3在以赛亚的预言中，六至八章，加上九章和十一章这几章，启示基督到极点。在本篇信息中，我们要来看第六章里对基督的揭示。
3Chapters six through eight plus chapters nine and eleven are a cluster of chapters in Isaiah’s prophecy which unveil Christ to the uttermost. In this message we will consider the unveiling of Christ in chapter six
壹 、在荣耀里之基督的异象
I. The Vision Of Christ In Glory
4在六章一至七节，我们看见在荣
4In 6:1-7 we have a vision of Christ in glory
5耀里之基督的异象。
5
6一、尽管以色列背叛，满有罪孽和败坏，基督仍在荣耀里坐在高高的宝座上
6A. In Spite of the Rebellion, Iniquities, and Corruptions of Israel, Christ Still Sitting on a High and Lofty Throne in Glory
7尽管神所拣选、所爱的百姓以色列背叛，满有罪孽和败坏，基督仍在荣耀里坐在高高的宝座上。（赛六1～4。）这几节指明，不管地上有何种光景，不管神子民中间有多败坏、堕落，基督仍在荣耀里坐在宝座上。
7In spite of the rebellion, iniquities, and corruptions of Israel, His chosen and beloved people, Christ is still sitting on a high and lofty throne in glory (vv. 1-4). These verses indicate that no matter what the situation might be on earth and regardless of the corruption and degradation among God’sp eople, Christ is still on the throne in His glory
8当以赛亚看见以色列人中间的光景时，他感到非常失望。因此他在预言的头五章，很少说到以色列人好的地方。就在这时候主把他带进一个异象里，使他看见荣耀的主坐在宝座上。（赛六1。）主好像对以赛亚说，『不要往下看光景。你若往下看，就会失望。要往上看我，我仍在这里。那里可能没有好的事物，但在这里一切都好。我是宇宙中独一好的事物。你要看我。』
8When Isaiah looked at the situation among the children of Israel, he became very disappointed. For this reason, in the first five chapters of his prophecy, he had very little to say that was good about the children of Israel. It was at this point that the Lord brought him into a vision so that he could see the Lord of glory sitting on the throne (v. 1). The Lord seemed to say to Isaiah, “Don’tlook down at the situation. If you look down, you will be disappointed. Look up at Me. I am still here. There may be nothing good there, but everything is good here. I am the unique good thing in the universe. Look at Me
9你刚开始过召会生活的时候，可能经历到一种召会『蜜月；』但过了一段时间后，你觉得很甜的事物可能变得像醋一样苦。那时你所有的就不是蜜月，而是『醋月』了。你既对召会生活感到失望，就会想说，若是搬到另一个地方可能较好。然而，我能向你担保，你无法找到一处召会给你经历持续的蜜月。每一个召会里都有一些醋。所以，我们在召会生活里，需要学习不要往下看环境，乃要往上看基督。我们不该看基督以外任何的人事物。我们所仰望的基督不再在十字架上；今天基督乃是在宝座上。
9At the beginning of your church life, you might have experienced a church “honeymoon.” But after a period of time, what was so sweet to you might have become bitter like vinegar. Then instead of a honeymoon you have a “vinegar moon.” In your disappointment with the church life, you may think that it would be better if you moved to another locality. However, I can assure you that you cannot find a church that experiences a continual honeymoon. In every church there is some vinegar. Therefore, in the church life, we need to learn not to look down at the situation but to look up to Christ. We should not look at anything or anyone other than Christ. The Christ whom we look up to is no longer on the cross; today Christ is on the throne.
10１.百姓堕落了，但基督和祂的宝座在祂的荣耀里仍是一样
101. The People Having Become Fallen, but Christ and His Throne Remaining the Same in His Glory
11百姓堕落了，但基督和祂的宝座在祂的荣耀里仍是一样。（赛六1上。）这地上的一切都在改换变更，但基督从今天直到永远仍是一样的。（来十三8。）
11The people had become fallen, but Christ and His throne remained the same in His glory (v. 1a). On this earth, everything changes and fluctuates, but Christ remains the same today and forever (Heb. 13:8
12２.基督垂下的衣裳，仍遮满圣殿
122. The Train of Christ’sR o be Still Filling the Temple
13基督垂下的衣裳，仍遮满圣殿。（赛六1下。）基督的长袍，表征基督在祂美德上的荣美。荣耀主要是指神，荣美主要是指人。基督在祂美德上的荣美，主要是在祂的人性里，并藉著祂的人性彰显出来。
13The train of Christ’sr o be still filled the temple (Isa. 6:1b). Christ’s long robe signifies Christ’s splendor in His virtues. Whereas glory refers mainly to God, splendor refers mainly to man. The splendor of Christ in His virtues is expressed mainly in and through His humanity
14我们可能渴慕到天上去看基督在祂神性里的荣耀，但在以赛亚的异象里，这位在荣耀里的基督，乃是满了人性美德的荣美。我们看见在荣耀里的基督时，主要的乃是看见基督在祂满有美德的人性里。基督一切的美德是光明照耀的，这照耀就是祂的荣美。基督的荣耀乃是在祂的神性里，祂的荣美乃是在祂的人性里。
14We may desire to go to heaven to see Christ’s glory in His divinity, but in Isaiah’s vision this Christ in glory is full of splendor in His human virtues. When we see Christ in His glory, we will see Him mainly in His humanity, which is full of virtues. All Christ’s virtues are bright and shining, and this shining is His splendor. Christ’s glory is in His divinity, and His splendor is in His humanity
３ .撒拉弗彼此呼喊，赞美在圣别里的基督
3. Seraphim Calling One to the Other, Praising Christ in His Holiness
15撒拉弗彼此呼喊说，『圣哉、圣哉、圣哉，万军之耶和华。』（赛六2～3上。）这是赞美在圣别里的基督。
15Seraphim were calling one to the other, saying, “Holy, holy, holy, Jehovah of hosts” (vv. 2-3a). This was a praise rendered to Christ in His holiness
16４.基督的荣光充满全地
164. The Whole Earth Being Filled with Christ’s Glory
17以赛亚看见那表征基督美德之荣光的长袍，而撒拉弗却宣告基督的荣光充满全地。（赛六3下。）
17Whereas Isaiah saw the long robe signifying Christ’s splendor in His virtues, the seraphim were declaring that the whole earth is filled with Christ’s glory.
18５.门坎的根基震动，殿充满了烟云
185. The Foundations of the Threshold Shaking,
and the House Being Filled with Smoke
19在四节我们看见，因呼喊者的声音，门坎的根基震动了。这震动表征庄严。在这节我们也看见，殿充满了烟云；这表征可畏之焚烧的荣光。
19In verse 4 we see that the foundations of the threshold shook at the voice of him who called. This shaking signifies solemnity. In this verse we also see that the house was filled with smoke. This signifies glory burning in awe
６ .约翰论到以赛亚之异象的话
6. John’sWord concerning Isaiah’s Vision
20约翰叙述基督在地上的生活工作时，题到以赛亚在这里所看见的异象，说以赛亚看见基督的荣耀。（约十二41。）
20John, in his account of Christ’s living and working on earth, referred to Isaiah’s vision here, saying that Isaiah saw Christ’s glory (John 12:41
二 、以赛亚的回应
B. The Response of Isaiah
21在六章五节，说到以赛亚的回应。
21In Isaiah 6:5 we have the response of Isaiah
１ .领悟他是该灭亡的
1. Realizing That He Was Finished
22对于在荣耀里之基督的异象，以赛亚的反应是说，『祸哉，我灭亡了！』（赛六5上。）以赛亚看见这异象，就领悟他是该被了结的，是该灭亡的。
22Isaiah responded to the vision of Christ in glory by saying, “Woe is me, for I am finished!” (v. 5a). As a result of seeing this vision, Isaiah was terminated, finished
23２.领悟他是嘴唇不洁的人，又住在嘴唇不洁的民中
232. Realizing That He Was a Man of Unclean Lips and That in the Midst of a People of Unclean Lips He Dwelt
24以赛亚接著说，『因为我是嘴唇不洁的人，又住在嘴唇不洁的民中。』（赛六5中。）由此可见，我们必须注意我们的嘴唇，注意我们的说话。我们每一天都说太多话了。我们的话大部分是邪恶的，因为我们说的大多是批评的话。我们说到任何人或任何事，几乎都是批评。这是我们嘴唇不洁的原因。不洁的事，诸如闲谈、发怨言和起争论，都使召会生活变得像醋一样。我们若把闲谈、怨言和争论除去，就会发现我们没有什么可说的。我们需要像以赛亚一样，领悟我们的嘴唇是不洁的。
24Isaiah went on to say, “For I am a man of unclean lips, and in the midst of a people of unclean lips I dwell” (v. 5b). By this we can see that we must pay attention to our lips, to our speaking. Every day we talk too much. A great percentage of the words we speak are evil, because most of our words are words of criticism. Nearly every word that we speak concerning any matter or any person is a word of criticism. This is the reason that our lips are unclean. Unclean things such as gossip, murmuring, and reasoning make the church life taste like vinegar. If we eliminate gossip, murmuring, and reasoning, we may find that we have very little to talk about. Like Isaiah, we need to realize that our lips are unclean
25每一个真正看见主异象的人都是蒙光照的。他所看见的异象立刻暴露他，并把他带到光中。在路加五章，当彼得看见主的时候，立刻对主说，『离开我，因我是个罪人。』（路五8。）
25Everyone who truly sees a vision of the Lord is enlightened. The vision he sees immediately exposes him and brings him into light. When Peter saw the Lord in Luke 5, he immediately said to the Lord, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord!” (v. 8
26我们看见自己多少，在于我们看见主多少。因此，我们需要晨晨复兴。晨兴乃是我们再次看见主的时候。我们越看见主，就越看见自己的所是。我们看见自己里面一无是处，在我们里面的每一样东西，都没有荣美和美德。
26How much we realize concerning ourselves depends on how much we see the Lord. For this reason, we need a revival every morning. The morning revival is the time for us to see the Lord a gain. The more we see the Lord, the more we see what we are. We realize that there is nothing good within us and that everything within us is without splendor or virtue.
３ .知道自己亲眼看见了大君王万军之耶和华
3. Knowing That He Had Seen the King, Jehovah of Hosts, with His Eyes
27虽然以赛亚知道自己是该灭亡的，是嘴唇不洁的人，不过，他却知道自己亲眼看见了大君王万军之耶和华。（赛六5下。）
27Although Isaiah knew that he was finished and that he was a man of unclean lips, he nevertheless knew that he had seen the King, Jehovah of hosts, with his eyes (Isa. 6:5c
三 、以赛亚得洁净
C. The Purging of Isaiah
28以赛亚六章六至七节说到以赛亚
28Isaiah 6:6-7 speaks concerning the purging of Isaiah
29得洁净。
29
１ .藉著一个撒拉弗
1. By One of the Seraphim
30以赛亚看见自己是不洁的，之后就藉著一个撒拉弗得了洁净；撒拉弗乃表征神的圣别。（赛六6上。）
30After Isaiah realized that he was unclean, he was purged by one of the seraphim, signifying the holiness of God (v. 6a
２ .用坛上的红炭
2. With an Ember from the Altar
31以赛亚是从坛上的红炭得著洁净的。（赛六6下～7上。）这红炭表征基督在十字架上所完成之救赎的功效。
31Isaiah was purged with an ember from the altar (vv. 6b-7a). This ember signifies the effectiveness of Christ’s redemption accomplished on the cross
32３.除掉他的罪孽，洁净他的罪
323. To Take Away His Iniquity and to Purge His Sin
33藉著撒拉弗用坛上的红炭所完成的洁净，除掉了以赛亚的罪孽，洁净了他的罪。（赛六7下。）
33This purging by the seraphim with an ember from the altar took away Isaiah’s iniquity and purged his sin (v. 7b
34在六章这经历之前，以赛亚难道没有被神洗净吗？不错，以赛亚曾得著洁净，但他看见自己仍是不洁净的。这指明我们都需要看见自己乃是不洁的总和。无论我们得过多少次的洁净，我们仍是不洁的。我们都必须认识自己到这个地步。
34Had Isaiah not been washed by God before his experience in chapter six? Yes, Isaiah had been cleansed, but he realized that he was still unclean. This indicates that we all need to realize that we are a totality of uncleanness. No matter how many times we may be washed, we are still unclean. We all must come to know ourselves to this extent
35在我们的经历中，我们洁净不洁净，是在于良心的感觉；而我们良心的感觉是在于我们对主的看见。我们看见主有多少，就决定我们会有多少被洁净。我们越看见主，越被暴露，就越得著洁净。当我们的良心得了洁净，没有亏欠时，我们就能接触主。按照我们蒙光照的良心，我们是洁净的，但按照我们在旧造里的实际光景，我们是不洁的。旧造怎么会洁净？只要我们留在旧造里，我们绝不能完全洁净，因为旧造是不洁的。我们需要身体得赎。我们的身体一旦得著救赎，就要脱离旧造。那时，我们才完全是洁净的。
35In our experience, whether we are clean or unclean depends on the feeling of our conscience; and the feeling of our conscience depends on our seeing the Lord. How much we see the Lord determines how much we will be cleansed. The more we see the Lord and are exposed, the more we are cleansed. When our conscience is cleansed and is void of offense, we are able to contact God. According to our enlightened conscience, we are clean, but according to the actual facts of our situation in the old creation, we are not clean. How could the old creation be clean? As long as we remain in the old creation, we can never be completely clean, for the old creation is unclean. We need the redemption of our body. Once our body is redeemed, we will get out of the old creation. At that time, we will be completely clean.
贰 、基督给以赛亚警戒的使命
II. Christ’s Warning Commission To Isaiah
36八至十三节说到基督给以赛亚警戒的使命。以赛亚得了洁净以后，就从主得著使命。
36In verses 8 through 13 we have Christ’s warning commission to Isaiah. After Isaiah was purged, he received a commission from the Lord
一 、主的需要
A. The Lord’s Need
１ .祂的呼召
1. His Calling
37关于主的需要，我们首先看见祂的呼召。主说，『我可以差遣谁？谁肯为我们去？』（赛六8上。）『我』和『我们』二辞，指明在此说话的乃是三一的；这一位不仅仅是基督，乃是作三一神具体化身的基督。
37Regarding the Lord’s need, we first have His calling. The Lord said, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” (v. 8a). The words I and Us indicate that the One speaking here is triune, that this One is not merely Christ but Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God
２ .以赛亚的回答
2. Isaiah’s Answer
38以赛亚的回答很好。他说，『我在这里，请差遣我。』（赛六8下。）
38Isaiah’s answer was very good. He said, “Here am I; send me” (v. 8b
二 、主给以赛亚警戒的使命
B. The Lord’s Warning Commission to Isaiah
１ .祂的嘱咐
1. His Charge
39在九、十节，主嘱咐以赛亚，对他说，『你去告诉这百姓说，你们听是要听见，却不领悟；看是要看见，却看不透。你要使这百姓心蒙脂油，耳听不灵，眼晴闭著；恐怕眼睛看见，耳朵听见，心里领悟，回转过来，便得医治。』这指明百姓无法得著医治和恢复。
39In verses 9 and 10 the Lord gave His charge to Isaiah. The Lord said to him, “Go and say to this people,/ Hear indeed, but do not perceive;/And see indeed, but do not understand./Make the heart of this people numb;/Dull their ears,/And seal their eyes;/ Lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears,/And their heart perceives and returns, and they are healed.” This indicates that there would be no way for the people to be healed and recovered
２ .以赛亚的问题
2. Isaiah’s Question
40以赛亚响应主的嘱咐，发出一个问题。他说，『主阿，这要多久呢？』（赛六11上。）他是问这光景要维持多久。
40In response to the Lord’s charge, Isaiah asked a question. He said, “For how long, Lord?” (v. 11a). He was asking how long this situation would remain
３ .答覆
3. The Answer
41十一节下半至十三节说到主对以赛亚问题的答覆。主对他说，『直到城邑荒废，无人居住，房屋空闲无人，地土极其荒凉；并且耶和华将人迁到远方，在这境内撇弃的地土很多。境内剩下的人，若还有十分之一，也必被吞灭，像笃耨香树或橡树，虽被砍伐，树桩却仍存留；这树桩乃是圣别的种子。』除了论到圣别的种子的话，这预言已经应验了。
41In verses 11b through 13 we have the Lord’s answer to Isaiah’s question. The Lord said to him, “Until cities lay devastated,/Without inhabitants,/And houses are without people,/And the land is devastated and a waste;/And Jehovah has sent men far away from it,/ And desolate places abound in the midst of the land./But there will still be a tenth part in it; / And it in turn is to be burned/Like a terebinth or an oak, Whose stump remains after its felling; /Its stump will be a holy seed.” Except for the word concerning the holy seed, this prophecy has been fulfilled
４ .以上预言的警告乃藉巴比伦的入侵和掳掠得著应验
4. This Prophetic Warning Being Fulfilled by the Babylonian Invasion and Captivity
42以上预言的警告约在主前七五八年说出，并且在主前六○六年藉著巴比伦的入侵和掳掠得著应验。（王下二四～二五。）巴比伦人毁灭了耶路撒冷，掳去了重要的人物。
42The foregoing prophetic warning was given in approximately 758 B.C., and it was fulfilled in approximately 606 B.C. by the Babylonian invasion and captivity (2 Kings 24—25). The Babylonians devastated Jerusalem and carried away the important people
三 、主耶稣和约翰都引用到这警告
C. This Warning Being Quoted by the Lord Jesus and by John
43在马太十三章十四至十五节，主耶稣引用了这警告；那时主是在地上，题醒在祂职事之下背叛且顽梗的犹太人。在约翰十二章四十节，约翰也引用这警告。主后七十年，藉著提多手下的罗马军队，主的题醒得著了应验。（太二三37～38，二四2。）
43This warning was quoted by the Lord Jesus in Matthew 13:14-15, while the Lord was on earth, to remind the rebellious and stubborn Jews under His ministry. This warning was also quoted by John in John 12:40. The Lord’s reminding was fulfilled in A.D. 70 by the Roman army under Titus (Matt. 23:37-38; 24:2).
44四、使徒保罗引用这警告
44D. This Warning Being Quoted by the Apostle Paul
45在行传二十八章二十五至二十七节，使徒保罗也引用这警告，题醒听他传福音而不信的犹太人；主后七十年，他的题醒也是藉著提多同他的军队得著应验。不仅如此，从主后七十年以来，历经许多世纪，这警告一直都在应验中。
45This warning was also quoted by the apostle Paul in Acts 28:25-27 to remind the unbelieving Jews under his preaching of the gospel; and his reminding was also fulfilled in A.D. 70 by Titus with his army. Furthermore, after A.D. 70, this warning has been fulfilled throughout the centuries
