壹　主恢复中内在的需要，乃是祂子民的余数建造召会作神的国，这是借着建造城墙，完全从世界分别出来归给神，为着召会被神全然浸透─尼二4，10，17~20，四11~23，罗六19，22，弗五26，约十七17，彼后一4：
I.　The intrinsic need in the Lord's recovery is for a remnant of His people to build up the church as the kingdom of God, to "build up the wall," by being fully separated unto God from the world to be fully saturated with God for the church—Neh. 2:4, 10, 17-20; 4:11-23; Rom. 6:19, 22; Eph. 5:26; John 17:17; 2 Pet. 1:4:

二　宝石指明变化;我们越变化，就越分别出来，并建造在一起，成为一道完整的墙及其根基─启二一12上，林前三6~12上，罗十二2，林后三18。
B.　Precious stones indicate transformation; the more we are transformed, the more we are separated and built up together to be one complete wall with its foundations— Rev. 21:12a; 1 Cor. 3:6-12a; Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18.

叁　巴比伦是偶像之地，埃及是属世丰富和享乐之地，而所多玛是罪恶之城。这是世界的三方面，在迦南地周围形成三角边界;神所呼召的人居住在其内，必须蒙拯救脱离这属撒但的三角地带─耶二13，约壹五21，提后三1~5，林后六14~七1：

A.　The idolatrous world of Babylon is characterized by the wickedness of business, or commerce, involving covetousness, deceit, and love of money; our Christian life should be without the love of money, and our Christian work should not be a money-making trade—Zech. 5:5-11; 1 Tim. 3:3, 8; 6:5-10; Acts 11:29-30; 20:33-34; 2 Tim. 3:2-4; Heb. 13:5; 2 Cor. 2:17; 12:15; cf. 2 Kings 5:15-27:

2.　God's intention in giving His chosen people a revelation of the true nature, meaning, and issue of life in Egypt (the world) is to cause His people to hate and become disgusted with Egypt, to leave Egypt behind, and to be separated to God for His dwelling place—Exo. 5:1; 40:34; Rom. 12:1-2.
3　我们若要成为神的居所，就必须透彻的认识世界，世界的元素也必须从我们的所是里炼净。
3.　If we would be God's dwelling place, we must know the world in a thorough way, and the element of the world must be purged out of our being.

1.　In their giving up God, the wicked Sodomites were given up by God to "passions of dishonor"; this is the ultimate issue of man's rebelling against God and rejecting his conscience—Gen. 19:4-16, 30-38; Rom. 1:21-27; 2:14-15; 1 Tim. 4:2.
2　在神完整的救恩里，我们能从所多玛一切罪恶的事物得着洗净，被神圣别，并蒙神称义、悦纳;我们若荣耀神、感谢神、敬拜神并事奉神，就要受保护，脱离各样的邪恶─林前六9~11，罗一21，25。
2.　In God's complete salvation, we can be washed from all the sinful things of Sodom, sanctified by God, and justified, accepted, by God; if we glorify God, thank God, worship God, and serve God, we will be protected from every kind of evil—1 Cor. 6:9-11; Rom. 1:21, 25.
3　亚伯拉罕享受与神甜美的交通时，从神领受关于以撒出生和所多玛毁灭的启示;这表征神要在我们的生活中产生基督，并且除掉我们家庭生活、职业生活、甚至基督徒生活和召会生活中的“所多玛”─创十八10，14，16~21，来十二1~4，林前五7~8，罗八2。
3.　As Abraham was enjoying sweet fellowship with God, he received a revelation from Him regarding the birth of Isaac and the destruction of Sodom; this signifies that God intends to bring forth Christ in our life and to destroy the "Sodom" in our home life, work life, and even in our Christian and church life— Gen. 18:10, 14, 16-21; Heb. 12:1-4; 1 Cor. 5:7-8; Rom. 8:2.
