stars: not only Christ, the church, but also all the overcoming saints. Daniel 12:3 says that those who turn many to righteousness shine like the stars. If we are going to help people to be saved, if we are going to turn people from darkness to light, if we are going to recover all the backsliders, we must be the shining stars. Revelation 1:20 tells us that the churches are the lampstands shining in the darkness and that the angels (the living ones in the churches) are the shining stars. The Lord said that the saints are “the light of the world” (Matt. 5:14), and Paul said that the saints shine “as lights in the world” (Phil. 2:15).
14当我们的生命从草长到树木，我们不该满意，因为那只是第三天，不是终局。我们必须往前到第四天，享受基督作升起的日头，享受召会作明月，并享受许多美好圣徒作发亮的星，好叫我们在生命里长大。
14After we have grown in life from the grass to the tree, we should not be satisfied, for that was only the third day, not the end. We must go on to the fourth day to enjoy Christ as the sunrise, to enjoy the church as the bright moon, and to enjoy so many good saints as the shining stars, that we may grow in life
15月亮若不照耀，并不表示没有月亮了，月亮还在。照样，不要说召会没有了，召会还在。问题是召会似乎有了遮蔽，并且与太阳的关系不大对了，因此不能返照甚么光。虽然召会可能有问题，但召会还在。
15If the moon doesn’t shine, don’ts ay that the moon is not there. The moon is still there. Likewise don’ts ay that there is no church; the church is still there. The problem is that the church is somewhat covered, and is not so right with the sun. Thus, it doesn’t reflect any light. Although there may be a problem with the church, the church is still there
16当召会出了问题，那就是众星发光的时候。我们许多人都必须是发亮的星。我们都需要接触基督，接触召会，并接触发光的圣徒们。我们该接触许多美好的圣徒。当你遇见一位活的弟兄或活的姊妹，你来到他们面前，你不觉得是在一种照耀之下么？这就是光，这光能帮助我们在生命中长大。
16When there is a problem with the church, that is the time for the stars to shine. Many of us have to be the shining stars. We need to contact Christ, we need to contact the church, and we also need to contact the shining saints. We must contact so many good saints. When you come to a living brother or a living sister, don’ty ou sense an amount of light, that when you enter their presence you are under a certain kind of shining? This is light. This light will help us to grow in life
（九） 有了管理
9) Some Rule Was Established
17神在第四天所造的光体，是设立来藉著照耀『管理昼夜』的。（创一l8上。）光体不只发光，也藉著照耀来管理。那里有发光，那里就有管理。黑暗带来混乱，而光规律一切。为著生命的长大，我们需要第四天光体的管理和规律。
17The lights God made on the fourth day were established “to rule over the day and over the night” by their shining (Gen. 1:18a). The light not only shines, but also rules by its shining. Where there is shining, there is ruling. Darkness brings in confusion, but light regulates. For the growth of life, we need the ruling and the regulating of the fourth-day lights
18第四天的光体也『分别明暗。』（创一l8下。）我们在第三篇信息中看见，光暗已经分开了。（创一4。）现在第四天光体照耀的管理，加强了这个分别。为著生命的长大，我们需要光体的管理，和分别的加强。这是生命长大的第二个条件。
18The lights on the fourth day also “divide the light from the darkness” (Gen. 1:18b). The separation of the light from the darkness, as we have seen in message three, had happened already (Gen. 1:4). Now, the ruling of the fourth-day lights’ shining strengthens this separation. For the growth of life, we need the ruling of the lights and also the strengthening of the separation. This is the second requirement for the growth of life.
（十） 生出水中的活物
10) The Living Creatures in the Water Were Generated
19到第五天，具有最低意识的较低生命滋生了。（创一20～22。）虽然每种型态的动物生命都有某种程度的意识，但有的生命较高等，有的较低等。首先说到的是鱼，这是意识最低的动物生命。这经验我们都有。譬如有些金鱼在水中游动，我们一走近，牠们就害怕的游开了。我们若撒些食物到水中，然后走开，那些鱼就都回来了。这生命高于树的生命，植物的生命；（结四七7，9；）虽然还不很高，但是比较高了。这是生命长大的头一步。
19On the fifth day, the lower life with the lowest consciousness came into being (Gen. 1:20-22). Although every form of animal life has some level of consciousness, some lives are higher and others are lower. First, the fish are mentioned, the animal life with the lowest consciousness. We have all had some experience of this. Suppose there are some goldfish swimming in the water and we come near them. They will be frightened away. However, if we scatter some food into the water and keep away, all the fish will return. This life is higher than the tree life, higher than the plant life (Ezek. 47:7, 9). Although it is not very high, it is higher. This is the first step of the growth of life
20海里的鱼是生活在盐水中。通常盐水是不长东西的，盐水会杀死生命。然而，鱼能在盐水中生活。水会咸，但鱼绝不会咸，除非牠死了。这是很有意义的事。
20The fish in the sea live in salt water. As a rule, salt water doesn’t grow anything; it kills, allowing nearly no plants to grow. Salt water kills life. Fish, however, can live in salt water. The water may be salty, but the fish will never be salty, unless they are dead. This is quite meaningful
21全人类。整个人类社会，正如一个大盐海，但我们基督徒还能很活。我们能活，并且活在这样的社会中，不被这社会感染。然而我们一旦死了，我们就变咸了。有些地方的人习惯吃咸鱼，他们先将鱼杀了，再放在盐里，就把鱼腌咸了。鱼还活著的时候，盐对牠们没有办法，牠们能生存在咸水里，这真是奇妙！我们这些有基督生命的基督徒，能生存在这黑暗、败坏的社会中；而，如果我们死了，我们就会变咸了。今天，你若是活著的，你的同学要试诱你去看电影或吸毒，你会说，『不！』没有甚么能影响你。但你若是死的，你会被人带去电影院，像羊被牵去宰杀。一旦被宰杀，你就死了，你会去吸毒，甚至吸海洛因。这样，你就变成咸的了。但是，阿利路亚！我们绝不会成为咸的，因为我们有生命。生命能驱除死海里各种的盐。这生命能存活在任何死亡的光景中。在死亡的环境中，这生命还能存活。这是好的，但还有更好的。
21All of humanity, the entire human society, is like a great salt sea. Yet, we Christians are so living. We can be alive and live in such a society and not be salted by it. But once we are dead, we will become salty. The Chinese people used to eat a great deal of salted fish. First, they killed the living fish and then put them into salt until all the fish became salty. When the fish were living, salt could do nothing to them; they could live in the salt water. This is wonderful. We Christians who have the life of Christ can live in this dark, evil society. However, if we become dead, we will be salted. Today, if you are so living and one of your schoolmates tempts you to go to a movie or to take some drugs, you will say, “No.” Nothing can influence you. But, if you are dead, you will first be brought to the movie theater like a sheep to the slaughter. Once you have been slaughtered, you will be dead, take drugs, even heroin. You will be salted. But hallelujah! We can never be salted because we have life. Life repels every kind of salt from the dead sea. This life can survive in any death situation. In the midst of an environment of death, this life can still survive. This is good; yet there is more
（十一） 生出空中的活物
11) The Living Creatures in the Air Were Generated
22第五天，雀鸟，空中的飞鸟，在鱼之后造出来了。（创一20～23。）这是具有较低意识的较高生命。鸟的生命比鱼的生命高。鱼能活在死水中，而鸟能超越死水。你成了『鱼』之后，必须长大成『鸟。』当你的同学来对你说，『我们去看电影。』你能高飞，没有人能摸著你─你是超越的。你不只能驱除盐分，还能超越牠。
22After the fish, the birds, the fowl in the air, were created on the fifth day (Gen. 1:20-23). This is the higher life with the lower consciousness. The bird life is higher than the fish life. Fish can live in the death waters, but birds can transcend them. After you become a fish, you must grow until you are a bird. When your classmates come to you and say, “Let us go to the movies,” you will soar. No one can touch you—you will be transcendent. You will not only repel the salt, but you will transcend it
23在创世记一章所题的每个项目，都有经节指明那是豫表。比方主耶稣对彼得说，他要作得人的渔夫。（太四19。）按这话，主耶稣把所有的人都比作海里的鱼。又有以赛亚四十章三十一节说，那等候耶和华的必如鹰展翅上腾，这是更高的生命。许多人都能作见证说，他们常常能展翅上腾。我们能活在任何光景里。但只要再长大些，就不只能活在邪恶的环境中，还能超越那些环境。我们飞走，没有甚么能摸著我们。阿利路亚！好多次我都盼望自己是一只鸟。有一天，我发现自己真的是一只鸟，我是一只有两个大翅膀的老鹰。阿利路亚！老鹰能展翅上腾，超越这地上的阻挠、失望。太好了！我不是说些我所不知道的，或是圣经里所没有的。你去读以赛亚四十章三十一节，我们可以作鹰，这是生命长大的第二步。这真是好，但还不彀。
23Every item mentioned in the first chapter of Genesis has a Bible verse signifying that it is a type. For instance, the Lord Jesus told Peter that he would be a fisher of men (Matt. 4:19). By this word, the Lord Jesus likened all people to fish in the sea. Also, we have Isaiah 40:31 which says that they who wait on the Lord shall be as the eagles, soaring and transcending. This is a higher life. Many can testify that often they were soaring. We can live in any kind of situation, but with a little more growth we not only survive in evil circumstances, we also transcend them. We fly away and nothing can touch us. Hallelujah! A number of times I thought to myself that I would like to be a bird. Then, one day I discovered that I really was a bird. I was an eagle with two big wings. Hallelujah! An eagle can mount up and transcend the frustrations of this earth. This is wonderful. I am not speaking something I don’t know or something that is not found in the Bible. Read Isaiah 40:31. We can be the eagle. This is the second step of the growth of life. This is wonderful, but there is still more
（十二） 生出地上的活物
12) The Living Creatures on the Earth Were Generated
24到第六天，有较高意识的更高生命生出了。（创一24～25。）这更高的生命能在地上完成一些事情。创世记四十九章九节说到狮子，把犹大比作能作许多事的狮子。撒上六章七节、十二节上，说到两只用来拖拉载著约柜的车的母牛。这些经节表明走兽与牲畜都能在这地上有所作为。牠们的意识比鱼高，甚至比鸟高，牠们能在这地上有所作为。这是生命长大的第三步。
24On the sixth day the higher life with the higher consciousness came into existence (Gen. 1:24-25). This higher life can accomplish something on the earth. Genesis 49:9 speaks about the lion, likening Judah to a lion which can do many things. First Samuel 6:7, 12a tells about two kine which were used to carry the cart with the ark. These verses show that both the beasts and the cattle can accomplish something on this earth. Their consciousness is higher than the fish, even higher than the bird, and they can do something on this earth. This is the third step of the growth of life
25我们有基督在里面作生命，这生命从青草的层次长到菜蔬，从菜蔬长到树木，然后又长到另一层次，就是动物的生命。在这层次上，先是鱼，逐渐长成鸟，最后甚至长成牲畜，有更高、更强、也更有意识的生命。
25We have Christ within us as our life. Starting from the level of the grass, this life will grow from the grass to the herb, from the herb to the tree. Then, we will be on another plane, the plane of the animal life. On this level, we will first be a fish, gradually grow to be a bird, and eventually grow even further to be one of the cattle with a life that is higher, stronger, and more meaningful.
26我们必须认识我们对光的需要。第一天，我们有来自灵和话的光。当我们往前时，我们需要第四天的光。在第四天，光来自基督，来自召会，并来自发光的圣徒。由于我们是在基督、召会并发光圣徒的照耀之下，我们不只有生命的生出，还有生命的长大。第一天的光是为著生命的生出，第四天的光是为著生命的长大。第四天的光主要是直接从基督来的，也有从召会和发光的圣徒来的。在我们接受永远的生命之后，我们若要在生命里长大，首先必须接触基督，第二要接触召会，第三要接触活的圣徒。当我们在这样的照耀下，我们就是在长大的过程中。
26We must recognize the need of light. On the first day, we had the light from the Spirit and from the Word. As we go on, we need the lights of the fourth day. On the fourth day, the lights come from Christ, from the church, and from the shining saints. Since we are under the enlightening of Christ, the church, and the shining saints, we no longer have only the generating of life but the growth of life. The light on the first day is for the generating of life; the lights on the fourth day are for the growth of life. The lights on the fourth day mainly come from Christ directly, also from the church and the shining saints. If we are to grow in life after we have received the eternal life, we must firstly contact Christ, secondly contact the church, and thirdly contact the living saints. While we are under such a shining, we are in the process of growth.
27关于这长大的过程，我不是讲理论。我知道我说的是甚么，因为我自己经过了这一切的阶段。四十九年前我是一片青草，以后我从青草长成菜蔬，再后我成了一棵树。过了一段时候，我是一条鱼，能在任何邪恶的环境中生活。然后我达到一种地步，能轻易的在诸天里展翅翱翔。无论是从母亲，从肉身的兄弟，从妻子、儿女，甚至从灵里的弟兄来的任何烦扰或逼迫、艰难、痛苦，我都能轻易的超越。这是真的。
27Regarding this process of growth, I am not speaking about something theoretical. I know what I am talking about because I myself have passed through all of these stages. Forty-nine years ago I was a little blade of grass. Then, I grew from the grass to the herb. Later, I became a tree. After a certain time, I was a fish, able to live in any of the evil situations. Then, I reached a stage in which it was so easy for me to soar in the heavens. When there was any trouble or persecution, any hardship or affliction from mother, from brothers in the flesh, from wife or children, even from brothers in the spirit, I simply transcended them all. This is real
28许多时候你的妻子为难你。在你变成一只鸟以前，你会留在那里与她争辩、顶嘴。一旦你变成一只老鹰，妻子为难你时，你这鹰丈夫就飞开，展翅上腾，停留在空中观察，直到妻子说『赞美主，』于是老鹰丈夫就飞回来了。从你的经历，你能说出你在甚么时候是鱼，甚么时候是鹰。你若还没有这样的经历，我敢说有一天你会成为一只老鹰。老鹰不用挣扎，难处来到时，牠就在空中展翅，难处很难抓住牠。当有苦难、痛苦、烦扰时，老鹰就飞上天空。这是真正的得胜，超越的得胜。你愿意成为这样的一只老鹰么？
28Many times your dear wife gives you a hard time. Before you become a bird, you will stay there to argue, to exchange words. Once you become an eagle and the dear wife gives you trouble, the eagle-husband will fly away. This eagle-husband will remain soaring in the air and watching, watching until the wife says, “Praise the Lord.” Then, the eagle-husband will return. By your experience you can tell when you were the fish and when you were the eagle. If you haven’th ad this kind of experience, I can assure you that someday you will be an eagle. The eagle has no struggle. When any difficulty comes, he soars in the air. It is really hard to catch him. When there is affliction, hardship, or trouble, the eagle takes to the air. That is a real victory, a transcending victory. Don’ty ou want to be such an eagle
29然而，有时当我是老鹰时，我很容易飞开，主就对我说，『不要飞开，留下来作一只牲畜。你需要作一只母牛，产奶去𫗪养人，或者把他们当担子来背负。你的妻子若是叫你为难，你不要飞开，要给她一点奶，𫗪养她，把她当担子来背负。』
29Sometimes, however, when I was an eagle, finding it easy to fly away, the Lord said to me, “Don’t fly away. Stay to be one of the cattle. You need to be a cow. Either produce milk to feed others or bear them as a burden. When your wife gives you a hard time, don’t fly away—give her some milk. Feed her and bear her as a burden.”
30也许你的丈夫或妻子对你而言是死水，又咸又杀死人。你若是一棵树或菜蔬，当然会被杀死。但你若从植物长成鱼，你就能活。过去我见过许多年轻人，在结婚以前真是好，然而一结婚他们就被杀死了。年轻的丈夫被年轻的妻子杀死了，年轻的妻子被年轻的丈夫杀死了。但我也见过一些亲爱的圣徒，他们长成一条活鱼，作妻子的不在乎她们的丈夫有多咸，作丈夫的也不在乎他们的妻子有多咸。他们一直活著。过一段时候，他们从鱼的阶段长大到老鹰的阶段，每当他们有艰难，他们能轻易的超越。逐渐的，生命越长大，他们发觉飞开还不是更高的表现。他们觉察到需要留在地上，产一点奶给家人，并且把他们当担子来背负。当你达到这地步，你亲爱的妻子为难你，你不说甚么，你只把她摆在肩上，把她当担子来背负。当你的妻子与你争论时，你扛著她说，『我把你背上天。』
30Perhaps your husband or your wife is the death water to you, killing and salty. If you are a tree or an herb, you will certainly be killed, but if you have grown from a plant to a fish, you will live. In the past, I saw many young ones who were so good before they were married. Once they married, however, they were killed. The young husbands were killed by the young wives and the young wives were killed by the young husbands. But, I also saw some dear saints who had grown up to be a living fish. The wives didn’t care how salty their husbands were and the husbands didn’t care how salty their wives were. They continued to live. After a certain time, they grew from the fish stage to the eagle stage. Whenever they had some hardship, they simply transcended it. Gradually, after more growth in life, they realized that flying away was not the higher life. They realized that they needed to stay on earth to produce some milk for their folks and to bear their dear folks as a burden. When you reach this stage and your dear wife gives you a difficult time, you don’ts ay anything. You simply put her upon your shoulders and bear her as a burden. While your wife is arguing with you, you put her upon your shoulders and tell her, “I am going to bear you to the heavens
31在撒上六章有一辆载著耶和华约柜的车。你需要负载约柜一部分的重量。你需要作点事，在这地上有些作为，不要飞走。所谓的『属天生活』并不是最高的生活。当你变得那么属天之后，你还必须回到地上。不要仅仅越长越高，还要长得能下来。
31In 1 Samuel 6 there is a cart with the Lord’s ark. You are needed to carry part of the weight of the ark. You need to do something, to have some activity upon this earth. Don’t fly away. The so-called heavenly life is not the highest life. When you become so heavenly, you must return to the earth. Do not simply grow higher and higher, but grow in order to come down
32主耶稣原是神，但为著成就神的定旨，来到地上作一只母牛。祂来牺牲自己，并来背负我们一切的重担。每当人逼迫祂，祂就将逼迫者扛在肩上，并且说，『我要把你带到天上。』这是怎样的生命？太好了。
32The Lord Jesus was God, but for the fulfillment of God’s purpose He came to the earth to be a cow. He came to be sacrificed and He came to bear all of our burdens. Whenever someone persecuted Him, He put that persecutor on His shoulders and said, “I will carry you to the heavens.” What kind of life is this? This is wonderful
33现在我们能看见，创世记一章里的每一点都与生命有关。我请求你们将本篇所有的经节，和所包括的每一点，在祷告里带到主面前。『主，我有了生命。但是主，你知道我还需要第四天的光体。我已经有了第一天的光，但我还需要第四天的光体。主耶稣，我需要你作我的太阳，我需要直接的接触你。我要天天在你的同在里，我要在你的照耀之下。我也需要月亮─召会，并且我也需要众星─得胜的圣徒，发光的圣徒，就是使多人归义的人。我需要那些能使人从黑暗转向光明的人。』你若肯接触作太阳的主，接触作月亮的召会，并接触一些作发光之星的美好圣徒，你就有了第四天的光体。藉著这些光体，你会长大。你里面生命的层次会从植物生命转为动物生命。你会天天长大。然后你就能抵挡一切死亡的光景，也能超越每一种的反对、打岔或试诱。末了你会特意回到地上，行神的旨意。这太好了！
33Now we can see that every point in the first chapter of Genesis is related to life. I ask you to bring all of these verses and all the points included in this message to the Lord in prayer. “Lo rd, I have the life. But Lord, You know that I need the lights of the fourth day. I have the light from the first day already, but I need the lights of the fourth day. Lord Jesus, I need You as the sun. I need to contact You directly. I want to be in Your presence day by day. I want to be under Your shining. I also need the church, the moon. And I need the stars. I need the overcoming saints, the ones who are shining, who turn many to righteousness. I need those who can turn people from darkness to light.” If you will contact the Lord as the sun, the church as the moon, and some good saints as the shining stars, you will have the lights of the fourth day. It is by these lights that you will grow. The plane of life within you will change from the plant life to the animal life. You will grow day by day. Then you will be able to withstand any death situation and be able to transcend every opposition, distraction, or temptation. Eventually, you will return to earth purposely to do God’s will. This is wonderful!
34然而，这还不是具有最高意识的生命，不过是有较高意识的较高生命。我们还需要往前，直到第六天的末了部分。在下篇信息我们要看见，在第六天的末了部分，出现具有最高意识的生命，人的生命，就是彰显神的形像，并且为神管治一切的生命。
34However, this is not the life with the highest consciousness, but the higher life with the higher consciousness. We need to go on to the last part of the sixth day. As we will see in a later message, at the last part of the sixth day comes the life with the highest consciousness, the human life, a life which expresses the image of God and has dominion over all things for God
