约伯记生命读经 · 第27篇

一个在灵里的人

A Person in the Spirit
1读经：启示录1:10;4:2;17:3;21:10。约伯与他三个朋友和以利户的说话，完全缺少运用灵来接触神。他们没有祷告，也没有在灵里与神或彼此交通。虽然他们都是敬虔的人，却没有来在一起祷告，运用灵来摸神。他们没有运用灵，反而运用心思来作诗，炫耀他们的知识。在这事上，以利户跟随年长者的榜样，用同样的方式说话。因此他说，『你们要听我；我也要陈说我所知道的。』（伯三二１０。）我们曾指出，以利户是一个满了善恶知识的人；他不是一个在灵里的人。
1Scripture Reading: Rev. 1:10; 4:2; 17:3; 21:10 The speaking of Job, of his three friends, and of Elihu was altogether lacking in the exercise of the spirit to contact God. They did not pray, and they did not have fellowship with God or with one another in spirit. Although they were godly men, they did not come together to pray by exercising their spirit to touch God. Instead of exercising their spirit, they exercised their mind to compose poetry and to make a display of their knowledge. In this matter, Elihu followed the example of the older ones and spoke in the same way. Therefore, he said, "Hear me;/I too will declare what I know" (32:10). As we have pointed out, Elihu was a person who was full of the knowledge of good and evil. He was not a person in the spirit
当主日我在灵里
IN SPIRIT ON THE LORD'S DAY
2在启示录一开头，约翰说，『当主日我在灵里。』（一１０。）这里的灵不是指神的灵，乃是指人的灵，作我们领略并回应神行动的器官。惟有（我们的）灵能回应（神的）灵。
2In the book of Revelation, at the very beginning, John said, "I was in spirit on the Lord's Day" (1:10). Here the word spirit refers not to the Spirit of God but to the human spirit as the organ for us to realize and respond to God's move. Only spirit (our spirit) can respond to Spirit (God's Spirit
3那时约翰被放逐到拔摩海岛。约翰独自一人，没有召会，没有召会的聚会，也没有与圣徒的交通；但他在灵里。这就是说，约翰是一个留在灵里的人。因为他在灵里，他就在实际里成为基督身体上的肢体，以及新人的一部分。
3At that time John had been exiled to the island of Patmos. John was alone, having no church, church meetings, or fellowship with the saints. Nevertheless, John was in spirit. This means that John was a person who remained in his spirit. Because he was in his spirit, he was in reality a member of the Body of Christ and a part of the new man
在灵里看见异象，
SEEING VISIONS IN SPIRIT
成为一个在灵里的人
AND BECOMING A PERSON IN THE SPIRIT
4约翰在灵里，就看见许多异象，使他写了启示录二十二章圣经。这卷书由四个主要的异象组成：众召会的异象，（一～三，）世界之定命的异象，（四～十六，）大巴比伦的异象，（十七～十八，）新耶路撒冷的异象。（二一～二二。）约翰是在灵里看见这四个异象。（一10，四2，十七3，二一10。）我们要看见这卷书的异象，也必须在灵里。这不仅是在我们心思里头脑的领会，乃是在我们灵里属灵的领略。
4While he was in spirit, John saw a number of visions, resulting in his writing the twenty - two chapters of the book of Revelation. This book is composed of four major visions: (1) the vision of the churches (chs. 1—3); (2) the vision of the destiny of the world (chs. 4—16); (3) the vision of Babylon the Great (chs. 17—18); and (4) the vision of the New Jerusalem (chs. 21 — 22). John was in his spirit when he saw these four visions (1:10; 4:2; 17:3; 21:10). We too need to be in our spirit to see the visions in this book. It is not merely a matter of mental understanding in our mind but of spiritual realization in our spirit.
5约翰首先看见金灯台，作为众召会的象征，（一１２，２０，）指明神对基督之身体的经纶。然后这卷书中有写给七个召会的七封书信。（二～三。）在这七封书信里，我们看见那灵对七个召会说话。之后有诸天之上的景象，（四～五，）七印，（六１～八５，）七号，（八６～十一１９，）和七碗。（十五１～十六２１。）约翰也看见宗教巴比伦的毁灭，（十七１～１８，）物质、商业巴比伦的毁灭，（十八１～２４，）羔羊的婚娶，（十九５～１０，）基督击败并毁灭敌基督，（十九１１～２１，）撒但被捆绑，（二十１～３，）千年国，（二十４～６，）和白色大宝座前的审判。（二十１１～１５。）至终，约翰看见新天新地以及神经纶的终极完成－新耶路撒冷。（二一１～２７。）
5First, John saw the lampstands as the symbols of the churches (1:12, 20), indicating God ' secon o my concerning the Body of Christ. Then in this book there are the seven epistles to the seven churches (chs. 2—3). In these seven epistles we have the speaking of the Spirit to the seven churches. This is followed by the scene in the heavens (chs. 4 — 5), the seven seals (6:1 — 8:5), the seven trumpets (8:6 — 11:19), and the seven bowls (15:1 — 16:21). John also saw the destruction of religious Babylon (17:1-18), the destruction of material, commercial Babylon (18:1-24), the marriage of the Lamb (19:5-10), Christ's defeating and destroying of Antichrist (19:11-21), the binding of Satan (20:1-3), the millennial kingdom (20:4-6), and the judgment of the great white throne (20:11-15). Eventually, John saw the new heaven and the new earth with the ultimate consummation of God'secon o my, the New Jerusalem (21:1-27). Such visions came to him because he was in spirit.
6这些异象临到他，都因他在灵里。

7我年轻时，对研读启示录的豫言非常有兴趣；但今天我对豫言的兴趣减少了，却更愿意藉著思考本书的属灵异象而得著亮光，特别是七个金灯台和新耶路撒冷的异象。在启示录的开头，我们看见地方召会是金灯台；末了我们看见新耶路撒冷是永世里独一、宇宙的金灯台。（二一１０～１１，１８下，２３。）看见启示录里的异象会帮助你成为一个在灵里的人。
7When I was young, I was very interested in studying the prophecies in the book of Revelation. Today I have less interest in the prophecies but more interest in being enlightened by considering the spiritual visions in this book, in particular the visions of the seven lampstands and of the New Jerusalem. At the beginning of Revelation, we have the local churches as the golden lampstands; at the end, we have the New Jerusalem as the unique, universal golden lampstand in eternity (21:10-11, 18b, 23). Seeing the visions in Revelation will help you to be a person in the spirit
学习留在我们的灵里
LEARNING TO REMAIN IN OUR SPIRIT
8许多读启示录的人没有看见一件事：这卷书中看见异象的人没有作甚么，他只是留在人的灵里。当主日约翰在灵里。我们都需要学习监禁在我们的灵里，不从我们的灵里出来。我们必须是一直在灵里的人。我们若是这样的人，别人就无法明白我们，因为在灵里，我们的行动乃是神在我们里面行动。
8Many readers of Revelation fail to see that the seer of the visions in this book was one who was doing nothing but remaining in the human spirit. On the Lord's Day John was in his spirit. We all need to learn to be imprisoned in our spirit and not to get out of our spirit. We must be persons who are in our spirit all the time. If we are this kind of person, others will not be able to understand us because in spirit we are moving as our God is moving in us
9当我们转回灵里，进入我们灵里，甚至在开车时，我们也可以唱诗、赞美或喜乐。我们也可以哭泣著向主祷告说，『主阿，看看你身体的情形。』我们都在某种程度上尝过此事。我们必须被成全、被建立成为这样的人。我们要作爱神的人，要作寻求基督的人，要作得胜者，除了在灵里以外，别无他途。在灵里享受基督和召会你若是一个在灵里的人，就会在灵里与神相会，看见神，并与祂同在。这位神就是终极完成的灵，基督的实际。不仅如此，你有了基督，你就有召会，因为基督是新人的头，召会是身体。这样你就享受身体－召会，也享受头－基督。
9When we turn to our spirit and get into our spirit, even while we are driving, we may sing, praise, or rejoice. We may also cry, weeping as we pray, "Lord, look at the situation of Your Body." We have all tasted this to some extent. We must be perfected and built up to be such persons. There is no other way to be a lover of God, to be a seeker of Christ, or to be an overcomer than to be in spirit. ENJOYING CHRIST AND THE CHURCH IN THE SPIRIT If you are a person in the spirit, then you will be in the spirit to meet God, to see God, and to stay with God. And this God is the consummated Spirit, the reality of Christ. Furthermore, when you have Christ, you have the church because Christ is the Head of the new man and the church is the Body. Then you will enjoy the church, the Body, as well as Christ, the Head.
在灵里之人得胜的祷告，
THE PREVAILING PRAYERS OF A PERSON
乃是在主的行动里行动
IN THE SPIRIT MOVING IN THE LORD'S MOVE
10你在灵里时，就会想到地方召会的事；这会使你为著召会的情形祷告。这样的祷告是真正得胜的祷告，因为你是在灵里祷告，因为你是在灵里，在主的行动里行动。你的祷告乃是主在你里面的行动。你与主，主与你，二者一起行动，一起祷告，这是很甘甜的，与出于责任的祷告、尽本分的祷告大不相同。这是与主甜美交通的祷告。要成为这样的人非常简单，路就是在我们的灵里。我非常喜欢『当主日我在灵里』这句话。约翰先是在灵里，然后听见『有大声音如吹号』。当他转过身来，要看是谁发声与他说话时，就看见七个金灯台的异象。（启一１２。）我们都需要向约翰学习，在灵里来看异象，并在灵里享受主，享受身体，享受那灵对众召会的说话。
10When you are in the spirit, the matters of the local church will come to you, and this will cause you to pray for the situation of the church. These prayers are the real, prevailing prayers because you pray in your spirit and because, in spirit, you are moving in the Lord's move. Your prayer is the Lord's move in you. You and the Lord, the Lord and you, are two moving together and praying together. This is quite sweet and is very different from the prayer that is out of responsibility, obligation, or some kind of duty. This is a prayer in sweet fellowship with the Lord. The way to be such a person is very simple—the way is to be in our spirit. I very much like the phrase "in spirit on the Lord's Day." First, John was in his spirit, and then he heard the voice, a "loud voice like a trumpet." When he turned to see the voice that spoke with him, he saw the vision of the seven golden lampstands (Rev. 1:12). We all need to learn of John to be in our spirit to see the vision and to enjoy the Lord, to enjoy the Body, and to enjoy the speaking of the Spirit to the churches
