拾 贰、建造神的殿和他自己的宫室
XII. Building The Temple Of God With His Own Palaces
2王上六至八章记载所罗门建造神的殿和他自己的宫室。殿是基督的豫表,也是基督身体的豫表。一、以色列人出埃及后
2In chapters six through eight we have an account of Solomon’s building the temple of God with his own palaces. The temple was a type of Christ and also of the Body of Christ. A. Beginning in the Four Hundred Eightieth Year
四百八十年开工
after Israel Came out of Egypt
3以色列人出埃及后四百八十年,所罗门作王第四年,就是主前一一二年,开工建殿,就是耶和华的殿。(六1。)我们的神何等的忍耐!祂将一班人领出埃及,目的是要建造祂的国和祂的家,就是殿。但祂的选民不与祂合作,所以祂无法成就这事,直到大卫的时候;这就是大卫使神喜悦的原因,祂是合乎神心的人。神的心在于祂的国同祂的家;然而,一直没有顾到神心愿的人,直到大卫的时候。大卫是合乎神心的人,在地上建立国,并在地上为著神自己建造殿。虽然这殿是在所罗门作王第四年开工,但为著建殿的一切,都是大卫豫备的。
3The building of the temple, the house of Jehovah, began in the four hundred eightieth year after Israel came out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, 1012 B.C. (6:1). How patient our God is! He brought a people out of Egypt with the intention to build up His kingdom and His home, the temple. But His elect did not cooperate with Him; therefore, He could not accomplish this until the time of David. This is why David was so pleasant to God; he was a man according to God’she art. God’she art was on His kingdom with His home. However, there was not a person who would take care of God’she art’s desire until David. David was a man according to God’s desire to build up a kingdom and to have a house built up for Himself on the earth. Although this building began in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, everything for the building up of the temple was prepared by David
二 、在锡安山的地基上
B. On the Ground of Mount Zion
4殿建造在锡安山的地基上,锡安山称为摩利亚山,就是亚伯拉罕献以撒,(创二二2,)以及大卫向耶和华献祭的地方。(代上二一18~二二1,代下三1。)藉此我们能看见,圣经是关于神经纶的记载。以撒是基督的豫表,基督就是在以撒被献给神的同一座山上被钉十字架。
4The temple was built on the ground of Mount Zion, which was called Mount Moriah, where Abraham offered Isaac (Gen. 22:2) and David offered his sacrifice to Jehovah (1 Chron. 21:18—22:1; 2 Chron. 3:1). By this we can see that the Bible is a record concerning God’secon o my. Isaac was a type of Christ, who was crucified on the same mount where Isaac was offered to God
三 、根据耶和华向大卫所应许的话
C. According to the Promise of Jehovah Given to David
5所罗门建殿是根据耶和华向大卫所1应许的话。(撒下七12~13,王上五5。)
5Solomon’s building of the temple was according to the promise of Jehovah given to David (2 Sam. 7:12-13; Kings 5:5).
四 、照著他父亲大卫王的嘱咐
D. According to His Father King David’s Charge
6所罗门照著他父亲大卫王的嘱咐建殿。(代上二二6~11。)这指明所罗门不是轻率的作事,乃是照著他父亲的指示作每件事。五、用他父亲大卫所豫备的材料所罗门用他父亲大卫豫备的材料建殿。(代上二二13~16。)六、照著神所给大卫的样式所罗门不是照著他智慧的心思建殿,乃是照著神所给大卫的样式建殿。(代上二八11~19。)
6Solomon built the temple according to his father King David’s charge (1 Chron. 22:6-11). This indicates that Solomon did nothing in a light way but did everything according to his father’s instructions. E. With the Materials Prepared by His Father David Solomon built the temple with the materials prepared by his father David (1 Chron. 22:14-16). F. According to the Design Given by God to David Solomon did not build the temple according to his wise mind. Rather, he built it according to God’sown design given to David (1 Chron. 28:11-19).
七 、建造神殿及其一切器具的材料,以及这些材料在豫表上的意义
G. The Materials for the Building of God’sTem ple and All Its Furniture and Their Significance sin Typology
7建造神殿及其一切器具的材料,在豫表上都有其意义。
7All the materials for the building of God’stem ple and all its furniture have their significance in typology
1 .金
1. Gold
8金表征神的神圣性情,就是神性。(王上六20~22。)
8Gold signifies God’s divine nature, divinity (1 Kings 6:20-22
2 .木
2. Wood
9不同种类的木头表征基督人性的不同方面。
9The different kinds of wood signify different aspects of Christ’s humanity
a.香柏木
a. Cedar
10香柏木表征基督在复活里的人性,就是复活的基督。(9,10下,15上,16,36。)
10Cedar signifies Christ’s humanity in resurrection, the resurrected Christ (vv. 9, 10b, 15a, 16
b.松木
b. Cypress
11松木表征基督在祂的死里的人性,就是钉十字架的耶稣。(15下,34。)
11Cypress signifies Christ’s humanity in His death, the crucified Jesus (vv. 15b, 34
c.橄榄木
c. Olive Wood
12橄榄木表征基督在神的灵里的人性,就是受膏的基督。(23,31~33。)
12Olive wood signifies Christ’s humanity in the Spirit of God, the anointed Christ (vv. 23, 31-33
3 .宝贵的石头
3. Costly Stones
13宝贵的石头表征基督在变化里的人性,就是变化的基督。(六7,36,五17。)不但我们需要变化,基督也需要变化。基督是神,在祂成为肉体时穿上人的肉体。话成了肉体。(约一14。)基督既成了在肉体里的人,就是在罪之肉体的样式里。(罗八3。)因此祂人性的部分需要变化。
13Costly stones signify Christ’s humanity in transformation, the transformed Christ (vv. 7, 36; 5:17). Not only do we need transformation; Christ also needed transformation. As God, Christ in His incarnation put on man’s flesh. The Word became flesh (John 1:14). Having become a man in the flesh, Christ was in the likeness of the flesh of sin (Rom. 8:3). He therefore needed transformation in His human part.
4 .铜
4. Bronze
14铜表征在神审判下的基督,就是受审判的基督。(王上七15~16,27,30。)
14Bronze signifies Christ under God’s judgment, the judged Christ (1 Kings 7:15-16, 27, 30
八 、建筑的主要项目,及其在豫表上的意义
H. The Main Items of the Building and Their Significances in Typology
15建筑的主要项目,也有其在豫表上的意义。
15The main items of the building also have their significances in typology
1 .殿
1. The Temple
16殿顶替帐幕,作神在地上的居所。(六1~2。)
16The temple replaced the tabernacle as God’s dwelling on earth (6:1-2
a.表征成为肉体的基督作神在地上的居所
a. Signifying the Incarnated Christ as God’s Dwelling on the Earth
17殿首先表征成为肉体的基督作神在地上的居所。(约二19~21,一14,太十二6。)
17The temple first signifies the incarnated Christ as God’s dwelling on the earth (John 2:19-21; 1:14; Matt. 12:6
b.表征召会
b. Signifying the Church
18殿也表征召会,包括所有的信徒-基督的肢体,作基督的扩大,成为神在地上的居所。(林前三16,六19,弗二21~22。)殿表征基督与召会,因为召会与基督乃是一。基督是头,召会是身体。身体是头的扩大,作神的居所。因此,神住在基督里,就是神住在召会里。
18The temple also signifies the church, including all the believers, the members of Christ, as the enlargement of Christ to be God’s dwelling on the earth (1 Cor. 3:16; 6:19; Eph. 2:21-22). The temple signifies both Christ and the church because the church and Christ are one. Christ is the Head and the church is the Body. The Body is the enlargement of the Head for God’s dwelling. Hence, for God to dwell in Christ is for God to dwell in the church
c.其尺寸
c. Its Size
19殿的尺寸为长六十肘,宽二十肘,高三十肘。(王上六2。)我们该将这尺寸与帐幕的尺寸作个比较-帐幕的尺寸为长三十肘,宽十肘,高十肘。(出二六7~23,参出埃及记生
19The size of the temple was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high (1 Kings 6:2). We should compare this with the size of the tabernacle— thirty cubits long, ten cubits wide, and ten cubits high (Exo. 26:16-23
20命读经第九十六至九十七篇。)
20
d.其窗户为著空气和光
d. Its Windows for Air and Light
21殿的窗户是为著空气和光,表征赐生命之灵的交通带来属灵的空气和神圣的光。(王上六4。)
21The windows of the temple were for air and light, signifying the life-giving Spirit’s fellowship bringing the spiritual air and the divine light (1 Kings 6:4a).
e.其严紧的窗櫺
e. Its Fixed Lattices
22其严紧的窗櫺使窗户得以敞开,又能挡住消极的东西。(4。)这表征赐生命之灵的交通使神圣的交通敞开,并保护房间不受一切消极事物的侵入。
22Its fixed lattices were for keeping the windows open and the negative things away (v. 4b). This signifies the fellowship of the life-giving Spirit keeping the opening for the divine communication and protecting the room from the invasion of all negative matters and things.
f.前廊
f. The Front Portico
23殿的前廊,是容纳人的地方,(3,)表征殿向著人是敞开、接纳、接受的。(如同一幢大建筑的大厅。)
23The front portico of the temple, a space to receive people (v. 3), signifies the opening, the accepting, and the receiving of the temple to the people (like the lobby of a magnificent building
g.外殿,圣所
g. The Outer Temple, the Holy Place
24外殿,就是圣所,表征信徒的魂作神的殿,圣别归神。(5上。)
24The outer temple, the Holy Place, signifies the soul of the believers as God’stem ple sanctified unto God (v. 5a
h.内殿,至圣所
h. The Innermost Sanctuary, the Holy of Holies
25内殿,就是至圣所,表征信徒的灵作神的殿,其尺寸长宽高都相等,如同新耶路撒冷,那是最大型的至圣所。(王上六5中,16,20,启二一16。)
25The innermost sanctuary, the Holy of Holies, signifies the spirit of the believers as God’stem ple, the same in its three dimensions, as is the New Jerusalem, the largest form of the Holy of Holies (vv. 5b, 16, 20; Rev. 21:16
i.旁屋
i. The Side Chambers
26旁屋表征基督那追测不尽的丰富成为祂的延伸,作祂的丰满。(王上六5下。)我们在基督里的信徒是殿,也是旁屋,就是基督的延伸,作祂的丰满。
26The side chambers signify the unsearchable riches of Christ becoming His extension as His fullness (1 Kings 6:5c). As believers in Christ, we are the temple and we are also the side chambers, the extension of Christ as His fullness
(一) 有三层
1) In Three Stories
27旁屋有三层,表征在三一神里,并在基督的复活里。(6。)
27The side chambers were in three stories, signifying being in the Triune God and in Christ’s resurrection (v. 6
(二) 其宽度
2) Their Widths
28第一层(下层)宽五肘,第二层(中层)宽六肘,第三层(上层)宽七肘,表征召会作基督的丰满,越高越宽广。
28The width of the first story was five cubits; the second, six cubits; and the third, seven cubits (v. 6). This signifies that the higher the church as Christ’s fullness goes, the wider it is
(三) 其门
3) Their Door
29旁屋的门表征召会作基督之丰满的来往交通。(8上。)旁屋是分开的,却有门相通。若没有门,就指明自治。今天,有些地方召会或者没有门,或者关上门;这是断绝众召会之间的交通。门越宽,交通越丰富。因此,众地方召会作基督的旁屋,该使他们的门宽敞。
29The door of the side chambers signifies the communication, the fellowship, of the church as the fullness of Christ (v. 8a). The side chambers were separate, but there was a door for communication. If there had been no door, that would have indicated autonomy. Today, some local churches either have no doors or they close their doors. They cut off fellowship between the churches. The wider the door, the richer the fellowship. Hence, all the local churches as chambers of Christ should widen their doors.
(四) 螺旋的楼梯
4) The Winding Stairs
30螺旋的楼梯表征进入召会(基督的丰满)的路是盘旋没有转角的。(8下。)这指明众召会之间的交通不该有转角。交通该藉著盘旋的楼梯,一直往上去,像新耶路撒冷的街道一样。(启二二1。)在新耶路撒冷里,从神宝座所在的山上,一道河呈螺旋形流至街道,达到所有十二个门。
30The winding stairs signify that the way to get into the church as the fullness of Christ is spiral without corners (v. 8b). This indicates that the fellowship between the churches should not have corners. Rather, the fellowship should continue to go up and up by a spiral stairway, like the street in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 22:1). In the New Jerusalem, from the mount where God’s throne is, a river flows down the street in the form of a spiral to reach all the twelve gates
j.其两根铜柱
j. Its Two Bronze Pillars
31殿的两根铜柱表征基督受神审判,成为神在地上之居所支持的力量。(王上七15~22。)
31The temple’st wo bronze pillars signify the Christ judged by God becoming the supporting strength of God’s dwelling on the earth (1 Kings 7:15-22
k.其内院
k. Its Inner Court
32殿的内院(六36)表征藉著神的圣别而与俗世有分别(其中有铜祭坛和铜海)。
32The inner court of the temple (6:36) signifies the separation through God’s sanctification from the common world (in which were the bronze altar and the bronze sea
(一) 用三层凿成的石头来建造内院是用三层凿成的石头来建造的,
1) Built with Three Courses of Hewn Stones The inner court was built with three courses of hewn
33表征钉十字架的基督在祂的复活里。
33stones, signifying the crucified Christ in His resurrection
(二) 用一层香柏木来建造
2) Built with One Course of Cedar Beams
34内院也是用一层香柏木来建造的,表征复活的基督在祂的人性里。
34The inner court was built also with one course of cedar beams, signifying the resurrected Christ in His humanity
(三) 成为分隔的墙
3) Becoming the Separating Wall
35用凿成的石头和香柏木建造的内院,成为分隔的墙,作分别神居所和俗世的界线。2.铜海和十个铜盆铜海和十个铜盆,表征使人自责、审判人、更新人之神的灵,根据基督的死,洗去那些有分于神在地上居所之人一切消极的东西。(王上七23~40上,约十六8,多三5。)所罗门也筑了一座铜祭坛,(王上九25,)但未列于此处。
35The inner court built with hewn stones and cedar beams became the separating wall as a line separating the dwelling of God from the common world. 2. The Bronze Sea with Ten Bronze Lavers The bronze sea with ten bronze lavers signifies the convicting, judging, and renewing Spirit of God washing away, based on the death of Christ, all the negative things from those participating in the dwelling of God on earth (7:23-40; John 16:8; Titus 3:5). Solomon also built an altar of bronze (1 Kings 9:25), but it is not listed here
363.陈设饼的金桌子
363. The Golden Table for the Bread of the Presence
37陈设饼的金桌子,表征那经过成为肉体、钉十字架、复活、升天等种种过程,成了赐生命之灵的基督,作神选民属灵的食物。(王上七48下,约六32~63。)
37The golden table for the bread of the presence signifies the Christ who has gone through the processes of incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension and has become the life-giving Spirit to be the spiritual food of God’select (7:48b; John 6:32-63
4 .金灯台
4. The Golden Lampstands
38金灯台表征那藉著复活成为赐生命之灵的基督,作祂子民神圣的光。(王上七49,约八12。)
38The golden lampstands signify the Christ who has become the life-giving Spirit through His resurrection to be the divine light to His people (1 Kings 7:49; John 8:12
5 .金坛及其香
5. The Golden Altar with Its Incense
39金坛及其香表征复活并升天的基督成为甜美的香气,使神悦纳祂所救赎的人。(王上七48下,启八3。)王上六至七章所列者,并未题到约柜的建造,因为所罗门仍然保留摩西所造的约柜。(六19,八3~9。)
39The golden altar with its incense signifies the resurrected and ascended Christ to be the sweet savor for God’s acceptance of His redeemed (1 Kings 7:48a; Rev. 8:3). There is no mentioning in the list in 1 Kings 6 and 7 of the building of the ark of the covenant because Solomon still kept the ark of the covenant made by Moses (6:19; 8:3-9).
