读经：结三七1~14，26~28
Scripture Reading: Ezek. 37:1-14, 26-28
壹　以西结书有三章在圣经里居特别的地位，每一章都能用一个宇来代表：第一章─火;第三十七章─气;第四十七章─水。
I.　Three chapters in the book of Ezekiel occupy a special position in the Bible and can each be represented by a single word: chapter one—fire; chapter thirty-seven—breath; and chapter forty-seven—water.
贰　以西结三十七章启示，神的灵如何进到我们里面，为要点活我们，使我们成为一个团体的身体，形成军队，并建造成为神的居所：
II.　Ezekiel 37 reveals how God's Spirit comes into us in order to enliven us that we may become a corporate body formed into an army and also built up as God's dwelling place:
一　在以西结三十七章，风就是气，气就是灵─9，14节，约二十22，三8：
A.　In Ezekiel 37 the wind is the breath, and the breath is the Spirit—vv. 9, 14; John 20:22; 3:8:
1　借着呼求主名，我们就能吸入主─哀三55~56。
1.　We can breathe in the Lord by calling on His name—Lam. 3:55-56.
2　借着在祷告中与主交谈而向主敞开，我们就能吸入主─诗歌二一〇首。
2.　We can breathe in the Lord by opening ourselves to Him in our conversing with Him in prayer—Hymns, #255.
3　借着祷读主话，我们就能吸入主─提后三16，约六63，弗六17~18。
3.　We can breathe in the Lord by pray-reading His Word—2 Tim. 3:16; John 6:63; Eph. 6:17-18.
二　以西结三十七章启示，我们不仅是死的，也是枯骨─1~2节：
B.　Ezekiel 37 reveals that we were not only dead but also dry bones—vv. 1-2:
1　神的救恩不仅是为着罪人，也是为着死人─11~14节，约五25。
1.　God's salvation is not only for those who are sinful but also for those who are dead—vv. 11-14; John 5:25.
2　枯骨是离散，单独而分开的。
2.　The dry bones are scattered, independent, and separate.
三　借着申言，就是讲说祂的话，主来救拔并恢复祂的子民：
C.　The Lord comes in to rescue and recover His people through the prophesying of His word:
1　当以西结向枯骨申言时，就有响声，有地震，骨与骨联在一起，骸骨上有筋，也长了肉，又有皮遮蔽其上─结三七7~8，诗九五1~2。
1.　As Ezekiel prophesied to the bones, they came together with noise and shaking, and the sinews, the flesh, and the skin covered them—vv. 7-8; Psa. 95:1-2.
2　当以西结再向风申言时，（结三七9，）“气息就进入骸骨，骸骨便活了，并且站起来，成为极大的军队”─10节。
2.　When Ezekiel prophesied again to the wind (v. 9), "the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great army" (v. 10).
3　当以西结申言时，神就吹风，人接受气，气就成为灵。
3.　When Ezekiel prophesied, God blew the wind, the people received the breath, and the breath became the Spirit.
4　这幅图画给我们看见，主来复兴祂那些死寂并离散的子民，借着申言，使他们成为一：
4.　This picture shows us that the Lord comes to revive His dead and scattered people and make them one through prophesying:
a　申言是为主说话、说出主来、并把主说到人里面，以生机的建造召会─林前十四4下，12，26，31，民十一8。
a.　Prophesying is to speak for the Lord, to speak forth the Lord, to speak the Lord into others for the organic building up of the church—1 Cor. 14:4b, 12, 36, 31; Num. 11:29.
b　我们申言乃是借着在那灵的感动并祂的光照之下，用这生命的活话，讲说我们所看见的─徒五8。
b.　We prophesy by speaking what we see with the living words of this life under the inspiration of the Spirit and with His enlightenment—Acts 5:20.
c　我们要为主说话，就必须过申言的生活：
c.　In order to speak for the Lord, we must live a prophesying life:

(2).　By living an overcoming life every day—1 Cor. 2:9-10; Rom. 8:4; Phil. 3:8-10, 12-14; 2 Tim. 3:16; 4:2.
四　借着吸入那灵，神的子民成为神的军队和神的家，完成神双重的定旨，就是对付祂的仇敌，并彰显祂的形像─结三七10，26~28，帖后二8，创一26。
D.　Through the breathing of the Spirit, God's people become the army and the house to fulfill God's twofold purpose to deal with His enemy and express Him in His image—Ezek. 37:10, 26-28; 2 Thes. 2:8; Gen. 1:26.
