7启二一2 我又看见圣城新耶路撒冷由神那里从天而降,预备好了,就如新妇妆饰整齐,等候丈夫。
7Rev. 21:2 And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
8十九7 我们要喜乐欢腾,将荣耀归与祂;因为羔羊婚娶的时候到了,新妇也自己预备好了。
819:7 Let us rejoice and exult, and let us give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.
9新耶路撒冷是一个新妇,指明她不是一座物质的城,乃是一个团体的人位。对基督,她是新妇,为叫祂得满足(圣经恢复本,启二一2注3)。
9The New Jerusalem is a bride, indicating that she is not a material city but a corporate person. To Christ she is a bride for His satisfaction. (Rev. 21:2, footnote 3)
10圣经的主题乃是宇宙对偶的神圣罗曼史;男方是神自己,女方是神所拣选并救赎的人(创二21~24赛五四5耶二2三14三一32结二三5何二719太九15约三29)。在新旧两约,神将祂的选民比作自己的配偶(赛五四6耶三1结十六8何二19林后十一2弗五31~32)和居所(出二九45~46民五3结四三79诗六八18林前三16~17六19林后六16提前三15)。配偶是在爱里使神得着满足。作基督新妇的新耶路撒冷,是出自她的“丈夫”基督,而成为祂的配偶,正如夏娃是出自她的丈夫亚当,而成为亚当的配偶(创二21~24)(新约总论第十四册,二九六页)。
10The subject of the Bible is a divine romance of a universal couple; the male is God Himself, and the female is God’s chosen and redeemed people (Gen. 2:21-24; Isa. 54:5; Jer. 2:2; 3:14; 31:32; Ezek. 23:5; Hosea 2:7, 19; Matt. 9:15; John 3:29). In both the Old Testament and the New Testament, God likens His chosen people to a spouse (Isa. 54:6; Jer. 3:1; Ezek. 16:8; Hosea 2:19; 2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5:31-32) and a dwelling place for Himself (Exo. 29:45-46; Num. 5:3; Ezek. 43:7, 9; Psa. 68:18; 1 Cor. 3:16-17; 6:19; 2 Cor. 6:16; 1 Tim. 3:15). The spouse is for His satisfaction in love. As the bride of Christ, the New Jerusalem comes out of Christ, her Husband, and becomes His counterpart, just as Eve came out of Adam, her husband, and became his counterpart (Gen. 2:21-24). (The Conclusion of the New Testament, p. 4363)

11在召会时代,我们许配给基督(林后十一2);婚娶之日将是千年国时代(启十九7);婚姻生活将是在新耶路撒冷里,直到永远(二一29~10)。
11In the church age we are betrothed to Christ (2 Cor. 11:2). The wedding day will be the age of the millennial kingdom (Rev. 19:7). The marriage life will be in the New Jerusalem for eternity (21:2, 9-10).
12按其人性说,新耶路撒冷是羔羊—救赎之神—的人性妻子,有神的生命和性情(2、9)。这属人的妻子能与神圣的人位成为婚配,因为她有神圣的生命和性情。这使她有资格与救赎的神相配。……因为她是属人的,她就能成为救赎之神的人性妻子。因为她是神圣的,她就能与祂这神圣的人位成为婚配。……按其神性说,新耶路撒冷是蒙神救赎之选民的神性丈夫(救赎之神在祂终极完成的具体化身基督里,有人的生命和性情)。妻子是属人的,丈夫是神圣的。属人的妻子能与神圣的人位成为婚配,因为她有神圣人位的性情和生命。同一个实体是丈夫又是妻子,因为新耶路撒冷是神圣的,神圣的神乃是其构成的一部分。……新耶路撒冷按其人性是妻子,按其神性乃是丈夫。但作为神圣的丈夫,新耶路撒冷有属人的生命和性情。在其人性和神性里,新耶路撒冷乃是一对配偶,妻子和丈夫。
12According to its humanity, the New Jerusalem is the human wife (with the divine life and nature) of the Lamb, the redeeming God (vv. 2, 9). This human wife can marry a divine person because she has the divine life and nature. This qualifies her to match the redeeming God…Because she is human, she can be the redeeming God’s human wife. Because she is divine, she can marry Him, a divine person. According to its divinity, the New Jerusalem is the divine Husband (the redeeming God in His consummated embodiment, Christ, with the human life and nature) of God’s redeemed elect. The wife is human, and the Husband is divine. A human wife can marry a divine person because she has the divine person’s nature and life. The same entity can be both a husband and a wife because the New Jerusalem is divine. The divine God is a part of its constituent…The New Jerusalem is the wife according to its humanity and the Husband according to its divinity. But as the divine Husband, the New Jerusalem has the human life and nature. In its humanity and in its divinity it is a couple, a wife and a husband.
13基督与作祂妻子的新耶路撒冷将是宇宙的对偶,直到永远〔二二17〕。那是经过过程并终极完成之三一神总和的那灵,与那些如今已完全成熟、作祂新妇的信徒成为一(二一29~10)。经过过程并终极完成之三一神的终极完成,与蒙神重生、变化并荣化之子民的终极完成,要成为宇宙的对偶,彰显三一神,直到永远(11、23)。……基督不可能娶一座物质的城作祂的妻子。这有力地证明,新耶路撒冷不是一座物质的城。……新耶路撒冷作为基督的新妇,不仅是要完成,并且是要装饰的(19)。今天我们需要以父神作其纯金基础、子神作其珍珠门并灵神作其宝石墙,装饰并完成新耶路撒冷。新耶路撒冷乃是用纯金、珍珠、宝石,就是用三一神作元素装饰的。这是终极完成的神圣三一,将祂自己构成到我们里面,使我们成为金、珍珠和宝石,好叫祂得着扩大,作祂永远的彰显,就是新耶路撒冷(新约总论第十四册,二九七至二九九页)。
13Christ and the New Jerusalem as His wife will be a universal couple for eternity [22:17]. The Spirit, who is the totality of the processed and consummated Triune God, becomes one with the believers, who are now fully matured to be the bride (21:2, 9-10). The consummation of the processed and consummated Triune God and the consummation of His regenerated, transformed, and glorified people will be a universal couple expressing the Triune God for eternity (vv. 11, 23). It is impossible for Christ to marry a physical city as His wife. This is a strong proof that the New Jerusalem is not a physical city…The New Jerusalem as the bride of Christ needs to be not only consummated but also adorned (v. 19). Today we need to adorn and consummate the New Jerusalem with God the Father as its golden base, God the Son as its pearl gates, and God the Spirit as its wall of precious stones. The New Jerusalem is adorned with pure gold, pearl, and precious stones, that is, with the Triune God as the elements. This is the consummated Divine Trinity constituting Himself into our being to make us gold, pearl, and precious stones so that He may have an enlargement for His eternal expression, the New Jerusalem. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 4363-4365)

今日要点
15主题:今世预备作祂新妇,等候来世让主迎娶
15
16引经:启二一2启十九7
16
171.新耶路撒冷是新妇,羔羊的妻:
17
18A.启二一2十九7都是说到新耶路撒冷,要如新妇预备好,作为丈夫羔羊的妻子,指明新耶路撒冷不是一座物质的城,乃是一个团体的人位,对基督,她是新妇,为叫基督得着满足,这样的思想贯串圣经。
18
19b.整本圣经乃是宇宙对耦的神圣罗曼史,男方是神自己,女方是神所拣选并救赎的人,从创世记起,夏娃乃是出自她的丈夫亚当,旧约神把自己比作丈夫,祂的选民是祂的配偶,而在新约启示,二人联合成为一体,是指基督与召会说的,到了圣经末了,新耶路撒冷作基督的新妇。
19
202.今世许配、那日迎娶、永世过婚姻生活:
20
21A.就像保罗队哥林多召会信徒表达的嫉妒,今天在召会时代,我们已经「许配」给基督了,而我们需要为着「婚娶」之日,也就是千年国时代预备好自己,而在永世将是在新耶路撒冷里的「婚姻生活」。
21
22B.按其人性说,新耶路撒冷乃是羔羊—救赎之神—的人性妻子,按其神性说,新耶路撒冷乃是蒙神救赎之选民的神性丈夫,属人的妻子有神的生命和性情,能与神圣的人位成为婚配,同一个实体又是丈夫,又是妻子,是一对永世对耦,是人又神,二者成为一。
22
23应用:每天需借着享受主,经历父神圣的性情作为金、子的救赎作为珍珠、以及灵的变化工作作为宝石,而使我们能在今世预备好作新妇,等候来世主的迎娶
