壹　小申言者书就如大申言者书，揭示神在祂的经纶里，对以色列爱的惩治，对以色列行政的对付，并对列国的审判，结果带进作神经纶中心与普及之基督的显现，以带进国度，就是复兴的时代，那要将老旧并毁坏的宇宙引进那有新耶路撒冷的新天新地里─弥五2，珥三16~18，摩九11，太十九28，徒三21，启二一1~2：
I.　Like the Major Prophets, the Minor Prophets unveil that God's economy in His loving chastisement of Israel, in His governmental dealing with Israel, and in His judgment upon the nations issues in the manifestation of Christ as the centrality and universality in God's economy to bring in the kingdom, the age of restoration, which will usher the old and ruined universe into the new heaven and new earth with the New Jerusalem—Micah 5:2; Joel 3:16-18; Amos 9:11; Matt. 19:28; Acts 3:21; Rev. 21:1-2:
一　世界历史一直在展示藉申言者所预言之事的应验;二十六个世纪以来，以色列一直遭受长期的神圣惩治─珥一4。

四　全部申言者书的中心点乃是基督─路二四27，约五39：

1　神的目的，神的愿望，就是使基督成为神经纶的中心与普及─西一15~18。
1.　God's intention, God's desire, makes Christ the centrality and universality in His economy—Col. 1:15-18.
2　在新约里，基督是一切，又在一切之内;在新人里，基督是每一个人，又在每一个人之内;因此，整个召会不是别的，全是基督─三10~11，林前十二12。
2.　In the New Testament Christ is all and in all; in the new man Christ is everyone and in everyone, and thus the whole church is nothing but Christ—3:10-11; 1 Cor. 12:12.

4.　Sinners who repent and believe in Christ will be forgiven of their sins and justified by God to have the divine life so that they may walk in the divine light and become the mighty ones of Christ, sent with Him by God in Christ's second coming—Amos 4:12; Micah 7:8-9, 18-19; Hab. 2:4; Joel 3:11b.

一　从以赛亚到玛拉基的众申言者所释放的启示，其着重的要点，乃是神要与祂所拣选的人有生机的联结─何二19~20：
A.　The crucial emphasis of the revelation released by all the prophets from Isaiah to Malachi is that God wants to have an organic union with His chosen people—Hosea 2:19-20:
1　在这联结里，神是祂子民的生命，而他们是祂的彰显;如此，神与祂所拣选的人就成为一对宇宙夫妇─启二二17。
1.　In this union God is His people's life, and they are His expression; in this way God and His chosen people become a universal couple—Rev. 22:17.
2　大申言者书和小申言者书都说到神是丈夫，神的选民是妻子;这思想在新约中有完全的发展─太九15，林后十一2，启二一2，9~10。
2.　Both the Major Prophets and the Minor Prophets speak of God as the Husband and of God's chosen people as the wife; this thought is fully developed in the New Testament—Matt. 9:15; 2 Cor. 11:2; Rev. 21:2, 9-10.
二　整本圣经就是神圣的罗曼史，显示历世纪以来，神与人有一个罗曼史;因此，圣经记载神如何追求祂所拣选的人，至终与他们成为婚配─创二21~24，歌一2~4，赛五四5，六二5，耶二2，三1，14，三一32，结十六8，二三5，何二7，19，太九15，约三29，林后十一2，弗五25~32，启十九7，二一2，9~10，二二17：
B.　The entire Bible is a divine romance, showing that throughout the centuries God has had a romance with man; thus, the Bible is a record of how God courts His chosen people and eventually marries them—Gen. 2:21-24; S. S. 1:2-4; Isa. 54:5; 62:5; Jer. 2:2; 3:1, 14; 31:32; Ezek. 16:8; 23:5; Hosea 2:7, 19; Matt. 9:15; John 3:29; 2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5:25-32; Rev. 19:7; 21:2, 9-10; 22:17:
1　当我们这些神的子民进入与神相爱的关系，我们就接受祂的生命，正如夏娃接受了亚当的生命一样─创二21~22。
1.　When we as God's people enter into a love relationship with God, we receive His life, just as Eve received the life of Adam—Gen. 2:21-22.
2　乃是这个生命使我们与神成为一，祂也与我们成为一─约三3，5~6，15~16，29~30。

4.　The divine romance is portrayed in the Song of Songs—1:2-4:

a.　This book is a marvelous and vivid portrait, in poetic form, of the bridal love between Christ as the Bridegroom and His lovers as His bride in their mutual enjoyment in the mingling of His divine attributes with the human virtues of His lovers—vv. 15-16; 4:7, 10-15; 5:1-2; 6:4, 10.
b　根据雅歌，我们与主的关系该是非常罗曼蒂克的;我们和主耶稣之间若没有罗曼史，我们就是宗教的基督徒，不是罗曼蒂克的基督徒。
b.　According to Song of Songs, our relationship with the Lord should be very romantic; if there is no romance between us and the Lord Jesus, then we are religious Christians, not romantic Christians.
5　旧约和新约都是婚约;全本旧约和新约都是以这种方式写的─耶二2：
5.　Both the old and new covenants are espousal covenants; both the entire Old Testament and New Testament were written in this way—Jer. 2:2:
a　全本圣经是神求婚的话;整体而言，圣经乃是这样神圣求婚的话─林后十一2。
a.　The entire Bible is God's courting word; as a whole, the Bible is a word of such a divine courtship—2 Cor. 11:2.
b　我们若要听从神求婚的话，就需要对祂有回应，有情深的爱;雅歌描绘这一种有回应且情深的爱，在此我们看见一幅良人和祂佳偶之间爱的图画─一2~4，林后五14~15，约十四21，23。
b.　If we would keep God's courting word, we need a responsive, affectionate love for Him; this kind of responsive, affectionate love is depicted in Song of Songs, where we have a portrait of the love between the Beloved and His love—1:2-4; 2 Cor. 5:14-15; John 14:21, 23.
三　神造人的目的乃是要得着一个配偶─创一26：
C.　God created man with the purpose of having a counterpart—Gen. 1:26:
1　神乃是一个爱人，祂按着自己是一个爱人的形像来造人，为要叫人爱祂─可十二30，林前二9。

1　召会作基督的配偶，是由夏娃作亚当的配偶所预表;夏娃出于亚当，预表召会出于基督，有基督的生命与性情─创二21~24，弗五23~32。
1.　The church as the counterpart of Christ is typified by Eve as the counterpart of Adam; Eve's coming out of Adam typifies that the church comes out of Christ and has the life and nature of Christ—Gen. 2:21-24; Eph. 5:23-32.

1　主耶稣重生召会，好使召会成为祂的新妇─约三3，5~6，29~30。
1.　The Lord Jesus regenerates the church so that the church may be His bride—John 3:3, 5-6, 29-30.

2.　The Lord is the Bridegroom with the divine life and the divine nature; if we would become His bride, we must also have the divine life and the divine nature—Matt. 9:15; 1:18, 20, 23; John 3:15; 2 Pet. 1:4.

1.　For eternity in the new heaven and new earth, the New Jerusalem will be the wife of the Lamb—v. 2; 22:17.
