金罐里的吗哪

THE MANNA IN THE GOLDEN POT
1在上一篇信息里，我们对吗哪有了基础的认识。本篇信息我们要来看隐藏的吗哪，就是金罐里的吗哪。
1In the last message we laid the foundation for knowing the manna. In this message we need to consider the hidden manna, the manna in the golden pot
神关于吗哪的吩咐
GOD’S COMMANDMENT REGARDING THE MANNA
2隐藏的吗哪这个辞，是用于启示录二章十七节，在那里主耶稣说，『得胜的，我必将那隐藏的吗哪赐给他。』这话是对堕落、属世的别迦摩召会说的。凡胜过堕落基督教的，主必将隐藏的吗哪赐给他。启示录所题的每一样东西，包括吗哪，几乎都可在旧约找到。关于吗哪，出埃及十六章三十二至三十三节说，『摩西说，耶和华所吩咐的是这样；要将一满俄梅珥吗哪留到世世代代，使后人可以看见我当日将你们领出埃及地，在旷野所给你们吃的食物。摩西对亚伦说，你拿一个罐子，盛一满俄梅珥吗哪，存在耶和华面前，要留到世世代代。』主吩咐将一俄梅珥吗哪盛在罐内。一俄梅珥是『伊法十分之一』。（36。）一伊法是一个完整的单位，一俄梅珥是一个单位的十分之一。要将这小部分盛在罐内，放在见证前存留。（34─法柜，直译，见证。）在出埃及记，见证是指放在约柜内的两块法版。那一俄梅珥吗哪放在见证前，意思是十分靠近约柜。这部分的吗哪成了隐藏的吗哪。吗哪是从天降下，从神而来的，作神给祂百姓的礼物。这不是短暂的礼物，乃是维持了四十年的礼物。每天早晨，这礼物从天降下，𫗪养以色列人，使他们饱足。他们饱足以后，神似乎说，『你们要把所享受的拿出一俄梅珥，放在我面前作为见证，好题醒后来的世代，你们在旷野飘流的时候，曾经享受这属天的食物。』公开的吗哪，就是百姓的分，乃是从神来的；隐藏的吗哪，是神的分，乃是奉还给神的。
2The term hidden manna is used in Revelation 2:17, where the Lord Jesus says, “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna.” This word was spoken to the church in Pergamos, a degraded, worldly church. If anyone overcomes degraded Christianity, the Lord will give him the hidden manna. Nearly everything mentioned in the book of Revelation, including the manna, can be found in the Old Testament. Exodus 16:32 and 33, referring to the manna, say, “Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt. And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.” The Lord commanded that an omer of manna be put into a pot. An omer is “the tenth part of an ephah” (Exo. 16:36). An ephah is a complete unit, and an omer is one tenth of a unit. This small portion was put into a pot and laid up before the testimony to be kept (Exo. 16:34). In Exodus, the testimony means the two tables of the law which were put into the ark. The omer of manna was put in front of the testimony, meaning that it was quite close to the ark. This portion of the manna became the hidden manna. Manna came from heaven, from God, as a gift to His people. It was not a temporary gift; it was a gift lasting for forty years. Morning after morning, this gift came down from heaven to feed and satisfy the children of Israel. After they had been satisfied, God seemed to say, “Take an omer of what you have enjoyed and put it before Me as a testimony and a reminder that the coming generations may be reminded that you enjoyed this heavenly food as you wandered in the wilderness.” The open manna, the people’sport i on, came from God, and the hidden manna, God’sport i on, was offered back to God
3美地出产的十分之一现在我们要来看十分取一之例，这是从出产中取十分之一的基本观念。以色列人必须把他们在美地出产中上好的分，拿出顶尖的十分之一，献上给神。（申十四22～23。）一切的出产都是从神来的。神命定以色列人，要从神所给的出产中，取十分之一奉还给祂。出产的大部分是为著百姓的，但其中十分之一要献上给神，作神的分。这奉献给神的十分之一，要归给祭司和利未人。（民十八21。）祭司和利未人又要从所得的这十分之一中，取十分之一献给神；而这十分之一中的十分之一，要归给在至圣所供职的大祭司。（26，28～29。）我重复一次：以色列人献上他们出产的十分之一给神，作神的分。这些献上给神之后，就归给服事的人，就是侍候帐幕的祭司和利未人。然后，祭司和利未人就从这上好的十分之一中，再取十分之一献给神。这一分就归给在至圣所供职的大祭司。在外院子事奉的利未人，和在外院与圣所供职的祭司，只能享受以色列人献上的十分之一。惟有在至圣所事奉的大祭司，有权享受十分之一中的十分之一，就是美地出产中拔尖的分。因此，我们越事奉，就越能享受拔尖的分，就是神的分。
3THE TITHE OF THE PRODUCE OF THE LAND Now we need to consider the tithe, the basic concept of one tenth of the produce. The children of Israel were required to take the top tenth, the choicest portion of their produce in the good land, and offer it to God (Deut. 14:22-23). All the produce came from God. God ordained that one tenth of the produce which He had given the children of Israel be offered back to Him. The majority of the produce was for the people, but the tithe was offered to God as His portion. The tithe which was offered to God went to the priests and the Levites (Num. 18:21) who in turn took a tenth of the tithe they received and offered it to God. This tenth of the tenth went to the high priest who ministered in the Holy of Holies (Num. 18:26, 28-29). I repeat, the children of Israel offered one tenth of their produce to God as His portion. After this had been offered to God, it was given to the serving ones, to the priests and Levites who served the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites then took one tenth of this top tenth and offered it to God. It was then given to the high priest who ministered in the Holy of Holies. The Levites who served in the outer court and the priests who served in the outer court and in the Holy Place could only enjoy the tenth offered by the children of Israel. Only the high priest who served in the Holy of Holies was privileged to enjoy the tenth of the tenth, the topmost portion of the produce of the good land. Thus, the more we serve, the more we shall enjoy the topmost portion, God’sport i on.
隐藏的吗哪是神的分
THE HIDDEN MANNA BEING GOD’SPORT I ON
4当以色列人在旷野飘流时，神每日（安息日除外）从天上赐给他们吗哪。他们都享受了所赐的这吗哪。然后神似乎说，『从我所给你们的吗哪中取一伊法的十分之一，放在我的见证前。』这一分吗哪是为著神的。公开的吗哪是百姓的分，但隐藏在罐内，放在神见证前的吗哪，是献上的，乃是神的分。以色列人进入美地后，把出产之物献上，也是同样的原则。他们一进入美地，神就不再从天上降下吗哪，因为美地供应了他们生活的一切所需。因此，他们不再收取吗哪，而收割美地的出产。关于这事，神好像是说，『你们从收割的一切出产中，取十分之一献给我，作为我的分。』以色列人就这样作，将这十分之一给在帐幕里外事奉的祭司和利未人。然后神吩咐众祭司和利未人，从他们向百姓收取之物中，再取十分之一献给神。这一分，可称为顶尖的一分，要归给大祭司作他的分。只有在至圣所供职的大祭司，才有权享受这顶尖的部分。
4When the children of Israel were wandering in the wilderness, God gave them manna from heaven as a gift every day (except the Sabbath day). They all enjoyed this gift of manna. Then God seemed to say, “Take a portion, one tenth of an ephah, of the manna I have given you and place it before My testimony.” This portion of the manna was for God. The open manna was the people’sport i on, and this offered, hidden manna in the pot before God’s testimony was God’sport i on. The principle was the same with offering the produce after the children of Israel had entered into the good land. Once they were in the land, God no longer sent manna from heaven, for the good land provided all that was needed for their living. Thus, instead of gathering the manna, they harvested the produce of the good land. Regarding this, God seemed to say, “Give Me as My portion a tenth of all the produce you have harvested.” The children of Israel did so, giving this one tenth to the priests and the Levites who served in and around the tabernacle. Then God told the priests and the Levites to take one tenth of what they received from the people and offer it to God. This portion, which we may call the top of the top, was then given to the high priest as his portion. Only the high priest, the one serving in the Holy of Holies, was privileged to enjoy this topmost portion.
5根据这个原则，我们看见隐藏的吗哪乃是神的分。隐藏吗哪的基本观念，乃指这是神的分。以前我每逢读到出埃及十六章三十六节说，『俄梅珥乃伊法十分之一』的时候，我都不明白，认为这一句是多余的，摩西不该加上这一句。我也不明白把一俄梅珥吗哪放在罐内，存在神的见证前，有甚么意义。但就在最近，主光照我，给我看见十分之一是上好的一分，是给神的分。吗哪表征神所赐给我们，作为恩赐的基督。我们享受基督作吗哪时，必须把最好的一分献给神，就是把基督献给神。我们若要吃隐藏的吗哪，就必须先吃公开的吗哪。如果我们没有经历过公开的吗哪，就不会有隐藏的吗哪献给神。隐藏的吗哪就是我们所经历、享受，然后献给神的吗哪。至终，因为我们与神这么亲密，祂就说，『来，进入我的筵宴所，与我一同坐席。』你若从来没有享受过基督作公开的吗哪，就不要以为能在突然之间享受祂作你隐藏的吗哪。不，隐藏的吗哪乃是出于我们对公开的吗哪的享受。我们享受吗哪，并从所享受的吗哪中，将一小部分献给神，说，『神阿，我将所享受的基督献给你。你已将基督赐给我作我的分。现在我将祂最好的部分献给你，作为你的分。』对此神要说，『孩子，进入我的至圣所，与我一同享受这一分。』这就是隐藏的吗哪。我们来看我们的经历。当我们一般的享受基督作我们每天的供应，我们就自然的愿意将所享受的基督再献给神，说，『神阿，你把基督赐给我，为此我何等感谢你。我已经享受祂这么多，现在我要将祂上好的一分献给你。』这就是一俄梅珥吗哪，也就是奉还给神上好部分的吗哪。这一分不是给神所有的百姓的；乃是只给那些在至圣所里亲密事奉祂的人的。这就是隐藏的吗哪，出于我们一般享受的吗哪。
5Based upon this principle, we see that the hidden manna is the portion for God. The basic concept of the hidden manna is that it is God’s port i on. In the past, I was troubled whenever I read Exodus 16:36, which says, “Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.” I thought that this verse was unnecessary and wondered why Moses included it. I could not understand the significance of an omer of manna being placed in a pot and put in front of the testimony of God. But just recently the Lord enlightened me about this, and I saw that the tenth is the choice portion, the portion for God. Manna signifies Christ whom God has given to us as a gift. While we are enjoying Christ as our manna, we must take the best portion and offer it to God, offering Christ to God. If we would eat the hidden manna, we must firstly eat the open manna. If we do not experience the open manna, we shall have no manna to offer God as the hidden manna. The hidden manna is the very manna which we experience, enjoy, and then offer to God. Eventually, because we are so intimate with God, He will say, “Come into My dining room and dine with Me.” Do not think that you will suddenly enjoy Christ as your hidden manna if you have never enjoyed Him as your open manna. No, the hidden manna comes out of our enjoyment of the open manna. We enjoy manna and, out of the manna we enjoy, we offer a small portion to God, saying, “God, I offer to You the very Christ whom I have been enjoying. You have given Christ to me as my portion, and now I give the best of Him to You as Your portion.” To this God will say, “Child, come into My Holy of Holies and enjoy this portion with Me.” This is the hidden manna. Let us consider our experience. When we enjoy Christ in a general way as our daily supply, we spontaneously desire to offer the very Christ whom we have enjoyed back to God, saying, “O God, how I thank You for the Christ whom You have given me. I have enjoyed Him very much. Now I would like to offer the best portion of Him to You.” This is the omer of manna, the choice portion of the manna which is offered back to God. This portion is not for all of God’sp eople; it is only for those who serve Him in a very intimate way in the Holy of Holies. This is the hidden manna, which comes out of the manna we enjoy in a general way.
6我再说，神已将基督赐给我们作食物。当我们享受祂作食物时，我们就感谢著再将祂献给神。这样，基督就成为我们所享受的上好部分，由我们把祂献给神，作神的分。神喜悦并接纳这一分，说，『现在你既与我同在至圣所里，而不是在外院子或圣所里事奉，我要用你所献给我的款待你。我要你与我一同享受基督上好的部分。』这是何等的美好！这非常符合我们的经历和圣经全部的启示，也与启示录二章十七节相合。享受基督作我们隐藏的吗哪，不是突然的经历，在背后必定有一段历史。
6Again I say that God has given us Christ as our food. As we enjoy Him as food, we gratefully offer Him back to God. In this way Christ becomes the choice portion of our enjoyment which we offer to God as His portion. God is pleased with this, accepts it, and says, “Since you are now with Me in the Holy of Holies, not serving Me in the outer court or in the Holy Place, I would like to serve you with what you have offered to Me. I ask you to enjoy the choicest portion of Christ with Me.” How wonderful this is! It closely matches both our experience and the whole revelation of the Bible and fits in with Revelation 2:17. Enjoying Christ as our hidden manna is not a sudden experience; it must have a history behind it.
隐藏在好几层里
HIDDEN BENEATH SEVERAL LAYERS
7隐藏的吗哪，最少藏在四层里。在以色列人中间有帐幕，在帐幕里有至圣所，在至圣所里有约柜，在约柜里还有金罐。任何人要享受隐藏的吗哪，首先必须在以色列人中间。其次，他必须进入帐幕。然后，他必须进入至圣所。他还必须进入其中有金罐的约柜，金罐内才是隐藏的吗哪。我们把这事应用到今天的情形，就看见在召会生活以外，是不可能享受隐藏吗哪的。在召会生活中，我们有各样的事奉小组。但这些事奉小组，只不过是外院子利未人的事奉。然而，藉著这外院子的事奉，就把我们带进圣所。经过圣所，就进到至圣所。我们许多人都能见证，在加入事奉小组以前，我们是在街上，还没有进入外院子。但是当我们与别人一同事奉时，我们就感觉到是在圣所里享受基督。藉著这样的享受，我们就进入其中有隐藏吗哪的至圣所。
7The hidden manna was hidden under at least four layers. Among the children of Israel was the tabernacle, within the tabernacle was the Holy of Holies, within the Holy of Holies was the ark, and within the ark was the golden pot. Anyone who wanted to enjoy the hidden manna firstly had to be among the children of Israel. Secondly, he had to enter into the tabernacle. Then he had to enter into the Holy of Holies. After that, he had to get into the ark containing the golden pot in which was the hidden manna. Applying this to our situation today, we see that outside the church life it is impossible to enjoy the hidden manna. In the church life we have the various service groups. But these service groups, being the Levitical service, are only in the outer court. Nevertheless, by this outer court service, we are ushered into the Holy Place. Through the Holy Place we enter into the Holy of Holies. As many of us can testify, before we joined a service group, we were not even in the outer court; we were on the street. But as we serve with others, we have the sense that we are in the Holy Place enjoying Christ. Through this enjoyment we enter into the Holy of Holies where the hidden manna is
在帐幕里吃的三个阶段
THREE STAGES OF EATING IN THE TABERNACLE
8在帐幕里，有三个吃的阶段：在祭坛周围吃祭物，在圣所里吃陈设饼，以及在至圣所里吃金罐里隐藏的吗哪。在祭坛享受基督，引我们进入圣所，在那里我们更细致的享受祂。桌子上的陈设饼，比祭坛上的祭牲更细致。这不是仅仅道理，乃是可以从我们的经历上得著证明的。我们享受基督作陈设饼之后，又经历到一些不同的东西，说，『现在我是在至圣所里，吃一些我从来没有经历过的东西。』这就是隐藏的吗哪。
8In the tabernacle there are three stages of eating: eating the sacrifices around the altar, eating the showbread in the Holy Place, and eating the hidden manna in the golden pot in the Holy of Holies. Enjoying Christ at the altar ushers us into the Holy Place, where we enjoy Him in a finer way. The showbread on the table is much finer than the sacrifices on the altar. This is not merely a doctrine; it can be proved by our experience. As we enjoy Christ as our showbread, we experience something still different and say, “I am in the Holy of Holies eating something which I have never experienced before.” This is the hidden manna
举祭
the heave offering
9旧约中有两种特别的祭：表征复活基督的摇祭，以及表征高举、升天之基督的举祭。（出二九26～28。）献给神而归给亚伦的十分之一中的十分之一，乃是举祭。（民十八28。）当我们在外院子和圣所里经历了基督，我们就不仅享受作摇祭的基督，也享受作举祭的基督；我们不仅享受复活的基督，也享受高举、升天的基督。这意思是说，最终我们要在至圣所里，享受隐藏在神里那特别的一分基督。
9In the Old Testament there were two special offerings— the wave offering signifying the resurrected Christ and the heave offering signifying the uplifted, ascended Christ (Exo. 29:26-28). The tenth of the tenth which was offered to God for Aaron was a heave offering (Num. 18:28). As we experience Christ in the outer court and in the Holy Place, we enjoy not only the wave Christ but also the heave Christ, not only the resurrected Christ, but also the uplifted, exalted Christ. This means that eventually we shall be in the Holy of Holies enjoying the special portion of Christ hidden in God.
隐藏在神的性情里
HIDDEN IN THE DIVINE NATURE
10我们看过，启示录二章十七节说，主要将那隐藏的吗哪赐给得胜者吃。歌罗西三章三节说，我们的生命与基督一同藏在神里面。基督乃是隐藏在神里面的。启示录二章十七节所说隐藏的吗哪，是藏在金罐内。（来九4。）在圣经里，金表征神的性情。因此，隐藏的吗哪盛在金罐里，表征最好的一分基督，是隐藏在神的性情里。神的性情是在约柜里，而我们看见，约柜就是基督。这约柜今天是在我们的灵里，我们的灵又联于至圣所。我们的灵里有至圣所，至圣所里有基督，就是约柜；基督里有金罐，就是神的性情。在神这性情里，乃是隐藏的吗哪。隐藏的吗哪是甚么？就是基督作了隐藏在神性情里，所给我们的特别一分食物。当我们在一个地方摸著金罐，我们就必定脱离了世界、自己、和我们天然的人。我们摸著了神的性情，在神这性情里，我们就有分于隐藏的吗哪。
10We have seen that Revelation 2:17 says that the Lord will give the overcomers to eat of the hidden manna. Colossians 3:3 says that our life is hid with Christ in God. Christ is hidden in God. The hidden manna mentioned in Revelation 2:17 was hidden in a golden pot (Heb. 9:4). In the Bible, gold signifies the divine nature. Hence, the hidden manna in the golden pot signifies the topmost portion of Christ hidden within the divine nature. The divine nature is in the ark, and, as we have seen, the ark is just Christ. This ark today is in our spirit, which is joined to the Holy of Holies. In our spirit we have the Holy of Holies, in the Holy of Holies we have Christ, the ark, and within Christ we have the golden pot, the divine nature. Here, within the divine nature, is the hidden manna. What is the hidden manna? It is Christ as our special portion of food hidden in the divine nature. When we are in the place where we touch the golden pot, we are absolutely outside the world, our self, and our natural man. We are touching the divine nature, and in the divine nature we partake of the hidden manna
11请你对照一下你自己的经历。你加入一个事奉小组之后，就更多被带进召会生活里，并且开始经历一些更细致的东西。最终，你就接近神，与祂更亲密。有时，你与神亲近到一个地步，越过了世界、自己、甚至你天然的人。在神的性情里，你成了另一个人。当你摸著神的性情，你就摸著金罐，并享受隐藏在其中的吗哪，享受基督作隐藏在神性情里的一分。我们将会看见，发芽的杖是在隐藏的吗哪之后，而生命之律又随著发芽的杖。约柜的这三项重要的内容，是按著这个次序排列的。首先，我们必须享受隐藏的吗哪。然后，因著对隐藏吗哪的享受，我们的杖就发芽；再后，我们就有生命的律。因为很少基督徒经历隐藏的吗哪，所以他们的杖就不发芽；我们也很难找到一个人是凭生命之律而活。他们不明白圣经所记载，关于隐藏的吗哪、发芽的杖、和生命之律的事，因为他们缺少经历。然而，在主的恢复中，这一切的丰富，都在我们中间恢复了。
11I ask you to check with your experience. After joining a service group, you were ushered into more of the church life and you began to experience something finer. Eventually, you were close to God and became intimate with Him. On some occasions, you were so close to God that you were beyond the world, your self, and even your natural being. You were another person with God in His nature. As you touched the divine nature, you touched the golden pot and enjoyed the manna hidden within it, enjoying Christ as your hidden portion in the divine nature. As we shall see, the budding rod comes after the hidden manna, and the law of life follows the budding rod. These three crucial items, the contents of the ark, are arranged 舉 祭 in such a sequence. Firstly, we must enjoy the hidden manna. Then out of our enjoyment of the hidden manna our rod will bud, and after that we shall have the law of life. Because so few Christians experience the hidden manna, their rod does not bud, and we very rarely find one who lives by the law of life. They do not understand the record in the Bible concerning the hidden manna, the budding rod, and the law of life because they lack experience. However, in the Lord’s recovery, all these riches are being recovered among us
12当我们有分于隐藏的吗哪时，我们就不是经历祭坛上的基督，也不是有分于陈设饼桌上的基督；我们乃是享受在约柜里金罐内的基督。在这里，我们完全越过世界和一切的环境，越过我们自己和天然的人，摸著并有分于神的性情。彼后一章四节说，『祂已将又宝贵又极大的应许赐给我们，叫你们…藉著这些应许，得有分于神的性情。』除非我们摸著金罐，不然就难以有分于神的性情。神的性情是在约柜内的金罐这里。在金罐里，就是在神的性情里，才有隐藏的吗哪作特别的一分，给我们享受。在这里，我们享受隐藏的基督，祂与我们一同藏在神里面，我们也与祂一同藏在神里面。隐藏在神里面的基督就是隐藏在金罐里的吗哪。在这里，基督是隐藏的吗哪；在这里，我们也与祂一同藏在神的性情里。我们若在旷野，远离帐幕之外，因著神的怜悯，我们仍然可以享受公开的吗哪作为在旷野里正常的经历。但这种经历太肤浅、太表面、差得太远了。神要我们进入至圣所摸著金罐，亲密的靠近祂。隐藏的基督这属天隐藏的吗哪，就在这里，在神的性情里。我们在别的地方找不到祂。今天神的性情就在我们灵里。虽然我们有了金罐，但问题是我们时常远离我们的灵。你要从灵里出来，不必和别人争执、争辩；甚至你与弟兄们开玩笑时，你已经不在灵里了。热心宗教，与在灵里也是大不相同。热心宗教也会将我们带到旷野。金罐是在约柜里，约柜是在至圣所里，至圣所又联于我们的灵。我喜欢那首诗歌说：
12When we partake of the hidden manna, we are not experiencing a Christ on the altar, nor are we partaking of a Christ on the showbread table. We are enjoying a Christ who is in the golden pot within the ark. Here we are beyond the world and every situation. We are beyond ourselves and our natural being, touching the divine nature and partaking of it. Second Peter 1:4 says, “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature.” Unless we touch the golden pot, it will be difficult for us to partake of the divine nature. The divine nature is here with the golden pot in the ark. In the golden pot, that is, in the divine nature, there is the hidden manna as the special portion for our enjoyment. It is here that we enjoy the hidden Christ, the Christ who is hid in God with us and the Christ with whom we are hid in God. The Christ hidden in God is the manna hidden in the golden pot. Here Christ is the hidden manna, and here we also are hidden with Him in the divine nature. If we are in the wilderness far off from the tabernacle, we can, by God’s mercy, still enjoy the open manna as a normal experience in the wilderness. But this is too shallow, too outward, and too far off. God wants us to enter into the Holy of Holies and to be so intimate and close to Him, touching the golden pot. The hidden Christ as the heavenly hidden manna is here in God’s divine nature. We cannot find Him in any other place. Today God’s divine nature is in our spirit. Although we have the golden pot, the problem is that often we are far off from our spirit. You need not be quarreling or fighting with others in order to be out of the spirit. Even when you joke with the brothers you are outside the spirit. Also being religious is much different from being in the spirit. By being religious we are carried out to the wilderness. The golden pot is in the ark, and the ark is in the Holy of Holies, and the Holy of Holies is joined to our spirit. I like the hymn which says
越摸越深越丰富，摸著深处的基督：
In my spirit deeper still I would touch the Lord I love
13摸著生命的律法，摸著隐藏的吗哪。（诗歌五五六首，第五节。）
13Touch Him in His hidden depth And His hidden manna prove.
14在至圣所里有基督，祂是神的约柜，其内有金罐。这位基督包含著神的性情并盛装著隐藏的吗哪，因为隐藏的基督是在神的性情里。我们要摸著这一分特别的、拔尖的基督，就必须摸著神的性情。原则上，凡享受这一分的人，都是在至圣所里。
14Within the Holy of Holies is the very Christ who is the ark of God containing the golden pot. This Christ comprises the divine nature and contains the hidden manna, for the hidden Christ is within the divine nature. In order to touch this special portion, this topmost portion, of Christ, we must touch the divine nature. In principle, everyone who enjoys this portion is in the Holy of Holies.
15进入至圣所的人，都是与大祭司在一起。我们的大祭司基督，是在至圣所里，我们也必须在那里。我们不要只在外院或圣所里作祭司，必须也在至圣所金罐那里作祭司。我们若要在这地方，就必须越过世界和各种的环境，也必须不受别人的搅扰。有时候，我们会因别人一两句不好听的话而被得罪。有些人受搅扰到一个地步，甚至几个月不能安睡。我们若这样受搅扰，就是远离了我们的灵，而难以留在至圣所里。当我们越过一切的环境，无论好的或坏的，愉快的或不愉快的，我们就是在灵里摸著了约柜和金罐。我再说，在这金罐里有隐藏的吗哪，就是隐藏的基督，作我们特别的分。我们若要有分于隐藏的吗哪，就必须不断的在灵里摸著神的性情。愿我们都往前，进到这种经历里。
15Everyone who enters into the Holy of Holies is with the High Priest. Christ, our High Priest, is in the Holy of Holies, and we also must be there. We must not only be the priests in the outer court or in the Holy Place; we must also be the priests where the golden pot is—in the Holy of Holies. If we would be in this place, we must be beyond the world and every kind of situation. We must be beyond being bothered by people. Sometimes we are offended by a small, unpleasant word. Some are troubled to such an extent that they cannot sleep well for months. If we are troubled in this way, we are far off from our spirit, and thus it will be difficult for us to be in the Holy of Holies. When we are beyond all situations, good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant, then we are in our spirit touching the ark and the golden pot. I say again that in this golden pot is the hidden manna, the hidden Christ, as our special portion. If we would partake of the hidden manna, we must constantly be in our spirit touching the divine nature. May we all go on and enter into this experience
