加强的时期

启一4

约翰写信给在亚西亚的七个召会:愿恩典与平安,从那今是昔是以后永是的,从祂宝座前的a七灵,
And from Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood

那灵现今已经加强七倍。(参赛三十26、但三19下、a启三1)


837  启四5

有闪电、声音、雷轰,从宝座中发出。又有七盏a火灯在宝座前点着,这七灯就是神的七灵。
And before the throne there was as it were a glassy sea like crystal; and in the midst of the throne and around the throne, there were four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.

七灵作为七盏火灯是为着执行神的行政。(a申四24、来十二29)


838  启五6

我又看见宝座与四活物中间,并众长老中间,有羔羊站立,像是刚被杀过的,有七角和七a眼,就是神的七灵,奉差遣往全地去的。
And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sits upon the throne.

七眼是为着将羔羊的所是传输到我们的所是里,好将我们作成与祂一样,为着神的建造。(参亚三9、a代下十六9、诗三二8)


839  启二7、启十二11、来十二22

那灵向众召会所说的话,凡有耳的,就应当听。得胜的,我必将神乐园中生命树的果子赐给他吃。
And to the messenger of the church in Smyrna write: These things says the First and the Last, who became dead and lived again:

得胜者是为着胜过召会的堕落而产生的。

启十二11

弟兄们胜过他,是因羔羊的血,并因自己所见证的话,他们虽至于死,也不爱自己的魂生命。
Therefore be glad, O heavens and those who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea because the devil has come down to you and has great rage, knowing that he has only a short time.

来十二22

但你们乃是来到锡安山,来到活神的城,属天的耶路撒冷,来到千万天使整体的聚集。
But you have come forward to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads of angels, to the universal gathering.

今天的召会生活就像新耶路撒冷,而得胜者就像锡安山以结束这世代。(参诗四八2)


840  启十四1、启二一2

我又观看,看哪,羔羊站在锡安山上,同祂还有十四万四千人,额上都写着祂的名,和祂父的名。
And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him a hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.

今天的召会生活就像新耶路撒冷,而得胜者就像锡安山以结束这世代。 (参诗四八2)

启二一2

我又看见圣城新耶路撒冷由神那里从天而降,预备好了,就如新妇妆饰整齐,等候丈夫。
And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

基督丰满的职事终极完成于新耶路撒冷。
