I.　The vision that the Lord has given to His recovery is an all-inclusive vision— the all-inheriting vision of the age—Prov. 29:18a; Acts 26:19:

A.　In the Bible vision denotes an extraordinary scene; it refers to a special kind of seeing—a glorious, inward seeing—and to the spiritual scenery we see from God— Ezek. 1:1, 4-28; Dan. 7:1, 9-10, 13-14.

B.　In order to have a vision, we need revelation, light, and sight—Eph. 1:17-18a.

C.　Everyone who serves the Lord must be a person with a vision—Acts 26:13-19.

D.　The heavenly vision governs us, restricts us, controls us, directs us, preserves us, revolutionizes us, keeps us in the genuine oneness, and gives us the boldness to go on—Prov. 29:18a.

E.　Under the heavenly vision we are directed toward God's destination, and our life is controlled according to God's economy—Phil. 3:13-14; 1 Tim. 1:4.

F.　In every age there is the vision of that age, and we need to serve God according to the vision of that age—Acts 26:19; Eph. 1:17; 3:9.

G.　Our vision is a vision that matches the age—a vision that extends all the way from Genesis to Revelation:

1.　The vision that the Lord has given us in His recovery is the ultimate consummation of all visions—the New Jerusalem—Rev. 21:2, 9-10.

2.　Within this ultimate consummation everything is included.

H.　The governing vision of the Bible is the Triune God working Himself into His chosen and redeemed people in order to saturate their entire being with the Divine Trinity for the producing and building up of the Body of Christ consummating in the New Jerusalem—Eph. 4:4-6; Rev. 21:2, 9-10.

II.　Our one accord is in the all-inheriting vision of the age—Acts 26:19; 1:14; Rom. 15:6:

A.　If our vision is not up to date, it will be impossible for us to be one—Prov. 29:18a.

B.　Throughout the centuries, many servants of the Lord were raised up, yet they were not able to be in one accord because the visions they saw were different.

C.　The characteristic of the Lord's recovery is that the veil has been completely opened from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation.

D.　We all need to be in the up-to-date vision, having one viewpoint with one heart and one way—Jer. 32:39:

1.　We should all have one heart—to love God, to seek God, to live God, and to be constituted with God that we may be His expression—Eph. 3:17a.

2.　We should all have one way—the Triune God as the inner law of life with its divine capacity—Jer. 31:33-34; John 14:6.

E.　To be with one accord is to be one in our whole being and results in our being one in our outward speaking—Rom. 15:6:

1.　Whenever we are in one accord, we speak the same thing; we speak with one mouth—1 Cor. 1:10; Phil. 2:2.

2.　The only way to be with one accord and one mouth is to allow Christ the room to be everything in our heart and in our mouth that God may be glorified—Eph. 3:17a.

III.　The high peak of the divine revelation—the "diamond" in the "box" of the Bible—is the revelation that in Christ God has become man in order that man might become God in life and nature but not in the Godhead—2 Sam. 7:12-14a; Rom. 1:3-4; Eph. 3:17a:

A.　"God becoming man and man becoming God" is the economy of God—1 Tim. 1:4.

B.　God's eternal economy is to make man the same as He is in life and nature but not in the Godhead and to make Himself one with man and man one with Him, thus to be enlarged and expanded in His expression, that all His divine attributes may be expressed in human virtues—Eph. 3:9; 1:10:

1.　God's good pleasure is to be one with man and to make man the same as He is in life and nature but not in the Godhead—vv. 5, 9.

2.　God became man in order to have a mass reproduction of Himself and thereby to produce a new kind—God-man kind—John 1:1, 14; 12:24.

C.　For the fulfillment of God's economy, we need God to build Himself in Christ into us as our life, our nature, and our constitution to make us God in life and nature but not in the Godhead—Eph. 3:17a; Col. 3:4, 10-11.

D.　God became man through incarnation; man becomes God through regeneration, sanctification, renewing, transformation, conformation, and glorification—John 3:5-6; 1:12-13; Rom. 6:19, 22; 12:2; 8:29-30.

IV.　It is only by God's becoming man to make man God that the Body of Christ can be produced; this point is the high peak of the vision given to us by God—v. 3; 1:3-4; 8:14; 12:4-5:

A.　God became man to make man God that He might produce the Body of Christ—the organism of the Triune God, the ultimate manifestation of which is the New Jerusalem—Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4-6; Rev. 21:2, 9-10.

B.　The Bible shows us how man can become God to have a God-man living and thus become an organism of God—Rom. 1:3-4; 12:4-5:

1.　This organism is God joining and mingling Himself with man to make God man and to make man God.

2.　The issue of God becoming man and man becoming God is an organism; this organism is the Body of Christ—the union and mingling of God with man—Eph. 4:4-6.

C.　God sent His Son to be a man and to live a God-man life by the divine life; such a living issues in a universal man that is exactly the same as He is—a corporate man living a God-man life by the divine life—Rom. 8:3; 12:4-5.

D.　The reality of the Body of Christ is the union and mingling of God with man to live out a corporate God-man—Eph. 4:4-6, 24.
