一　神永远的目的，是要我们成为新耶路撒冷，这见于创世记一至二章的生机蓝图，也就是三一神的建筑计划，也见于启示录二十一至二十二章完成的成品，也就是三一神生机的杰作，使神万般的智慧得着完满的显明─来十一10，弗二10，三10，参林前一30，三~12：
A.　God's eternal intention for us to become the New Jerusalem is seen in Genesis 1—2 as the organic blueprint, the architectural plan of the Triune God, and in Revelation 21—22 as the finished product, the organic masterpiece of the Triune God, for the full manifestation of His multifarious wisdom—Heb. 11:10; Eph. 2:10; 3:10; cf. 1 Cor. 1:30; 3:10-12:

二　圣经这两部分神圣启示所启示的，乃是整本圣经里神圣启示的中心线;这中心线该是我们解释并领会圣经的支配原则。
B.　What is revealed in these two parts of the divine revelation in the holy Scripture is the central line of the divine revelation throughout the entire holy Scripture; this central line should be a controlling principle to our interpreting and understanding of the holy Scripture.

二　在太初，就是在已过的永远里有话，这话就是神;在将来的永远里，话成了新耶路撒冷─约一1，四14下：
B.　In the beginning, in eternity past, was the Word, who was God; in eternity future, the Word becomes the New Jerusalem—John 1:1; 4:14b:
1　三一神与我们成为新耶路撒冷，乃是借着神圣的说话、神圣的扩展、神圣的分赐，就是将祂自己这涌流的三一神分赐到我们里面，作我们的享受，成为我们永远的福分，为着祂永远的荣耀（这是圣经永远的原则和管治的原则）─启二一1~2，5，11，参诗三六8~9，民六22~27，林后十三14。

e.　As the duplication of Christ, we are a heavenly ladder bringing heaven to earth and joining earth to heaven, moving with God in the unshakable power of the Spirit—cf. S. S. 3:6: (1) When we minister Christ to sinners, they will appreciate Christ and receive Christ; this is to bring heaven to the earth. (2) When we help them to grow, we are joining them to heaven.
