进入幔内与出到营外

Enter Within the Veil and Go Outside the Camp
1我们若是深入希伯来书,就会看见全书是说到两件事─进入幔内与出到营外。我们必须进入幔内,并出到营外。幔内只有一个独一的地方,就是至圣所。我们在幔子以内,就是在至圣所里。在至圣所这独一的地方,只有一样独一的东西,就是见证柜,作基督完满的象征。在这独一的柜里,有三样宝贵的东西,就是隐藏的吗哪、发芽的杖、和见证的律法,也就是生命之律,带进神的彰显和见证。以上简单的话,开启了一个极宽广的范围,告诉我们『幔内』的意义。在幔内就是在至圣所里,在这个范围里,我们有分于基督,并享受隐藏的吗哪、发芽的杖、和生命之律,这律带进神的团体彰显。这就是神永远定旨的完成。
1If we get into the depths of the book of Hebrews, we shall see that the whole book is covered by two things—entering within the veil and going outside the camp. We must enter within the veil and go outside the camp. Within the veil there is one unique place—the Holy of Holies. When we are within the veil, we are within the Holy of Holies. In the Holy of Holies, the unique place, there is one unique thing—the ark of testimony, which is the full symbol of Christ. Inside this unique item are three precious things: the hidden manna, the budding rod, and the law of the testimony, that is, the law of life which issues in God’sex press i on and testimony. This brief word, which opens a very wide field, tells us the meaning of the phrase “within the veil.” To be within the veil is to be in the Holy of Holies, in a realm where we partake of Christ and enjoy the hidden manna, the budding rod, and the law of life which issues in God’s corporate expression. This is the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose
2希伯来十三章十三节说,『这样,我们也当出到营外就了祂去,忍受祂所受的凌辱。』在本书中并在豫表上,营乃是表征属人和属地宗教的组织。出到营外,意思就是出到属人的宗教组织之外。营表征属人的组织,城表征属地的范围。在希伯来书中,城门和营表征犹太宗教,连同其属地和属人的两面。犹太教既属地,又属人。一切宗教都是属人的组织,也是属地的范围,使人远离神的经纶。
2Hebrews 13:13 says, “Let us therefore go forth unto Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.” Both in this book and in typology the camp signifies the organization of religion, which is human and earthly. To go outside the camp means to go outside the human organization of religion. While the camp signifies the human organization, the city signifies the earthly realm. In the book of Hebrews, both the gate and the camp signify the Jewish religion with its two aspects, the earthly and the human. Judaism is both earthly and human. Every religion is both a human organization and an earthly realm which keeps people away from God’secon o my
3一面,神的经纶是在幔内完成;另一面,许多宗教的事乃在营里进行。我们在营中所看见的,不过是宗教的东西。在营中,虽然有许多东西与圣经有关,但神不在那里。在营中,就是在宗教的组织里,没有天使、召会、救主、得救的人、基督、所洒的血等等。那里所有的,乃是烧著火焰的山,产生了黑暗、幽暗,有无定向且不平和的旋风,以及可怕的角声和严厉警告的话语。这就是希伯来书对犹太宗教所描绘的图画。在前面许多篇信息中,我们看见一幅鲜明的图画,一面我们看见在幔内所有的是甚么,另一面也看见在营中属宗教的东西。现在我们都必须选择,到底该在那里─在幔内,或在营中。我们不能中立。
3On the one hand, God’secon o my is being fulfilled within the veil. On the other hand, many religious things are taking place inside the camp. All we can see in the camp are just the religious things. Although many of the things in the camp may be related to the Bible, God is not there. Inside the camp, that is, in the organization of religion, there are no angels, church, Savior, saved ones, Christ, or sprinkled blood. Rather, there is a mountain set on fire producing a thick darkness and gloom, there is a whirlwind which moves without direction or peace, and there is the terrifying sound of a trumpet with the fearful words of warning. This is the picture of the Jewish religion as portrayed in this book. In all the foregoing messages we have seen a very vivid picture of what is within the veil on the one side and of the religious things in the camp on the other side. Now we all must choose where we shall be— within the veil or within the camp. We cannot be neutral.
4希伯来书指示我们,并嘱咐我们,要进前来到至圣所,并进入幔内。进入至圣所这条又新又活的路已经开创了。因此,本书先引我们进入至圣所,以后指引我们要出到营外。按照我们的想法,我们是先出到营外,然后再进入幔内。但这是人的算法。按照神的算法,我们乃是先进入幔内,然后才能出到营外。每一个出到营外的人,都已经先经历了幔内所有的。当你开始来参加召会的聚会时,你可能还没有出到营外。你只是进入幔内,尝尝味道而已。但那味道吸引你,抓住你,也给你力量,使你出到营外。没有人是先出到营外,以后再进入幔内。只有我们的主耶稣,祂是先出到城门外,以后才进入幔内,与我们正好相反。换句话说,我们是先进入至圣所,在里面得著加力,受激励要出到营外,于是我们就出到宗教的组织之外。我们越进入幔内,就越出到营外。
4The book of Hebrews instructs and charges us to come forward to the Holy of Holies and to enter within the veil. The way into the Holy of Holies, a new and living way, has been slain. Hence, this book firstly ushers us into the Holy of Holies and then directs us to go outside the camp. According to our mental figuration, we firstly go outside the camp and then enter within the veil. But this is our human mathematics. According to God’s mathematics, we firstly enter within the veil and only then can we go outside the camp. Everyone who has gone outside the camp has firstly experienced what is within the veil. Perhaps when you began to come to the meetings of the church, you were not yet outside the camp. You were simply coming within the veil to have a taste. But that taste attracted you, caught you, and supplied you with the energy to go outside the camp. No one has firstly gone outside the camp and then entered within the veil. Although the Lord Jesus firstly went outside the gate and then entered within the veil, it is exactly the opposite with us. In other words, firstly we enter into the Holy of Holies, where we are strengthened and encouraged to go outside the camp, and then we go out of the organization of religion. The more we enter within the veil, the more we go outside the camp.
壹 天上的基督是在幔内
I. The Heavenly Christ Within The Veil
5希伯来书先给我们看见,这位在幔内,在至圣所里天上的基督。(六19~。)祂在那里作我们的大祭司、(四,七26、)天上的执事、(八2、)和新约的中保。(八6,九15,十二。)祂作我们的大祭司,在那里为我们代求,并将神一切的丰富,供应到我们里面。祂作天上的执事,为我们尽祂超特的职任;祂也是新约的中保,执行新约所包含的一切内容,作我们的享受。这一切,比祂在肉体里在地上为我们所作的更美。
5The book of Hebrews firstly shows us the heavenly Christ who is within the veil, within the Holy of Holies (6:19-20). He is there as our High Priest (4:14; 7:26), 20 as the heavenly Minister (8:2), and as the Mediator 14 of the new covenant (8:6; 9:15; 12:24). As our High Priest, He is there interceding for us and ministering 24 all the riches of God into us. As the heavenly Minister, He is carrying out His excellent ministry for us, and as the Mediator of the new covenant, He is executing all the contents of the new covenant for our enjoyment. All this is much better than what He did for us on earth while He was in the flesh.
贰 信徒受鼓励进入幔内
II. The Believers Encouraged to Enter Within the Veil
6希伯来书给我们看见幔内天上的基督之后,就鼓励我们要进入幔内。(十~20,22。)在幔内,我们能望断一切以及于祂,(十二2,)并且能思想祂。(十二3,三1。)我们需要直接的接触祂。祂既在幔内,我们也当进到幔内,才能看见祂,注目于祂,并思想祂,好接受祂的灌输和注入。当然,我们惟有运用我们的灵,才能这样作。我们曾看过,我们的灵联于天上的至圣所。当我们转向我们的灵,并运用灵,我们就进入幔内。我们在此有分于天上基督的天上职事。我们在此被一切神圣的丰富所浸透、充满,使我们成为神长子的团体复制,作祂的彰显。我们在此也得著恩典,并得著加力,能以出到营外,跟随祂走十字架的道路。
6After showing us the heavenly Christ within the veil, the book of Hebrews encourages us to enter within the veil (10:19-20, 22). Within the veil, we can look away unto 19 Him (12:2) and can consider Him (12:3; 3:1). We need to have direct contact with Him. Since He is within the veil, we also must enter within the veil that we may see Him, look at Him, and consider Him in order to receive the transfusion and infusion of Him. Of course, we can only do this by exercising our spirit. As we have seen, our spirit is joined to the heavenly Holy of Holies. When we turn to our spirit and exercise it, we enter within the veil. Here we participate in the heavenly ministry of the heavenly Christ. Here we are saturated and permeated with all the divine riches that make us the corporate reproduction of the Firstborn Son of God for His expression. Here we receive grace and are strengthened to go outside the camp and follow Him on the pathway of the cross.
参 信徒受嘱咐出到营外跟随主
III. The Believers Charged To Go Outside The Camp To Follow The Lord
一 摩西迁到营外,寻求主的人都到那里与他同聚
A. Moses Moving outside the Camp Where the Lord’s Seekers Went to Meet with Him
7以色列人拜了金牛犊后,(出三二,)摩西就迁到营外,所有寻求主的人都到那里与他同聚,因为主的同在和说话都在那里。(三三7~。)照样,我们也必须出到营外,离开拜偶像的地方,好享受主的同在,并听见祂的说话。这些都是实行且正当的召会生活所必需的。
7After the children of Israel worshipped the golden calf (Exo. 32), Moses moved “without [outside] the camp,” where everyone who sought the Lord went to meet with him, for both the Lord’s presence and speaking were there (Exo. 33:7-11). Likewise, we must go outside the 11 camp, wherein is the worship of the idol, that we may enjoy the Lord’s presence and hear His speaking. This is necessary for the practical and proper church life.
二 宗教是主所弃绝的营
B. Religion, Being a Camp Given Up by the Lord
8宗教,不论是犹太教、天主教、更正教,都弃绝了主,成为营,成为主所弃绝的属人组织。启示录十七章所题的大巴比伦,成了属世的城,属地的范围,主的子民都应当从其中出来。(十八4。)
8The religion , either Judaism , Catholicism , or Protestantism, which has rejected the Lord, is a camp, a human organization, given up by the Lord. The great Babylon mentioned in Revelation 17 is even a worldly city, an earthly realm, from which the Lord’sp eople must come out (Rev. 18:4
9魔鬼曾把宗教注射到我们的血轮里;因此,营不仅在我们身外,也深深的在我们身内。自从夏娃吃了善恶知识树的果子,宗教就进到人的血轮里。蛇试诱夏娃时,并没有要她犯甚么不道德的罪,乃是以宗教的方式对她说,『神岂是真说,不许你们吃园中所有树上的果子么?』(创三1。)在此我们看见,蛇竟然讲到神。这就是宗教。蛇似乎是说,『夏娃,我知道你和你丈夫都是为著神的。我不是来和你谈属世的娱乐,我要和你谈神的事。』谈论神的事就是宗教的一方面。你知道甚么是宗教?宗教就是仅仅谈论神的事。或许有人说,『大家都谈论神,岂不是很好么?你为甚么定罪他们呢?在宗教里,人受教导来认识神。他们的题目不是淫乱或赌博,而是真神。』虽然如此,创世记三章却启示,宗教开始于蛇对夏娃谈论神。夏娃回答蛇说,『园中树上的果子我们可以吃;惟有园当中那棵树上的果子,神曾说,你们不可吃,也不可摸,免得你们死。』(2~3。)蛇就再说,『你们不一定死,因为神知道,你们吃的日子眼睛就明亮了,你们便如神能知道善恶。』(4~5。)知道善恶也是宗教的事。宗教教导人知道神的事,也教导人知道善恶。最终,夏娃吃了知识树的果子,宗教从此就注入到人的血轮里。
9The Devil has injected religion into our blood. Because of this, the camp is not merely outside of us; it is deep within us. Since the day Eve ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, religion has been in man’s blood. When the serpent tempted Eve, he did not ask her to do anything immoral. Rather, the serpent spoke to her in a religious way, saying, “Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” (Gen. 3:1). Here we see that the serpent even spoke of God. This is religion. The serpent seemed to be saying, “Eve, I know that you and your husband are both for God. I am not here to talk with you about worldly entertainments. I want to talk with you about God.” Talking about God is an aspect of religion. Do you know what religion is? It is the mere talk about God. Some may say, “Isn’t it wonderful that people talk about God? Why do you condemn them for this? In religion people are taught to know God. Their subject is not fornication or gambling; it is the true God.” Nevertheless, as Genesis 3 reveals, religion began with the serpent’s talking to Eve about God. Eve answered the serpent, saying, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die” (Gen. 3:2-3). To this the serpent responded, “Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat there of, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil” (Gen. 3:4-5). Knowing good and evil is also a matter of religion. Religion teaches people to know about God and to know good and evil. Eventually, Eve ate of the tree of knowledge, and religion was injected into man’s blood.
10我们一生下来就是属宗教的,不必别人教导我们宗教的事。因此我们若是以宗教的方式传道,就会到处受欢迎。但我们若以至圣所的方式传福音,人们会喊叫说,『钉他十字架!』就像他们在主耶稣身上所作的一样。因为我们是生在宗教里,长在宗教里,所以宗教不仅在我们的观念里,也在我们这个人里面,在我们的血轮里。我
10There is no need for anyone to be taught religion; we all were born religious. This is the reason that whenever we preach in a religious way we are welcomed. But if we preach the gospel in the way of the Holy of Holies, the people will shout, “Crucify him!” as they did to the Lord Jesus. Because we were born and raised in religion, religion is not only in our concept, but also in our being, in our blood. Day after day we must go outside religion, outside the camp
11们需要天天出到宗教之外,出到营外。
11
12就一面说,宗教和神的经纶非常类似。在旧约和新约圣经里,我们都可以找出许多经节似乎是为著宗教的。但我们必须在圣经的基本启示,就是神的经纶的光中,明白这些经节;神的经纶就是神把祂自己分赐到人里面,为著祂的彰显。神不在意宗教,祂只在意祂的经纶;祂在意将祂自己分赐到人里面。神的目的是要将祂自己作到人里面,但许多基督徒只知道自己的宗教。他们根本不认识神的经纶,也不知道三一神分赐到我们里面是甚么意思。基督教成了宗教,远离了神的经纶。但我们这些在主恢复里的人,并不在意任何宗教的事。我们只在意三一神分赐到我们里面。
12In a sense, religion closely resembles God’secon o my. In both the Old Testament and the New Testament we can find verses which seem to be for religion. But we must understand those verses in the light of the basic revelation of the Bible, which is the economy of God, the dispensing of God into man for His expression. God does not care for religion; He cares for His economy. He is for the dispensing of Himself into man. While God’sin tent i on is to work Himself into man, so many Christians only know their religion. They know nothing of God’secon o my, nor what it means to say that the Triune God is dispensed into our being. Having become a religion, Christianity is far off from God’secon o my. But we in the Lord’s recovery do not care for anything religious. We just care for the dispensing of the Triune God into us
三 出到宗教之外就了耶稣去,忍受祂所受的凌辱
C. Going Forth unto Jesus outside Religion, Bearing His Reproach
13进入幔内,意即进入主已在其中,在荣耀里登宝座的至圣所;出到营外,意即脱离主曾从其中被人弃绝、驱逐的宗教。这表征我们必须在我们的灵里,从经历说,今天实行的至圣所就是在我们的灵里;我们也必须出到宗教之外,今天实行的营就是在宗教里。我们越在灵里享受天上的基督,就越出到宗教的营外,跟随受苦的耶稣。我们在灵里享受得荣的基督,使我们能出到宗教的营外,跟随被弃绝的耶稣。我们越在灵里接触这位在荣耀里天上的基督,就越出到宗教的营外,就了卑微的耶稣去,与祂一同受苦。接触诸天之上的基督,享受祂的得荣,使我们得著加力,在地上走十架窄路,忍受耶稣所受的凌辱。希伯来书首先给我们清楚看见天上的基督和天上的至圣所;然后指示我们,如何在地上走十字架的道路,就是出到宗教的营外,就了耶稣去,忍受祂所受的凌辱。出到营外,就了耶稣去,忍受祂所受的凌辱,就是走十字架的道路。
13To be within the veil is to enter into the Holy of Holies where the Lord is enthroned in glory, and to go outside the camp is to come out of religion, whence the Lord was cast out in rejection. This signifies that we must be in our spirit, where, experientially speaking, the practical Holy of Holies is today, and outside religion, where the practical camp is today. The more we are in our spirit enjoying the heavenly Christ, the more we shall be outside religion following the suffering Jesus. To be in our spirit to enjoy the glorified Christ enables us to come outside religion to follow the rejected Jesus. The more we contact the heavenly Christ in His glory in our spirit, the more we shall go to the lowly Jesus in His suffering outside religion. To contact Christ in the heavens, enjoying His glorification, energizes us to take the narrow pathway of the cross on the earth and to bear His reproach. The book of Hebrews firstly gives us a clear vision of the heavenly Christ and the heavenly Holy of Holies, and then it shows us how to walk the pathway of the cross on the earth, that is, to go forth unto Jesus outside the camp, outside religion, bearing His reproach. To go forth unto Jesus outside the camp, bearing His reproach, is to take the pathway of the cross.
四 至圣所使我们能走
D. The Holy of Holies Enabling Us
十字架的道路,而十字架的道路引我们进入国度
to Take the Pathway of the Cross and the Pathway of the Cross Ushering Us into the Kingdom
14至圣所、十字架的道路(由出到营外,就了耶稣去,忍受祂所受的凌辱所表征)、以及国度,是希伯来书所摆出三件重大的事。至圣所丰富的供应,使我们能走十字架狭窄又艰苦的道路,十字架的道路引我们进入在实现里的国度,得著荣耀的赏赐。我们要进入在实现里的国度,就必须走十字架的道路;要走十字架的道路,就必须进入幔内,进到至圣所。至圣所对我们基督徒的行事为人,极其重要。
14The Holy of Holies, the pathway of the cross (signified by going forth unto Jesus outside the camp, bearing His reproach), and the kingdom are three crucial matters set forth in this book. The Holy of Holies enables us to take the pathway of the cross, and the pathway of the cross ushers us into the kingdom in its manifestation. To enter into the kingdom in its manifestation we need to take the pathway of the cross, and to take the pathway of the cross we need to enter into the Holy of Holies within the veil. The Holy of Holies is crucial to our Christian walk
肆 进入幔内就是
IV. TO ENTER WITHIN THE VEIL
进到我们的灵里
IS TO GET INTO OUR SPIRIT
15我们要进入幔内,必须进到我们的灵里。(四12。)在幔内就是在我们的灵里,出到营外就是出到一切宗教事物之外。我们不可留在任何营内,而必须进到我们的灵里。你若留在宗教的营内,就是在你的灵之外安营。但我们已经不再在营内,我们乃是在至圣所里。作者似乎是对希伯来信徒说,『弟兄们,快从你们心思的营内出来,进到你们的灵里。』今天我们也必须操练,把我们全人带到灵里。我们不可留在心思的营里,因为心思总是属宗教的。我们需要一再藉著进到灵里,而进入幔内。
15If we would enter within the veil, we must get into our spirit (4:12). To be within the veil is to be in our spirit, and to be outside the camp is to be outside anything religious. We must not remain in any camp, but get into our spirit. If you remain in the religious camp, you are still camping outside your spirit. But we are no longer camping—we are in the Holy of Holies. The writer seemed to be telling the Hebrew believers, “Brothers, get out of your camping mind and get into your spirit.” Today we also must exercise to bring our whole being into the spirit. We must not remain in our camping mentality, for that mentality is religious. Again and again we need to enter within the veil by entering into our spirit
16许多基督徒读希伯来书时难以明白,为甚么作者在四章十二节题到灵。他把基督和犹太教比较之后,忽然说,『神的话是活的,是有功效的,比一切两刃的剑更锋利,能以刺入、甚至剖开魂与灵。』现在我们明白,这一节给我们看见经历基督之钥─我们联于至圣所的灵。所以我们必须分辨我们的灵,我们的灵与我们心思的营不同,与我们魂的营不同。我们不可再安营于心思里,而要转到我们的灵里。主耶稣基督是与我们的灵同在,(提后四22,)恩典也是与我们的灵同在。(加六18。)我们曾看过,我们必须接受恩典,但是我们到那里接受恩典?我们必须到我们的灵里。至圣所、神的经纶、甚至神经纶的完成,都与我们的灵有关。我们今天最需要的,就是藉著进到灵里,而进入幔内。
16It is difficult for Christian readers to understand why the writer of Hebrews mentions the spirit in 4:12. As he is comparing Christ with Judaism, he suddenly says, The word of God is living and operative and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit.” Now we understand that this verse shows us the key to experiencing Christ—our spirit which is joined to the Holy of Holies. Therefore, we must discern our spirit from our camping mentality, from our camping soul. We must no longer camp in our mind but turn to our spirit. The Lord Jesus Christ is with our spirit (2 Tim. 4:22). Grace is with our spirit Gal. 6:18). We have seen that we must take grace, but where do we go to take grace? We must go to our spirit. The Holy of Holies, God’secon o my, and even the fulfillment of God’secon o my are all related to our spirit. What we need today is to enter within the veil by getting into the spirit
17假如有些青年的弟兄彼此争执,这是一种野蛮的扎营。但不要以为他们需要甚么宗教人士教导他们循规蹈矩,学习忍耐,而扎宗教的营。那只不过是教导他们在宗教的魂中安营,而不是进入幔内。那些彼此争执的弟兄所需要的,乃是转到他们的灵里。他们一回到灵中并接受恩典,就能尝到基督作隐藏的吗哪,有分于祂作发芽的杖,也经历生命之律的规正。这样,他们就不需要别人教导他们忍耐、卑或让步的功课。神的经纶就是把三一神分赐到我们里面。这要建造基督的身体,产生建造召会的材料。这些都发生在联于我们灵里的幔内至圣所里。这与宗教是何等的不同!我们若这样内里的经历基督,就会发现在我们的血轮中,仍旧存留太多宗教营的元素。我们就自然而然的,恨恶那些宗教元素,厌憎安营于自己。我们都需要进入幔内,使主带我们有这种认识。我们若向著主忠信,逐日逐周进入幔内,就会发现,我们许多的宗教背景,还留在我们里面。有犹太背景的弟兄,会发现犹太宗教的元素还在他们里面;有长老会或南浸信会背景的,会发现那些安营的元素,仍然留在他们的血轮里。以前你可能多次根据你的宗教背景衡量、评估召会生活的情形,用那些安营的元素来比较召会生活。但是我们越多进入幔内,并接受天上基督的灌输和注入,就越会说,『宗教背景阿,离开我去罢!』然而,即使我们以为自己里面安营的元素已经去掉得差不多了,仍然会有一些依附著我们。因此,我们还要继续不断的进入幔内,并出到营外。
17Suppose some young brothers are fighting with one another. This is a type of wild camping. But do not think they need some religious ones to tell them to be have themselves, to learn patience, and to camp religiously. That would merely be to teach them how to camp in their religious soul. This is not to enter within the veil. The brothers who are fighting with one another need to turn to their spirit. Once they turn to the spirit and take grace, they will taste Christ as their hidden manna, partake of Him as the budding rod, and experience the regulating of the law of life. Then they will not need anyone to teach them patience, humility, or the lesson of giving in. God’secon o my is the dispensation of the Triune God into our being. This builds up the Body of Christ, producing material for the building up of the church. This transpires in the Holy of Holies within the veil, which is joined to our spirit. What a difference between this and religion! If we experience Christ in such an inner way, we shall see how much of the religious camping element is still in our blood. Spontaneously, we shall begin to hate this religious element and loathe our camping self. We all need to enter within the veil that the Lord may bring us into such a realization. If we are faithful to the Lord and enter within the veil day after day and week after week, we shall discover that much of our religious background still remains within us. The brothers with a Jewish background will find that the Jewish religious element is still in them, and those with a Presbyterian or Southern Baptist background will discover that those camping elements remain in their blood. Many times in the past you have probably measured or estimated the condition of the church life by your religious background, comparing the church life with that camping element. But the more we enter within the veil and are transfused and infused with the heavenly Christ, the more we shall say, “Religious background, get away from me!” Nevertheless, although it seems that we have cast out the camping element, some of it still clings to us. Therefore, we need to continue to enter within the veil and go outside the camp.
18有一种很难处理的安营元素,就是说方言这件事。有说方言背景的人,经常问说,『在召会里有没有说方言?对此你们怎样看待?你们认为这是无用的么?』你可能也曾多次问过这样的问题。我们的宗教背景,是何等难以除去!我不是在定罪说方言。只要是为著神的经纶,为著让三一神将祂自己分赐到我们里面,以建造基督的身体,我们都赞同。我们不是为著任何一种宗教,不是为著基要派、五旬节派,也不是为著灵恩派。我们只为著一件事,就是让三一神分赐到我们里面,使我们变化并建造在一起,作祂团体的彰显,好结束这世代,而带进国度。这事得以成功,完全在于我们进入幔内,经历神见证的柜,和柜内隐藏的吗哪、发芽的杖、并生命之律。藉著经历这些,我们就被注入,得加强,有能力,能以出到一切的营外。在这些关于希伯来书的信息中,我真实的负担就是要我们都进入幔内,出到营外。这是本书的目标,和最终的结论。我们藉著进到灵里而进入幔内,就尝到这位天上基督的甜美,使我们能出到营外,丢弃地和属地的爱。当我们留在幔内,我们的灵也就充满天上基督的荣耀,使我们的心得释放,脱离营外属地享受的霸占。不仅如此,我们在幔内观看得荣耀的基督,就能吸引我们出到营外,跟随受苦的耶稣。我们见过祂在天上的面容,就使我们能追随祂在地上的脚踪。我们进入幔内,就被祂的复活大能所注入,(腓三10,)使我们得以被加强,出到营外,走十字架的道路。我们也有分于天上基督的职事,使我们得著装备,能将祂供应给营外干渴的灵。我们在此享受主的上好,使我们得著丰富,能出到营外,应付人的需要。
18A very touchy camping element is the matter of tongue speaking. Those who have had a tongue-speaking background often ask, “What about tongue speaking in the church? Where do you put this? Do you think that it is useless?” Perhaps you have asked such questions many times. How difficult it is to leave our religious background! I am not condemning tongue speaking. We are for anything that is for God’secon o my, for the dispensing of the Triune God into us for the building up of the Body of Christ. We are not for any kind of religion, whether it is fundamental, Pentecostal, or charismatic. We are for just one thing—the dispensation of the Triune God into our being that we might be transformed and built together as His corporate expression and that we might terminate this age and usher in the kingdom. This can only be accomplished by our entering within the veil to experience the ark of God’s testimony with the hidden manna, the budding rod, and the law of life. By experiencing these things, we are infused, empowered, strengthened, and enabled to go outside of every camp. My real burden in all these messages on Hebrews is that we may all enter within the veil and go outside the camp. This is the goal and the ultimate conclusion of this book. When we enter within the veil by getting into our spirit, we taste the sweetness of the heavenly Christ that we may be enabled to go outside the camp, forsaking the earth and its love. As we stay within the veil, we also have our spirit filled with the glory of the heavenly Christ that our heart may be freed from the possession of the earth’s enjoyment outside the camp. Furthermore, within the veil we behold the glorified Christ that we may be attracted to follow the suffering Jesus outside the camp. Beholding His countenance in heaven enables us to trace His footsteps on earth. As we enter within the veil, we are infused with resurrection power (Phil. 3:10) that we may be empowered to walk the pathway of the cross outside the camp. We also participate in the ministry of the heavenly Christ that we may be equipped to minister Him to the thirsty spirits outside the camp. Here we enjoy the Lord’s best that we may be enriched to meet the needs of people outside the camp
