第二篇 因素二：紧紧跟随那借着时代的职事所得时代完整的异象
The Factor of Closely Following the Completed Vision of the Age through the Ministry of the Age
壹 每一个时代都有那个时代的异象，我们既然借着时代的职事，得着时代完整的异象，就必须照看这时代的异象事奉神，开紧紧跟随这异象─徒二六19，弗一17，三9，提前四6：
I. In every age there is the vision of that age, and since we have the completed vision of the age through the ministry of the age, we need to serve God according to this vision and closely follow it—Acts 26:19; Eph. 1:17; 3:9; 1 Tim. 4:6:
一 今天我们能同心合意，乃是因为我们只有一个异象，就是够上时代、承继一切的异象，也就是神永远经纶的异象─弗一17，三2、9，启二一10，提前一3~4，罗十五6，林前一10，徒二六13~19，腓三13~14。
A. Today we can be in one accord because we have only one vision, an up-to-date, all-inheriting vision, the vision of the eternal economy of God—Eph. 1:17; 3:2, 9; Rev. 21:10; 1 Tim. 1:3-4; Rom. 15:6; 1 Cor. 1:10; Acts 26:13-19; Phil. 3:13-14.
二 圣经中管制的异象，乃是神永远经纶的属天异象，就是神永远的目的同祂心头的愿望，要将祂自己在祂神圣的三一里，作为父在子里借着那灵，分赐到祂所拣选的人里面，作他们的生命和性情，使他们与祂一样，作祂的复制，成为一个生机体，基督的身体，就是新人，作神的丰满，神的彰显，这要终极完成于新耶路撒冷─弗一10，三9，提前一3~4，罗八29，约壹三2，弗一22~23，二15~16，三19，启三12、21，二一2、9~10，徒二六19。
B. The governing vision of the Bible is the heavenly vision of God's eternal economy, which is God's eternal intention with His heart's desire to dispense Himself in His Divine Trinity as the Father in the Son by the Spirit into His chosen people to be their life and nature that they may be the same as He is as His duplication, to become an organism, the Body of Christ as the new man for God's fullness, God's expression, which will consummate in the New Jerusalem—Eph. 1:10; 3:9; 1 Tim. 1:3-4; Rom. 8:29; 1 John 3:2; Eph. 1:22-23; 2:15-16; 3:19; Rev. 3:12, 21; 21:2, 9-10; Acts 26:19.
三 “我〔李弟兄〕告诉倪弟兄：‘就是你不走这条路，我还要走这条路；我不会因你而走，也不会因你而不走。我看见这条路是主的路，这是个异象。’”（时代的异象，五三页）。
C. "I [W. L.] told Brother Nee, 'Even if one day you do not take this way, I will still take this way. I am not taking this way because of you, and I will not leave this way because of you. I have seen that this is the Lord's way. I have seen the vision'"—The Vision of the Age, p. 50.
贰 主给祂当前恢复的异象，乃是神永远经纶包罗万有的异象，及其终极完成─新耶路撒冷的异象─箴二九18上，徒二六18~19，二二15，启二一2、9~11：
II. The vision that the Lord has given to us in His present recovery is the all-inclusive vision of God's eternal economy with its ultimate consummation—the vision of the New Jerusalem—Prov. 29:18a; Acts 26:18-19; 22:15; Rev. 21:2, 9-11:
一 圣经向我们所启示的，其总和乃是新耶路撒冷；新耶路撒冷乃是圣经整个启示的全部组成─创二八10~22，约一1、14、29、32、42、51，启二一3、22。
A. The totality of what the Bible reveals to us is the New Jerusalem; the New Jerusalem is the total composition of the entire revelation of the Bible—Gen. 28:10-22; John 1:1, 14, 29, 32, 42, 51; Rev. 21:3, 22.
二 我们活出新耶路撒冷，就是成为新耶路撒冷；我们作出新耶路撒冷，就是凭涌流的三一神建造新耶路撒冷─耶二13，约四14下，七37~39，启二二1~2上。
B. Our living out the New Jerusalem is for us to become the New Jerusalem, and our working out the New Jerusalem is for us to build the New Jerusalem by the flowing Triune God—Jer. 2:13; John 4:14b; 7:37-39; Rev. 22:1-2a.
三 每一个地方召会该是新耶路撒冷的小影，每一个信徒该是“小新耶路撒冷”；凡归属于新耶路撒冷的，都该是我们团体和个人的经历─二一3、22~23，二二1~2、14、17，三12。
C. Every local church should be a miniature of the New Jerusalem, and every believer should be "a little New Jerusalem"; whatever is ascribed to the New Jerusalem should be both our corporate and personal experience—21:3, 22-23; 22:1-2, 14, 17; 3:12.
四 新耶路撒冷是神完整救恩的具体表现，有其法理和生机的方面─罗五10，启二二14：
D. The New Jerusalem is the embodiment of God's complete salvation with its judicial and organic aspects—Rom. 5:10; Rev. 22:14:
1 神完满的救恩，乃是以神的义为基础，并以神的生命为完成所组成─罗一16~17，五10、17~18、21，路十五22~23，参耶二13，十三23，十七9，二三5~6，三一33。
1. God's full salvation is a composition of God's righteousness as the base and God's life as the consummation—Rom. 1:16-17; 5:10, 17-18, 21; Luke 15:22-23; cf. Jer. 2:13; 13:23; 17:9; 23:5-6; 31:33.
2 整个新耶路撒冷乃是生命建造在义之根基上的事─启二一14、19~20，二二1，参创九8~17，诗八九14。
2. The entire New Jerusalem is a matter of life built on the foundation of righteousness—Rev. 21:14, 19-20; 22:1; cf. Gen. 9:8-17; Psa. 89:14.
五 当我们经历神生机救恩的每一段，我们就一层一层地爬上去，直到我们成为新耶路撒冷里的人─罗五10、17、21，八10、6、11，启二二1~2，参耶十八15，弥五2：
E. As we experience each section of God's organic salvation, we go up level by level until we become beings in the New Jerusalem—Rom. 5:10, 17, 21; 8:10, 6, 11; Rev. 22:1-2; cf. Jer. 18:15; Micah 5:2:
1 我们得了重生，有分于神的生命，成为神的种类，神的儿女，得着神儿子的名分─约一12~13，启二一7，二二14下。
1. We are regenerated by participating in God's life to become God's species, God's children, for God's sonship—John 1:12-13; Rev. 21:7; 22:14b.

3 我们得以更新，有分于神的心思，成为与新耶路撒冷一样的新─林后四16，弗四23。
3. We are renewed by participating in God's mind to become as new as the New Jerusalem—2 Cor. 4:16; Eph. 4:23.
4 我们被变化，有分于神的所是，被作为金、银（珍珠）和宝石的三一神所构成─林前三12，林后三18，罗十二2，启二一18~21。
4. We are transformed by participating in God's being to be constituted with the Triune God as gold, silver (pearl), and precious stones—1 Cor. 3:12; 2 Cor. 3:18; Rom. 12:2; Rev. 21:18-21.
5 我们被模成神长子的形像，有分于神的形像，得有新耶路撒冷显出的样子─罗八28~29，启二一11，四3。
5. We are conformed to the image of the firstborn Son of God by participating in God's image to have the appearance of the New Jerusalem—Rom. 8:28-29; Rev. 21:11; 4:3.

6. We are glorified by participating in God's glory to be completely permeated with the glory of the New Jerusalem—Rom. 8:21; Phil. 3:21; Rev. 21:11.
叁 活出并作出新耶路撒冷，乃是照着新约独一的职事（就是时代的职事）之内在素质与总和，活出并作出神完整的救恩，为着基督身体的实际和新的复兴─腓一19，二13，罗五10，林后四1，弗四11~12、16：
III. To live out and work out the New Jerusalem is to live out and work out God's complete salvation according to the intrinsic essence and totality of the unique New Testament ministry, the ministry of the age, for the reality of the Body of Christ and a new revival—Phil. 1:19; 2:13; Rom. 5:10; 2 Cor. 4:1; Eph. 4:11-12, 16:
一 那灵的职事乃是新约的职事，以活神的灵为神圣奥秘的“墨”，书写在我们心上，而使我们成为神，把我们作成基督的活信─这是神圣启示的最高峰─林后三3、6、8、18，四1，赛四二6，四九6，诗四五1~2：
A. The ministry of the Spirit is the ministry of the new covenant to deify us by inscribing our hearts with the Spirit of the living God as the divine and mystical "ink," making us the living letters of Christ—this is the highest peak of the divine revelation—2 Cor. 3:3, 6, 8, 18; 4:1; Isa. 42:6; 49:6; Psa. 45:1-2:
1 借着那灵的职事，我们被“基督化”，成为生命的城和基督的新妇；因此，那灵作为终极完成的三一神，与新妇作为变化过的三部分召会，成为婚配，过神人调为一灵、卓越绝顶、福乐洋溢的生活─罗五10，启二7，二二1~2、17上。
1. By the ministry of the Spirit, we are "Christified" to become the city of life and the bride of Christ; thus, the Spirit as the consummated Triune God marries the bride as the transformed tripartite church to live a life that is the mingling of God and man as one spirit, a life that is superexcellent and that overflows with blessings and joy—Rom. 5:10; Rev. 2:7; 22:1-2, 17a.
2 我们若要被构成为新约的执事，以建造基督的身体，就必须经历哥林多后书中包罗万有之灵的各个方面─施膏的灵、印涂的灵、作质的灵（一21~22，五5）、书写的灵（三3）、赐生命的灵（6）、供职的灵（8）、使人自由的灵（17）、变化人的灵（18）和传输的灵（十三14）。─引用经文
2. In order to be constituted the ministers of the new covenant for the building up of the Body of Christ, we must experience all the aspects of the all-inclusive Spirit in 2 Corinthians—the anointing Spirit, the sealing Spirit, the pledging Spirit (1:21-22; 5:5), the inscribing Spirit (3:3), the life-giving Spirit (v. 6), the ministering Spirit (v. 8), the freeing Spirit (v. 17), the transforming Spirit (v. 18), and the transmitting Spirit (13:14).
二 义的职事乃是基督的职事，祂是我们客观的义，使我们得称义，也是我们主观的义，借那灵变化的工作，“刺绣”到我们里面，使我们活出基督，并作基督真正的彰显─这就是神人生活─三9，诗四五13~14，罗八4，诗二三3：
B. The ministry of righteousness is the ministry of Christ as our objective righteousness for our justification and as our subjective righteousness "embroidered" into us by the transforming work of the Spirit for the living out and genuine expression of Christ— this is the God-man living—3:9; Psa. 45:13-14; Rom. 8:4; Psa. 23:3:
1 借着义的职事，我们接受基督作我们客观的义，并享受祂作我们主观的义，好使我们成为新耶路撒冷，在新天新地里作义的新造─林前一30，腓三9，彼后三13，参赛三三22。
1. By the ministry of righteousness, we receive Christ as our objective righteousness and enjoy Him as our subjective righteousness to become the New Jerusalem as the new creation of righteousness in the new heaven and new earth—1 Cor. 1:30; Phil. 3:9; 2 Pet. 3:13; cf. Isa. 33:22.
2 客观的义（所赐给我们的基督）带进恩典（我们所享受的基督），而恩典带进主观的义（我们所活出的基督）─罗五1~2、17~18，路十五22~23。
2. Objective righteousness (Christ given to us) issues in grace (Christ enjoyed by us), and grace issues in subjective righteousness (Christ lived out of us)—Rom. 5:1-2, 17-18; Luke 15:22-23.
3 恩典的能力运行在我们里面，产生主观的义，使我们与神、与人甚至与自己都是对的；它不仅征服罪，也胜过在我们这人里面的撒但、罪和死，使我们在生命中作王─提后二1，罗五17、21。
3. The power of grace operates in us and produces subjective righteousness, making us right with God, with others, and even with ourselves; it not only subdues sin but also overcomes Satan, sin, and death in our being, causing us to reign in life—2 Tim. 2:1; Rom. 5:17, 21.
4 我们所接受，使我们得称义的义是客观的，使我们满足公义之神的要求，而得胜圣徒的义是主观的，使他们满足得胜基督的要求─启二二14，十九7~8。
4. The righteousness we receive for our justification is objective and enables us to meet the requirements of the righteous God, whereas the righteousnesses of the overcoming saints are subjective and enable them to meet the requirements of the overcoming Christ—Rev. 22:14; 19:7-8.
三 和好的职事乃是借着赦罪使世人与基督和好的职事，为着他们法理的救赎；也是使信徒与基督和好的职事，使他们成为活在灵里，在至圣所里的人，为着他们生机的救恩─这是按着神牧养人─林后五18~21，彼前五1~6，来十三20：
C. The ministry of reconciliation is the ministry of reconciling the world to Christ through the forgiveness of sins for their judicial redemption and the reconciling of the believers to Christ that they might be persons who live in the spirit, in the Holy of Holies, for their organic salvation—this is shepherding people according to God—2 Cor. 5:18-21; 1 Pet. 5:1-6; Heb. 13:20:
1 主当前的恢复，乃是要把我们带进诗篇二十三篇里基督那是灵的牧养的实际里，这是在诗篇二十二篇里基督救赎之死与产生召会之复活的结果，也是在诗篇二十四篇里基督来作王建立祂的国度，得以成就的因素。─引用经文
1. The Lord's present recovery is to bring us into the reality of Christ's pneumatic shepherding in Psalm 23 as the issue of His redeeming death and church-producing resurrection in Psalm 22 and as the accomplishing factor of His coming as the King to establish His kingdom in Psalm 24.
2 借着和好的职事，我们被牧养到神里面，享受祂作生命水的泉，使我们成为永远的锡安这团体的至圣所，就是神所在的地方─启七14、17，十四1，二一16、22，诗二十2，二四1、3、7~10，四八2，五十2，八七2，一二五1，结四八35下。
2. By the ministry of reconciliation, we are shepherded into God to enjoy Him as the springs of waters of life so that we may become the eternal Zion as the corporate Holy of Holies, the place where God is—Rev. 7:14, 17; 14:1; 21:16, 22; Psa. 20:2; 24:1, 3, 7-10; 48:2; 50:2; 87:2; 125:1; Ezek. 48:35b.
3 和好的职事乃是使徒的职事，与基督天上的职事合作，以牧养神的群羊，为要按照神永远的经纶，建造基督的身体，终极完成新耶路撒冷─约二一15~17，徒二十28~29，启一12~13。
3. The ministry of reconciliation is the apostolic ministry in cooperation with Christ's heavenly ministry to shepherd the flock of God for building up the Body of Christ to consummate the New Jerusalem according to God's eternal economy—John 21:15-17; Acts 20:28-29; Rev. 1:12-13.
肆 主的恢复把我们带回到新约独一的职事；这职事（林后三18，四1）有以下的特征：─引用经文
IV. The Lord's recovery brings us back to the unique ministry of the New Testament; this ministry (2 Cor. 3:18; 4:1) has the following characteristics:

A. It ministers the healthy teaching of God's economy and wars the good warfare against the different and strange teachings of the dissenters with the strange fire of man's natural enthusiasm, natural affection, natural strength, and natural ability—1 Tim. 1:3-4, 18; Heb. 13:9; 2 Tim. 2:1-15; Lev. 10:1-11.
二 产生众地方召会作金灯台，成为耶稣的见证，有同样的素质、样子和彰显，并且凭一位灵建造基督独一的身体，把我们众人成全到三一神的一里─启一10~13、20，约十七23，弗四1~4、11~13，亚四6。
B. It produces the local churches as the golden lampstands to be the testimony of Jesus with the same essence, appearance, and expression, and it builds up the one Body of Christ by the one Spirit, perfecting all of us into the oneness of the Triune God—Rev. 1:10-13, 20; John 17:23; Eph. 4:1-4, 11-13; Zech. 4:6.
三 预备得胜者，使他们在基督这“君尊的住处”里，并在众地方召会这些“象牙宫”里，成为基督的新妇，祂的“王后”，好终极完成新耶路撒冷，就是“王宫”；把我们许配基督，激起我们在那向着基督的单纯和纯洁里爱祂，使我们成为祂的王后─诗四五1~15，启二一2、9~10，林后十一2~3。
C. It prepares the overcomers to be Christ's bride, His "queen," in Himself as the "royal abode" and in the local churches as the "palaces of ivory" to consummate in the New Jerusalem as the "King's palace"; it betroths us to Christ, stirring up our love for Him in the simplicity and the purity toward Christ, to make us His queen—Psa. 45:1-15; Rev. 21:2, 9-10; 2 Cor. 11:2-3.

五 将基督作为恩典、真理、生命和那灵分赐到我们里面，使我们得着对基督的启示，对基督有享受，并在生命中长大，好使我们在生命中得救，而在生命中作王─一12、24，腓一25，罗五10、17。
E. It dispenses Christ as grace, truth, life, and the Spirit into us for our revelation of Christ, our enjoyment of Christ, and our growth in life that we may be saved in life to reign in life—1:12, 24; Phil. 1:25; Rom. 5:10, 17.
六 借着真理的话，并借着话中之水的洗涤，圣别我们；凭那是灵之基督顾惜并保养的同在，牧养我们─约十七17，弗五26、29~30，启一12~13。
F. It sanctifies us through the word of the truth and the washing of the water in the word; it also shepherds us with the cherishing and nourishing presence of the pneumatic Christ— John 17:17; Eph. 5:26, 29-30; Rev. 1:12-13.
七 拆毁宗教阶级制度，将我们调和为一，使我们都成为基督的弟兄、基督的奴仆和基督的肢体，实际地成为基督的一个身体；拆毁丘坛，唯独高举基督，使基督在召会中作一切─太二三8~12，林前十二24，申十二1~3，林后四5，十3~5，西三10~11。
G. It tears down hierarchy and blends us into one, making us all brothers of Christ, slaves of Christ, and members of Christ to be the one Body of Christ in reality; it also tears down the high places and exalts Christ alone to make Christ everything in the church—Matt. 23:8-12; 1 Cor. 12:24; Deut. 12:1-3; 2 Cor. 4:5; 10:3-5; Col. 3:10-11.
八 使我们众人尽功用，实行神命定之路，并引领我们，使我们无论羔羊往哪里去，都跟随祂，好将国度的福音传遍整个居人之地─罗十二4~5，弗四11~12，启十四4，太二四14。
H. It brings all of us into function to practice the God-ordained way and leads us to follow the Lamb wherever He may go for the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom to the whole inhabited earth—Rom. 12:4-5; Eph. 4:11-12; Rev. 14:4; Matt. 24:14.
九 将我们带进新的复兴，活出新耶路撒冷并作出新耶路撒冷，好得着那作为神经纶最高峰之基督身体的实际─林后三6、8~9，五18~20，罗十二4~5，弗四4~6、16。
