第二篇 神、人和撒但
God, Man, and Satan
读经：伯一6~12，二1~7，太十二26，来二14，罗十六20，启十二5、7~11
壹 全本圣经就是记载神、人和撒但的事；所以我们读圣经，不仅要懂得神的事和人的事，还必须懂得撒但的事─创一1、26~28，三1、4、15，赛十四12~14，结二八12~19：
I. The entire Bible is a record of the things concerning God, man, and Satan; therefore, in our reading of the Bible, we need to know not only the things concerning God and man but also the things concerning Satan—Gen. 1:1, 26-28; 3:1, 4, 15; Isa. 14:12-14; Ezek. 28:12-19:
一 撒但原是神在创造地以前所创造的一个天使和受膏的基路伯；他原是天使当中最高的一位─12~15节，伯三八4~7：
A. Satan was an angel and an anointed cherub created by God before God created the earth; he was the highest among the angels—vv. 12-15; Job 38:4-7:
1 撒但原是“明亮之星，清晨之子”（赛十四12），是神在宇宙之“晨”所创造最初期的天使之一，受神指派作了天使长（结二八14，犹9）。─引用经文
1. Satan was the "Daystar, son of the dawn" (Isa. 14:12), one of the first angels created by God at the "dawn" of the universe, appointed by God to be the head of all the angels (Ezek. 28:14; Jude 9).
2 受膏的基路伯为神所派管理亚当以前的宇宙（路四6）；受膏的基路伯是最靠近神的，兼有君王职分和祭司职分，在神的造物中掌有最高的地位（结二八13）。─引用经文
2. The anointed cherub was appointed by God to rule over the preadamic universe (Luke 4:6); the anointed cherub was the one closest to God, and having both the kingship and the priesthood, he held the highest position in God's creation (Ezek. 28:13).
二 撒但对神的背叛启示于以赛亚十四章十三至十四节和以西结二十八章十五至十八节：─引用经文
B. Satan's rebellion against God is revealed in Isaiah 14:13-14 and Ezekiel 28:15-18:
1 撒但背叛神是由于他心里骄傲；他因美丽心中高傲─赛十四13~14，结二八17。
1. Satan rebelled against God because of the pride in his heart; his heart was lifted up because of his beauty—Isa. 14:13-14; Ezek. 28:17.
2 撒但背叛的意图乃是要推翻神的权柄，高举自己与神同等；在他对神的背叛里，他要与神同等─赛十四13。
2. Satan's intention was to overthrow God's authority and to exalt himself to be equal with God; in his rebellion against God, Satan wanted to be on the same level as God—Isa. 14:13.
三 因着背叛，撒但就成了神的对头，神的仇敌─亚三1~2，启十二9上，二十2上：
C. Because of his rebellion, Satan became God's adversary, God's enemy—Zech. 3:1-2; Rev. 12:9a; 20:2a:
1 “撒但”意“对头”；撒但是神的对头，是与神作对的─伯一7、12，二1、6，启二十2。
1. Satan means "adversary"; as God's adversary, Satan opposes God—Job 1:7, 12; 2:1, 6; Rev. 20:2.
2 “仇敌”是指在神国之外的敌人，而“对头”则指在神国之内的敌人。
2. Enemy refers to the foe outside of God's kingdom, whereas adversary refers to the foe from within God's kingdom.
3 撒但不仅在神国之外作神的仇敌，也在神国之内作神的对头，背叛神。
3. Satan is not only God's enemy outside of God's kingdom but also God's adversary from within God's kingdom, rebelling against God.
贰 约伯记一至二章的景象描述在天上所举行关于约伯的两次会议─一6~12，二1~7：
II. The scene in Job 1 and 2 depicts two councils held in heaven concerning Job—1:6-12; 2:1-7:
一 因着神对约伯有爱的关切，所以就在天上举行两次会议讨论约伯─一6，二1。
A. Because of His loving concern for Job, God held two councils in the heavens to talk about Job—1:6; 2:1.
二 “神的众子”，就是众天使，来侍立在耶和华面前，撒但，就是那对头，也来在其中─一6，二1，三八7，参王上二二19~23，诗八九5~8：
B. The "sons of God," the angels, came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan, the adversary, also came among them—1:6; 2:1; 38:7; cf. 1 Kings 22:19-23; Psa. 89:5-8:
1 撒但背叛神以后，已经被神定罪，甚至受神判刑─赛十四12~15，结二八12~19。
1. After he rebelled against God, Satan was condemned and even sentenced by God—Isa. 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:12-19.
2 撒但进到神面前的权利仍未从他夺去─参启十二10。
2. Satan's right to enter into the presence of God has not yet been taken away from him—cf. Rev. 12:10.
三 神按祂的智慧和主宰的权柄，还未在撒但身上执行祂的审判，反而给撒但有限的时间，让他作些事，好应付一些消极的需要，以完成祂的经纶：
C. In His wisdom and sovereignty God did not execute His judgment on Satan but has given Satan a certain limited time to do something to meet some negative need in the fulfillment of His economy:
1 神不能，也不愿要求祂众多良好天使中的任何一位，来作伤害约伯所必须的事，就是剥夺他的一切，使他能被神充满─伯一1、8、11~12，二3~7。
1. God could not and would not ask any of His many excellent angels to do what was needed to damage Job in order to strip him of everything so that he might be full of God—Job 1:1, 8, 11-12; 2:3-7.
2 撒但是宇宙中唯一的一位，能够且愿意完成神这目的，就是剥夺约伯的家产和道德成就─3节。
2. Satan was the unique one in the universe who could and who would fulfill God's intention of stripping Job of his possessions and ethical attainment—v. 3.
3 约伯记一至二章的景象给我们看见，撒但仍是自由的，好被神特意用作丑恶的工具，以执行神对爱祂之人严厉的对付─参路二二31~32。
3. The scene in chapters 1 and 2 of Job shows us that Satan remains free to be purposely used by God as an ugly tool to execute God's severe dealing with His loving ones—cf. Luke 22:31-32.
叁 撒但有他的国，就是黑暗的权势─太十二26，徒二六18，西一13：
III. Satan has his kingdom, the authority of darkness—Matt. 12:26; Acts 26:18; Col. 1:13:
一 撒但有他的权势（徒二六18）和他的使者（太二五41），就是他的从属，是这黑暗世界的执政者、掌权者和管辖者；因此，他有他的国，就是黑暗的权势（西一13）。─引用经文
A. Satan has his authority (Acts 26:18) and his angels (Matt. 25:41), who are his subordinates as rulers, authorities, and world-rulers of the darkness of this world; hence, he has his kingdom, the authority of darkness (Col. 1:13).
二 撒但是这世界的王和空中掌权者的首领─约十二31，弗二2：
B. Satan is the ruler of this world and the ruler of the authority of the air—John 12:31; Eph. 2:2:
1 “灵”（2）与“空中掌权者”是同位语，指集体的权势，就是一切邪恶天使权势的集合，由撒但为其首领。─引用经文
1. The spirit (v. 2), in apposition to the authority of the air, refers to the aggregate power, the aggregate of all the evil angelic authorities, over which Satan is the ruler.
2 当我们死在过犯并罪之中（1），我们的行事为人随着“这世界的世代”（2），就是世界时髦的表现，现今的潮流，就是撒但的系统。─引用经文
2. When we were dead in offenses and sins (v. 1), we walked according to "the age of this world" (v. 2), the modern appearance, the present course, of the world, the satanic system.
3 那些执政的、掌权的和管辖这黑暗世界的，乃是背叛的天使；他们跟从撒但一同背叛、抵挡神，现今在诸天界里管辖世上的列国─但十20。
3. The rulers, the authorities, and the world-rulers of this darkness are the rebellious angels, who followed Satan in his rebellion against God and who now rule in the heavenlies over the nations of the world—Dan. 10:20.
4 这指明魔鬼撒但有他的国，他在其中居于最高位，在他以下有背叛的天使。
4. This indicates that the devil, Satan, has his kingdom in which he occupies the highest position and in which the rebellious angels are under him.
肆 主耶稣借着祂在地上的职事和祂在十字架上的死，胜过了撒但─约壹三8，太二七51~53，西二14~15，来二14：

b 为这缘故，神的儿子显现出来，要解除并毁坏魔鬼罪恶的作为，就是借着祂在十字架上的死，在肉体中定罪那恶者所起始的罪；毁坏罪的权势，就是魔鬼罪恶的性情；并且除去罪与诸罪─罗八3，来二14，约一29。
b. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might undo and destroy the sinful deeds of the devil, that is, condemn, through His death on the cross in the flesh, sin initiated by him, the evil one; destroy the power of sin, the sinful nature of the devil; and take away both sin and sins—Rom. 8:3; Heb. 2:14; John 1:29.

1 魔鬼不但有邪恶的意图，也有狡诈的诡计来行出他的意图；这些诡计乃是他邪恶的计谋。

2. Putting on the whole armor of God enables us to stand against the stratagems of the devil—v. 11.

C. We need to be watchful against our adversary, the devil, who "as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking someone to devour"—1 Pet. 5:8:
1 儆醒犹如战争中的警备，如同在前线的士兵。

2 我们是否在撒但的权下，不在于我们所作的事，乃在于我们是在灵里，还是在肉体里─加五16~17。
2. Whether or not we are under Satan's authority is not determined by the things we do; rather, it is determined by whether we are in the spirit or in the flesh—Gal. 5:16-17.

3. As long as we remain in the mingled spirit, we will be kept, and Satan will have no way with us—1 Cor. 6:17; 1 John 5:4-5, 18-21.
陆 “平安的神快要将撒但践踏在你们的脚下”─罗十六20：

二 罗马十六章二十节的“你们的”在原文是复数，指基督的身体─十二5：
B. The Greek word rendered "your" in Romans 16:20 is plural; this points to the Body—12:5:
1 罗马十六章不是指宇宙的身体，乃是指身体在地方上实际的彰显。
1. Romans 16 does not refer to the Body in a universal sense but to the local and practical expression of the Body.
2 对付撒但乃是身体的事，不是个人的事。
2. Dealing with Satan is a Body matter, not an individual matter.
3 撒但只能被践踏在那实际彰显于众地方召会之基督身体的脚下─十二5，十六1、4、16下。
3. Satan can be crushed only under the feet of the practical expression of the Body in the local churches—12:5; 16:1, 4, 16b.
4 唯有当我们有正当的地方召会，作身体实际的出现，才会将撒但践踏在脚下─20节。

三 将撒但践踏在我们脚下的那一位是平安的神，这是很有意义的─20节：
C. It is significant that the One who crushes Satan under our feet is the God of peace—v. 20:
1 和平的神是那圣别人的，祂的圣别带来和平─帖前五23。

2 当我们从里面被祂全然圣别时，就在凡事上与祂与人都有和平─13节，罗六19、22，来十三12。
2. When we are wholly sanctified by Him from within, we have peace with Him and with man in every way—v. 13; Rom. 6:19, 22; Heb. 13:12.
3 神的平安保卫（守卫）我们的心怀意念，因为平安的神在基督里，在我们的心怀意念前巡查，保守我们平静安宁─腓四7。
3. The peace of God guards, mounts guard over, our hearts and our thoughts because the God of peace patrols before our hearts and thoughts in Christ, keeping us calm and tranquil—Phil. 4:7.
柒 男孩子被提到神的宝座那里之后，天上就有争战，撒但和他的使者要被摔在地上，并且神的国要显明─启十二5、7~11：

B. The devil, the accuser, is now accusing the believers before God day and night, but the overcoming believers who constitute the man-child and who have been opposed and slandered by God's enemy, Satan, overcome him—vv. 10-11:
1 他们胜过他，是“因羔羊的血”─11节上：

2 他们胜过他，是“因自己所见证的话”─启十二11中：

b 每当我们感觉魔鬼的控告，就当发声宣告，主胜过了他。
b. Whenever we sense the devil's accusation, we should declare with the uttered word the Lord's victory over him.
3 得胜者不爱自己的魂生命─启十二11下：
3. The overcomers do not love their soul-life—Rev. 12:11c:
a 不爱自己的魂生命，乃是我们胜过撒但的根据。
a. Not loving our soul-life is the basis for overcoming Satan, for our victory over Satan.
b 不爱自己的魂生命，乃是能舍得自己的魂生命，不在乎自己的魂生命─可八34~35。
b. Not loving our soul-life means that we are willing to give up our own soul-life and that we do not care for our own soul-life—Mark 8:34-35.

3. The rapture of the man-child to the throne of God, the casting of Satan to the earth, and the declaration in heaven signify that the man-child will bring the kingdom to the earth; this is God's greatest dispensational move—vv. 5, 9-10; 11:15.
