节期(三)

The Festivals (3)
1读经:利未记23:23-44。主耶稣这神而人者在地上三十三年半,然后在十字架上受死,成为逾越节这豫表的应验与实际。祂在十字架上的死成就了救赎,也了结了宇宙中一切消极的事物。这死的结果,乃是复活以及神圣生命的流出;这神圣的生命乃是终极完成之三一神的实际,作我们的分。在基督的复活里,我们都在这终极完成的三一神里有分了。
1Scripture Reading: Lev. 23:23-44 After living on earth as a God-man for thirty-three and a half years, the Lord Jesus died on the cross as the fulfillment and reality of the type of the Passover. By His death on the cross He accomplished redemption and terminated all the negative things in the universe. The outcome of such a death was resurrection with the issue of the divine life, which is the reality of the consummated Triune God to be our portion. In Christ’s resurrection we all have a portion in this consummated Triune God
2主耶稣复活后,升到诸天之上。在祂的升天里,祂这经过过程之三一神的终极完成,就以经纶之灵的形态浇灌下来。虽然我们的神是永远完全的,祂仍需要终极的完成。在祂成为肉体以前,祂仅仅是神,但还没有完成。然而因著祂所经过的过程,祂已经完成了。经过过程之三一神的终极完成,就是那包罗万有、赐生命、复合的灵。祂这终极的完成将祂自己浇灌在我们身上,使我们成为祂那扩大的一部分。这是五旬节的意义。五旬节是基督复活的结果,祂的复活又是祂包罗万有之死的结果。这一切都成了神和我们的美妙节期。
2After His resurrection, the Lord Jesus ascended to the heavens. In His ascension He poured out Himself as the consummation of the processed Triune God in the form of the economical Spirit. Although our God is eternally perfect. He still needed a consummation. Before His incarnation, He was merely God without a consummation. But as the result of the processes through which He passed, He has been consummated. The consummation of the processed Triune God is the all-inclusive, life- giving, compound Spirit. As such a consummation. He poured out Himself upon us, making us a part of His enlargement. This is the significance of Pentecost. Pentecost is the issue of Christ’s resurrection, and His resurrection is the issue of His all-inclusive death. All this has become a wonderful feast for God and for us
3经过过程之三一神终极的结果就是五旬节。一到五旬节,一切消极的事物都清除了,一切积极的事物都释放了。经过过程的三一神这终极完成的一位,已经浇灌在我们身上,将我们带进祂自己里面,使我们成为祂的延展、扩大、扩增和扩展。现今我们是基督的身体,在这身体里,那终极完成、经过过程之三一神,与我们这蒙拣选、蒙救赎、重生、变化之三部分的人调和在一起。整个宇宙都是为著这个调和,这要存留到永远,至终成为新天新地里的新耶路撒冷,作那终极完成之三一神与祂赎民永远完全的见证。我们已经说过头四个节期。在本篇信息中,我们要说到后三个节期-吹号节、遮罪节、住棚节。头一组的四个节期,是在一年的上半;第二组的三个节期,是在一年的下半。头四个节期,指著过去和现在。这些节期已经在基督身上得著应验,我们现今仍在经历并享受中。我们正在享受逾越节,也仍在过无酵节和初熟节。不仅如此,我们仍在五旬节,实际上那乃是召会的节期。第二组的节期,指著将来,指著要来的日子,主回来的时候。当主耶稣回来的时候,这三个节期要得著应验。
3The ultimate issue of the processed Triune God is Pentecost. By the time we come to the feast of Pentecost, all the negative things have been cleared away, and all the positive things have been released. The processed Triune God as the consummated One has been poured upon us to bring us into Himself so that we may be His extension, enlargement, increase, and expansion. Now we are Christ’s Body, and in this Body we have the mingling of the consummated, processed Triune God with the chosen, redeemed, regenerated, and transformed tripartite man. The entire universe is for this, and it will remain forever. Eventually, it will become the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and new earth as the complete, eternal testimony of the consummated Triune God with His redeemed ones. Having covered the first four feasts, we shall go on in this message to cover the last three—the feast of the blowing of trumpets, the feast of propitiation, and the feast of tabernacles. The first group of four feasts took place in the first half of the year. The second group of three feasts took place in the second half of the year. The first four feasts point to the past and to the present. These feasts have been fulfilled in Christ, yet we are still experiencing and enjoying them. We are enjoying the feast of Passover, and we are still in the feast of unleavened bread and the feast of the first-fruits. Furthermore, we are still in the feast of Pentecost, which is actually a feast of the church. The second group of feasts points to the future, to the coming days, to the time of the Lord’s coming back. When the Lord Jesus comes back, these three feasts will be fulfilled.
5 吹号节
5. The Feast of the Blowing of Trumpets
4利未记二十三章二十三至二十五节向我们说到吹号节。这节表征神召聚祂四散的子民(指分散的以色列人),并题醒他们,祂要向他们发出这样的呼召。(太二四31,参赛二七13,诗八一3。)
4Leviticus 23:23-25 tells us of the feast of the blowing of trumpets. This feast signifies God’scall ing together of His scattered people (the dispersed Israelites) and His reminding them that He will issue such a call to them (Matt. 24:31; cf. Isa. 27:13; Psa. 81:3
a在七月一日,就是下半年的开始
a. On the First Day of the Seventh Month, the Beginning of the Second Half of the Year
5『你要告诉以色列人说,在七月一日,你们要有严整的休息,要吹号作记念,要有圣会。』(利二三24。)这里我们看见吹号节是在七月一日,就是下半年的开始。这表征神救赎的另一半,要成全在以色列人身上。神救赎的前一半已经成全在召会身上。虽然神救赎的另一半是要应用在以色列人身上,但仍然与我们有关。在五旬节这第四个节期,和吹号节这第五个节期之间,好像没有甚么。实际上,这期间乃是召会时代,人称为奥秘的时代。召会时代是从五旬节召会出现的那日起,一直持续到神召聚祂四散的子民归回的日子为止。
5Speak to the sons of Israel and say. In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation” (Lev. 23:24). Here we see that the feast of the blowing of trumpets was on the first day of the seventh month, the beginning of the second half of the year. This signifies the second half of God’s redemption, which is to be accomplished on Israel, the first half having been accomplished on the church. Although the second half of God’s redemption will be applied to Israel, it will still be related to us. Between the fourth feast, Pentecost, and the fifth feast, the blowing of trumpets, there appears to be nothing. Actually, this interval is the church age, which is called the age of mystery. The church age lasts from the day of Pentecost, when the church came into being, until the day God calls His scattered people to come back together
6五旬节和吹号节可比作两个相隔很远的山峰,看起来很近,实际上非常远。我们可将这两座山峰的距离,喻为五旬节和吹号节之间的时距。这时距已经超过了一千九百年。这段长的时期就是召会时代,奥秘的时代。
6The feasts of Pentecost and the blowing of trumpets may be compared to two distant mountain peaks which appear to be close together but actually are very far apart. We may liken the distance between these two peaks to the time span between the feast of Pentecost and the feast of the blowing of trumpets. The time span has already been more than nineteen hundred years. This long period of time is the age of the church, the age of mystery.
b要有严整的休息
b. To Have a Solemn Rest
7吹号节乃是严整的休息。(利二三24中。)这表征神所召聚的子民,进入神真实且彻底的安息。从被掳到巴比伦算起,二千六百年以来,犹太人是个没有安息的民族。他们因著弃绝那安息的神,就失去了他们的家园。犹太人只收复了部分的土地,他们今天仍在奋斗,他们仍是没有安息的民族。当号筒响起,神要呼召祂四散的民,那长期没有安息的民,归回他们祖宗的地土。然后他们要与神一同安息。他们要享受基督作完全且彻底的安息。对犹太人来说,那将是真正的节期。c吹号作记念这节要吹号作记念。(利二三24下。)这表征自从以色列人杀害主耶稣并四散之后,在神面前无一可记念的。但在主回来时,神要从四散的民中呼召他们一起回到他们祖宗的地,这呼召是他们真正的记念。
7The feast of the blowing of trumpets was a solemn rest (v. 24b). This signifies causing God’s gathered people to enter into God’s genuine and thorough rest. During the twenty-seven hundred years since the carrying away to Babylon, the Jews have been a people without rest. They lost their homeland because they rejected the God of rest. Only a part of the homeland has been recovered, and the Jews today are still struggling, for they are a people without rest. When the trumpet sounds, God will call His scattered people, who have so long been without rest, back to the land of their fathers. Then they will have rest with God. They will enjoy Christ as the absolute and thorough rest. For the Jews, that will be a real feast. c. As a Memorial Proclaimed by the Blowing of Trumpets This feast was a memorial proclaimed by the blowing of trumpets (v. 24c). This signifies that from the time the children of Israel slew the Lord Jesus and were scattered, there has been nothing among them that could be a memorial before God. But at the Lord’s coming back, God’scall ing them together from their dispersion back to their fathers’ land will be a real memorial to them
d要有圣会
d. To Have a Holy Convocation
8吹号所宣告严整的休息,乃是个圣会。有这样的圣会,表征回转向神,成为团体的子民。e甚么劳碌的工都不可作,要将火
8The solemn rest proclaimed by the blowing of trumpets was a holy convocation. Having such a holy convocation signifies returning to God and becoming a corporate people. e. Not Doing Any Laborious Work but Bringing an
祭带给耶和华
Offering by Fire to Jehovah
9『甚么劳碌的工都不可作;要将火祭带给耶和华。』(利二三25。)这表征神召聚的子民不需人的劳苦,就能献上基督给神作食物,使神、人同得满足。
9You shall not do any laborious work; you shall bring an offering by fire to Jehovah” (v. 25). This signifies that without the need of any human labor, God’s gathered people will be able to offer Christ to God as food for the satisfaction of both God and man
6 遮罪节
6. The Feast of Propitiation
10第六个节期乃是遮罪节。遮罪日紧接在以色列人悔改归向神之后。(利二三26~32。)这表征人得蒙救赎的日子,是接在我们吹福音的号,并人对这号所回应的悔改之后。
10The sixth feast is the feast of propitiation, the day of propitiation closely following Israel’s repentance unto God (vv. 26-32). This signifies that the day of man’s redemption follows our trumpeting of the gospel and man’s repentance as a reaction to it.
a要有圣会
a. Having a Holy Convocation
11遮罪节乃是个圣会。(利二三27中。)这表征遮罪节不是为著个人,乃是为著会众。
11The feast of propitiation was a holy convocation (v. 27b). This signifies that it is not a festival for individuals but for a congregation
b刻苦自己的魂,将火祭带给耶和华
b. Afflicting Their Souls and Bringing an Offering by Fire unto Jehovah
12在遮罪日,百姓要刻苦自己的魂,将火祭带给耶和华。(利二三27下,29。)这表征忧伤痛悔,为罪伤痛,并且将基督当作食物献给神,使神、人同得满足。按照撒迦利亚十二章,这就是主耶稣回来时,犹太人所要作的。
12On the day of propitiation, the people were to afflict their souls and bring an offering by fire to Jehovah (vv. 27c, 29). This signifies mourning, repenting, and feeling sorrowful for sin, and offering Christ as food to God for the satisfaction of both God and man. According to Zechariah 12, this is what the Jews will do when the Lord Jesus comes back
c甚么工都不可作,却要有歇息的安息日
c. Not Doing Any Work but Having a Sabbath of Rest
13在遮罪日,百姓甚么工都不可作,却要有歇息的安息日。(利二三,30~32上。)这表征蒙神救赎的人不需要为得救作甚么工,只要安息于神为他们所完成的救赎里,叫神也能在蒙救赎的人里得安息。
13On the day of propitiation, the people were not to do any work but were to have a sabbath of rest (vv. 28, 30-32a). This signifies that God’s redeemed people 28 do not need to do any work for their redemption but should rest in the redemption God has accomplished for them, that God too may rest in His redeemed.
d在这月九日晚上,从当晚到次晚,回转归向神的人要守安息日
d. On the Ninth Day of the Month in the Evening, from Evening to Evening God’s Returned People Keeping the Sabbath
14『在这月九日晚上,从当晚到次晚,你们要守安息日。(利二三32下。)这表征蒙神救赎之人的安息是完全且完整的安息。七月一日是吹号节,而遮罪节是在七月十日。吹号节是在主耶稣回来时得著应验,号声要召聚神四散的子民,将散居各地的犹太人召回到他们祖宗的地。主耶稣从空中降到地上之后,犹太人要悔改、忧伤、并回转向神,接受基督作他们的救主。这将是遮罪节实际的应验。然而,这节的豫表在属灵一面已经完全应验在我们身上。基督在十字架上已经成就了遮罪。用新约的说法,祂已经成功了救赎。我们悔改、相信、并接受基督作我们的救主时,就经历了这节。所以,遮罪节有双重的应用。在属灵一面,这节已经应用在我们身上;在实际一面,这节将来要应用在犹太人身上。
14“On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening you shall keep your sabbath” (v. 32b). This signifies that the rest of God’s redeemed people is a full and complete rest. On the first day of the seventh month was the festival of the blowing of trumpets, and the feast of propitiation was on the tenth day of that month. The festival of the blowing of trumpets will be fulfilled when the Lord Jesus comes back, and the trumpet sounds to call together God’s dispersed people, to call back the scattered Jews to their fathers’ land. After the Lord Jesus has descended from the air to the earth, the Jews will repent, mourn, and return to God, receiving Christ as their Savior. This will be a literal fulfillment of the feast of propitiation. However, the typology of this feast has already been fulfilled spiritually with us. On the cross, Christ accomplished propitiation. Using the New Testament term, He accomplished redemption. When we repented, believed, and received Christ as our Savior, we experienced this feast. Therefore, the feast of propitiation has a double application. Spiritually this feast has been applied to us, and literally it will be applied in the future to the Jews.
7 住棚节
7. The Feast of Tabernacles
15利未记二十三章三十三至四十三节说到住棚节。这表征要来的千年国,是蒙神救赎的人在神的旧造一段完满的时期中,与神同享时代的、喜乐的福分。这不是在新天新地里,乃是在被恢复的地上。
15Leviticus 23:33-43 speaks of the feast of tabernacles. This feast signifies the coming millennium as a dispensational, joyful blessing for God’s redeemed people to enjoy with God for a full period of time in God’sold creation. This will take place not in the new heaven and new earth but on the restored earth
a为期七天
a. For Seven Days
16『你要告诉以色列人说,七月十五日是住棚节,要向耶和华守节七日。』(利二三34。)这七天表征住棚节不是只有一天,乃是完整的一段日子。这段完整的日子将有一千年。b第一日要有圣会,甚么劳碌的工
16Speak to the sons of Israel and say, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days to Jehovah” (v. 34). These seven days signify that the festival of tabernacles is not for one day only but for a complete course of days. This complete course will be a thousand years. b. On the First Day Having a Holy Convocation
都不可作
Not Doing Any Laborious Work
17『第一日要有圣会,甚么劳碌的工都不可作。』(利二三35。)这表征这节期从第一天起,就不是为著个人的,并且不需要任何人的劳苦,乃是叫会众享受安息。c七天之久要将火祭带给耶和华
17On the first day there shall be a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work” (v. 35). This signifies that from the first day it is not a festival for individuals but for a congregation to enjoy rest without the need of any human labor. c. For Seven Days Bringing an Offering by Fire to Jehovah
18『七天之久,你们要将火祭带给耶和华。』(利二三36上。)这表征在这节期中,要天天将基督当作食物献给神,使神、人同得满足。按照这豫表,在千年国里每天都要献祭给神,以表征我们所经历的基督乃是献给神的食物,使神满足,叫我们可以与神同享安息。d第八天要有圣会,这是圣集会,要将火祭带给耶和华,甚么劳碌的工
18For seven days you shall bring an offering by fire to Jehovah” (v. 36a). This signifies the offering of Christ day after day as food to God for the satisfaction of both God and man. According to this type, in the millennium every day an offering will be presented to God to signify that Christ is God’s food in our experiences offered to God for His satisfaction so that we and God may enjoy mutual rest. d. On the Eighth Day Having a Holy Convocation, a Sacred Assembly, to Bring an Offering by Fire to
都不可作
Jehovah, and Not Doing Any Laborious Work
19『第八日要有圣会,要将火祭带给耶和华。这是圣集会,甚么劳碌的工都不可作。』(利二三36下。)这表征在基督的复活里,神的子民乃是圣集会,将基督当作食物献给神,使神、人同得满足;不需要人作甚么,只要安息。这指明整个千年国的一千年,将是神与神赎民的安息。e将火祭带给耶和华,就是燔祭和素祭、祭牲和奠祭,各按各日献上
19On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall bring an offering by fire to Jehovah; it is a sacred assembly; you shall not do any laborious work” v. 36b). This signifies that in the resurrection of Christ God’sp eople as a sacred congregation offer Christ as food to God for the satisfaction of both God and man, not needing to do any work but resting. This indicates that the entire thousand years of the millennium will be a rest for God and for God’s redeemed people. e. Bringing an Offering by Fire to Jehovah—a Burnt Offering, a Meal Offering, a Sacrifice, and a
Drink Offering, Each on Its Own Day
20『这些是耶和华所定的节期,就是你们要宣告为圣会,将火祭带给耶和华的,就是燔祭和素祭、祭牲和奠祭,各按各日献上,是在耶和华的安息日之外,在你们的礼物之外,并在一切所还的愿,和献与耶和华的甘心祭之外的。』(利二三37~。)这表征将基督献给神作不同的供物,各按各日献上,给神与祂的子民一同享受。这里我们看见在神的心里,祂的享受和满足乃是基督作一切。基督在不同方面都是神的满足和享受。
20“These are the appointed seasons of Jehovah which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, to bring an offering by fire to Jehovah—a burnt offering and a meal offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, each on its own day — besides the sabbaths of Jehovah, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to Jehovah” (vv. 37-38). This signifies offering Christ to God as 38 different offerings, each on its own day, for God to enjoy with His people. Here we see that in God’s he art for His enjoyment and satisfaction is Christ as everything. In different aspects Christ is God’s satisfaction and enjoyment.
f收集了地的出产
f. Having Gathered the Produce of the Land
21『又在七月十五日,你们收集了地的出产之后,要守耶和华的节七天.』(利二三39上。)这表征千年国要在神得著祂在地上所要得的庄稼之后来临。
21Then, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered the produce of the land, you shall keep the feast of Jehovah seven days” (v. 39a). This signifies that the millennium will come after the harvest of what God desires to obtain on earth
22神创造了地之后,要经过四个主要的时代。头一个是列祖时代,也称律法之前的时代,或没有律法的时代,从亚当到摩西。第二个是律法时代,从摩西到基督第一次的来临。第三个是召会时代,从五旬节到基督第二次的来临。第四个是千年国时代。在这四个时代里,神一直为祂的新造作了许多工。神在祂的旧造里创造了宇宙。这旧造的中心乃是神所创造的人。神在祂永远的计画里,对人有一个目的,就是产生一班人作祂的彰显,这彰显要完成于新耶路撒冷。神是在这四个时代里,在旧造的人身上作工。神将祂自己分赐到人里面,使人成为新造。至终,经过了四个时代以后,这新造要完成于新耶路撒冷,就是神在旧造中之新造工作的总结果。我们今天乃是在第三个时代,就是召会时代。我们来世要在第四个时代,就是国度时代,或作得胜者,或受管教。
22After the creation of the earth, God will go through four main dispensations. The first is the dispensation of the fathers, also called the dispensation before law or without law, from Adam to Moses. The second is the dispensation of law, from Moses to Christ’s first coming. The third is the dispensation of the church, from Pentecost to Christ’s second coming. The fourth is the dispensation of the millennium, the kingdom of the thousand years. In these four dispensations, God has been doing much for His new creation. In His old creation God created the universe. The center of this old creation is the man created by God. In His eternal plan God has a purpose with man, and this purpose is to produce a people for His expression, which will consummate in the New Jerusalem. During the four dispensations, God is working with man in the old creation. God is dispensing Himself into man to make him a new creation. Eventually, after the four dispensations, this new creation will consummate in the New Jerusalem, which will be the totality of the result of God’s work of the new creation among the old creation. Today, we are in the third dispensation, the dispensation of the church. In the coming age we shall be in the fourth dispensation, the dispensation of the kingdom, either as the overcomers or as those being disciplined.
23神在已过三个时代所作的,要在千年国得著完满的收成。因此,千年国对神祂所救赎的人将是一个节期。我们若仔细研读新约,就晓得在千年国里,神所救赎的人要分为两班,就是召会和以色列国。这两班人都要享受这节期。g拿美好之树的果子,棕树的枝子,多叶之树的枝条,和溪旁的柳枝,在耶和华面前欢乐七天
23The millennial kingdom will be a full harvest of what God has been doing in the last three dispensations. Hence, the millennial kingdom will be a feast both to God and to His redeemed. If we read the New Testament carefully, we shall realize that in the millennium God’s redeemed will include two peoples— the church and the kingdom of Israel. Both peoples will enjoy this feast. g. Taking the Fruit of Beautiful Trees, Branches of Palm Trees, Boughs of Leafy Trees, and Willows of the Brook, and Rejoicing before God for Seven Days
24『第一日你们要拿美好之树的果子,棕树的枝子,多叶之树的枝条,和溪旁的柳枝,在耶和华你们的神面前欢乐七天。』(利二三40。)这表征基督人性长青不衰、滋润、美丽、丰满的光景,从蒙神救赎的子民里面活出来。树是植物生命,在豫表上表征基督的人性。四十节的树表征基督人性的各面。基督不仅结满果子,也长满叶子,这特别显示祂人性的美丽。
24On the first day you shall take the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Jehovah your God for seven days” (v. 40). This signifies the evergreen, nourishing, beautiful, and rich scenery of the humanity of Christ being lived out from God’s redeemed people. Trees are of the plant life, and in typology plants signify Christ’s humanity. The trees in verse 40 signify different aspects of Christ’s humanity. Christ is not only full of fruit but also full of leaves, which in a particular way show the beauty of His humanity
25『在耶和华你们的神面前欢乐七天。』(利二三40下。)这表征在千年国里,蒙神救赎的子民活出基督的人性。甚至在今天,我们活在召会生活中,亲友都能在我们身上看见一些青翠、美丽、和得胜的东西。一些为人父母的,见证他们在孩子身上看见这样的彰显。在千年国里,所有的得胜者都活出基督人性那长青不衰、滋润、美丽、和丰满的光景。
25You shall rejoice before Jehovah your God for seven days” (v. 40b). This signifies the humanity of Christ being lived out of God’s redeemed people in the millennium. Even today, as we are living in the church life, our relatives may be able to see something upon us that is green, beautiful, and overcoming. Some parents have testified of seeing such an expression in their children. In the millennium all the overcomers will live out the evergreen, nourishing, beautiful, and rich scenery of the humanity of Christ
h蒙神救赎的子民要住在棚里七天
h. God’s Redeemed People to Dwell in Booths for Seven Days
26『你们要在一年内向耶和华守这节七天;这要作你们世世代代永远的律例。你们要在七月间守这节。你们要住在棚里七天;凡在41-以色列的本地人,都要住在棚里。』(利二三41~51。)这表征要来的千年国乃是神在旧造的一切世代,在祂赎民身上所作之工的总结。
26“You shall keep it as a feast to Jehovah for seven days in the year; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations; you shall keep it in the seventh month. You shall dwell in booths for seven days; all who are native in Israel shall dwell in booths” (vv. 42). This signifies that the coming millennium will be a conclusion of all that God has done with His redeemed people in the full course of the ages, the dispensations, in His old creation.
27在四个时代里,人并没有稳固的住处。甚至今天我们仍住在帐棚里。但是至终,目前可移动的帐幕要成为稳固的-有十二根基的新耶路撒冷。
27In the four dispensations man cannot have a solid dwelling place. Even today we are still dwelling in tabernacles, in booths. Eventually, the present, portable tabernacles will become a solid one—the New Jerusalem with a foundation of twelve layers
28贰七个作豫表的节期时代的
28II. THE DISPENSATIONAL FULFILLMENT OF THE SEVEN FESTIVALS AS TYPES
应验
29我们已经说过七个节期,现在我想说到这七个作豫表的节期时代的应验。
29Now that we have covered the seven festivals, I would like to say a word concerning the dispensational fulfillment of the seven festivals as types
一 逾越节
A. The Feast of the Passover
30逾越节已经应验于基督受死的那日。(太二六2,17~19,26~28,林前五7。)
30The feast of the Passover was fulfilled on the day of Christ’s death (Matt. 26:2, 17-19, 26-28; 1 Cor. 5:7
二 无酵节
B. The Feast of Unleavened Bread
31无酵节应验于召会时代。(林前五7~8。)
31The feast of unleavened bread is being fulfilled in the church age (1 Cor. 5:7-8
三 初熟节
C. The Feast of the Firstfruits
32初熟节已经应验于基督复活的那日。(林前十五20。)
32The feast of the firstfruits was fulfilled on the day of Christ’s resurrection (1 Cor. 15:20
四五 旬节
D. The Feast of Pentecost
33五旬节已经应验于基督复活后的第五十日,就是圣灵浇灌下来的那日。(徒二1~4,参徒一3。)
33The feast of Pentecost was fulfilled fifty days after Christ’s resurrection, on the day of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4; cf. Acts 1:3
34以上四个节期都时代的应验在同一年内,甚至在同半年内,就是基督受死,复活,以及升天,把圣灵浇灌下来的那一年。这完全与神的救赎有关,并且已经应用于我们这些基督徒身上。
34The above four feasts were dispensationally fulfilled in the same year, even in the first half of the year, when Christ died, resurrected, and ascended to pour out the Holy Spirit. This is all related to God’s redemption and has been applied to us as Christians
五 吹号节
E. The Feast of the Blowing of Trumpets
35吹号节要应验于基督的再来。(太二四31。)
35The feast of the blowing of trumpets will be fulfilled at Christ’s second coming (Matt. 24:31
六遮罪节
f the feast of propitiation
36遮罪节要应验于以色列人被聚集回到他们先祖之地以后,他们回转归向神的日子。(罗十一26~27,亚十二10~14。)以色列人回转归向神,不仅要实际的回到他们先祖之地,也要在灵里回转归向神自己。
36The feast of propitiation will be fulfilled on the day of Israel’s return to God, after they have been gathered back to their fathers’ land (Rom. 11:26-27; Zech. 12:10-14). Israel’s return to God will be not only a physical return to the land of their fathers but also a spiritual return to God Himself.
七 住棚节
G. The Feast of Tabernacles
37住棚节要应验于要来的千年国,为期一千年,(启二十4~6,)是神旧造里一切时期的总结,为著要来的新天新地有新耶路撒冷为其中心。(启二一1~2。)千年国要将神的新造引进新天新地,作其中的新耶路撒冷,存留直到永远;新耶路撒冷乃是神那从旧造产生出来之新造的总和。
37The feast of tabernacles will be fulfilled in the coming millennium for a thousand years (Rev. 20:4-6) as a conclusion of all the ages of God’sold creation, for the coming of the new heaven and the new earth with the New Jerusalem as their center (Rev. 21:1-2). The millennium will usher the new creation of God into the new heaven and new earth, where it will remain for eternity as the New Jerusalem, which will be the totality of God’s new creation produced out of His old creation
38末了这三个节期要在一年的『第七月,』就是基督回来的时候,得著应验。
38The last three feasts will be fulfilled in the “seventh month” of the year, when Christ will come back
