第三篇 帐幕的实际(一)
Message Three The Reality of the Tabernacle (1)
壹 基督是帐幕的实际:
I. Christ being the reality of the tabernacle:
一 旧约的帐幕是真帐幕的预表,这真帐幕乃是在肉体里的基督自己─出二五8,约一14
A. The Old Testament tabernacle being a type of the real tabernacle, which was Christ Himself in the flesh—Exo. 25:8; John 1:14.
二 在肉体里的基督是将神带给人的帐幕,使人能够享受祂。
B. Christ in the flesh being the tabernacle that brought God to man so that man might enjoy Him.
三 神借着成为肉体成为人,将祂自己与人性调和,并成为祂自己的居所
C. Through incarnation God becoming a man, mingling Himself with humanity, and becoming His own dwelling place.
四 金和皂荚木分别表征基督的神性与人性:
D. The gold and the acacia wood signifying respectively the divine nature and human nature of Christ:
1 从圣灵所生,有神的性情─路一35,太一20
1. Begotten of the Holy Spirit, having the nature of God—Luke 1:35; Matt. 1:20.
2 由童女所声,有人的性情─路一27,31
2. Born of a human virgin, having the nature of man—Luke 1:27, 31.
3 由神起名为耶稣,人称祂为以马内利─太一20,23
3. Being named Jesus by God and Emmanuel by man—Matt. 1:20, 23.
五 基督作帐幕,是神具体的化身:
E. Christ as the tabernacle being God's embodiment:
1 神的丰满具体化于帐幕,使人得以进入神,并享受祂。
1. The fullness of God being embodied in the tabernacle so that man might enter into God and enjoy Him.
2 神具体化于可进入的帐幕,指明神是可以进入的。
2. God being embodied in an enterable tabernacle indicating that God is enterable.
六 基督作帐幕,是三一神与三部分人的合并:
F. Christ as the tabernacle being the incorporation of the Triune God with the tripartite man:
1 神在祂神圣的三一里,从已过的永远就是合并的─约十四10~12
1. God in His Divine Trinity being incorporated from eternity past—John 14:10-11.
2 借着成为肉体,这神圣的合并被带进人性里
2. Through incarnation this divine incorporation being brought into humanity.
贰 召会是那作神团体居所预表之帐幕的实际:
II. The church being the reality of the tabernacle as a type of the corporate dwelling place of God:
一 个人的帐幕基督,借着祂的死与复活,得以扩大,成为团体的帐幕,就是召会,活神的家─约二19,21,提前三15~16:
A. Christ, the individual tabernacle, being enlarged through His death and resurrection to become the corporate tabernacle, the church, the house of the living God—John 2:19, 21; 1 Tim. 3:15-16:
1 第一个帐幕(殿),在基督钉十字架时被拆毁
1. The first tabernacle (temple) being destroyed when Christ was crucified.
2 在复活中,神的儿子(祂自己就是复活)不懂叫自己复活,也叫所有信祂的人复活,以产生扩大、团体的帐幕,由神的长子基督和众子信徒所组成─罗一3~4,八29
2. In resurrection the Son of God, who Himself is resurrection, raising up not only Himself but also all His believers to produce the enlarged, corporate tabernacle composed of Christ as the firstborn Son of God and the believers as the many sons—Rom. 1:3-4; 8:29.
3 [神的居所(帐幕),实际上乃是一个相互的居所、相互的住处。这个住处是神的居所,也是服事神之人的居所。最终,神住在祂的子民里面,祂的子民也住在祂里面。这意思是说,在相互的居所里,有相互的居住。这一个奇妙的居所就是全宇宙的中心和实际。]([约翰著作中帐幕和祭物的应验]第四一一页。)
3. The tabernacle as God's dwelling place is actually a mutual dwelling place, a mutual abode. This abode is God's dwelling and also the dwelling of God's serving ones. Eventually, God dwells in His people, and His people dwells in Him. This means there is a mutual dwelling in a mutual dwelling place. Such a wonderful dwelling place is the center and reality of the entire universe (The Fulfillment of the Tabernacle and the Offerings in the Writings of John, p. 338).
二 召会是基督的继续,作神在肉体里的显现─提前三15~16:
B. The church being the continuation of Christ as the manifestation of God in the flesh—1 Tim. 3:15-16:
1 个人的帐幕基督,是神在肉体里个人的显现。
1. Christ, the individual tabernacle, being the individual manifestation of God in the flesh.
2 团体的帐幕召会,是神在肉体里团体的显现。
2. The church, the corporate tabernacle, being the corporate manifestation of God in the flesh.
三 团体的帐幕召会作基督的扩大,乃是宇宙神人二性的合并:
C. The corporate tabernacle, the church as the enlargement of Christ, being the universal, divine-human incorporation:
1 基督为父用神圣的荣耀所荣耀的结果─约十二23~24,十七1,徒三13
1. The issue of Christ being glorified by the Father with the divine glory—John 12:23-24; 17:1; Acts 3:13.
2 三一神本身是一个合并,在基督的复活里已将基督的众信徒合并到祂这独一、宇宙的合并里,产生宇宙、神人二性的合并。
2. The Triune God, who is Himself an incorporation, in the resurrection of Christ having incorporated all the believers of Christ into His unique, universal incorporation, producing the universal, divine-human incorporation.
3 这宇宙、神人二性的合并有三方面:
3. The universal, divine-human incorporation having three aspects:
a 父的家─约十四2
a. The Father's house—John 14:2.
b 作子表号的真葡萄树─约十五1,4~5
b. The true vine as a sign of the Son—John 15:1, 4-5.
c 由那灵所生的新孩子─约十六21,13~15
c. The new child born of the Spirit—John 16:21, 13-15.
