2A The Lord makes us pillars by transforming us, that is, by carrying away our natural element and replacing it with His divine essence—Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18:
31 启示录三章十二节里“叫”的意思,就是将我们构成一样东西,以创造的方式构造我们。
31 The meaning of make in Revelation 3:12 is to constitute us into something, to construct us in a creative way.
42 在今天的召会生活中,主正在将祂自己作到我们里面,将我们作成、构成神殿中的柱子。
42 In the church life today, the Lord is working Himself into us and making us, constituting us, into pillars in the temple of God.
5二 在启示录二十一章二十二节我们看见,在新耶路撒冷里,三一神自己要成为殿:
5B In Revelation 21:22 we see that in the New Jerusalem the Triune God Himself will be the temple:
91 These saints sometimes have the consciousness that the church is actually nothing other than the Triune God, as indicated by the golden lampstands as a symbol of the church—Rev. 1:12, 20.
102 The pillars in the church today are pillars in the Triune God; in the coming age these overcoming believers will be pillars in the temple of God, which is God Himself—3:12a; 21:22.
12D To overcome in the church in Philadelphia is to keep what we have received in the Lord’s recovery to the end; if we do this, the Lord will make us a pillar in the temple of God—Rev. 3:11-12a.
