历代志、以斯拉记、尼希米记、以斯帖记结晶读经
标 语
旧约里十二卷历史书（约书亚记、士师记、路得记、撒母耳记上下、列王纪上下、历代志上下、以斯拉记、尼希米记、以斯帖记）的内在意义，乃是启示神在人历史中的行动，为神预备道路，以完成祂永远的经纶，这是借着祂成为人，使人在生命和性情上成为神（只是无分于神格），好产生并建造召会作基督生机的身体，终极完成新耶路撒冷，作祂终极的彰显。
The intrinsic significance of the twelve historical books in the Old Testament (Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther) is the revelation that God's move in man's history prepares the way for God to carry out His eternal economy by His becoming a man that man may become God in life and in nature (but not in the Godhead), for the producing and building up of the church as the organic Body of Christ to consummate the New Jerusalem for His ultimate expression.
以斯拉用属天的真理把以色列人重新构成；在主的恢复里我们需要许多以斯拉，他们是祭司教师，就是那些与神接触，被神浸透，与神是一，被神充满，并精通神话语的人—这种人才够资格在主的恢复里作教师。
Ezra reconstituted the people of Israel with heavenly truths; in the Lord's recovery we need Ezras, priestly teachers, who contact God, who are saturated with God, who are one with God, who are filled with God, and who are skilled in the Word of God— the kind of person who is qualified to be a teacher in the recovery.
我们需要凭基督而活，并活出基督，因而显大基督，好使我们能建造召会作神的彰显；我们要彰显神，就需要天天借着话中之水的洗涤，被圣化并得更新，好献给我们的新郎基督，作祂纯洁、荣耀、彰显神的新妇。
We need to live by Christ and to live out Christ, thus magnifying Christ, so that we can build up the church as the expression of God; in order to express God, we need to be daily sanctified and renewed by the washing of the water in the word to be presented to Christ, our Bridegroom, as His pure, glorious, God-expressing bride.
为着建造召会作基督的身体，需要按照四项原则从事属灵的争战—不能用属肉体的兵器；要守住升天的地位；用属灵的兵器，这些属灵的兵器有能力攻倒仇敌坚固的营垒；领会祷告乃是争战，并在天的境界里，从神的宝座发出争战的祷告。
For the building up of the church as the Body of Christ, there is the need for spiritual warfare carried out according to four principles—not using fleshly weapons, keeping the position of ascension, using spiritual weapons, which are powerful to overthrow the strongholds of the enemy, and understanding that prayer is warfare and uttering prayers of warfare in the heavenly realm and from the throne of God.
