1Ⅶ The good land is a land of pomegranates, typifying the fullness of life, the abundance and beauty of life, and the expression of the riches of life—Deut. 8:8; Exo. 28:33-34; 1 Kings 7:18-20:
2Ａ Pomegranates and golden bells were on the bottom part of the high priest’s robe, which signifies the church—Exo. 28:33-34.
3二 召会该在人性里满了生命，这就是用麻作的石榴的意义。
3Ｂ The church should be full of life in her humanity; this is the significance of pomegranates made of linen.
4三 召会有人性为着彰显生命的丰满，也有神性为着金铃的声音：
4Ｃ The church has humanity for the expression of the fullness of life and also divinity for the sounding of the golden bells:
5１ 生命的丰满彰显在召会的人性里，而警告的声音彰显在召会的神性（金铃）里—35节。
5１ The fullness of life is expressed in the church’s humanity, but the voice of warning is expressed in the church’s divinity (the golden bells)—v. 35.
6２ 首先我们有生命丰满的彰显，然后有金铃的声音，就是出自召会之神性的说话。
6２ We first have the expression of the fullness of life and then the sounding of the golden bells, that is, the speaking from the divinity of the church.
7３ 彰显在我们人性里生命的华美，以及来自金铃之神圣的声音，乃是正确召会生活的标记。
7３ The beauty of life expressed in our humanity and the divine sounding from the golden bells are signs of a proper church life.
8Ｄ The two hundred pomegranates surrounding the capitals at the top of the pillars in the temple signify the expression of the riches of life—1 Kings 7:18-20; 2 Chron. 3:15-16; Jer. 52:22-23; Rev. 3:12:
9１ Those who judge themselves (bronze) and regard themselves as nothing will be able to bear responsibility in full in the midst of an intermixed and complicated situation (nets of checker work and wreaths of chain work) because they live not by themselves but by faith in God (lily work); thus, they express the riches of life two hundredfold (pomegranates)—1 Kings 7:15-22.
12ｂ The fact that four of every one hundred pomegranates were hidden indicates that our natural being, our natural life, and our self must be concealed.
13ｃ 当我们天然的人消失时，我们就有九十六个石榴，就是在属灵空气的实际中基督生命丰富的彰显。
13ｃ When our natural being disappears, we have the ninety-six pomegranates, the rich expression of the life of Christ in the reality of the spiritual air.
16１ We cannot serve the Lord or help others without the Holy Spirit—Acts 6:3.
17２ 我们要服事主并帮助别人，就必须被那灵充满；唯有当我们被那灵充满时，我们才能尊重神并尊重人。
17２ In order to serve the Lord and help others, we must be filled with the Spirit; only when we are filled with the Spirit can we honor God and honor others.
18Ｂ When we minister Christ to others, supplying them with oil, we are supplying them with God (gold)—Zech. 4:11-12:
19１ 我们都该是橄榄树，从我们自己里面流出神来，流到别人里面。
19１ We all should be olive trees emptying God from ourselves into others.
20２ 这样，借着那些作橄榄树流出神的人，需要的人就得着油的供应。
20２ In this way oil will be provided to the needy ones by those who are olive trees out of which God is flowing.
21三 我们作为基督徒乃是橄榄树，不是作个别的树，乃是作基督这独一橄榄树的枝子—11~12节：
21Ｃ As Christians, we are olive trees, not in the sense of being separate trees but in the sense of being branches of Christ, the unique olive tree—vv. 11-12:
22１ Although Christ is the unique olive tree, out from Him many branches, many shoots, have issued forth; these branches, or shoots, are the many olive trees on earth today.
23２ As branches of Christ, the unique olive tree, we need to supply others with oil, that is, with the Spirit, so that they may be enlivened for God’s unique testimony.
