鼓励的豫言（六）

The Prophecies of Encouragement (6)
1读经：撒迦利亚书14:8-11,16-21。十二至十四章里豫言的中心，乃是基督这被弃绝的弥赛亚回来登宝座。在前面两篇信息中，我们看过在哈米吉顿大战的事上，并在以色列全家得救的事上，关于以色列之定命的豫言。在本篇信息中，我们要先来看在千年国的事上，关于以色列之定命鼓励的豫言，然后我们要比较但以理书和撒迦利亚书中两类主要的事。接著，我要说一点关于我们需要被带进神经纶之范围的话。
1Scripture Reading: Zech. 14:8-11, 16-21 The center of the prophecies in chapters twelve through fourteen is Christ as the rejected Messiah coming back to be enthroned. In the two foregoing messages we considered the prophecy concerning Israel's destiny in the great war of Armageddon and in their household salvation. In this message we will first consider the prophecy of encouragement concerning Israel's destiny in the millennium and then make a comparison of two main categories of things in the books of Daniel and Zechariah. Following this, I would like to give a word concerning our need to be brought into the realm of God'secon o my
三 在千年国的事上
C. In the Millennium
１ 必有活水从耶路撒冷出来
1. Living Waters Going Forth from Jerusalem
2在千年国里必没有干渴。必有活水从耶路撒冷出来，一半往东海（死海）流，一半往西海（地中海）流。（十四8。）这与以西结书的记载相似，那里说到活水从神的殿流出。（四七1～2。）
2In the millennium there will be no thirst. Living waters will go forth from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea, the Dead Sea, and half of them toward the western sea, the Mediterranean Sea (14:8). This is similar to the record in the book of Ezekiel concerning the living water flowing out of the temple of God (Ezek. 47:1-2
２ 耶和华（就是基督）必作全地的王
2. Jehovah as Christ Being King over All the Earth
3在千年国里，耶和华（就是基督）必作全地的王，祂必为独一的神，祂的名必为独一的名。（亚十四9。）
3In the millennium Jehovah as Christ will be King over all the earth, and He will be the one God and His name the one name (Zech. 14:9
３ 耶路撒冷必被举起
3. Jerusalem Being Raised Up and Dwelling in Her Place
4耶路撒冷必被举起，仍居本位。（10。）
4Jerusalem will be raised up and will dwell in her place (v. 10
４ 人必住在耶路撒冷，那里必不再有咒诅
4. People Dwelling in Jerusalem, and There Being No More Curse
5人必住在耶路撒冷，那里必不再有咒诅，因为耶路撒冷人必安然居住。（11。）没有咒诅，反而有祝福和平安。
5People will dwell in Jerusalem, and there will be no more curse, for Jerusalem will dwell securely (v. 11). Instead of curse, there will be blessing with security
５ 所有来攻击耶路撒冷的列国中剩下的人，必年年前来敬拜大君王万军之耶和华，并守住棚节
5. Everyone Left from All the Nations That Went Forth against Jerusalem Going Up from Year to Year to Worship the King, Jehovah of Hosts, and to Keep the Feast of Tabernacles
6所有来攻击耶路撒冷的列国中剩下的人，必年年前来敬拜大君王万军之耶和华，并守住棚节。（16。）凡不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王万军之耶和华的，必无雨降给他们，却有从耶和华来的疫症击打列国。这就是他们的罪。（17～19。）因为现今的时代乃是恩典的时代，所以神降雨给义人，也给不义的人。（太五45。）但要来的时代乃是公义的时代；凡不上耶路撒冷敬拜大君王并守住棚节的，就得不到雨。这是公义的。
6Everyone left from all the nations that went forth against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles (v. 16). Whoever does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, upon them there will be no rain, but there will be the plague with which Jehovah strikes the nations. This will be their sin (vv. 17-19). Because the present age is the age of grace, God sends rain on the just and the unjust alike (Matt. 5:45). But the coming age will be the age of righteousness. Those who do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles will not receive rain. This is righteous
６ 归耶和华为圣
6. Holiness to Jehovah of Hosts
7在千年国里，马的铃铛上必有归耶和华为圣这句话；耶和华殿内的锅必如祭坛前的盆一样。（亚十四20。）锅是小的，盆是大的。但在千年国里，神殿内的锅必如祭坛前的盆一样大。凡在耶路撒冷和犹大的锅，都必归万军之耶和华为圣；凡献祭的都必来取这些锅，在其中煮肉。当那日，在万军之耶和华的殿中必不再有迦南人（或，买卖的人）。（21。）这是以色列在千年国里的定命。但以理书和撒迦利亚书中
7In the millennium, on the horses' bells will be, "Holiness to Jehovah"; and the pots in the house of Jehovah will be like the basins before the altar (Zech. 14:20). The pots are something small, and the basins are something large. But in the millennium the pots in the house of God will be as large as the basins before the altar. Indeed every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holiness to Jehovah of hosts; and all those who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them; and there will never again be a Canaanite (or, merchant) in the house of Jehovah of hosts in that day (v. 21). This is Israel's destiny in the millennium. A COMPARISON OF TWO MAIN CATEGORIES OF THINGS
两类主要的事的比较
in the books of Daniel and Zechariah
8现在让我们接著来看但以理书和撒迦利亚书中两类主要的事的比较。
8Let us now go on to make a comparison of two main categories of things in the books of Daniel and Zechariah
9壹关于人类政权的事
9I. OF THE THINGS CONCERNING HUMAN GOVERNMENT
一 但以理书里
A. In the Book of Daniel
10在但以理书里，大人像表征地上人类全部的政权，如同骨架。（二。）从地中海上来的四兽，是地上人类政权的概略。（七。）公绵羊和公山羊及其继承者，是波斯帝国和希腊帝国及其继承者的概略，结束于安提阿克以比凡尼，他是敌基督的第一个豫表。（八。）南方王和北方王，是希腊帝国继承者之间争战的记录，结束于安提阿克以比凡尼，他是敌基督的第一个豫表。（十一。）七十个七是以色列定命的概略，从他们的被掳归回到这世代的终结，结束于敌基督。（九。）
10In Daniel the great human image signifies the entire human government on earth as a skeleton (ch. 2). The four beasts from the Mediterranean Sea give a sketch of human government on earth (ch. 7). A ram and a male goat with its successors give a sketch of the Persian Empire and the Grecian Empire with its successors, ending with the one, Antiochus Epiphanes, who is the first type of Antichrist (ch. 8). The king of the south and the king of the north give a record of the wars between the successors of the Grecian Empire, ending with Antiochus Epiphanes, the first type of Antichrist (ch. 11). The seventy weeks give a sketch of the destiny of Israel, from the return from their captivity to the consummation of the present age, ending with Antichrist (ch. 9).
二 撒迦利亚书里
B. In the Book of Zechariah
11在撒迦利亚书里，关于犹大四围的列国与以色列之关系的豫言，显示出希腊帝国入侵圣地，以及其继承者被犹太英雄击败的一些细节。（九。）关于以色列在罗马帝国压迫下之生活的豫言，显示出关于在罗马帝国暴虐下之生活的一些细节。（十一。）关于在哈米吉顿大战中以色列之定命的豫言，显示出人类政权（由但以理二章大人像所豫表）的最后部分（由大人像脚指头所豫表），要如何被毁灭的细节。（十二，十四。）
11In Zechariah the prophecy concerning the nations around Judah in relation to Israel gives some details of the Grecian Empire'sin va sion into the holy land and the defeat of its successor by the heroic Jews (ch. 9). The prophecy concerning the living of Israel under the oppression of the Roman Empire gives some details about the living under the tyranny of the Roman Empire (ch. 11). The prophecy concerning Israel's destiny in the great war of Armageddon gives the details of how human government, signified by the great human image in Daniel 2, will be destroyed in its final part, signified by the toes of the great human image (chs. 12, 14
贰 关于基督的事
II. OF THE THINGS CONCERNING CHRIST
一 但以理书里
A. In the Book of Daniel
12但以理书启示某些关于基督的重要的事。按照九章二十六节，基督（就是弥赛亚）的钉死，是旧造的了结，为著在祂的复活里，神新造新生的起头。在十章四至九节，我们看见超越的基督，就是神在地上行动的中心和普及，向但以理显现，给他珍赏，叫他得安慰、得鼓励，作他的期望，使他得坚定。但以理七章十三至十四节揭示亘古常在者将永远的权柄、荣耀、和国度，赐给要来的人子基督，使各族、各国、各种方言的人，都事奉祂。最后，但以理说到基督这非人手所凿之石头的显现，要砸在大人像身上，了结地上人类全部的政权，并且成为一座大山，表征神永远的国要充满全地。（二34～35。）
12The book of Daniel reveals certain crucial things concerning Christ. According to 9:26, the crucifixion of Christ, the Messiah, was the termination of the old creation and the germination of God's new creation in His resurrection. In 10:4-9 we see the appearing of the excellent Christ, the centrality and universality of God's move on earth, to Daniel for his appreciation, consolation, encouragement, expectation, and stabilization. Daniel 7:13-14 unveils the coming of Christ as the Son of Man with the eternal dominion, glory, and kingdom given to Him by the Ancient of Days, that all the peoples, nations, and languages might serve Him. Finally, Daniel speaks regarding the appearing of Christ as the stone cut out without hands to strike the great human image to terminate the entire human government on earth and become a great mountain, signifying the eternal kingdom of God filling the whole earth (2:34-35
二 撒迦利亚书里
B. In the Book of Zechariah
13撒迦利亚书启示关于基督的许多事。首先，救赎的基督，是人又是耶和华的使者，祂是三一神具体的化身，为神所差遣，与被掳中受屈辱的以色列人（由在洼地的番石榴树所表征）同在。（一～11。）然后，在人性里是人的基督，乃万军之耶和华所差遣者，也是差遣者万军之耶和华，来对付列国；这些列国掳掠锡安的子民，触摸他们，如同触摸祂眼中的瞳人。（二1，8～10。）
13The book of Zechariah reveals many things concerning Christ. First, the redeeming Christ, as a man and as the Angel of Jehovah, the embodiment of the Triune God, was sent by God to be with His humiliated people of Israel in their captivity, signified by the myrtle trees in the bottoms (1:8-11). Then Christ, as a man in His 8 humanity, was the One sent by Jehovah of hosts and was also the Sender, Jehovah of hosts, dealing with the nations who plundered the people of Zion and touched them as touching the pupil of His eye (2:1, 8-10).
14接著，基督是耶和华的仆人和苗，成为耶和华所雕刻、其上有七眼的石头，为要除去圣地的罪孽，来建造神的殿。（三8～9。）基督也是恩典的顶石，为著完成神殿的建造。（四7～9。）基督是苗，为著建造神的殿，必担负尊荣，坐在宝座上掌权，作祭司并且作王。（六12～13。）基督是以色列的王，谦谦和和的骑著驴，就是骑著驴驹，进耶路撒冷，（九9，）但基督作为神选民的牧人，却被人弃绝，以三十块银子的奴仆价值被卖。（十一12～13。）基督作为神的同伴，是神所差遣的牧人，
14Following this, Christ was the Servant of Jehovah and the Shoot to be the stone with seven eyes engraved by God for the removing of the iniquity of the holy land for the building of the temple of God (3:8-9). Christ was also the topstone of grace for the completion of the building of the temple of God (4:7-9). Christ as the Shoot for the building of the temple of God will bear majesty and will sit and rule on His throne as a Priest and as a King (6:12-13). Christ as the King of Israel came into Jerusalem lowly and riding upon a donkey, even upon a colt (9:9), yet Christ as the Shepherd of God'select was rejected and sold at the price of a slave, thirty pieces of silver (11:12-13). Christ as God's Fellow was the God-sent Shepherd, but He was attacked unto death (13:7
15却被攻击，以至于死。（十三7。）
15
16基督再来的时候，必向以色列人显为他们的救赎主和救主，就是他们所扎的，他们必仰望祂，为祂哀哭。（十二10。）基督要来作真正的申言者，却被祂的亲人以色列所弃所伤，为他们的救恩立了根基，并为他们的罪恶与污秽开了一个泉源。（十三5～6，1。）
16At His coming, Christ will appear to the children of Israel as their Redeemer and Savior, the One who was pierced by them, and they will look upon Him and wail over Him (12:10). Christ came as the real Prophet, but He was rejected and wounded by Israel, who were His relatives, to make the base for their salvation and an open fountain for their sin and their iniquity (13:5-6, 1
17在这世代的末了，基督必来站在橄榄山上，与围困耶路撒冷的列国争战。（十四3～4。）然后在千年国里，基督（就是耶和华），必作全地的王。（9。）撒迦利亚书所揭示的基督，就是那被扎伤，带著扎开之泉源的一位，乃是神经纶的中心与普及。祂是这样的一位，与人类历史有密切的关系，特别与波斯帝国、希腊帝国和罗马帝国有关。罗马帝国尤其对基督有帮助。基督是在罗马帝国之下出生的。若没有罗马帝国，基督就不可能出生。祂的成长、尽职、被钉、复活和升天，都是在罗马帝国之下发生的。基督那成就神永远救赎的死，乃是在罗马帝国下完成的。召会的构成和福音的传扬，也发生在罗马帝国之下。罗马帝国在法律及文化上的影响，延续直到今天，这自然也被神使用，来成就祂使基督作祂经纶之中心与普及的目的。
17At the end of this age, Christ will come to stand on the Mount of Olives and will fight with the nations that besiege Jerusalem (14:3-4). Then Christ as Jehovah will be King over all the earth in the millennium (v. 9). The Christ unveiled in Zechariah, the pierced One with whom there is the open fountain, is the centrality and universality of God ' secon o my. As such a One, He is intimately involved with human history, in particular with the Persian Empire, the Grecian Empire, and the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire especially has been helpful to Christ. Christ was born under the Roman Empire. Without the Roman Empire, it would not have been possible for Christ to be born. He grew up, carried out His ministry, was crucified, resurrected, and ascended under the Roman Empire. Christ ' sdeath for the accomplishment of God's eternal redemption was consummated under the Roman Empire. The formation of the church and the preaching of the gospel also took place under the Roman Empire. Surely, the Roman Empire, whose influence in law and culture continues today, has been used by God to fulfill His intention to make Christ the centrality and universality of His economy.
18关于我们需要被带进
18a word concerning our need to be brought
神经纶之范围的话
into the realm of God'secon o my
19在此我要说一点关于我们需要被带进神经纶之范围的话。大多数基督徒以为圣经是一本教导人作好、合乎道德、敬虔并属灵的书。这没有错，这是对的，也是好的。但这只是为著他们自己的益处，一点也没有为著神。教导人作好、合乎伦理道德、敬虔并属灵，只是圣经中的一个小点。圣经中主要的点乃是关乎神的经纶，但今天在基督教里几乎没有人讲说神的经纶。以赛亚书、但以理书和撒迦利亚书都说到基督，但不只说到基督是我们的救主、救赎主、和拯救者，更说到基督是神行动的中心与普及，以完成神在地上的经纶。在主的恢复以外，你能在那里听到这样的话？因为没有人顾到神的经纶，主已经迟延了将近二千年。世界的局势已经豫备好等著主耶稣回来，但神的经纶怎么办呢？神经纶的中心乃是要得著一个身体来彰显基督。至终，这身体要成为基督的新妇，作祂的配偶与祂相配，并要与祂一同降到地上，完成神经纶末了的一步。今天，世界局势已经豫备好让祂回来，但主还没有得著祂的配偶。所以，祂还没有路回来；祂仍在等待。
19At this point I would like to say a word concerning our need to be brought into the realm of God'secon o my. Most Christians consider the Bible to be a book which teaches them to be good, ethical, godly, and spiritual. This is not wrong; it is right and good. But this is only for their own benefit; this is not at all for God. Teaching people to be good, moral, ethical, godly, and spiritual is only a minor point in the Bible. The major point in the Bible concerns God'secon o my, yet in Christianity today nearly no one talks about God'secon o my. The books of Isaiah, Daniel, and Zechariah are on Christ, not only as our Savior, Redeemer, and Deliverer but also as the centrality and universality of God's move to fulfill His economy on earth. Outside the Lord's recovery, where can you hear such a word? Because hardly anyone cares for God'secon o my, the Lord has been delayed for nearly two thousand years. The world situation is ready for the Lord Jesus to come back, but what about God'secon o my? The center of God'secon o my is to have a Body to express Christ. Eventually, this Body will be Christ's bride to match Him as His counterpart and to come down to earth with Him to carry out the final step of God'secon o my. Today, the world situation is ready for His coming, but the Lord has not yet gained His counterpart. Therefore, He has no way to come back. He is still waiting
20历世纪以来，主继续不断的作工，藉著那些爱祂的人恢复所失去的真理。但因著他们的迟钝，主只好慢慢的行动。对于因信称义这个基本项目，路德马丁很强；但对于召会的实行，他就不是这样了。路德之后，神使用奥秘派的人来恢复内里的生命，又用新生铎夫和与他一起的人，初步的恢复召会生活的实行。之后，在十九世纪，神使用弟兄们，更完满的恢复召会生活的实行。然而，他们不久就败落了。所以，在本世纪初，主在中国作了一些事，得著了召会生活的完满恢复。现今，这个完全的恢复临到了我们。
20Throughout the centuries, the Lord has been continually working through those who love Him to recover the lost truths. But because of their dullness, the Lord has had to move quite slowly. Martin Luther was strong concerning justification by faith, a basic item, but not concerning the church practice. Following Luther, the mystics were used by God to recover the inner life, and with Zinzendorf and his companions there was the recovery of the practice of the church life in an initial way. Later, in the nineteenth century, God used the Brethren to recover the practice of the church life in a much fuller way. However, they soon became degraded. Therefore, early in this century the Lord did something in China to gain the recovery of the church life in a full way. Now the recovery in this full sense has come to us
21我很担心，那些被带到主恢复里的亲爱圣徒，所得著主要的帮助，只是先在得救的证实上，然后在敬虔、合乎道德、属灵并得胜这类的事上。这些事都非常好。但我不相信在主恢复里，有许多人对神的经纶是清楚的。神的经纶乃是将基督分赐到祂所拣选的人里面，使他们首先成为基督的身体以彰显祂，然后成为基督的新妇与祂相配，并完成神那神圣分赐的经纶。当然，我很高兴有这么多人到这里来得著帮助，寻求神，寻求基督，在生命上长大，并且更敬虔，更属灵，更得胜，但我对此并不满意。我愿意我们的眼睛都被开启，看见神的经纶。我在这些信息中的心愿和目标，乃是要帮助你们往前，从追求属灵的范围进到另一个范围，看见神的愿望，神的喜悦。按照祂永远的安排（或经纶），神是要得著召会（圣经所说到的正确的召会）。基督教完全是组织，但圣经所启示的召会，该完全是生机的，满了基督作生命，满了终极完成的三一神，就是包罗万有赐生命的灵，以神的生命和性情来重组我们，并使我们与神联合成为一灵。这就是神藉著祂的分赐而有的经纶。
21I am concerned that the dear saints who have been brought into the Lord's recovery have mainly received help first in the assurance of salvation and then in such matters as godliness, ethics, spirituality, and overcoming. All these things are very good. Nevertheless, I do not believe that many among us in the Lord's recovery are clear about God'secon o my. God'secon o my is to dispense Christ into His elect that they might become first the Body of Christ to express Him and then the bride of Christ to match Him and fulfill God'secon o my in the divine dispensing. Of course, I am happy that so many have come to receive help to seek God, to seek Christ, to grow in life, and to be more godly, more spiritual, and more overcoming, but I am not satisfied with this. I would rather that we all had the eyes to see God'secon o my. My intention, my goal, in all these messages is to help you to advance beyond the realm of seeking for spirituality into another realm to see God's desire, God's good pleasure. According to His eternal arrangement, or economy, God desires to have the church, a proper church in the biblical sense. Christianity is a totality of organization, but the church revealed in the Bible should be absolutely organic and full of Christ as life, full of the Triune God in His consummation—the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit—to constitute us with God's life and nature and to join us with God as one spirit. This is God'secon o my through His dispensing
22今天在基督教里，甚至在最属灵的人中间，所教导的不过是甜点，而不是食物。那种教导会伤害你，过于滋养你。你来读这些信息，若仅是为著得帮助好更寻求神，更寻求基督，并在生命上长大，连这也是在甜点的范围里。你需要干粮。（来五11～14。）奶是给婴孩的，干粮是给成人的。今天在千千万万的基督徒中间，谁不是婴孩？我们举办圣经生命读经的训练，至今已有十七年了，但大部分圣徒仍然停留、逗留、排徊在属灵、得胜等事的范围里。甚至在同工中间，也很少人彀资格释放一篇关于神经纶同神圣分赐的信息。我们需要被带到另一个范围，不是所谓属灵的范围，乃是神经纶，神分赐的范围。直到我看见这事，我才会满足。我相当高兴，主将这些真理在我们中间释放出来，我也有完全的信心和把握，这一切最终都要实现；但我巴望看到这一切得著完成。
22Today in Christianity, even among the most spiritual ones, what is taught is not food but sugar. That kind of teaching harms you more than it nourishes you. If you read these messages for the purpose merely to receive help to be more seeking after God, more seeking after Christ, and to grow in life, even this is in the realm of sugar. You need solid food (Heb. 5:11-14). Whereas milk is for babes, solid food is for the mature. Among the millions of Christians today, who is not a babe? We have been carrying out the life-study of the Scriptures now for seventeen years, yet most of the saints are still remaining, lingering, wandering, in the realm of being spiritual, victorious, overcoming, and so forth. Very few, even among the co-workers, are qualified to give a message on God'secon o my with the divine dispensing. We need to be brought into another realm, not the so-called spiritual realm but the realm of God'secon o my, God's dispensing. I will not be satisfied until I see this. I am somewhat happy that the Lord has released all these truths among us, and I have the full faith and assurance that all these things will eventually be realized; yet I long to see their fulfillment.
