I. The entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation presents a full picture of the economy of God (Eph. 1:10; 3:9; 1 Tim. 1:4) and of God's move on earth to carry out His economy:

一 在以西结书,神的经纶与神在祂经纶中的行动,乃是由轮所表征─一15:

A. In the book of Ezekiel God's economy and God's move in His economy are signified by a wheel—1:15:

1 这个大轮的轮轴表征基督作神经纶的中心;轮辋表征基督的配偶,就是召会,终极完成于新耶路撒冷。

1. The hub of this great wheel signifies Christ as the center of God's economy, and the rim signifies Christ's counterpart, the church, which consummates in the New Jerusalem.

2 由轮轴伸展到轮辋的轮辐表征作基督肢体的许多信徒。

五 轮在活物的四个脸旁(15),指明我们若要有主的行动,首先必须活出主,彰显主(罗十三14,加二20,腓一19~21)。─引用经文

E. The wheels being for the four faces of the living creatures (v. 15) indicates that if we would have the Lord's move, we must first live out the Lord, expressing Him (Rom. 13:14; Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:19-21).

贰 在每个活物旁,有高而可畏的轮子─结一15~21:

II. By the side of every living creature there is a high and awesome wheel—Ezek. 1:15-21:

C. God's move is the move of His economy in man to deify man to bring forth the one new man so that God in Christ may have His corporate expression and administration—Ezek. 1:10, 13, 15, 26-27; Eph. 2:15; 4:22-24; Col. 3:10-11.

四 每一个地方召会和每一位个别的信徒,都该有高而可畏的轮子随着他们─参徒十三1~2:

D. Every local church and every individual believer should have a high and awesome wheel with them—cf. Acts 13:1-2:

1 内里的轮子(主作轮轴)乃是外在轮子(召会作轮辋)行动能力的源头。

1. The inner wheel, the Lord as the hub, is the source of power for the moving of the outer wheel, the church as the rim.

2 以利亚在祷告里祷告,意思是主的祷告在他的祷告里;这就是轮中套轮─雅五17:

D. The wheels going in four directions and not turning as they went indicates a move in coordination, without any turns— Ezek. 1:17; cf. v. 12 and footnote 1.

五 我们在自己里面该是微小的;但在我们旁边的轮子,也就是神在我们身上经纶的行动,该是高而可畏的─18节,林前十五9,林后十一5,十二11,弗三8~11。

E. In ourselves we should be small, but the wheel beside us, that is, the move of God's economy with us, should be high and awesome—v. 18; 1 Cor. 15:9; 2 Cor. 11:5; 12:11; Eph. 3:8-11.

G. The wheels following the living creatures indicates that the move of God's work depends upon our moving; it also indicates that if we move in faith, the Lord will follow our move— Ezek. 1:19; 2 Cor. 5:7; 4:13, 18; cf. Eccl. 11:4.

八 轮随着活物(结一19、21),活物随着灵,但灵在轮中:─引用经文

H. The wheels follow the living creatures (Ezek. 1:19, 21), and the creatures follow the Spirit, but the Spirit is in the wheels:

1. This indicates that the move of the Lord in our move is in the principle of incarnation—v. 20; cf. 1 Cor. 7:10, 12.
