基督是神在地上行动的中心（一）

Christ As The Center Of God’s Move On The Earth (1
1读经：诗篇68:1-18，民数记9:15a，10:35，以弗所书4:8，11-12，6:12，2:22。在本篇信息中，我们要开始研读诗篇六十八篇。我们来读这篇诗时，应当将其视作一百五十篇诗当中最高的诗。
1Scripture Reading: Psa. 68:1-18; Num. 9:15a; 10:35; Eph. 4:8, 11-12; 6:12; 2:22 In this message we will begin to study Psalm 68. As we come to this psalm, we should regard it as the highest psalm among the one hundred fifty psalms
2六十八篇极难领会。十一节下半至十三节是一处困难的例子：『传好信息的妇女成了大群。统兵的君王逃跑了，逃跑了。在家等候的妇女，分得了掠物。你们虽然躺卧在羊圈之间，却像鸽子的翅膀镀白银，翎毛镀绿黄色的金。』传好信息、成了大群的妇女是谁？在家等候、分得掠物的妇女是谁？此外，躺卧在羊圈之间的『你们』是谁？何谓镀白银的鸽子翅膀，以及镀绿黄色金的翎毛？我们必须承认，我们很难明白这些事的意义。我们将看见，鸽子、银、金指三一神。鸽子象征神的灵；在豫表里，银表征基督是为著神的救恩完成救赎的救赎主；金表征神的性情。这里金是绿黄色的，绿色表征神圣的生命，黄色表征神圣的荣耀。因此，绿黄色的金，表征神的性情闪耀在祂的生命和荣耀里。这里有三一神－那灵、基督、神－同祂一切的成就来给我们享受。十二节说到分得掠物。这掠物是甚么？就是争战的结果所获得的东西。基督在祂的死、复活、升天里争战，祂所获得的掠物成为我们的享受。基督在祂争战的每一步，都得著一些掠物；祂在祂的死里，在祂的复活里，并在祂的升天里，都获得了掠物；照著歌罗西二章，当时那些恶者尽力要扣留祂。基督所得著、所获得的掠物，实际上就是三一神。这就是说，十二节的掠物是如鸽子的那灵，如银的子基督，以及如金的父神。
2Psalm 68 is extremely difficult to understand. Examples of this difficulty are found in verses 11b through 13. “The women who bear the glad tidings are a great host. / The kings of the armies flee. / They flee! / And she who abides at home / Divides the spoil. / Though you lie among the sheepfolds, / There are dove wings covered with silver, / And its pinions, with greenish yellow gold.” Who are the women who bear the glad tidings and are a great host? Who is she who abides at home and divides the spoil? There seems to be no antecedent for the pronoun “she” here. To whom does this pronoun refer? Furthermore, who is the “you” lying among the sheepfolds? We also need to inquire concerning the dove wings covered with silver and the pinions covered with greenish yellow gold. We must admit that it is difficult for us to know what these things mean and to understand them. As we will see, the dove, the silver, and the gold refer to the Triune God. The dove symbolizes the Spirit of God; in typology silver signifies Christ as the Redeemer who accomplished redemption for God’ss alvation; and gold signifies God in His nature. Here the gold is greenish yellow, with green signifying the divine life and yellow, the divine glory. Hence, greenish yellow gold signifies God in His nature glittering in His life and glory. Here we have the Triune God—the Spirit, Christ, and God—with all His accomplishments for us to enjoy. Verse 12 speaks of dividing the spoil. What is this spoil? It is something reaped as the result of fighting a battle. In His death, resurrection, and ascension, Christ fought the battle, and the spoil reaped by Him has become our enjoyment. Christ gained some spoil in every step of His fighting; He reaped spoil in His death, in His resurrection, and in His ascension, at which time, according to Colossians 2, the evil ones tried to hold Him back. The spoil gained, reaped, by Christ is actually the Triune God. This means that the spoil in verse 12 is the Spirit as the dove, Christ the Son as the silver, and God the Father as the gold.
3为了进一步说明领会六十八篇的困难，我们再看二十五至二十七节。『歌唱的行在前，作乐的随在后，都在击著铃鼓的童女中间。从以色列源头而来的，当在各会中称颂耶和华神。在那里有统管他们的小便雅悯，有成群的犹大首领，有西布伦的首领，有拿弗他利的首领。』你明白这一切么？为甚么题到十二支派中四个支派的名字－便雅悯、犹大、西布伦和拿弗他利，却没有题到其他支派的名字？我们又必须承认，这事很难领会。更难领会的是写六十八篇的原因。诗人为甚么写这篇诗，又为甚么这样写法？要答覆这问题，我们需要来看这篇诗是怎样开始的。一节说，『愿神兴起，使祂的仇敌四散，叫那恨祂的人，从祂面前逃跑。』这是引用摩西在民数记十章三十五节的祷告，那时约柜正要从西乃山出发。摩西带以色列人到西乃山以后，他们留在那里相当长的时间。在那段期间，神藉著摩西颁布律法给他们。然而，那时所发生主要的事不是颁布律法，乃是神嘱咐摩西建造帐幕同约柜、香坛、灯台、陈设饼桌子、洗濯盆、祭坛、和所有的器皿。
3To illustrate further how hard it is to understand Psalm 68, let us also consider verses 25 through 27. “Singers go before; players after; / In the midst of virgins sounding the tambourines. / Bless God in the congregations, / Even Jehovah, O you who are of the fountain of Israel. / There are little Benjamin, who rules them, / And the princes of Judah in their company, / The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.” Do you understand all this? Why are the names of four of the twelve tribes mentioned—Benjamin, Judah, Zebulun, and Naphtali— but not the names of the other tribes? Once again, we must admit that this matter is difficult to understand. An even more difficult matter to understand is the reason Psalm 6 8 was written. Why was this psalm written, and why was it composed in the way it was? In order to answer this question, we need to consider the way the psalm begins. Verse 1 says, “Let God arise; let His enemies be scattered; / And let those who hate Him flee before Him.” This is a quotation of Moses’ prayer in Numbers 10:35, uttered when the ark of the covenant set out from Mount Sinai. After Moses brought the children of Israel to Mount Sinai, they stayed there for quite a long time. During that time, God decreed His law to them through Moses. However, the main thing that happened at that time was not the decreeing of the law but God’s charging Moses to build the tabernacle with the ark, the incense altar, the lampstand, the showbread table, the laver, the altar, and all the utensils.
4神颁布律法并嘱咐摩西建造约柜和帐幕连同所有的器具，目的是甚么？颁布律法，目的是为著暴露并征服以色列人。神要用律法暴露人的软弱、无能、缺点和短处，好使他们领悟自己是罪恶的，不能为祂作甚么。因此，颁布律法是要劝服他们，甚至定罪他们。出埃及十九章说到以色列人在西乃山的经历。一面，他们很惧怕，因他们听见雷轰，看见闪电和密云，并且晓得神在山上与他们同在。另一面，他们以这一切与神有关的事为荣。摩将神所吩咐他的一切话，都在他们面前陈明。百姓回答说，『凡耶和华所说的我们都要遵行。』（8。）摩西将百姓的话告诉主，然后祂就来颁布律法。但甚至在律法颁布给以色列人以前，他们就干犯了十诫，因著拜金牛犊而犯罪了。摩西知道了这事便甚发怒，摔碎两块石版。这里的点是律法赐下，要暴露以色列人，劝服、定罪、征服他们，并使他们领悟他们不能作甚么来讨神喜悦。这是神颁布律法的目的。
4What was God’s purpose in decreeing the law and in charging Moses to build the ark and the tabernacle with all its furnishings? The law was decreed for the purpose of exposing and subduing Israel. God intended to use the law to expose the people’s weakness, in capacity, defects, and shortages in order to make them realize that they were sinful and could do nothing for Him. Thus, the law was decreed to convince them of this and even to condemn them. Exodus 19 speaks of the experience of the children of Israel at Mount Sinai. On the one hand, they were fearful, for they heard the thunder, saw the lightning and the thick cloud, and realized that God was present with them at the mountain. On the other hand, they were proud of all these things concerning God. When Moses laid before them all the words which God had commanded him, the people answered and said, “All that the Lord hath spoken we will do” (v. 8). Moses told the words of the people to the Lord, and then He came in to decree the law. Even before the law had been decreed to the children of Israel, they broke the Ten Commandments and committed sin by worshipping the golden calf. When Moses learned about this, he became angry and broke the two tablets of stone. The point here is that the law was given in order to expose the people of Israel, to convince, condemn, and subdue them, and to cause them to realize that they could not do anything to please God. This was God’s purpose in decreeing the law.
5现在我们需要看见神关于建造帐幕的目的。神要以色列人为祂建造帐幕，使祂能住在他们中间，并使他们能接触祂，甚至与祂同住。然而，因为他们是罪恶的，他们就需要祭坛来顾到他们的罪。此外，他们需要陈设饼桌子以得著属灵的食物，灯台作属灵的光，以及香坛让他们向主祷告。在西乃山那里所建造并竖立的帐幕，是基督这真帐幕的豫表。这真帐幕是藉著基督的成为肉体建立的。约翰一章十四节告诉我们，那是神的话成了肉体，支搭帐幕在我们中间，丰丰满满的有恩典，有实际。以色列人在摩西带领之下所建造的帐幕是豫表或影儿，而耶稣基督，这位成为肉体的神，才是真帐幕，让神住在地上，并让神的百姓接触祂，与祂同住。以色列人在旷野的年间，除了处理律法以及帐幕同祭坛、洗濯盆、陈设饼桌子、灯台、香坛和约柜以外，没有作甚么。每当他们在行程中行动的时候，他们就包扎帐幕及其器具和器皿，并在行动中扛抬这些东西。当他们停下时，就要把帐幕以及与帐幕有关的一切再立起来。
5Now we need to see God’s purpose concerning the building of the tabernacle. God wanted the children of Israel to build Him a tabernacle so that He could dwell among them and they could contact Him and even dwell with Him. However, because they were sinful, they needed an altar to take care of their sins. In addition, they needed the showbread table for spiritual food, the lampstand for spiritual light, and the incense altar for them to pray to the Lord. The tabernacle built and erected at Mount Sinai was a type of Christ as the real tabernacle. This real tabernacle was set up through Christ’sin carnation. John 1:14 tells us that the Word, which is God, became flesh and tabernacled among us, full of grace and reality. Whereas the tabernacle built up by Israel under Moses was a type, or a shadow, Jesus Christ, the incarnated God, is the real tabernacle for God’s dwelling on the earth and for God’sp eople to contact Him and dwell with Him. During their years in the wilderness, the children of Israel did nothing except deal with the law and the tabernacle with the altar, the laver, the showbread table, the lampstand, the incense altar, and the ark. Whenever it was time for them to move on in their journey, they packed up the tabernacle and its furnishings and utensils and carried them with them in their move. Eventually they would stop, and the tabernacle and everything related to it would be set up again
6百姓也必须向神献各种的祭。否则，因著他们干犯神诫命的罪，他们就会被律法定罪。然而，洒在约柜盖上赎罪祭的血，满足了律法的要求，使百姓能有平安，并能接触神。在基督成为肉体以前，神没有作甚么以成就祂新约的经纶。在旧约里，神呼召亚伯拉罕，拣选了他和他的后裔作祂的百姓，祂蒙召的族类。数世纪以后，神将以色列人带到西乃山，训练他们，并帮助他们认识他们的罪恶，因而劝服并征服他们。藉著摩西所颁布的律法是实际的，而帐幕同其一切器具和器皿乃是基督的豫表。然而，神能住在那帐幕里，使百姓有路接触祂。在旧约其余的部分，在所有的历史书和申言者书里，神继续暴露以色列人。祂在约书亚记和士师记里暴露他们；祂在撒母耳记和列王纪里暴露他们；祂在以赛亚书、耶利米书、和其他大小申言者书里，都暴露他们。似乎神没有行动，祂只作一件事－暴露以色列人。
6The people also had to present the various offerings to God. Otherwise, they would have been condemned by the law because of their sins in breaking God’s commandments. However, the blood of the sin offering that was sprinkled on the cover of the ark fulfilled the requirements of the law and enabled the people to be at peace and to contact God. Before the incarnation of Christ, God did not do anything for the accomplishment of His New Testament economy. In the Old Testament, God called Abraham, having chosen him and his descendants to be His people, His called race. Centuries later, God brought the people of Israel to Mount Sinai to train them and to help them to know their sinfulness and thereby to convince and subdue them. Whereas the law decreed through Moses was a reality, the tabernacle with all its furnishings and utensils was a type of Christ. Nevertheless, God could dwell in that tabernacle, and the people had a way to contact Him. Throughout the remainder of the Old Testament, in all the books of history and of the prophets, God continued to expose Israel. He exposed them in Joshua and in Judges; He exposed them in the books of Samuel and of the Kings; and He exposed them in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and all the other prophets, both major and minor. It seems that God did not move but rather did only one thing—expose the people of Israel.
7神在地上为著祂新约经纶的行动，开始于成为肉体；神来作子，好成为肉体。成为肉体是又真又活之帐幕的建立。因此，成为肉体的基督，乃是神住在其中，并藉此在地上行动的真帐幕。从成为肉体开始，神就开始在地上为著祂新约的经纶行动，行走。祂在地上行动三十三年半，然后在祂死而复活以后，升到诸天之上。68:1-神在基督里的行动，描绘在诗篇六十八篇一至十八节。我们看过一节上半说，『愿神兴起』，神的确兴起行动。神藉著甚么行动？祂乃是藉著帐幕行动。没有帐幕，神就无法行动。这指明神在基督里并藉著基督行动；没有基督，神就无法在地上行动。三一神在基督里作长途『旅行』，这个旅行持续了三十三年半，结束于基督升到第三层天。在豫表里，神为著祂新约经纶的这个旅行，这个行动，在六十八篇里描绘为神同以色列从西乃到锡安的行程。西乃是颁布律法的地方，锡安是行走的三一神与祂百姓的目的地。我们思想这点时，需要领悟这里有两个行程－豫表里的行程和实际里的行程。豫表里的行程，是神同以色列从西乃经旷野到锡安的行程。实际里的行程，也就是神在地上真实的行动，乃是神在基督这真帐幕里，开始于成为肉体而结束于升到天上锡安的行程。
7God’s move on earth for His New Testament economy began with the incarnation, with God’s coming as the Son to be incarnated. The incarnation was the setting up of the real and living tabernacle. Thus, the incarnate Christ was the real tabernacle in whom God dwelled and through whom He could move on earth. Beginning with the incarnation, God began to move, to walk, on earth for His New Testament economy. He moved on the earth for thirty-three and a half years and then, after His death and resurrection, ascended to the heavens. This move of God in Christ is portrayed in Psalm 18. We have seen that the first part of verse 1 says, “Let God arise,” and God did rise up to move. Through what did God move? He moved through the tabernacle. Without the tabernacle, God could not move. This indicates that God moves in Christ and through Christ. Without Christ, God cannot move on the earth. In Christ the Triune God made along “tour,” a tour that lasted thirty-three and a half years and that ended with Christ’s ascension to the third heaven. In typology, this tour, this move, of God for His New Testament economy is pictured in Psalm 6 8 as the journey of God with Israel from Sinai to Zion. Sinai was the place where the law was decreed, and Zion was the destination of the traveling Triune God and His people. As we consider this, we need to realize that there have been two journeys—a journey in type and a journey in reality. The journey in type was the journey of God with Israel from Sinai through the wilderness to Zion. The journey in reality, the actual move of God on the earth, was the journey of God in Christ as the real tabernacle starting from the incarnation and ending with the ascension to the heavenly Zion.
8六十八篇是神行程的豫表，其事实和实际是在新约里。神在地上真实的行程，神在地上真正的行动，乃是祂在基督这真帐幕同真约柜里的行动。要领会这真正的行程，我们需要研读六十八篇，这篇诗帮助我们看见，基督从祂成为肉体到升天的个人生活，乃是三一神的行程，行动。我们若领悟这点，就豫备好可以详细来看六十八篇前十八节。
8In Psalm 68 we have the type of God’s journey, and in the New Testament we have the fact and the reality. God’s actual journey on the earth, His real move on the earth, was His move in Christ, the real tabernacle with the real ark. In order to understand this real journey, we need to study Psalm 68, a psalm that helps us to see that Christ’s personal life from His incarnation to His ascension was the journey, the move, of the Triune God. If we realize this, we are ready to consider the first eighteen verses of Psalm 68 in some detail.
9六十八篇是所有诗篇里关于基督之神圣启示的最高点，是以诗的体裁写的，带有豫表和表号，描绘神在地上，在基督这位三一神包罗万有之具体化身里行动的九个步骤。
9Psalm 68 is the highest peak of the divine revelation concerning Christ in all the Psalms. It is written in poetry, with types and signs, portraying the nine steps in God’s move on the earth in Christ, the all-inclusive embodiment of the Triune God
壹 神在作祂居所之帐幕里的行动，以约柜为中心
I. God’s move Within the tabernacle as His dwelling place with the ark as the center
10六十八篇说到神在作祂居所之帐幕（豫表基督）里的行动，以约柜（豫表基督）为中心。帐幕同约柜在以色列人中间旅行四十年，直至到达锡安。这个旅行是神在地上真正行动的豫表，影儿。
10Psalm 68 is about God’s move within the tabernacle (typifying Christ) as His dwelling place with the ark (typifying Christ) as the center. The tabernacle with the ark traveled among the children of Israel for forty years until it arrived at Zion. This traveling was a type, a shadow, of God’s real move on the earth
一 在颁布律法以暴露、劝服、定罪以色列以后
A. After the Decree of the Law for the Exposing, Convincing, and Condemning of Israel
11这个行动开始于颁布律法以暴露、劝服、定罪以色列以后。这就是说，神在帐幕里的行动，开始于神得著了一班由律法所豫备，并在律法之下受了训练，好与祂同行的人以后。二在竖立约柜的帐幕以后神这行动开始于竖立约柜的帐幕（表征基督成为肉体，作神在地上的居所，以祂自己为神在祂经纶中行动的中心）以后。（约一14上，民九15上。）这就是说，只有当神确立了帐幕同约柜这条路，使祂在其中能与祂的子民同在，并且他们在其中能接触祂，且与祂同在时，神才能在地上行动。在旧约里有豫表，但在新约里有基督作约柜之帐幕的实际。
11This move began after the decree of the law for the exposing, convincing, and condemning of Israel. This means that God’s move within the tabernacle began after God had gained a people who had been prepared by the law and trained under the law to go along with Him. B. After the Rearing Up of the Tabernacle of the Ark This move of God began after the rearing up of the tabernacle of the ark, signifying Christ incarnated to be the dwelling place of God on the earth with Himself as the center for God’s move in His economy (John 1:14a; Num. 9:15a). This means that God could move on earth only after He had established a way—the tabernacle with the ark—in which He could be with His people and in which they could contact Him and be with Him. In the Old Testament we have the type, but in the New Testament we have Christ as the reality of the tabernacle of the ark
三 在祂的选民以色列中间
C. In the Midst of Israel, His Elect
12神在帐幕里的行动，是在祂的选民以色列中间。
12God’s move within the tabernacle was in the midst of Israel, His elect
13四从西乃经旷野到锡安山这个行动是从西乃（表征律法－诗六八8下，17下），经旷野（表征地－4下，7下），到锡安山神的居所（表征神在诸天之上的居所－弗四8上）。（诗六八16。）
13D. From Sinai through the Wilderness to Mount Zion This move was from Sinai, signifying from the law (Psa. 68:8b, 17b), through the wilderness, signifying the earth (vv. 4b, 7b), to Mount Zion, God’s dwelling place (v. 16), signifying God’s dwelling place in the heavens (Eph. 4:8a).
五 神的选民以色列在神里面夸胜
E. Israel, God’sElect, Triumphing in God
14诗篇六十八篇四节说，『你们当向神唱诗，歌颂祂的名；在那坐车行过旷野的里面夸胜。祂的名是耶和华，要在祂面前欢腾。』这指明神的选民以色列在那坐车行过旷野的神里面夸胜，并在祂面前欢腾。今天我们该因神在地上的行动，因祂从成为肉体到升天的行动，夸胜并欢腾。
14Psalm 68:4 says, “Sing to God; sing psalms to His name; / Triumph in Him who rides through the deserts—/ For Jah is His name—and exult before Him.” This indicates that Israel, God’select, triumphed in God, who rode through the deserts, and exulted before Him. Today we should triumph and exult in the move of God on earth, in His move from incarnation to ascension
贰 神在以基督为中心（由约柜所豫表）里的得胜
II. God’s Victory in Christ as the Center, Typified by the ArK
一 摩西求耶和华兴起的祷告
A. Moses’ Prayer for Jehovah to Arise
15一节有神选民的代表摩西，求耶和华兴起，使祂的仇敌四散的祷告。（14。）这里仇敌豫表撒但和他在诸天界里的势力。（弗六12。）这祷告实际上是所有神选民的切望。
15In verse 1 we have the prayer of Moses, the representative of God’select, for Jehovah to arise and for His enemies to be scattered (v. 14). The enemies here typify Satan and his forces in the heavenlies (Eph. 6:12). This prayer was actually the aspiration of all God’select people
1 祂仇敌统兵的君王逃跑
1. The Kings of His Enemies’ Armies Fleeing
16『统兵的君王逃跑了，逃跑了。』（诗六八12上。）这些失败并四散的君王，豫表撒但和掌权者。（弗六12。）
16The kings of the armies flee. / They flee!” (Psa. 68:12a). These kings, who were defeated and scattered, typify Satan and the rulers (Eph. 6:12
172大群以色列妇女传好信息『传好信息的妇女成了大群。』（诗六八11下。）这些以色列妇女表征软弱的人。我们信徒今天是软弱的人，除了传报好信息以外，甚么也不能作。
172). A Great Host of Women of Israel Bearing Glad Tidings The women who bear the glad tidings are a great host” Psa. 68:11b). These women of Israel signify the weak ones. As believers today, we are the weak ones, those who cannot do anything except bear, preach, the glad tidings
3 在家等候的妇女分得掠物
3. She Who Abides at Home Dividing the Spoil
18『在家等候的妇女，分得了掠物。』（12下。）这里的『妇女』是集体的，指十一节的妇女。在家等候，表征不作工。掠物，表征基督所成就的、所完成的、所达到的、所得著的一切所获，就是祂的死、复活、和升天之得胜的收获。这掠物包括镀白银的鸽子翅膀，以及镀绿黄色金的翎毛。
18She who abides at home / Divides the spoil” (v. 12b). The “she” here is collective and refers to the women in verse 11. To abide at home signifies not to be at work. The spoil signifies all the gains of the accomplishment, consummation, attainment, and obtainment of Christ as the reapings of the victory of His death, resurrection, and ascension. This spoil includes dove wings covered with silver and pinions covered with greenish yellow gold
她们虽然躺卧在羊圈之间
a. Though They Lie among the Sheepfolds
19她们虽然躺卧在羊圈之间，（13上，）却要分得掠物。十三节上半的『你们』，指十二节集体的妇女，和十一节的妇女。躺卧在羊圈之间，表征安息在神对祂选民的供备和照顾中。
19They will divide the spoil even though they lie among the sheepfolds (v. 13a). The “you” in verse 13a refers to the collective “she” in verse 12 and the women in verse 11. Lying among the sheepfolds signifies resting in God’spr o vision and care for His elect.
掠物有四项
b. There Being Four Items
20十三节下半给我们看见掠物有四项。
20Verse 13b shows us that there are four items among the spoil
（一） 鸽子的翅膀
1) Dove Wings
21鸽子的翅膀，表征那灵行动的能力。
21The dove wings signify the moving power of the Spirit
（二） 白银
2) White Silver
22鸽子的翅膀镀白银。银表征基督的救赎，使我们得称义，就是白色－蒙称许的颜色－所指明的。
22The dove wings are covered with white silver. Silver signifies Christ in His redemption for our justification, which is indicated by the color white, the color of approval
（三） 翎毛
3) Pinions
23翎毛是鸟翅末端的羽毛。翎毛给鸟力量飞翔并升腾。因此在十三节下半，『翎毛』表征那灵升腾的能力。
23The pinions are feathers at the end of a bird’swings. The pinions give a bird the strength to fly and to soar. Hence, in verse 13b “its pinions” signify the soaring power of the Spirit
（四） 镀绿黄色闪耀的金
4) Greenish Yellow, Glittering Gold
24翎毛所镀绿黄色闪耀的金，表征神的性情闪耀在神圣的生命和荣耀里。
24The greenish yellow, glittering gold with which the pinions are covered signifies God’s nature glittering in the divine life and glory
（五） 这四项的内容，实际上是三一神同祂完整、完全、包罗万有之救恩的一切项目
5) The Contents of the Four Items Actually Being the Triune God with All the Items of His Complete, Full, and All-inclusive Salvation
25以上四项的内容，乃是基督在祂得胜里的掠物，作神选民的享受；这四项实际上就是三一神同祂完整、完全、包罗万有之救恩的一切项目。『鸽子』，表征那灵同其行动并升腾的能力；『白银』，表征基督同其包罗万有的救赎，使祂的信徒得称义，以进入祂完全的救恩里；『绿黄色的金』，表征神的性情闪耀在祂的生命和荣耀里。基督和神都是凭那灵的能力带进的：基督是凭那灵行动的能力，神是凭那灵升腾的能力。
25The contents of the above four items, as Christ’s spoil in His victory for the enjoyment of God’select, are actually the Triune God with all the items of His complete, full, and all-inclusive salvation. “Dove” signifies the Spirit with His moving and soaring power; “white silver” signifies Christ in His all-inclusive redemption for His believers’ justification as the entrance into His full salvation; and “greenish yellow gold” signifies God in His nature glittering in His life and glory. Both Christ and God are brought in by the Spirit’s power: Christ by the Spirit’s moving power and God by the Spirit’ss o a ring power
（六） 神的选民享受这些项目，作他们在基督里的分，并向别人宣报的好信息
6) God’sElect Enjoying These Items as Their Portion in Christ and Announcing Them to Others as the Glad Tidings
26十一节指明神的选民享受以上一切项目，作他们在基督里的分，并向别人宣报的好信息。一面，我们是大群传好信息的妇女。另一面，我们安息的享受我们在基督里的分，享受三一神－那灵如鸽子，子基督如银，父神如金。那灵如鸽子，同著如银的基督，及如金的神行动。我们传好信息的时候，就享受三一神作为基督为我们所得著的掠物。
26Verse 11 indicates that God’select enjoy all the above items as their portion in Christ and announce them to others as the glad tidings. On the one hand, we are the great host of women bearing, preaching, the glad tidings. On the other hand, we are restfully enjoying our portion in Christ, enjoying the Triune God — the Spirit as the dove, Christ the Son as the silver, and God the Father as the gold. The Spirit as the dove moves with Christ as the silver and with God as the gold. While we are preaching the glad tidings, we are enjoying the Triune God as the spoil gained for us by Christ.
二 基督领著那些被掳的
B. Christ Leading Those Taken Captive
27十八节下半说，『掳掠了那些被掳的。』这里『那些被掳的』指基督的信徒。我们在得救以前是罪人和神的仇敌，也是被撒但所掳掠并监禁的。我们是『那些被掳的』。但基督击败撒但并掳掠他的俘掳，包括我们在内。然后，基督像领著俘虏的将军一样，在祂升到诸天之上时，将我们领到父面前。
27Verse 18b says, “You have led captive those taken captive.” Here “those taken captive” refers to the believers of Christ. Before we were saved, we were sinners and enemies of God, and we had been taken captive by Satan and imprisoned. We were “those taken captive.” But Christ defeated Satan and captured his captives, including us. Then, like a general leading his captives, Christ in His ascension to the heavens led us to the Father
参 基督的升天
III. CHRIST’S ASCENSION
28六十八篇说到基督的升天。（诗六八18上，弗四8上。）
28Psalm 68 speaks concerning Christ’s ascension (v. 18a; Eph. 4:8a
一 升上高处
A. Ascending on High
29诗篇六十八篇十八节上半说，『你已经升上高处。』这是指宇宙的最高处。（参赛十四13下。）
29Psalm 68:18a says, “You have ascended on high.” This refers to the highest peak in the universe (cf. Isa. 14:13b
二 掳掠那些被掳掠的，包括在那列被征服的仇敌中
B. Leading Captive Those Taken Captive, Included in the Train of Vanquished Foes
30我们已经指出，基督在祂的升天里，掳掠了那些被掳掠的。现在我们需要看见这些人，基督所救赎的人，包括在那列被征服的仇敌中。扩大本新约圣经（AmplifiedNewTestament）将『祂...掳掠了那些被掳的』，（弗四8，）译为『祂...帅领了一列被征服的仇敌』。基督升天时，有一列被征服，成了战俘的仇敌，庆祝基督的得胜。虽然歌罗西二章指明，基督升天时，邪灵想要拦阻祂，然而基督领著一列被征服的仇敌，升到父面前。祂不是空手显在父面前，乃是有许多被征服的仇敌随著祂。
30As we have pointed out, in His ascension Christ led captive those taken captive. Now we need to see that these ones, the redeemed of Christ, are included in the train of vanquished foes. The Amplified New Testament renders “He led captive those taken captive” (Eph. 4:8) as “He led a train of vanquished foes.” In Christ’s ascension there was a procession of these vanquished foes, led as captives from a war, for a celebration of Christ’s victory. Although, as Colossians 2 indicates, the evil spirits tried to hinder Christ in His ascension, Christ nevertheless ascended to the Father leading a train of vanquished foes. He did not appear before the Father empty-handed but had a great many vanquished foes following Him
肆 基督受了恩赐
IV. CHRIST RECEIVING THE GIFTS
31诗篇六十八篇十八节也启示基督受了恩赐。
31Psalm 68:18 also reveals the matter of Christ receiving the gifts.
一 在人间，就是在悖逆的人间，受了恩赐
A. Taking the Gifts among Men, even the Rebellious Ones
32『你在人间，就是在悖逆的人间，受了恩赐。』（18下。）基督升到父面前时，将一切祂所掳掠而带著的人呈献给父。然后父将这些被掳掠的人都归还基督，使他们各人成为基督的恩赐。我们众人原是被撒但监禁的俘虏，但我们已被基督掳掠，被基督呈献给父，然后被父当作恩赐赐给基督。虽然我们这些恩赐在大小和品质上不同，但我们都是父赐给升天基督的恩赐。
32You have taken gifts among men, / Even the rebellious ones” (v. 18b). When Christ ascended to the Father, He presented to the Father all the ones He had captured and brought with Him. The Father then returned all these captured ones to Christ, making each one of them a gift to Christ. We all were held captive by Satan in his prison, but we have been captured by Christ, presented by Christ to the Father, and then given to Christ by the Father as gifts. Although as gifts we may differ in size and quality, we all are gifts given by the Father to the ascended Christ
二 恩赐成为有恩赐的信徒
B. The Gifts Becoming the Gifted Believers
33基督所接受的恩赐，成了有恩赐的信徒，如使徒、申言者、传福音者、牧人和教师。（弗四11。）我们不该相信谎言，以为我们不是恩赐或没有恩赐。每个得救的人都是有恩赐的信徒。
33The gifts received by Christ have become the gifted believers, like the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the shepherds and teachers (Eph. 4:11). We should not believe the lie that we are not a gift or that we have not been gifted. Every saved person is a gifted believer
伍 建造神的居所
V. The building up of the dwelling place for God
34诗篇六十八篇十八节下半说，『叫耶和华神可以住在他们中间。』这指明基督用所有的恩赐，建造神的居所。这里的居所表征召会是神的居所。（弗二22。）如以弗所四章所启示的，所有的恩赐都作同样职事的工作，建造基督的身体，作今天神在地上的居所。
34The last part of Psalm 68:18 says, “That Jehovah God may dwell among them.” This indicates that Christ uses all the gifts to build up the dwelling place for God. The dwelling place here signifies the church as God’s habitation (Eph. 2:22). As Ephesians 4 reveals, all the gifts do the same work of the ministry to build up the Body of Christ as God’s dwelling place on earth today
一 这些恩赐，就是有恩赐的人，被建造在一起，成为神的居所
A. The Gifts as the Gifted Persons Builded Together to Be the Dwelling Place for God
35这些恩赐，就是有恩赐的人－在基督里的信徒－被建造在一起，成为神的居所。这居所表征召会，基督的身体。（弗四11～12。）
35The gifts as the gifted persons, the believers in Christ, are builded together to be the dwelling place for God. This dwelling place signifies the church, the Body of Christ (Eph. 4:11-12
二 这居所也是信徒的居所
B. This Dwelling Place Being Also the Habitation of the Believers
36『神在祂的圣所作孤儿的父，作寡妇的伸冤者。神叫孤独的有家，使被囚的出来享福』（诗六八5～6上。）这里我们看见，神的居所也是信徒（穷乏、孤苦、被囚之人）的居所。今天我们都是穷乏的人（孤儿和寡妇）、被囚的人（囚犯）和孤独的人，而召会是我们的居所。召会乃是包括这些人的建造。
36“A Father to the orphans and a Judge for the widows / Is God in His holy habitation. / God causes the solitary to dwell in a household” (Psa. 68:5-6a). Here we see that God’s dwelling place is also the habitation of the believers, the needy, the solitary, and the bound ones. Today we all are the needy ones (the orphans and widows), the bound ones (the prisoners), and the solitary ones, and the church is our dwelling place. The church is a building that includes such people.
三 神这居所建造在锡安山上
C. This Dwelling Place of God Being Built on Mount Zion
37『巴珊山是大能的山。巴珊山是多峰多岭的山。多峰多岭的山哪，为何嫉视神所愿居住的山？耶和华必住这山，直到永远。』（15～。）『神所愿居住的山』是锡安山。神的居所建造在锡安山上；锡安山表征宇宙的最高处，就是诸天之上。
37“O mighty mountain, O mountain of Bashan, / O many- peaked mountain, O mountain of Bashan: / Why do you look with envy, O many - peaked mountain, / At the mountain on which God desires to dwell? / Indeed Jehovah will dwell there forever” (v v. 1 5-1 6). The 16 “mountain on which God desires to dwell” is Mount Zion. The dwelling place of God is built on Mount Zion, signifying the highest peak in the universe, the heavens.
38建造的召会乃是在诸天之上。我们在诸天之上或在地上，乃在于我们有没有被建造。我们若没有被建造，就是在地上；我们若已经被建造，就是在天上。每当一地的圣徒分裂、分散，他们就是在地上，甚至更糟，在地底下。但每当一地的圣徒被建造在一起，他们就在诸天之上。这是在神新约的经纶里，神在基督里从成为肉体到升天之行动上美妙之事的一面。
38The builded church is in the heavens. Whether we are in the heavens or on the earth depends on whether or not we have been built up. If we have not been built up, we are earthly. If we have been built up, we are heavenly. Whenever the saints in a locality are divided and scattered, they are on the earth or, even worse, below the earth. But whenever the saints in a locality are built up together, they are in the heavens. This is an aspect of the wonderful things in God’s New Testament economy, in His move in Christ from incarnation to ascension
