2第五篇 约瑟一生中所见成熟生命掌权的一面
2
3贰 约瑟是多结果子的树枝（创四九22），预表基督是枝子（赛十一1～2），借着祂的信徒作祂的枝子（约十五1、5），将神伸展出去；在创世记四十九章二十二节里，泉源表征神这多结果子的源头（诗三六9，耶二13）；枝条探出墙外，表征基督的信徒作衪的枝子，将基督扩展出去，越过各种限制，在一切环境中显大基督（腓一20，四22，门10）：
3
4一 约瑟登宝座时得着荣耀并领受恩赐（创四一42），预表基督在祂的升天里得着荣耀（来二9）并领受恩赐（诗六八18，徒二33）：
4
51 戒指、衣服和金链，描绘基督升上诸天时所领受的恩赐，祂已将这些恩赐传给召会——创四一42：
5
6a 打印的戒指，表征圣灵在基督的信徒里面和身上作印记——徒二33，弗一13，四30，参路十五22。
6
7b 衣服表征基督作我们客观的义，使我们在神面前得称义（林前一30，参诗五9、13，路十五22），并且作我们活出来的主观的义，使我们够资格有分于羔羊的婚娶（腓三9，诗四五14，启十九7～9）。
7
8c 金链表征赐给顺从之人圣灵的美丽，彰显于服从上（参徒五32）；戴链子的颈项表征已被征服并制伏的意志，以服从神的命令（创四一42，参歌一10，箴一8～9）。
8
92 照着属灵经历的顺序，首先我们接受盖印的灵，使我们得着救恩；然后我们接受义袍，开始活基督（加二20，腓一20～21上）；为着活基督，我们的颈项必须戴上链子，我们的意志必须被圣灵征服并制伏。
9
10二 约瑟从死牢里复起，并登高位之后，就娶亚西纳为妻；亚西纳描绘基督在被以色列人弃绝的期间，从外邦世界娶来的召会（创四一45）；约瑟给长子起名叫玛拿西（意，使之忘了），给次子起名叫以法莲（意，加倍繁衍）；约瑟宣告说，“神使我忘了一切的困苦，和我父的全家”，又宣告说，“神使我在受苦之地〔加倍〕繁衍”（51～52）。

11创四九22 “约瑟是多结果子的树枝，是泉源旁多结果子的枝子；他的枝条探出墙外。”
11Gen. 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a fountain; his branches run over the wall.
12四一42 “法老就摘下手上打印的戒指，戴在约瑟的手上，给他穿上细麻衣，把金链戴在他的颈项上。”
1241:42 And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put a gold chain around his neck.
13约瑟是多结果子的树枝，预表基督是枝子，（赛十一1，）借着祂的信徒作祂的枝子，（约十五1，5，）将神伸展出去。创世记四十九章二十二节的泉源表征神这多结果子的源头；（诗三六9，耶二13；）枝条探出墙外，表征基督的信徒作祂的枝子，将基督扩展出去，越过各种限制，在一切环境中显大基督。（腓一20，四22，门10。）（圣经恢复本，创四九22注1。）
13Joseph as a fruitful bough typifies Christ as the branch (Isa. 11:1) for the branching out of God through His believers as His branches (John 15:1, 5). In Genesis 49:22 the fountain signifies God, the source of fruitfulness (Psa. 36:9; Jer. 2:13), and the branches’ running over the wall signifies that Christ’s believers as His branches spread Christ over every restriction, magnifying Him in all circumstances (Phil. 1:20; 4:22; Philem. 10). (Gen. 49:22, footnote 1)
14约瑟登宝座时，得着了荣耀并且领受恩赐，预表基督在祂的升天里得着荣耀，（来二9，）并领受恩赐。（诗六八18，徒二33。）戒指、衣服和金链，描绘基督升上诸天时所领受的恩赐，祂已将这些恩赐传给召会。打印的戒指，表征圣灵在基督的信徒里面和身上作印记。（徒二33，弗一13，四30，参路十五22。）衣服表征基督作我们客观的义，使我们在神面前得称义，（林前一30，参诗四五9，13，路十五22，）并且作我们活出来的主观的义，使我们够资格有分于羔羊的婚娶。（诗四五14与注1，启十九7～9与8注2。）金链表征赐给顺从之人圣灵的美丽，彰显于服从上。（参徒五32。）（创四一42注1。）
14In his receiving glory and gifts in his enthronement, Joseph typifies Christ, who received glory (Heb. 2:9) and gifts (Psa. 68:18; Acts 2:33) in His ascension. The ring, the garments, and the gold chain portray the gifts that Christ received in His ascension to the heavens, which gifts He has passed on to the church. The signet ring signifies the Holy Spirit as a seal within and upon Christ’s believers (Acts 2:33; Eph. 1:13; 4:30; cf. Luke 15:22). The garments signify Christ as our objective righteousness for our justification before God (1 Cor. 1:30; cf. Psa. 45:9, 13; Luke 15:22) and as our subjective righteousness lived out of us that we may be qualified to participate in the marriage of the Lamb (Psa. 45:14 and footnote 1; Rev. 19:7-9 and footnote 82). The golden chain signifies the beauty of the Holy Spirit given for obedience expressed in submission (cf. Acts 5:32). (Gen. 41:42, footnote 1)

15照着属灵经历的顺序，首先我们接受盖印的灵，使我们得着救恩；然后我们接受义袍，开始活基督。（加二20，腓一20～21上。）为着活基督，我们的颈项必须戴上链子，我们的意志必须被圣灵征服。（圣经恢复本，创四一42注1。）
15According to the sequence of spiritual experience, we first receive the sealing Spirit for salvation; then we receive the garment of righteousness and begin to live Christ (Gal. 2:20; Phil. 1:20-21a). In order for us to live Christ, our neck must be chained, our will must be subdued, by the Holy Spirit. (Gen. 41:42, footnote 1)
16当以色列人不顺从时，主说他们是硬着颈项的百姓。（出三二9。）…戴着链子的颈项，表征被征服并降服以顺从神命令的意志。当你的颈项这样被征服并降服时，就是戴上了链子。…行传五章三十二节说，那灵是赐给顺从神的人。因此，那灵作为恩赐赐下，不仅是为着得救，也是为着顺从。
16When the children of Israel were disobedient, the Lord referred to them as a stiff-necked people (Exo. 32:9)…The chained neck signifies a will that has been conquered and subdued to obey God’s commandment…When your neck has been conquered and subdued in this way, it is chained…Acts 5:32 says that the Spirit is given to those who obey God. Hence, the Spirit is given not only as a gift for salvation, but also for obedience.
17在创世记四十一章四十五节，我们看见约瑟娶了安城祭司波提非拉的女儿亚西纳为妻。约瑟的妻子是异教徒，是埃及人。约瑟在被弟兄们弃绝的期间娶了她。这也是一个预表，描绘基督如何在祂被以色列人弃绝的时候，从外邦人中娶召会为妻。当祂与外邦人在一起时，从他们中间得了一个妻子。…亚西纳描绘基督在被以色列人弃绝的期间，从外邦世界娶来的召会。基督在被弃绝的期间，来到外邦世界，留在那里，并且从外邦世界得着召会。
17In Genesis 41:45 we see that Joseph took as his wife Asenath, the daughter of Potipherah, priest of On. Joseph’s wife was a heathen, an Egyptian. Joseph took her during the time he was rejected by his brothers. This also is a type portraying how Christ has taken the Gentiles as His wife during the time of His rejection by the Israelites. As He was staying with the Gentiles, He obtained a wife from among them. Asenath portrays the church taken out of the Gentile world by Christ during His rejection by the children of Israel. During the time of this rejection, Christ came to the Gentile world, stayed there, and received the church out of the Gentile world.
18约瑟从他的妻子亚西纳生了两个儿子，玛拿西和以法莲。玛拿西这名的意思是“使之忘了”。在玛拿西出生时，约瑟说，“神使我忘了一切的困苦，和我父的全家。”（51。）这指明玛拿西的出生，使约瑟忘了一切的患难。…这启示当召会有生产时，基督就要宣告祂忘了祂的患难。
18Of his wife, Asenath, Joseph begot two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. The name Manasseh means, “making to forget.” When Manasseh was born, Joseph said, “God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s house” (41:51). This indicates that with the birth of Manasseh Joseph forgot all his afflictions… This reveals that when the church is productive, Christ will declare that He has forgotten His afflictions.
19约瑟的次子名叫以法莲，意思是“繁衍”。（52。）在以法莲出生时，约瑟说，“神使我在受苦之地繁衍。”…当我们传福音并结果子，基督就要喜乐并宣告：“不再有患难了。看看所有的果子！”（创世记生命读经，一七三一至一七三二、一七三五至一七三六页。）
19The name of Joseph’s second son was Ephraim, which means “Fruitful” (41:52). When Ephraim was born, Joseph said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”…When we preach the gospel and produce fruit, Christ will be happy and declare, “There is no more affliction. But look at all the fruit!” (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 1450-1451, 1453-1454)

今日要点
21主题：成熟的生命借着召会延展出去
21
22引经：创四九22，创四一42
22
231.成熟生命借着召会延展出去：
23
24A. 创四一40~52与创四九22雅各祝福约瑟的话放在一起，就可看见这成熟生命要借着召会延展出去的图画；在四九22说到，约瑟是多结果子的树枝，是泉源旁多结果子的枝子，他的枝条探出墙外。
24
25B. 「多结果子的树枝」预表基督是枝子，借着祂的信徒住在祂里面作枝子，将神伸展出去，「泉源」表征神这多结果子的源头；「枝条探出墙外」表征基督的信徒作为祂的枝子，将基督扩展出去，越过各种限制，在一切环境中显大基督。
25
262.约瑟成熟生命的祝福如何实化在召会：
26
27A. 这个祝福也借创四一40~52，记载约瑟登宝座，得着荣耀，领受恩赐，并取亚西纳为妻子，又给儿子起名等记载，指向基督与召会，约瑟领受戒指、衣服和金链，表征信徒得救接受盖印的灵，并接受义袍活基督，为此颈项戴上表征意志被征服的金链。
27
28B. 作为约瑟的妻子，埃及人亚西纳表征外邦世界娶来的召会，这描绘基督如何在祂被以色列人弃绝的时候，从外邦人娶召会为妻，而关于给次子起名「以法莲」，意加倍繁衍，因此，我们可以看见约瑟成熟生命的祝福如何实化在召会，加倍繁衍。
28
29应用：我们已经得着救恩，现今需要操练活在灵里，接受义袍，过活基督的生活，为此我们的颈项需要戴上链子，在召会生活与家庭生活中，操练意志被圣灵所征服。
