壹　神经纶的完成，与世界局势很有关系─徒十七26，但二31~45：
I.　The carrying out of God's economy has much to do with the world situation—Acts 17:26; Dan. 2:31-45:
一　召会既是出于人类，我们要有召会生活，就需要知道世界局势。
A.　Because the church comes out of mankind, in order to have the church life, we need to know the world situation.
二　因着神对地上的人类有一个目的要完成，祂就必定有主宰的权柄，管理人类历史的局势─徒十七26。
B.　Since God has a purpose to accomplish with mankind on earth, He surely has the sovereign authority to manage the situation in human history—Acts 17:26.

C.　The history of human government has been sovereignly arranged by the Lord for the carrying out of His economy—Dan. 2:31-45.
四　人类历史上一切的大事，都是神为着祂在地上的行动而安排的;因此这些大事都配合神的行动。
D.　All the major events of human history have been arranged by God for His move on earth; therefore, these major events match God's move.
五　世界局势总是主在地上行动的指针：
E.　The world situation has always been an indicator of the Lord's move on earth:
1　为着福音的开展，神预备了罗马帝国;为着归回圣经，神预备了德国;为着恢复福音、圣经的教导、以及正确的聚会，神使用了大英帝国。
1.　For the spread of the gospel, God prepared the Roman Empire; for the return to the Bible, God prepared Germany; and for the recovery of the gospel, the teaching of the Bible, and the proper meetings, God used Great Britain.

F.　Regarding the world situation, the Bible covers four things—God's chas-tisement of Israel, God's punishment of the nations, the manifestation of Christ, and the restoration—Joel 1:4; 2:28-29; 3:16-21:
1　因为人都走自己的路，以致变得邪恶败坏，神就进来惩治以色列，并惩罚列国。

2　神对以色列的惩治，和祂对列国的惩罚，提供一条路，使基督在主的恢复中得以显现─提前三15~16：
2.　God's chastisement of Israel and His punishment of the nations afford a way for Christ to be manifested in the Lord's recovery—1 Tim. 3:15-16:

b.　As members of the Body of Christ, our goal should be to enlarge the manifestation of Christ intrinsically—Eph. 1:22-23; 3:16-21.
