警告的话（二）

The Word of Warning (2)
1读经：利未记二十六章一至二十节。在本篇信息中，我要进一步说到利未记二十六章，警告的话的第一部分。
1Scripture Reading: Lev. 26:1-20 In the next message we shall cover the second part of the word of warning in Leviticus 26. In this message I would like to give a further word on what was covered in the previous message
顺从的根据
The Basis for Our Obedience
2二十六章一至二十节给我们看见顺从的拫据，这根据包括三件事。首先，不该有偶像。（利二六1。）这表征除神以外，我们不该有其他寻求的目标，使我们不致失去享受神圣产业的地位。第二，要守神的安息日。（利二六2上。）这表征我们该知道神的工作完全是由祂自己完成的，使我们可以享受，我们不需要作甚么工。第三，需要尊敬神的圣所。（利二六2。）这表征我们该尊敬神在作祂居所、具体化身、并彰显的基督里，（约一14，西二，）并在作基督之扩大、是神居所并永远显出的召会里，（弗二22，启二一10，）所是并所完成的一切。我们不仅需要从字句来领悟这些点，更需要看见这些点的内在意义。
2In 26:1-20 we are given a basis for our obedience, and this basis includes three matters. First, we should not have idols (v. 1). This signifies that besides God we should have no other goals that we are seeking after, so that we may not lose the position to enjoy our divine possession. Second, we should keep God’s sabbaths (v. 2a). This signifies that we should know that the work of God was done entirely by Himself that we might enjoy it, and that there is no need for us to do any work. Third, we need to reverence God’s sanctuary (v. 2b). This signifies that we should regard with reverence all that God is and has accomplished in Christ as God’s dwelling, embodiment, and expression (John 1:1 4; Col. 2:9), and in the church as the9 enlargement of Christ for God’s dwelling and eternal manifestation (Eph. 2:22; Rev. 21:10). We need not only to understand these points in letter but also to see their intrinsic significance.
经过过程的三一神是我们独一的目标
The Processed Triune God as Our Unique Goal
3神自己必须是我们独一的目标。我们是神的造物，更是祂的儿女，我们不可在祂以外还有所追求。祂该是我们所追求独一的目标。
3God Himself must be our unique goal. As His creatures and especially as His children, we should not seek anything other than Him. He should be the unique goal after which we are seeking
4我们的神今天乃是经过过程的三一神。既然如此，神就和创世记一章里的不一样了。神已经经过了过程。这就是说，祂已经经过了成为肉体、为人生活、包罗万有的死、以及奇妙的复活。不仅如此，祂还进入了天。祂也降下来，好得著我们，也叫我们得著祂，使祂自己与我们成为一，并以祂来构成我们。这就是经过过程的三一神与我们的调和。今天这经过过程的三一神该是我们独一的目标。
4Our God today is the processed Triune God. As such, He is not the same as He was in Genesis 1. God has been processed. This means that He has passed through many processes. He has passed through incarnation, through human living, through an all-inclusive death, and through a wonderful resurrection. Furthermore, He has entered into ascension. He has also descended to gain us and to enable us to gain Him, making Himself one with us and making us one with Him and constituting us with Him. This is a matter of the mingling of the processed Triune God with us. Today this processed Triune God should be our unique goal
神为我们的安息所成就的工作
The Work God Has Accomplished for Our Rest
5我们顺从之根据的第二项，乃是要认识神所作的。这就是说，我们要接受神所作的，并因此而安息。然而，大多数的人都忽略了神的工作，想要为自己并凭自己作些甚么。这是信徒与非信徒中间相同的光景。许多信徒忽视神为他们所成就的工作，而要凭自己工作，为自己成就些甚么。但在神看来，忽视祂为我们所作的，乃是一个侮辱；祂乃是要使我们在祂并祂的工作中得著安息。在神并神的工作中安息，就是守祂的安息日。
5The second item in the basis of our obedience is realizing what God has done. This means that we should take God’s work and rest because of it. However, most people neglect God’s work and, instead, try to do something for themselves and by themselves. This is the situation among believers as well as unbelievers. Many believers ignore what God’s work has accomplished for them and work by themselves to accomplish something for themselves. But it is an insult to God to ignore what He has done for us that we may rest in Him and in His work. To rest in God and in His work is to keep His sabbath.
6我们可能忽视神的工作，而在为神作事的藉口下，寻求为自己并凭自己作些甚么。这样的事表面上可能是好的，实际上却是侮辱神，因为忽视了神为我们所作，给我们享受，并叫我们可以在祂里面安息。我们不该忽视神所作的，却该否认我们所能或想要作的。我们需要否认自己的工作，只该尊重神的工作，并安息在祂里面。
6We may ignore God’s work and seek to do something for ourselves and by ourselves under the cloak of doing something for God. Such a thing may have a good appearance, but it is actually an insult to God, for it ignores what He has done for us that we may rest in Him and enjoy what He has done for us. Instead of ignoring what God has done, we should deny what we can do or want to do. We need to deny our work but honor God’s work and rest in Him
神工作的结果
The Result of God’s Work
7我们顺从的根据首先是神自己，然后是神的工作。现在要来看我们顺从之根据的第三项，那就是神工作的结果。神工作的结果是甚么？简单的说，就是召会；召会乃是那终极完成之基督的扩大，作了神的居所、神的具体化身、神的彰显、并神永远的显出。这就是召会，这样的召会乃是神工作的结果、成果。这三项－神、神的工作、以及神工作的结果－完全涵括在圣经六十六卷书中。在旧约，我们看见豫表；在新约，我们看到应验。因此，整本圣经就是揭示这三件事。首先是经过过程的三一神，并祂那为著我们安息的工作；接著是祂工作的结果，就是那作终极完成之基督的彰显与扩大的召会。我们需要看见这些事。看见这三件事要给我们有力的根据来顺从神，并与神同行。
7The basis for our obedience is first God Himself and then God’s work. Now we come to the third item in the basis for our obedience, and this is the result of God’s work. What is the result, the issue, of God’s work? In brief, it is the church as the enlargement of the consummated Christ to be God’s dwelling, God’s embodiment, God’sex press i on, and God’s eternal manifestation. This is the church, and such a church is the result, the issue, the produce, of God’s work. These three matters—God, God’s work, and the result of God’s work—are covered fully in the sixty-six books of the Bible. In the Old Testament we see the types, and in the New Testament we see the fulfillment. The entire Bible is thus an unveiling of these three things. First we have the processed Triune God and His work for our rest, and then, as the result of His work, we have the church as the expression and the enlargement of the consummated Christ. We need to see this. Seeing these three things will give us a strong basis for obeying, going along with, God
尊重经过过程的三一神
Honoring the Processed Triune God
8我们可能谈论顺从神，却不晓得顺从神真正的意义是甚么。顺从神就是尊重祂这位经过过程的三一神。神在永远里是完全的，但祂仍需要经过一段过程，才得著完成。有些人认为这样说是不尊敬神。事实上，这乃是尊敬神。在已过的永远里，神是完全的，但祂还没有完成。神在成为肉体以前，只有神性，没有人性。但神在成为人以后，既有人性，也有神性。今天我们的神不仅是有神性的神，祂乃是兼有神性与人性的神人。祂是耶稣，也是以马内利。在耶稣的名里可以看到耶和华这圣名，因为耶稣这名的意思就是『耶和华救主。』耶稣也是以马内利，意思就是『神与我们同在。』因此在以马内利的名里，可以看到神，也可以看到人。由此可见，我们的神今天乃是神人；祂兼有神性与人性；既神圣又属人，既属人又神圣。
8We may talk about obeying God without knowing what it really means to obey God. To obey God is to honor Him as the processed Triune God. In eternity God was perfect, but He still needed to pass through a process in order to be consummated. Some think that if we speak this way about God, we do not reverence Him. Actually, it is to honor Him. In eternity past God was perfect, but He was not complete. Before His incarnation, God had divinity, but He did not have humanity. But after He became a man, He had humanity as well as divinity. Today our God is not merely God with divinity; He is the God-man with both divinity and humanity. He is Jesus and Emmanuel. In the name Jesus we can see the holy name Jehovah, for the name Jesus means “Jehovah the Savior.” Jesus is also Emmanuel, which means “God with us.” Hence, in the name Emmanuel we can see both God and man. From this we see that our God today is the God - man; He is of both divinity and humanity. He is divinely human and humanly divine.
9神在成为人的时候，并没有把祂的神格放在一边。耶稣凭神而活，并与神同活；祂乃是活在与神是一的里面。正如祂所说的，祂从不单独，因为父常与祂同在。（约十六32，八29。）
9When God became a man. He did not set His Godhead aside. No, Jesus lived by God and with God; He lived in oneness with God. As He said, He was never alone because the Father was always with Him (John 16:32; 8:29
10因著耶稣这人里面有神，并与神是一，因此祂是个奥秘。甚至对祂的门徒来说，也是如此。他们晓得祂是人，因为他们看见祂吃，也看见祂流泪。然而，祂却能行人所不能的奇妙之事。因此，门徒必定感到奇怪，自问祂到底是谁。有一天，耶稣问他们：『你们说我是谁？』（太十六15。）这兼有神性与人性的一位，乃是美妙的人；祂完全是个奥秘。我们的神今天乃是这样的一位神。
10Because Jesus was a man with God in Him and one with Him, He was a mystery, even to His disciples. They knew He was human, for they had seen Him eat and also weep. But although He was a man, He did marvelous things, things which no man was able to do. Hence, the disciples must have wondered about Him, asking themselves who He was. One day He asked them, “Who do you say that I am?” (Matt. 16:15). As the One with divinity and humanity, He is a wonderful person; He is altogether a mystery. Our God today is such a God
11摩西从神领受那赐给以色列人之警告的话时，并不晓得神是那经过过程的一位。那时，神只是完全的神，但还没有完成。我们今天所认识的神与摩西所认识的不同。这并不表示神有两位。神只有一位，却有两个阶段。摩西认识的神，是在神还未成为人，仅仅是神的阶段。然而，我们所敬拜的神不仅仅是神，乃是神人。有一个人在天上，这人就是神。这就是我们的神，基督徒的神。
11When Moses received from God the word of warning that was to be given to the children of Israel, he did not know God as the One who had been processed. At that time God was only the perfect God; He had not yet been completed. But the God we know today is different from the God Moses knew. This certainly does not mean that there are two Gods. No, there is one God, but He is in two stages. Moses knew God at the stage when He was only God without being a man. However, we worship God not only as God but also as the God-man. There is a Man in heaven, and this Man is the very God. This is our God, the God of the Christians
12有些基督徒也许不晓得，他们的神乃是经过成为肉体、为人生活、钉十字架、复活并升天的神人。神成为肉体以后，祂这位神人，这位在人里面的神，在地上生活了三十三年半。祂住在被人藐视的拿撒勒城，一个木匠的家里。祂亲手作木匠的工作，在历史上，甚至有人说祂是拿撒勒的木匠。祂是木匠，但祂也是神。几乎无法想像，神竟在人里面，且作木匠的工作。
12Some Christians may not realize that their God is the God - man who has passed through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. After He became incarnate, He lived on earth as the God-man, as God in a man, for thirty-three and a half years. He lived in a carpenter’sho me in the despised town of Nazareth. He worked as a carpenter Himself, and in history some have even referred to Him as the Carpenter of Nazareth. He was a carpenter, but He was also the very God. It is almost unimaginable that God was in a man doing the work of carpentry.
13主耶稣这彰显神的奇妙之人，在地上生活了三十三年半。祂经过了为人生活的过程，也经过了死的过程。祂被埋在坟墓里，并且下到阴间，在那里停留了一段时间。这一切都是死的过程。经过死的过程之后，主耶稣进入了复活，在复活里祂不仅在神性里，也带著人性，得了释放。因此在祂复活的所是里，不仅有神性；也有人性。人天然的光景，都被带到复活里。没有人能完全明白或充分解释，但圣经却清楚启示这事。主耶稣这复活者又升上诸天，到了宇宙的至高处，现今祂在那里乃是带著人性的神。（徒七55。）
13For thirty-three and a half years the Lord Jesus lived on earth as a wonderful man who was the expression of God. Having passed through the process of human living, He passed through the process of death. He was buried in the tomb, and He entered into Hades, where He remained for a period of time. All this was part of the process of death. After passing through the process of death, the Lord Jesus entered into resurrection where He was released not only in His divinity but also with His humanity. Therefore, in His resurrected being there is not only divinity but also humanity. Everything of the natural state was brought into resurrection. Although no one can understand this fully or explain it adequately, it is clearly revealed in the Bible. As the resurrected One, the Lord Jesus ascended into the heavens, to the highest peak in the universe, and He is there today as a person who is God with humanity (Acts 7:55
14祂是这样一位带著人性的神，『浓缩』为包罗万有、复合、内住、赐生命、终极完成的灵。这灵乃是终极完成、经过过程的三一神。因著祂是浓缩的，所以很容易将自己分赐到我们里面。现今祂与我们是一，我们也与祂是一。（林前六17。）我们是谁？我们乃是奇妙基督这位神的具体化身之扩大。这扩大就是神的居所、神的彰显、和永远的显出。经过过程的三一神同祂工作及祂工作之结果的异象，将我们构成顺从者
14As such a God with humanity, He is “condensed” as the all-inclusive, compound, indwelling, life-giving, consummated Spirit. This Spirit is the consummated, processed Triune God. Because He is condensed, it is easy for Him to impart Himself into our spirit. Now He is one with us, and we are one with Him (1 Cor. 6:17). Who, then, are we? We are the enlargement of the wonderful Christ who is the embodiment of God. This enlargement is God’s dwelling, God’sex press i on, and God’s eternal manifestation. The Vision of the Processed Triune God with His Word and the Result of His Word Constituting Us into Obedient Ones
15我们需要接受这位经过过程的三一神、祂的工作、以及祂工作的结果，作我们顺从的根据。有了这三项作我们的根据，我们就会顺从神。我们会听祂，接受祂的话，与祂同行，并渴慕与祂是一。
15We need to take the processed Triune God, His work, and the result of His work as the basis for our obedience. With these three things as our basis, we shall obey God. We shall listen to Him, receive His word, go along with Him, and desire to be one with Him
16看见了经过过程的三一神同祂的工作，及祂工作之结果的异象，会将我们构成顺从者。我们会说，『阿们，主，我爱你，爱你的工作，也爱你工作的结果。因这结果，我与你是一，你也与我是一。你正将你自己作到我里面，我也正被你构成。主，顺从你并不困难，也不难受，乃是甜蜜且享受的。我喜欢享受你所是的一切，享受你的工作，也享受你工作的结果。我就在这里享受你自己、你的工作、和召会生活！』的确，我们若看见这样的异象，有这样的享受，就会得著完全的满足，很容易放弃世界而顺从神。
16Seeing the vision of the processed Triune God with His work and the result of His work will constitute us into obedient ones. We will say, “Amen, Lord. I love You, I love Your work, and I love the result of Your work. In this result I am one with You, and You are one with me. You are working Yourself into me, and I am being constituted with You. Lord, obeying You is not hard or harsh but sweet and enjoyable. I like to enjoy all that You are, to enjoy Your work, and to enjoy the result of Your work. Lord, here I am in the enjoyment of Yourself, of Your work, and of the church life!” Surely, if we see such a vision and have such an enjoyment, we shall be fully satisfied, and it will be easy for us to give up the world and obey God.
蒙神祝福
Receiving God’s Blessing
17我们若顺从就蒙福。按照利未记二十六章三至十三节，这祝福有六个结果。头一项结果是雨，表征那灵。第二项结果是地出产粮食，使我们满足，表征我们住在作我们美地的基督里，享受基督的丰富作我们的满足和安全。第三项结果是赐给地上平安，表征召会中平安的生活。第四项结果是追赶仇敌，五个人追赶一百人，一百人追赶一万人，表征召会要在身体的配搭里追赶仇敌。从前我们是单独的，但现今我们乃是团体的身体。第五项结果是繁衍增多，表征召会要多结果子，繁衍增多。第六项结果是神的居所在百姓中间，表征神的居所要在召会中建造起来，叫神喜悦，使祂可以居住在祂的子民中间。作神的居所乃是莫大的祝福，甚至是终极的祝福。我们若顺从神，就可以享受神这带著六项结果的祝福。
17If we obey God, we shall receive His blessing. According to Leviticus 26:3-13, this blessing has six issues. The first of these issues is the rain, which signifies the Spirit. The second issue is the food of the land for our satisfaction, which signifies dwelling in Christ as our good land and enjoying the riches of Christ for our satisfaction and security. The third issue is the peace given in the land, which signifies a peaceful life in the church. The fourth issue is chasing the enemies, with five chasing a hundred and a hundred chasing ten thousand, which signifies the church chasing the enemies in the coordination of the Body. Once we were individuals, but now we are a corporate Body. The fifth issue is fruitfulness in multiplication, which signifies the church being fruitful and multiplying. The sixth issue is God’s dwelling place being among the people, which signifies that God’s dwelling place will be built up in the church for God’s delight that He may dwell among His people. To be God’s dwelling place is a great blessing, even the consummate blessing. If we obey God, we shall enjoy His blessing with these six issues
