7四 亚拉得王(二一1)、亚摩利人的王(21)和巴珊王(33),是约但河东的“守门者”,为撒但护卫着迦南地,就是黑暗的国:

18太六10 愿你的国来临,愿你的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上。
18Matt. 6:10 Your kingdom come; Your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth.
19西一13 祂拯救了我们脱离黑暗的权势,把我们迁入祂爱子的国里。
19Col. 1:13 Who delivered us out of the authority of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.
20按预表,迦南表征撒但黑暗国度空中、天上的部分。……撒但是这世界的王(约十二31)和空中掌权者的首领(弗二2),有他的权势(徒二六18)和他的使者(太二五41),这些使者是他的从属,就是那些执政的、掌权的和管辖这黑暗世界的(弗六12)。……撒但和他的国与神和神的国,彼此争战,为仇为敌。以前我们是在撒但的国里,但神的救恩已带我们脱离黑暗的国,进到神爱子的国里(西一13)。现今,我们不再在撒但的国里,乃在神的国里(民数记生命读经,二七○至二七一页)。
20In typology, Canaan signifies the aerial part, the heavenly part, of the dark kingdom of Satan…As the ruler of this world (John 12:31) and as the ruler of the authority of the air (Eph. 2:2), Satan has his authority (Acts 26:18) and his angels (Matt. 25:41), who are his subordinates as principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness of this world (Eph. 6:12)…Satan and his kingdom are at war, at enmity, with God and His kingdom. Formerly, we were in the kingdom of Satan, but God’s salvation has brought us out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of the Son of God’s love (Col. 1:13). Now we are no longer in the kingdom of Satan but are in the kingdom of God. (Life-study of Numbers, pp. 239-240)

21民数记二十一章一至三节、二十一至三十五节启示,以色列人战胜亚拉得王、亚摩利人的王并巴珊王。……以色列人要进入美地,必须经过这些王管辖的领土;他们乃是为撒但守卫着迦南地。所以,这些王乃是黑暗国度的守门者,他们必须被击败,然后以色列人才能进入撒但所篡窃并霸占的地。
21Numbers 21:1-3, 21-35 reveals that the children of Israel defeated the kings of Arad, of the Amorites, and of Bashan…In order for the children of Israel to enter into the good land, they had to pass through the territory controlled by these kings who were guarding the land of Canaan for Satan. These kings, therefore, were gate guards of the kingdom of darkness, and they had to be defeated before the children of Israel could enter into the land usurped and occupied by Satan.
22迦南在预表上表征什么?一般、浅显的领会是说,迦南表征天堂。有些诗歌说到往天堂的路上要过“约但的寒波”。这样领会迦南的属灵意义,当然是不准确的。在迦南地上有各样的仇敌。倘若迦南表征天堂,这就是说,天堂有许多仇敌。……〔但事实不是这样,〕迦南……是在消极一面预表撒但国度的主要部分,就是领头部分,空中部分,连同其掌权的和执政的。在预表里,迦南地的巨人表征那些跟从撒但之邪恶、背叛的天使(启十二47)。
22What does Canaan signify in typology? A common, shallow understanding is that Canaan signifies heaven. Certain hymns speak of crossing “the cold waves of Jordan” on the way to heaven. This understanding of the spiritual significance of Canaan surely is not accurate. In the land of Canaan there were all kinds of enemies. If Canaan signifies heaven, this would mean that there are enemies in heaven. On the contrary, Canaan typifies the main part, the leading part, the aerial part, of Satan’s kingdom, with its authorities and rulers. In typology, the giants in the land of Canaan signify the evil angels, the rebellious angels who follow Satan (Rev. 12:4, 7).
23已过……我们曾着重地说迦南美地是基督的预表。现在我们却说迦南是撒但的国度连同其邪灵的预表。这看来似乎矛盾,但实际上却不然。我们若仔细地研读预表,就会看见迦南有两个特点。一面,迦南是丰富之地,如申命记八章所启示的。……另一面,迦南地满了恶人和仇敌,需要以色列人将其完全消灭。迦南的这一点,或这一面,表征撒但黑暗国度里最邪恶的部分。我们从迦南这两个特点就可以看见:我们能否享受基督作包罗万有的地,乃在于我们有没有击败迦南人所预表的仇敌。这指明整个召会,包括所有的肢体,都该从事以弗所六章所启示的属灵争战。
23[In] the past…, we have stressed the fact that Canaan, the good land, is a type of Christ. Now we are saying that Canaan is a type of the kingdom of Satan, with its evil spirits. This may seem contradictory, but actually, it is not. If we study the typology carefully, we will see that Canaan has two features. On the one hand, Canaan is a land of riches, as revealed in Deuteronomy 8… On the other hand, Canaan was a land full of evil persons and enemies, all of whom were to be eradicated by the children of Israel. This feature, or aspect, of Canaan signifies the most evil part of Satan’s dark kingdom. As we consider these two features of Canaan, we see that whether or not we can enjoy Christ as the all-inclusive land depends on whether or not we defeat the enemies typified by the Canaanites. This indicates that the church as a whole, including all the members, should engage in the spiritual warfare revealed in Ephesians 6.
24以弗所书论到包罗万有的基督。三章八节告诉我们,基督的丰富是追测不尽的。我们要享受这样一位基督,就需要与属灵的仇敌争战,抵挡“诸天界里那邪恶的属灵势力”(六12)。……我们都需要记住,迦南人预表堕落的天使,他们成了撒但国里执政的、掌权的和有权势的;并且邪灵和召会之间有一场争战在进行着。民数记二十一章的预表给我们看见如何在这争战中作战。这里说到将守门者杀戮,指明我们需要击败撒但国里的邪灵(民数记生命读经,二七○至二七二页)。
24Ephesians is a book on the all-inclusive Christ. Ephesians 3:8 tells us that the riches of Christ are unsearchable. In order to enjoy such a Christ, we need to fight against the spiritual enemies, against “the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies” (6:12)…We all need to keep in mind that the Canaanites typify the fallen angels, who have become the powers, rulers, and authorities in Satan’s kingdom, and that a war is raging between these evil spirits and the church. The typology in Numbers 21 shows us how to fight in this war. The slaughtering of the gate guards in this chapter indicates our need to defeat the evil spirits in the kingdom of Satan. It is helpful to have this view as we…consider 21:1-3, 21-35. (Life-study of Numbers, pp. 239-241)

今日要点
26主题:从事属灵争战乃是必须的
26
27引经:太六10西一13,补西一12
27
281.认识必须有分属灵的争战:
28
29a. 我们若要据有美地,以成就神的定旨,就必须从事属灵的争战,击败撒但的势力,首先我们需要认识,属灵的争战是必须的,撒但的国和神的国之间的争战是必须的,主也在太六10的祷告指出,神渴望恢复地,带进神的国,使神的旨意行在地上如同行在天上。
29
30b. 必须争战的原因之一,乃是当以色列人豫备好要据有美地时,那地满了鬼附的人、拜偶像的人和拿非利人,所以神命令以色列人要取得这地,并毁灭其上所有的人,使人类得着清理,迦南积极消极两面的特点,是很有意义的,若我们要进入并享受那地,就需要争战将仇敌消灭。
30
312.击败撒但鬼魔的势力,好带进神的国:
31
32a.保罗写歌罗西书时,必定带着这样的思想,在西一12,他说信徒都得着了一分,就是美地所豫表的,而13节接着说,祂拯救我们脱离黑暗的权势,把我们迁入祂爱子的国里,这清楚指明,要得着美地的享受,就需要争战,脱离黑暗权势,就是撒但的国,而被带进神的国。
32
33b.所以,我们若要享受基督作美地,赢得基督,就需要击败在我们和美地之间,一层层鬼魔的势力,当我们有分争战以得着包罗万有的基督作我们的享受,就能够在地上,为着建造召会作基督的身体,为着国度的实际和实现,并为着新妇得以为主的来临将自己豫备好。
33
34应用:要享受美地,就得争战,为此我们需要建立祷告的生活,也要带着我们所照顾的圣徒,全体一同有分这样的祷告,好从事属灵的争战,好得着并享受包罗万有的基督作美地。
