编组成军以保护神的见证，并为着祂在地上的行动争战，所需要的长大与成熟

第二篇　编组成军以保护神的见证，并为着祂在地上的行动争战，所需要的长大与成熟
第十四周　周一
纲目
1壹 民数记着重于蒙神救赎、领受启示并经过训练的以色列人，如何编组成军，以保护神的见证，并为着祂在地上的行动争战— 一2~3、19~20：
1Ⅰ The emphasis of Numbers is how the Israelites, who had been redeemed, received revelation, and been trained by God, were formed into an army to protect God's testimony and fight for His move on earth—1:2-3, 19-20:
2一 神所造的地已经被撒但毁坏，因此神需要得着一班人，为着祂在地上的行动被编组成军—3节。
2Ａ Since the earth created by God was ruined by Satan, God needs to gain a group of people to be formed into an army for His move on earth—v. 3.
3二 民数记给我们看见，神如何把祂所救赎的人编组成军，围绕并保护祂的见证—二1~2、32、34：
3Ｂ Numbers shows how God formed His redeemed people into an army to surround and protect His testimony—2:1-2, 32, 34:
4１ 在民数记里，特别是在头四章，以色列人按着神的安排编组成军。
4１ In Numbers, particularly in the first four chapters, the Israelites were formed into an army according to God's arrangement.
5２ 以色列人要编组成军，就需要被数点；数点之后以色列人才能编组成军— 一2~3、19~20。
5２ In order for the children of Israel to be formed into an army, they needed to be numbered; only after being numbered could the Israelites be formed into an army—1:2-3, 19-20.
6贰 为了“能出去打仗”，以色列男子需要至少年满二十岁；这与长大、成熟有关—3节：
6Ⅱ In order”to go forth for military service,” an Israelite male needed to be at least twenty years old; this is related to growth and maturity—v. 3:
7一 当时以色列人大约有二百万，但二十岁以上能出去打仗的，只有六十万零三千五百五十人—45~46节。
7Ａ There were approximately two million Israelites, but only 603,550 were twenty years old and upward and were able to go forth for military service—vv. 45-46.
8二 地上信徒虽多，其中只有少数人生命成熟到一个地步，能为神的见证争战—弗四12、15~16，六10~12。
8Ｂ Even though there are a great many believers on earth, only a small number among them are mature in life to the extent that they are able to fight for God's testimony—Eph. 4:12, 15-16; 6:10-12.
9三 民数记提到军队服役的年龄，就是二十岁以上；但这卷书没有提到退役年龄：
9Ｃ Numbers mentions the age for those enlisting in the army, which was twenty years old and upward, yet this book does not mention the age for retirement:
10１ 神的军队是强壮的，就像迦勒虽已八十多岁，却仍像四十多岁时一样，在神面前刚强，能争战—书十四6、10~11。
10１ God's army was strong, just as Caleb was able to fight and was as strong before God in his eighties as he was in his forties—Josh. 14:6, 10-11.
11２ 这表征我们必须兼有生命与生命的成熟，才能被神数点。
11２ This signifies that we must have both life and maturity in life in order to be numbered by God.
12四 按照民数记，小孩和妇女都没有被数点：
12Ｄ According to Numbers, neither children nor women were numbered:
13１ 小孩表征幼稚，妇女表征软弱。
13１ Children signify immaturity, and women signify weakness.
14２ 只有二十岁以上的男丁能参与争战，这表征在信徒中，只有生命成熟并刚强的才能从事属灵争战。
14２ That only males who were twenty years old and upward were able to engage in warfare signifies that among the believers, only those who are mature in life and strong are able to fight in spiritual warfare.
15五 被数点的人需要经过摩西、亚伦及十二支派首领的认可— 一4、16~18：
15Ｅ Those who were numbered needed to be confirmed by Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the twelve tribes—1:4, 16-18:
16１ 摩西表征基督是身体的头，运用祂的权柄；亚伦表征基督是大祭司，执行祂的祭司职分；十二支派的首领表征召会中的长老和领头的人—西一18，来八1，徒十四23：
16１ Moses signifies Christ as the Head of the Body who executes His authority, Aaron signifies Christ as the High Priest who exercises His priesthood, and the leaders of the twelve tribes signify the elders and leading ones in the church—Col. 1:18; Heb. 8:1; Acts 14:23:
17ａ 这指明神子民的数点是根据生命和生命的成熟，以及属灵权柄的认可。
17ａ This indicates that the numbering of God's people is based on life and maturity in life and is confirmed by spiritual authority.
18ｂ 编组成为神的军队需要生命、成熟和属灵权柄的认可。
18ｂ Life, maturity, and the confirmation of spiritual authority are required for the formation of God's army.
19２ 以色列人要被数点，就需要在他们宗族生命的交通里，也必须在生命里长大达到成熟，这由二十岁所表征—民一1~16。
19２ In order to be numbered, the children of Israel were required to be in the fellowship of the life of their fathers' households and had to grow in life unto maturity, which is signified by the age of twenty—Num. 1:1-16.

20民一3 凡以色列中，从二十岁以上能出去打仗的，你和亚伦要按他们的军队数点。
20
21弗四15 唯在爱里持守着真实，我们就得以在一切事上长到祂，就是元首基督里面。
21
22数点根据三件基本的事：第一，根据家谱，是关乎生命；第二，根据年龄，是关乎成熟；第三，根据摩西、亚伦和十二个族长的鉴定，这是关乎印证。神子民的编组，以今天的话说，就是配搭；乃是根据三件事：生命、成熟和承认（印证）。这三者必须齐备，神子民才能有正确的编组，也就是有正确的配搭（民数记概论上册，二三至二四页）。
22
信息选读
23家谱与生命有关；年龄与长大成熟有关。一个人即使是亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的后裔，但生命若没有成熟也不可被数点。凡满了一个月的，就算为以色列人，那是关乎生命；但要被编组成军，就要二十岁以上才可以，这是关乎长大成熟。当时以色列人也许有二百万，但二十岁以上能出去打仗的，只有六十万零三千五百五十人（民一45~46）。今天在召会中也是这样，信徒有许多，但生命成熟到一个地步，能为神的见证争战的，只是一部分。换句话说，不是所有受浸得救的圣徒都成熟到能为神的见证争战。
23
24在争战的事上，民数记提到服役年龄，就是二十岁以上，却没有提到退役年龄。迦勒八十岁还在争战（书十四6、10~11），摩西在旷野带领以色列人，直到一百二十岁。这说明生命成熟能为神的见证争战的人，是没有年龄限制的，也不该有年龄限制。神的军队一直是强壮的。就像迦勒虽已八十多岁，却仍像四十多岁时一样（7、10~11），在神面前刚强，能争战。这意思是，我们要兼有生命与成熟，才能被神数点。按照民数记，这个数点里没有小孩，也没有妇女；因为小孩代表幼稚，妇女代表软弱。在召会中原则也是这样，有的人得救的年日不少，但是在主里不够刚强，仍然软弱。在争战里只有二十岁以上的男丁，这表征在信徒中，只有生命成熟并刚强的才能从事属灵争战。
24
25被数点的人必须经过承认，也就是需要摩西、亚伦及十二位宗族首领的认可。……在此摩西表征基督是身体的头，运用祂的权柄。亚伦表征基督是大祭司，执行祂的祭司职分。主一面是元首有权柄，一面是祭司，来看顾、察验并鉴定神的子民。此外，还有十二个宗族首领，表征召会中的长老、领头的人。这给我们看见，数点是根据生命和生命的成熟，还要加上属灵权柄的鉴定。
25
26今天在召会中有基督元首的权柄，也有基督祭司的职分。当召会情形正常时，作长老的在召会中领头，学习活在神面前，鉴定并判断人有没有生命，够不够成熟，够不够刚强（民数记概论上册，一九至二二页）。
